Balkan teams are the worst penalty takers in the world. Croats, Bosnians, Serbs, you name it, they'll lose it.

Oh the drama! After surviving extra time with 10 men, Zaria could win it on the last penalty and miss! But then the goalkeeper saved the day saving Sarajevo's 7th.

Now let's go Valur!

That was Zaria, the blue and whites.

No, Zaria shot over earlier, then Sarajevo shot over when they had the chance to win at 4-4.

Alright, I've sorted it out. I didn't mix the kits, but somehow my mind played a trick on me.

If AEK Larnaca beat Red Imps, Cyprus will join the above.

Hmm... Coleraine vs Haugesund 0-0

Liechtenstein climbs as usual. 2nd in 2017/2018 ranking. Only England better due to 5x4 bonus points.

What an awful game from Altach against Chikura Sachkere, 1-1. At least they scraped through and play against Dinamo Brest next round. But I knew that this would be tricky for Altach because they were the worst club in spring season this year and still miss a lot of players. Chickura is a dangerous opponent, they already eliminated some teams in EC better than Altach.

But I think Brest should be an easier opponent than Chickura

If we had mental strength we'd be more successful than Germans. And I mean it.
