FC Boro 31 October @ 03:01 PM EST
Stevenage will get home this evening and wonder how they didn't end up taking all 3 points after

followed by the English teams Chelsea and Manchester United at 7-1, and Liverpool at 10-1.

fourth in the South America table after losing 2-0 away to Ecuador), and of course, in South
Africa, the Confederations Cup is in full swing.
