MOVSISYAN LIGHTS UP EUROPA LEAGUE
Posted by David Smith on Sunday July 4, 2010
With most of the world's sights still fixed on South Africa, the Europa and Champions League got off to a quiet start this week featuring the créme de la créme of teams falling in the category of "never heard of 'em, don't even know how to pronounce 'em".
