They are 2006/2007 best teams (made it at least to the semis)
+ Frankfurt who I don't know how have earned it to be there.

No it is the 2006/2007 winners and the teams with higest UEFA rating. At least it was so 2003/2004, 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 and haven't heard that they changed that.

And Belgians are nicer and more friendly than the Germans
- and I'm saying that from my own experience.
I love Belgium, especially Antwerpen & Brussells Cool
But if I go to any of these places in October,
it will be either Borehamwood or Gammliavallen Wink

Six-point lead
Nearly 2,000 fans were present in Umeå's Gammliavallen home to watch a team who only last week won the Swedish Cup, and they now look good for the domestic double after Lisa Dahlqvist shot them ahead on 55 minutes and Marta wrapped up the victory near the end. With four games to go when the league resumes in October after the FIFA Women's World Cup, Umeå lead new second-placed team Djurgårdens IF by six points. Another league title would seal Umeå's 2008/09 UEFA Women's Cup berth, but before that last season's runners-up prepare to bid for an unprecedented third European crown this term when they stage second qualifying round Group B2 against WFC Rossiyanka, CFF Cljuana and Universitet Vitebsk from 11-16 October.

Arsenal in form
The team that beat Umeå in the 2006/07 final, Arsenal LFC, are yet to begin the defence of their FA Women's Premier League title but look in ominous form. In their first pre-season friendly they secured a 12-0 victory against Sheffield FC as part of the world oldest football club’s 150th anniversary celebrations, and then on Thursday they welcomed Wales to Borehamwood and won 6-0 with four goals from Kelly Smith. Arsenal too come into the UEFA Women's Cup on home soil as hosts of Group B1.

Kolbotn ahead
Of the other teams seeded into the second European stage, Kolbotn IL are also late in their summer season and go into the Norwegian league's World Cup break level at the top with Røa IL with four games left. Kolbotn boosted their superior goal difference when they overcame IL Sandviken 5-0 while Røa prevailed 3-0 at Team Strømmen FK. Tomorrow Kolbotn play Arna-Bjørnar Fotball in the Norwegian Cup semi-finals, with Røa meeting Asker DK in the other tie. Meanwhile, three wins in a row have left Kolbotn's second qualifying round Group B4 rivals Brøndby IF on nine points from four games in Denmark, three behind Fortuna Hjørring.

Frankfurt start well
Having reclaimed the Frauen Bundesliga title last season, 1. FFC Frankfurt resumed that form yesterday as they defeated FC Bayern München 5-2 to open the new campaign. Renate Lingor's penalty and Petra Wimbersky's strike gave Frankfurt an early 2-0 lead and although Bayern fought back to equalise, new signing Conny Pohlers, Birgit Prinz and Kerstin Garefrekes wrapped up the win. Another set of games are played next week before the break for the World Cup.

The UEFA Cup is finally back with the second group stage and Arsenal are at home which is nice except for the fact that they have weekday games at 6 pm and 6.30 pm and Saturday game at 12pm Shocked

We should have the usual 18 squad players available including Faye White back from injury after the Wambach elbow incident. Should she be not available, Felicienne Minnaar/ Lizzie Wicks could be called into the squad.
