I’m not sure why a Marseille team that is 18th in the French League playing in Champions League is more exciting than Toulouse, Rennes, and Bordeaux in UEFA Cup — all of which are ahead of Marseille in the Ligue 1. If an 18th place Ligue 1 side can beat Liverpool at Anfield maybe there’s some good soccer in these lesser known sides and maybe the so-called giants aren’t so great.

Sven-Goran Eriksson plucked Vedran Corluka out of the Dynamo Zagreb and he’s been a rock solid EPL defender at Man City. There are good clubs and players in the less prestigeous leagues. Sure, there’s less hype and excitement in UEFA Cup but there is so much to learn about the new sides it more than makes up for the less than marquee matchups.

Hey, don’t harsh Basel! It is a beautiful city on the Rhine river in Switzerland, just across the border from Germany and France.

That a small town in a very small country can open a can of good ol’ fashioned whupass on such bigger teams from bigger cities from bigger countries, amazes me.

A few years ago the Basel team could beat just about anybody you put on the pitch with them. Should be a very fun game to watch.

Hopp Schweiz!
