Re: 2023-24 Europa League: Group Stage

Oof. This is a tough one. Brighton getting a hell of a welcome to European football. West Ham also have it hard because Freiburg from pot 3. Liverpool got an okay draw. I'm not too concerned about Toulouse, they won a cup with a kind path and finished bottom half of the table. Again a bad draw from...

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 Think they could get 3rd and ECL slot, given Marseille's history of wilting under pressure. R...

Balkani successfully master BATE.

How many chances can an Aberdeen miss before Aberdeen can score? The answer my friend is blowing in the wind ...

Bayern, Real, Milan, Newcastle is a possible group. That'd be fun! Hah.

Their first European Cup shot since di Stefano scored against them in the 1950s!

Better for the Scottish coefficient to have Rangers in the EL imo.

Re: UEFA Euro 2024- Qualifier

OFF: Michael, since I have your attention, do you think Scotland's 10 place in the current country ranking (clubs) is realistic? ON: certainly Serbia has been underachieving, if you ask me they haven't had the best coaches. It reminds me of Ukraine about twenty years ago when they had two teams who...

Re: 2023-24 Champions League: Play-off round

Whereas I consider all and every Scottish win in Europe a success, even if its a complete fluke because the referee has farted the ball into the net or something.

Re: 2026 World Cup

It would be funny if New Zealand lose in the single-leg semi-final For OFC maybe but for quality of WC definitely not! I'd dispute that. New Zealand used to qualify for all the Confed Cups bar one. Their matches tended to be bloody dull. Tahiti qualified for the 2013 tournament instead, and faced I...

Re: UEFA Euro 2024- Qualifier

To my mind, Serbia are one of the biggest underachievers in UEFA at international level. For the level of talent they produce, no Euros in 23 years and 3 World Cup group stage exists is vastly underwhelming. I agree that on paper they have a stronger side. But Hungary clearly have a team playing tog...
