Your Champions League Round of 16 Open Thread

Kevin Smith Wants You to Speak Up

Okay, the Kevin Smith pic is a quasi-inside joke for us at UF.  I say “quasi” because it’s pretty easy for you to get too: Just look at this fashion disaster! No wonder he was booted off that Southwest flight.

Anyhoo, today marks the start of the Champions League Round of 16.  Man U versus Meeelan will be streamed for free from UEFA.com, so for once no need to go scrambling for an, uh, alternative feed.

Lineups and your comments after the hop.

As you may have noticed, Sylvain Distin just gifted Lisbon a penalty and earned a red card in the process. So, Everton up 2-1 but Lisbon with an away goal in the worthless very important Europa League.
