Re: 2023/24 Conference League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Over 2 games Fiorentina deservedly go through to the final. They had this bit more compared to Bruges in almost all aspect of the game. Whenever they decided to initiate their turbo, Bruges struggled hard. Either way, it has been a good European season for Bruges and may Fiorentina win the final thi...

Re: 2023/24 Conference League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Festival of mistakes by Brugge today. From goalkeeper playing volley-ball leading to 2-1. Goalkeeper giving a free corner. Onyedika getting 2 yellows within minutes. A player making a pass to the lateral stand. Defenders turning into stone on the late 3-2. If Brugge plays like Brugge and not like N...

Re: 2023/2024 Conference League Knockout Round PO

I would like Union - Bodo/Glimt and Gent - Molde.
A double Norwegian confrontation. :D

Re: 2023/2024 Conference League Group D: Club Brugge - Bodo/Glimt - Besiktas - Lugano

The strongest and most balanced group, there are no easy matches here. Favorites are Brugge and Besiktas, but Bodo and Lugano can surprise. Bad draw for everyone in this group. :mol: To be honest, I like this group. I actually get to watch interesting games each week :D But what you said is absolut...

Re: 2023/2024 CL (and UYL) Group H: Barcelona - Porto - Shakhtar Donetsk - Antwerp

Naaba has said it all really in his post. Antwerp got 3 clown goals against them in the second half. Antwerp couldnt string 2 successful passes together in the second half which resulted in a tsunami of Ukrainian pressure. Janssen missed the last 2 penalties he took last week so I get that he isn't ...

Re: 2023/2024 CL (and UYL) Group H: Barcelona - Porto - Shakhtar Donetsk - Antwerp

Predictable results on Match day 1 Barcelona and Porto showed that they are miles ahead of Antwerp and Shakhtar. Coach Van Bommel(Antwerp) went to talk to Xavi who he knows after just 18 minutes into the game. Xavi said he came to congratulate on doing so well. But the hands in front of the mouth ma...

Re: 2023/2024 Conference League Group D: Club Brugge - Bodo/Glimt - Besiktas - Lugano

Besiktas and Brugge play for top spot. I have got to give the edge here to Brugge.
But don't underestimate the Norweigian squad Bodo/Glimt, I see them taking points from either Besiktas or Brugge. Maybe even both if they happen to underestimate them.

Re: 2023/2024 Conference League Group B: Gent - M. Tel Aviv - Zorya Luhansk - Breidablik

Gent managed to hold on to their 2 "gold" strikers Orban and Cuypers. If they don't take 1st place here it will be a shocker.
Gent also shored up their defense with more "quality" players compared to last year.

Re: 2023/2024 CL (and UYL) Group H: Barcelona - Porto - Shakhtar Donetsk - Antwerp

This group is pretty straight forward, Porto and Barcelona are going to take top 2 spots and Shakthar and Antwerp may fight it out for third. A small advantage for Antwerp may be that it plays Antwerp - Barcelona in the 6th game. Assuming Barcelona has qualified by then, it might start with a "...

Re: 2023-24 Europa League: Group Stage

Group B and group E are going to be the most interesting to watch. Both are challenging groups where all have a chance to pass through to the next round. AEK don't have any chance of getting out that group I don't know, I am not up to date anymore on things as before but isn't it only the 4th place...

Re: 2022/2023 Conference League final phase

The team to avoid here is West Ham :D
All other match ups are going to be pretty balanced.

Re: ECL round of 16

Gift Orban what a valuable player has he been for Gent since he joined.
First half started sleepily, went to make some tea and came back to the screen just in time to see the crazy 6 minutes of Gent start.
