Braga (POR) vs Sevilla (ESP)
Werder Breman (GER) vs Sampdoria (ITA)

Not sure if this was discussed elsewhere, but UEFA will be using an additonal official behind each goal to help with goalline calls, penalties, and infringements in the area. Seems that at least some attempt to actually get calls right is being made, which is rather stunning considering that FIFA still had final say over this.

Consider also, Boca Juniors, Newell's Old Boys (both from ARG) and The Strongest (Bolivia).

Not a great draw for Dinamo, but should be able to beat Ajax (I hope).

I'll laugh forever if they beat Tottenham. All that work to get to the CL, favourable draw, gone....
I can see it now...

Make that 2-0, shocking!
Looks like Spurs thought this was going to be easy and underestimated the Young Boys of Bern

Not shocked that it is 2-0 so early, insanely shocked that Young Boys are the team that have the lead.
Still plenty of time for Spurs to come back (especially against this team) but not exactly the best way to start out the Champions League when handed a gift of a draw.

3-0 now.
Full marks to Young Boys they have taken advantage of every bounce they have received and finished the 3 chances they have got.

Well, I guess the joke that Spurs dont like Young Boys is going to have a long and fruitful life.
