Group B of UEFA Champions League

Group B of this seasons UEFA Champions League

Group B of this seasons UEFA Champions League, looks like this, after 4 games have been played.  

Clubs.            G.     W.      T.       L.   P. 
Real Madrid    4.     3.      1.       0. 14.     
Galatasaray    4.     1.      1.       2.   4.   
Kobenhavn     4.     1.      1.       2.   4.  
Juventus         4.     0.      3.       1.   3. 

I am a 'Gala' supporter, and my second favorite team is 'Real'.  I do believe that Real Madrid has guaranteed to make it to the 'Last 16' of the competition, congratulations to that organization. 

          Galatasaray FC

However, the second place spot, and the qualifier for that coveted 'Last 16' is still up-for-grabs.  The remainder games in this group are:

27 November 2013
Real Madrid 20.45 Galatasaray
Stadium: Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid

27 November 2013
Juventus 20.45 Kobenhavn
Stadium: Juventus Stadium, Turin

10 December 2013
Galatasaray 20.45 Juventus
Stadium: Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi, Istanbul (TUR)

10 December 2013
Kobenhavn 20.45 Real Madrid
Stadium: Kobenhavn 

For Galatasaray to make it to the 'Last 16', they will need to finish ahead of Juventus and Kobenhavn, therefore they will need to 'hopefully' not loose at Madrid, a tie would be a good result.  The last game will be against Juventus, and I do believe the winner of this game, will make it to the 'Last 16", which is the next round of the Champions League.  

          Real Madrid FC

I am sorry to say that, I do not give Kobenhavn has any chance of making it to the next round, therefore the last game against 'Gala' and 'Juve' will be a 'do or die' game.   The winner, surely will finish second in the group and proceed to the next round, and the looser will finish in third place.  

My prediction for 'Gala's' next two games are:

Real Madrid 0 - 0 Galatasaray
Galatasaray 1 - 0 Juventus

What is your prediction?

----------

I was in another lifetime, one of toil and blood,
When blackness was a virtue, and the road was full of mud,
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form,
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured,
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word,
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm,
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved,
Everything up to that point, had been left unresolved,
Try imagining a place where, it's always safe and warm,
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
Poisoned in the bushes, and blown out on the trail,
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn,
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Suddenly I turned around, and she was standing there,
With silver bracelets on her wrists, and flowers in her hair,
She walked up to me so gracefully, and took my crown of thorns,
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Now there's a wall between us, something there's been lost,
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed,
Just to think that it all began, on a long-forgotten morn,
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Well the deputy walks on hard nails, and the preacher rides a mount,
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts,
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn,
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove,
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love,
Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn,
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes,
I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose,
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn,
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,
Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine,
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born,
"Come in" she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm".
