Liverpool - Porto 2-1

As much as I love baseball, basketball and hockey, the best annual competition in the world has to be the Champions League in Europe. The top teams of country compete in a large tournment which eventually gets narrowed down to 32, 16 and so forth, until one team lifts the trophy. Last year Milan beat Liverpool, the year before Barcelona beat Arsenal. This week Liverpool had what was essentially a do or die game for them in the group stages against Porto from Portugal. In front of their home crowd at Anfield (their stadium), they won with a dramatic goal by the newly signed Spanish forward Fernando Torres. Now, the fate of their champions league season rests entirely on one game in Marseille in two weeks. They win, they're assured of going to the round of 16. If not, well, they keep their focus on doing well in their English league games so they can play in the Champions League again next year.
