Bayern Munich will look to continue their dominant form today when they travel to London to take on a vulnerable looking Arsenal side that few are giving much of a chance to survive this UEFA Champions League Round of 16 match-up.
Bayern is running away with the Bundesliga, and playing some of the best soccer on the world. Arsenal? They just lost to Reading in the FA Cup. Those things aside, the Gunners will be looking to uphold their track record of stepping up in Champions League play against top competition.
The day’s other Round of 16 clash features Portuguese champion FC Porto taking on Malaga. Porto’s Colombian star Jackson Martinez will lead a dangerous attack against a strong Malaga team led by young sensation Isco.

Wonder if that Donovan jersey will be worthless?

I want it so bad..i think I just drooled all over my laptop.
That’s a nifty 6-6-1 formation we’re playing on the new badge.
Meh?
Plain white is cool, but I think the giant blue collar and sleeve ring is distracting. I actually like the hoops, although the 09-10 white kit with small horizontal stripes was much better than the 11-12 hoops version. It’s something unique.
The new crest is a HUGE improvement though.
Stoke coaches say Brek Shea might be starting this weekend against Fulham and that his position at Stoke will definitely be left midfield.

Great to see him working his way into the squad so quickly.
i remember when stoke was playing the champions league
Champions League or Championship?
Lol. me thinks that man does drink
Bayern was dominant. You will see them in the Champions League finals.
OT — Reports here in Colorado are that the USMNT game at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park is now sold out shortly after the public sale went into effect this morning.
This second half has been much more interesting. Arsenal scored on a corner which was clearly a goal kick. But to be fair, Bayern’s defending was shambolic.
And the Gunners will be kicking themselves for letting in that one. Back to a two-goal lead.
Lugano on the bench for Malaga and Onyewu nowhere to be found….me thinks Gooch is done at this level. I sense a return to MLS sooner than later.
Onyewu has never played in MLS.
He is done at the Nat’l team level too.
Come on Arsenal—–make the second half competitive!
I really did not think Bayern would dominate Arsenal this much.Especially not at the Emirates.
Terrible challenge by Arteta, could have been a sending off. Bayern is completely dominant right now, much better side and this could get really ugly.
One 24 minutes in and Arsenal is totally outclassed.
This game could get ugly. Bayern up 2-0 in 20 mins and look completely dominant.
haha. bayern will only get better when guardiola takes over.
Tie over in 20 min
Walcotts pace seems like the only way Arsenal will break down Bayern.
Very nice goal. Arsenal were caught ball-watching.
Good goal for Kroos quality game so far.
Arsenal lost to Blackburn not reading Ives, come on.
