Re: 2023-24 Champions League: Round of 16

Coulda, shoulda for PSV. But they're going home.

Other than the opening stages of the game I thought BVB was really poor. But either team was going to be cannon fodder in the 1/4 final.

understandable. Villa still the favorite.

But I expected the tie to be all but over after tonight. It isn't.

The intensity picked up in the 2nd half. But without a routing interest this wasn't a fun game.

And 1 minute later Ajax player makes dumb challenge for a second yellow. 10v10.

Bit weak, but also not smart. He didn't need to engage the player as the bal was going to the GK anyway,

Re: 2023/2024 Conference League Round of 16

Wow. Didn't realise Ajax were THAT toothless. 2 shots, both off target. Villa are 3/2. You want some context? At half-time, all Dutch pundits praised Ajax for playing their best game of the season. I guess it's because of the opponent, but Villa have not been good. Ajax have surely had tougher oppo...

Yes, Ajax has been that bad.

Re: 2023/2024 EL Group B: Ajax - Marseille - Brighton - AEK Athens

Ajax is a complete mess at the moment. If you think they were bad last year, you're in for a surprise... They probably wont go 0-0-6, but right now i think they're fighting for 3rd as a best case scenario. yes, Brighton - Marseille - Ajax - AEK is much more likely. Hoping they will improve for teh ...

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

I see PSV - Rangers going 1 of 2 ways. Either a copy of last year. Where PSV is overwhelmed by the occasion again and Rangers quietly sit back waiting to profit from the inevitable, capital mistake by a PSV defender/midfielder. The outcome of such a match would be a coinflip. Like last year. Just as...

Re: 2022/2023 Conference League final phase

Deserved win for West Ham. They dominated the last 30 minutes and could've scored more. AZ failed to take advantage of the momentum in the first 15 minutes of the 2nd half. West Ham looked lost and the crowd turned on the team but AZ seemed too content just possessing the ball. And then they gave aw...
