Today's the day for Group A to finally hit the pitch, and we've got four more teams battling it out. Remember how the first round? Both games were nil-nil draws. So, it's still all square, but the window to make it to the next stage is definitely closing in.
In this round, my FC Porto is playing against Lionel Messi's Inter Miami CF, and Palmeiras is up against Al Ahly. Every team in this group is gunning for glory, so I'm expecting some super tight matches.
I'm running a bounty for today's games! You gotta get your predictions in before the first game kicks off (check the link for game times). Here's how to submit:
Palmeiras X - X Al Ahly Inter Miami CF X - X FC Porto
The bounty pays out in this order:
- Spot on with both exact scores.
- Nailed the win/draw/loss for both games.
- Got one exact score right.
- Picked the win/draw/loss for one of the games.
Good luck!

By the way, Gabri Veiga is a very good signing . His performance while playing at Celta was great. Hopefully you can recover it for the football after 2 years in Saudi Arabia.
FC Porto seriously shelled out for Gabri! They paid a fixed €15 million for 90% of his economic rights, plus up to another €4 million if he hits certain targets. And don't forget, Porto's just barely dodging bankruptcy right now. I don't know the guy, but one thing's for sure: he must know Porto city pretty well, seeing as Vigo's only two hours away by car! Ahaahah
You won't be disappointed with him, though he may need some time to get used again to European football.
WRT the match, sorry for the result mate. I have suffered so many times Messi that I can understand how you feel now. Oporto is in a difficult position as a draw between Inter and Palmeiras leaves you out.
Estamos fodidos! O Messi ainda resolve ...
His skills are not getting older.
