UEFA European Football Forum

I had to miss your post. Excellent prediction anyway.

I was involved in that "debate" with 2 rounds to go:



After round n. 32 Bochum looked safe to me given in how poor forum Union were.

Bochum to the relegation Play-off, Union survive and... Heidenheim to Europe, as crazy as it sounds! :dontknow: (before someone say that it's not yet official before the cup final: yes, i know!) I remember we had a debate not so long time ago about who will end up in the relegation Play-off. The on...

Now Bochum rely more on some help from Freiburg rather than on its own match. ... and Freiburg scored after a classic cross and a header. Union players thought that a free kick will be given to them, but the referee said play on and that is how Freiburg scored. Edit: Union responded after a few min...

Union just scored and are 1-0 up vs Freiburg at home at 70'.

Mainz are 2-1 up vs Wolfsburg away.

Bochum are 0-1 behind vs Werder away.

It means that Bochum are in trouble as for now. They need at least a draw to send Union to the Relegation Play-Off.

A pity, GB played last 30 seconds 6 on 4 and had chances to equalise, but not this time.

What happens if Russia wins this war though? Now you know back when we debated this that I didn't think Russia should have been banned (though if there was any single sport, ice hockey would be the one with Putin's love of it.) But the ban has stuck, and if they would ban Russia for waging war on U...

It will be simply 1 year "blocked" for minnows regarding promotion when they will be back. Both Russia and Belarus are too good for teams like Poland, Hungary, Italy or Slovenia. Maybe Belarus will experience some difficulties, but Russia will simply win all matches even if their players w...

For Poland a promotion to the elite after 22 years was already an achievement. After a good game vs Latvia I started believing that avoiding relegation is in reach. Unfortunately, France sent Poland back on Earth and it was a match I considered to be best chance for Poland to collect some points. Mo...

Poland lost to France 2-4. It means that, most probably, Monday match vs Kazachstan will be decisive and Poland will have to win for 3 points to stay in the elite. Very unlikely, but hope dies last.

Dortmund - Real Madrid 2-3

Olympiacos - Fiorentina 3-2

Atalanta - Leverkusen 3-2

Sweden - Poland 5-1. I expected higher win for Sweden given that once they did beat Poland 17:1. So far so good, matches vs France and Kazachstan will be most important for the Polish team.

Lorric , yes, that is correct. He explained after the match, that the crowd was making such a noise that it was the only way to inform his players what to do. Quite original way of communication with the team, you have to admit. :smile1: Meanwhile, Lech - Legia is in play. Lech fans should not comp...
