Mubama, local boy who's been with West Ham since 8, now 18, scores his first West Ham goal with a diving header, 0-2!
2-2 Koln, this sends Partizan to the Round of 16, and Koln is 1 goal away from 2nd place now.

2-2 Köln! One more goal needed! But again, sooner or later Nice will score again.

Not the domestic Cups. The league and the CL qualifiers. I mentioned the cup to highlight the number of matches that's going to be played next season. Which will be higher than usualy due to both the last four rounds of the 2022 cup, and the whole 2023 cup being played in the same season. Even if they weren't prioritizing it, they'd still have to field a team and prepare for the matches.Firnen wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 21:18Molde would prioritize the domestic Cup over Europe? That's mental...Kjello wrote: ↑Thu Nov 03, 2022 21:15I hope it's not the reason. But one of the Norwegian pundits who come from the Molde area, wrote on Twitter during the match that he though Molde really didn't care to much if they advanced or not.
He thought that Moldes focus is on the Champions League qualifiers next summer. And having to play competetive matches already in February, isn't optimal when one will have both the last rounds of the 2022 Cup in March and April, the 2023 Cup from May to December, European qualifiers in July and August, all the while attempting to defend the league title. Both Molde in 2021 and Bodø/Glimt this season had poor starts to the season which contributed to them failing to win the league. So I can understand that logic. Still I really don't hope it's true. As that would be very shortsighted in my opinion.
Also, having to prepare for matches in February when the domestic season doesn't start for another month and a half is mentally and physically challenging. Both Molde in 2021 and Bodø/Glimt this season had really poor starts to the season. Which in the end cost them the title. And unlike popular belief in Norway, the Norwegian football season is actually realy compact. Especially for the teams playing qulification matches in the summer.
So if you enter the domestic season not fully prepared mentally and physically, you won't get much free time to recover.
Fornales, 0-3 slamming in after a poor clearance of a cross by the keeper.
And West Ham are sending in the kids. They were gonna do it anyway before the goal.

Slovacko's equalizer throws the Group into chaos again.
Koln can go 1st with a game winner!

Another assist by Ishak and second goal by Skóraś! 3-0
Let's wait for the draw and the opponent for Lech and let's see if they break "the course" of Polish clubs and win an European tie in Spring. Legia qualified for the CLGS after 20 years of waiting by the Polish fans, so maybe Lech will pass a round in spring after 32 years of waiting.
The West Ham kids look good out there, spraying the ball around and creating chances.
