Re: 2023-2024 Conference League 1st and 2nd qualifying rounds

Well, too much change. We sold about 100 scoring points (for 45 mio euro), and couldn't replace them yet. And it showed. But it's a good team and will come back. Might not be the worst thing to miss out for once and get a chance ti regroup. Historic night for Tobol though, congratulations.

Polak wrote: Thu Aug 03, 2023 16:52 Since hertolo was talking about compensation, we could say the harsh penalty given against Tobol was compensated by a harsh penalty given against Basel. This referee likes giving penalties it seems.
Well, that one was definitely not a penalty... :)

Re: 2023-2024 Conference League 1st and 2nd qualifying rounds

For a push. Bit harsh. Agree, but it was the second one. That one with Ndoye a few minutes before looked penalty-ish as well. So, compensation. I told you Basel is a cat with nine lives. It's not over yet. And after the travel odyssey they might not have all that power in them til the end. I mean t...

Re: 2023-2024 Conference League 1st and 2nd qualifying rounds

Basel are currently losing 1-0 to Winterthur in their home match in the Swiss league and their game does not look impressive either. There is not much rotation in the squad. I think they are in a really bad situation this time and they will not be able to turn the situation around in Kazakhstan. As...

Re: 2023-24 Europa Conference League: 3rd qualifying round

You say this every single time, all Basel had to do was to finish 3rd to have a group stage spot assured, or finish 6th and not qualify at all. Ceterum Censeo :) You have to repeat your message. Seems like I succeed in this forum. (okay, I'll stop). But yes, we were abysmal last year nationally and...

I'm calling it now: if Basel passes the team from Kazakhstan, we will get Pyunik from Armenia again or the one from Georgia. We just like to travel... :) Ok, I take it back, we got a decent trip route this time, even if there's still the chance for a long flight to Finland in there. The rest of the...

Didn't see that coming, but Spain should have closed the game with a 2-0. I'll take it, it's a nice game to watch.

Re: 2023 U21 Euro - Georgia and Romania

Losing 4-1, but still going through. I'm guessing that is balancing out for the last time. So thanks to Norway and Italy... :)

Re: 2023/24 UEFA club season (Champions League, Europa League, Europa Conference League): List of qualified teams

Good job Lugano! :applause: Perfect for them in my opinion: EL or ECL group stage assured, not too many games in summer with little perspect of CLGS, like Servette. Well, I'm sure if they could switch places with Servette, they would. A chance at a more lucrative CL football, plus one win to guaran...

Re: 2022/2023 Conference League final phase

I wish FC Basel good luck to reach ECL Final! I am following this club for years it was always a good landmark to compare them with our champions in AUT Bundesliga quality wise and in size of the club. 5 - 10 yrs ago football enthusiasts in our country asked what the Swiss Champion is doing better ...

Re: 2022/2023 Conference League final phase

Odds sound avout right. And yeah, I was just teasing. And you are right, we are two-faced, especially this year and it's getting annoying. But what can you do? Sacrifice European Games intentionally? Missing Europe from the start could be good for us, but most probably we will have to do three round...

Re: 2022/2023 Conference League final phase

Shameful home loss for Fiorentina. They are wasting an incredibile opportunity to win an European cup. It's not over til the fat lady sings. This was just the first half of a game and the Viola still has the better team. But hey we won and yes, we bug Firnen who I don't know why has something again...
