Tonight marks that the start of the champions’ league group stages in which many people have been waiting for as some groups have great teams making way for some fantastic games.

Tonight will see last year’s runners up Manchester United take on Besiktas and Chelsea taking on old rivals FC Porto in the opening group games.

Manchester United have stated that they are still hurting from last year’s Final defeat to Barcelona and aim to correct this by winning it this year even though the current team is without their boy wonders C.Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez

On the other hand Chelsea who lead the English premier league with a 100% record so far have alot of confidence in their at the moment under the new coach and feelings are that this is their season to lift the champions league trophy.

Many may say this is pay back after the croacts stopped England’s chances of making the European finals the other year. However the England players seemed to have put this behind them after showing ruthlessness about them and powered home a 5-1 win resulting in England qualifying and top the group on max points.

Right from off England looked the most hungry double up on players and closing down right from the off important to do in those big games and that paid off winning a penalty within 6 minutes. I have to say that Croatioa where not at their best and all though it was a good English performance the opposition did not put up much of a fight

England now joins the following teams heading to the 2010 world cup finals.

• Holland
• Japan
• South & North Korea
• Ghana
