Three of the UEFA Europa League's Round of 32 first legs are in the books, but 13 more remain to be played on Thursday including games involving Americans Sacha Kljestan and Maurice Edu.
Kljestan starts out on the bench as Anderlecht opens up at home against Ajax Amsterdam in one of the more intriguing knockout-stage matchups. Edu is starting at home for Rangers, who welcomes Portuguese power Sporting Lisbon to Ibrox Stadium.
As far as the first legs that have already been played, Aris FC held Manchester City to a 0-0 draw, Oguchi Onyewu's FC Twente defeated Rubin Kazan, 2-0, and Bayer Leverkusen topped FC Metalist Kharkiv, 4-0.

thanks for the updates, Jonk!
Oh, heartbreak for Rangers. Sporting head in an equalizer from the penalty spot in the 89th minute.
+1 Read that too.
Goal for Rangers. Whiteaker off a corner from Weiss.
I heard was like -6 degrees Fahrenheit in Kazan?
+1 to this idea
A lot of music blogs I read post something every Sunday or Monday with all the upcoming television appearances for the week. I think that would be an awesome idea as well.
I love this idea! I had the exact idea 3 months ago, man. I mentioned it to Ives but I don’t think he liked it enough because he never replied. Maybe too much on his plate….
I even had a title – ‘Set Your DVR: Upcoming Midweek Action’ or ‘Set Your DVR: Upcoming Int’l Friendlies’.
how’d he do? Or are you looking to see how he did?
the original feed got shut down. google atdhe and you will find several other ones with different names. one is in England so all the times are different, but another looks identical to atdhe.net. i don’t want to post them here cause i have heard that people check sites like this so they can shut those sites down. just google it, you’ll find it pretty easily
Avi, Thanks for the line-up…any chance these schedules could be published the day before the event? So, for those of us who suffer at work (or school), could remember to set our DVR?
Surprised that no one talked about Gooch’s performance yesterday?
Franco Jara just chipped the Stuttgart keeper from 30 yards out…best goal today
The real atdhe is at atdhenet[dot]tv. The atdhe[dot]fm is supposedly a fake, although they do provide links that work. However, the fake site’s links aren’t as good or timely in my opinion. *Don’t remember where I read this, so take with grain of salt.
Fabio just dove in the box trying to win a penalty against Stuttgart, replayed show it was a total dive….But if he hadn’t dove the goalie would have made contact. I can’t be mad at the yellow given for the dive, Should have stayed on his feet and maybe my team would have gotten the penalty.
i’ve read that he’s going to be playing for zenit’s reserves now.
Does Starikov make the 18 for Zenit today? Or is he going back to Tomsk?
Go psg
just type .fm instead of .net. atdhe is still going strong
I’d like to catch the Liverpool game, if anyone has any idea where I might find a feed…I used to use atdhe, but they’ve been shut down I guess…
