@bert.kassies @dnina10 I have a question. If Atletico Madrid win the CL this season and finish 5th in their domestic league and thus qualify for the EL league stage (or alternatively, finish 6th and qualify for ConfL PO), how will the access list be rebalanced? According to my information this will...

My current prediction of the Danish squad. Will go with Safe , likely and possible players in the squad. Goalkeepers: Kasper Schmeichel (Anderlecht) , Frederik Rønnow (Union Berlin) , Mads Hermansen (Leicester) , Filip Jørgensen (Villarreal), Oliver Christensen (Fiorentina), Daniel Iversen (Stoke),...

I tried looking at all the matches on eloratings.net and the points exchanged. I get the following sums for each confederation following the games: AFC +29 UEFA +23 CAF +20 CONMEBOL -7 CONCACAF -7 OFC -58 So it clearly seems like particularly the weaker OFC teams have been rated too high on eloratin...

Dale Johnson from ESPN with a bit more details. In the description below it sounds like when a team is drawn, you know immediatedly all their eight games. Whereas I would have thought the first team drawn would be to just a slot with games against unfilled slots. The latter would be more "draw-...

Although the Champions League draw has become one of the showpiece events of the competition, Uefa modelling showed that a straight draw for who plays who in the opening stage would take up to four hours. It will instead by a hybrid system, with some of it digital and the rest manual, overseen by f...

FIFA will use the UNL group stage ranking to make the draw in December with 12 teams in pots 1-4 and 6 teams in pot 5 (assuming Russia remains suspended). Pot 1: NL A positions 1-3 (no teams available for European Qualifiers in March 2025) Pot 2: NL A position 4 and B positions 1-2 (8 teams availab...

Am I missing something or will this draw have to be insanely restricted, if even possible to do with FIFA ranking deciding the pots? Maybe it's late and I'm overlooking something. But won't there need to be 24 teams free in March in the five-team groups, so that four teams in each of the six five-te...

The takeover of Vejle collapsed in the recent days after it was revealed that the potential new buyer, Çağdaş Senyürek, had lied about most things on his resume and that of his deputy Sedat Çoğalan. Senyürek had talked about working 25 years for Deutche Bank in Hong Kong, having a ph.d from the Kiel...

The coaches in the Superliga have voted Nicolai Vallys from Brøndby as player of the fall in Tipsbladet's award. He won a tight race ahead of FCK's Rasmus Falk and Silkeborg's striker Alexander Lind. The Brøndby offensive players tops the Superliga scoring chart with 10 goals, shared with Lind, and ...

In the second tier, AaB and SønderjyskE are heavy favourites to get up to the Superliga. Relegated side AC Horsens has been hugely disappointing, and they are on the verge of not making the top6. A funny little fact is that the seven Jutlandic teams are in the top seven spots in the league. 1. Sønde...

The two-legged quarter finals of the Danish Cup ended off the fall season. Silkeborg (1) 3-2 FC Copenhagen (1) FC Nordsjælland (1) 5-1 AB (3) AGF (1) 3-2 Brøndby (1) Lyngby (1) 2-4 Fredericia (2) FC Nordsjælland as expected had an easy time, while there were a lot of excitement in the two Superliga ...

Horrible game for Denmark yesterday, with the pain exacerbated every minute by seeing Germany on the way towards failure in Wales. Denmark was without star Pernille Harder as well as a couple of other normal starters, particularly left wing-back Sofie Svava and left-sided centre back Kathrine Veje. ...

Sad to see the dispute continuing in Jamaica, so their results have deterioated so bad after a fine World Cup.

The Danish League has now gone on winter break, although there still remains the Danish Cup quarter finals plus the final two European matches for FCK and FCN. The very last match was FCM hammering rivals Viborg 5-1 to go top of the table. Both FCK and FCN have lately seen their results decline amid...
