I watched the Saprissa vs Sydney game and one detail that sprung
to my attention was the aggression of the Saprissa team. This could
pose a physical problem to the Liverpool team suffering from jet
lag.
But Liverpool are in good form and will most certainly start the
match as favorites to progress.
However, the "smaller" teams like Saprissa and Al Ittihad will be
more motivated than usual when they play the "bigger" clubs,
Liverpool and Sao Paolo.
One thing for sure, Liverpool won't have it too easy. The European
champions will have to fight hard to earn their spot in the
finals.
Personally, I hope Liverpool wins. Go Reds!
