Re: 2023/2024 Conference League Round of 16

A very surprising victory for Dinamo. Victory by 2 goals! A completely unexpected scenario. Dinamo is very bad this season. In fact, they are bad since the end of last season. And PAOK, on ​​the other hand, is very good - they won their ECL group, no competitive defeats this year (until yesterday)....

Re: 2023/2024 Conference League Round of 16

In an odd chance that Dinamo Zagreb reaches the final of the Conference League, unofficial sources say that UEFA would switch the hosts of the final so that the 2024 final is played in Wroclaw, and 2025 final in Athens. is there a precedent for this? Couldn't blame them TBH Zagreb fans going to Ath...

Re: Battle for important ranking positions 2023-24

The fight for 10th place between Scotland and the Czech Republic, and the fight for 14th and 15th place between Denmark, Norway and Israel are completely uncertain: 10.SCO 1/5 35,850 11.

Re: ELGS 6th round, Dec. 14. 2023

We've got no idea, either. To consistently perform against better teams but make a rip roaring mess of domestic league games against weaker teams is confusing. It's not just better players or mentality alone. Something needs fixed by a manager to get us winning domestic trophies regularly. I think ...

Re: ELGS 6th round, Dec. 14. 2023

Rangers with the shock of the night, they beat Betis away and send them down to the Conference League. I never understood how Rangers is performing so much better than Celtic in Europe usually, while domestically they're on the backfoot and it's Celtic dominating. We've got no idea, either. To cons...

Re: ECLGS 6th round, Dec.14.2023

As expected in this thread, Aberdeen was more motivated in the (for both) meaningless game. Eintracht without the best striker and also without the guy with the most assists, the keeper and leader Trapp had to leave the pitch early, and no passion in the game after the highlight win against Bayern....

Re: Battle for important ranking positions 2023-24

Czechia can catch Scotland and get a direct CL spot now. It's fully realistic, Slavia will get 3 more bonus points in MD6, Sparta probably won't be 4th (so will continue either in EL with 2 bonus points or in ECL with potential for more points) and Plzen is already 1st in ECL, while Scotland will l...

Re: 2023-24 Europa Conference League: 3rd qualifying round

I keep seeing people talking about Greek teams having a hoodoo over Croat sides. I think it’s a bit myth. Apart from Zagreb no other team Croat team beats anyone other than minnows. What I’m essentially saying is you could look it most countries against Croatia and see that they get mostly by simila...

Re: 2023-24 Champions League: 3rd qualifying round

Rangers win - but their overall showing makes me think PSV is the favourite in the Play-Off tie. Only watched second half but Rangers were much better than Servette and should have scored another few. Rangers/PSV is 50/50 (as was last year) and will be decided by the odd goal. Not even sure i want ...

Re: 2022/23 Europa League Final

From the first whistle to last there was dives, complaints, timewasting, and constant embrassing actions and semantics from both players and staff. Poor advertisement for a final imo.

Re: UEFA Euro 2024- Qualifier

Good win for Scotland :applause:

When I saw the Spain team i immediately put money on Scotland to win. Too many new combinations in their side imo. Scotland could easily lose to Georgia away so still all to play for. Would rather avoid the lottery of the play offs.

Re: EL round of 16

Will need to be more organised at home next week to get the job done. Should be the favourite to progress but Sporting are not an easy opponent and will probably be dangerous again. Do you think for the Arsenal of this season a long EL run is worth it? (considering the busy schedule in the Premier ...
