Tüske is not playing anymore. He wasn't one of the best Hungarian players, though he had years spent in the Hungarian first division and he played in Brazil, too. He finished his career, according to Hungarian Wikipedia, in Budaörs, which is a lower division team (currently third tier I guess).

Gera (who is younger than both Illés and Tüske) is still playing and he is still one of the best Hungarian players. After years in England (Premier League, Championship) and his injury, now he is playing for Ferencváros Budapest. In the autumn, he also played in the Hungarian National Team.

Tüske played a total of 0 official games in Brazil.

It is time for revenge...

CL Last 16 draw:
Juventus - Borussia Dortmund

It is time for revenge...

CL Last 16 draw:
Juventus - Borussia Dortmund

Forza Borussia!

[CTG]

Paris Saint-Germain–Chelsea: quite a strong and balanced duel, it would be better for quarter- or semi-finals... I hope Ibra will kick ass.

Manchester City–Barcelona: ManCity is slowly growing up to the biggest teams, but still, they are not at Barcelona's level.

Bayer Leverkusen–Atletico Madrid: even if ATM seems to be a bit stronger, it might be a tight duel.

Juventus–Dortmund: Akoss Poo is a Juve supporter, just like my extremely stupid, chain-smoker neighbour. So what should I say? skid Juventus! However, this time they will beat Dortmund - nowadays there's a serious trouble with Klopp's team.

Schalke–Real Madrid: Schalke is a joke, they won't be able to keep cristiana & co. under 5 goals during the 180 minutes. Unfortunately this Real Madrid with Ancelotti is fuckin' strong (also showing that Mourinho couldn't handle the biggest stars).

Sahtar Doneck–Bayern München: Lederhose whitewash

Arsenal–Monaco: Gunners will easily dominate this duel.

Basel–Porto: is this the EL or what? Far the weakest pair, I guess even Porto would be beaten by 12 teams from the remaining 14.

As for me, power rankings of CL:
1 Real Madrid
2 Bayern München
3 Chelsea
4 Barcelona
5 PSG
6 Atletico Madrid
7 Manchester City
8 Arsenal
9 Juventus
10 Bayer Leverkusen
11 Borussia Dortmund
12 Monaco
13 Porto
14 Schalke
15 Sahtar Doneck
16 Basel

Hey, Mr. Chuyrtix: there are 8 duels in CL, so I've told you which one in each duel is supported. Of course I'll say only 4 in the next round, 2 in the semis and only one in the final.

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

I have to agree with CTG on 6 pairings: the two exceptions are Juve-BVB and Porto-Basel.

I am a Juve fan. In normal case, I couldn't decide which team to support between Porto and Basel. But Italian teams need the fall of the Portuguese clubs to stay in 4th place in the UEFA Country Rankings. http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/data/method4/crank2015.html

Btw this is always the situation, somehow UEFA draws the two weakest teams to make one of them survive.
