Prediction

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: It's business time. It also means European Cup action (you might know it better as "The Champions League"). Plenty of matches on tap for today, but we'll keep it short and sweet. TWG is going out on a big limb and saying Rangers will pull the upset over Barcelona in the Nou Camp (or is it Camp Nou? we've heard it both ways). Look for Rangers to sit back and soak up pressure from Barcelona's vaunted attackers and try to catch them on the counterattack, much like they did in the game two weeks ago in Glasgow, which ended in a 0-0 tie, and had Barcelona lamenting the fact that Rangers didn't want to play, just defend. TWG is tipping fellow U.S. American Damarcus Beasley to snatch a late winner for Rangers. Bold? Yes. But it's business time.

I think Barcelona's vaunted attack will be too much for the Rangers pitching staff in the late innings. Look for Barcelona to bust the game open in the 5th inning. To all you Rangers fans still living in the Nolan era: You too will need a fast pain reliever once this match is over.

You have a good point, Ben, but I think the Rangers ability to kill the power play will play much more of a factor in this game.
