It may well be the preserve of Thursday nights and Channel Five, but the Europa League, now
ready for the knock-out stages is still peppered with some of Europe's big guns. Probably the
biggest in the competition, Manchester United, will face another all-time European great, Ajax, in
the last 32, a tie which has more than a hint of glamour.
Bislang ging Schalkes Trainer Ralf Rangnick davon aus, dass er die ungefähr 20 bis 25 Millionen
Euro, welche der FC Schalke durch den Verkauf von Nationaltorhüter Manuel Neuer an den FC Bayern
München eingenommen hat, zumindest zum größten Teil wieder komplett in neue Spieler investieren
kann.
Before this weekend's action, the MNT Blog cited three sets of games to keep an eye on involving
U.S. internationals. Here's how they fared, and what it now means:

With the home victory, Twente remains in the driver's seat to collect their second consecutive
league title.
Me: Why hello, madam. You seem very sprightly and alive today. Not to mention a
little big around the edges.
Fat Lady: Of course I'm alive, it's my time. And what do you mean, big? You're
one to talk, baby Jupiter.
Me: I resent that.
Good morning everyone. The Sounders are back home this weekend for a game against the Chicago
Fire. The Fire are in a quasi-rebuilding mode this year with plenty of new players on the pitch.
They've had a good run so far with the help of some red cards against their opponents. It's a
winnable game for the Seattle Sounders.
