PSG are well aware that Boavista will pose a threat. "They are a strong team," said coach Luis Fernandez. "We will take it very seriously." With five teams involved, France have more entrants than any other country. Porto coach Jose Mourinho was delighted to be paired with Lens, especially with the proximity of the location after a second-round trip to FK Austria Wien. "That's a good trip," he said. "At least, it will be a shorter one." Close tieIn the showdown between the Czechs and Greeks, SK Slavia Praha will meet FC PAOK Thessaloniki and FC Slovan Liberec take on Panathinaikos FC. Josef Jinoch, Slavia club secretary, said he believed the match against PAOK would be finely balanced. "We have a 50-50 chance," he said. "PAOK are a very good team, while we are playing well at Slavia. I don't know what will happen."'I am happy'Bogdon Basalaj, representing Wisla Kraków at today's draw in Geneva, Switzerland, was delighted when his side were paired with former winners FC Schalke 04 after knocking out Parma AC in the second round.

Good for fansSchalke coach Frank Neubarth was also pleased after seeing his team drawn against their second Polish opposition in a [url=http://www.mcfiam.org/forms/]cheap houston texans jerseys[/url] row. He said: "I think we are turning into Polish experts. Both our Polish players have already warned us that Wisla are far more technically strong than Legia. I think our fans can look forward to a couple of very intensive matches with plenty of attacking play."'Good memories'Like Schalke, Liverpool FC have also lifted the famous trophy. The English club, winners three times, will play SBV Vitesse after failing to make the second group stage of the UEFA Champions League. "Of course we are very disappointed not to be in the Champions League," said chief executive Rick Parry. "But we have very good memories of the UEFA [url=http://www.hotelsurguru.com/finterest.html]cheap cleveland browns jerseys[/url] Cup from 2001 so I am sure the players will be highly motivated."'Great draw'Fulham FC are one of three UEFA Intertoto Cup winners in the third round, along with Málaga CF and VfB Sttugart.
