Re: 2023/24 Europa League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Leverkusen v Atalanta is the final I want and it's the most likely one after tonight. Either of these teams to win it would make a great story.

Re: 2023/24 Conference League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Incredible that a team referred to as "the corpse of Olympiakos" by @Firnen at some points in the season is achieving this. You have to remember that half the starting 11 changed in January, and the current coach (Jose Luis Mendilibar) arrived in February. The team drastically improved, a...

Re: 2023/24 Conference League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Olympiacos leave England with an astonishing 4-2 win, after a mentally and physically game which touched perfection!' No panic after the Villa equalizer, off ball pressure for as long as they had the energy, clinical finishing, a bit of luck. 2 matches (both in Greece) away from the unthinkable, a E...

Re: 2023/24 Conference League quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

Olympiacos is leading 1-2 at HT, after a stellar tactical pressing half. Villa managed to find a goal in the end but Olympiacos shouldn't get affected by this, they play their best.

Italian referee Guida is excellent in all his (difficult) calls.

Re: Domestic Cups

Wisla won the Cup, a 2nd Division team (apart from the usual suspects Vaduz) will play in Europe!

Re: Domestic Cups

Unbelievable story in the Polish Cup Final. Wisła equalised in the very, very last action of the match. Wisła had a free kick on their own half and after a long ball from GK and a little mess in the box they scored! Moreover, there was a VAR check for possible offside but Wisła player was about hal...

Partizan is bottling hard lately, and Topola has a shot for 2nd and CL Qualifiers.

Newcastle above United for me, United has a sure loss to Arsenal while Newcastle has 3 winnable matches.

Tromso, really, again?

You make it to Europe and revert to a minnow fighting to survive the season you will play in Europe?

Re: German Football 2023-24

Heidenheim has a historic chance for Europe (8th place), they face Mainz and Koln at home while Hoffenheim and Augsburg have a really tough schedule!

Big chance for Werder Bremen too!

Re: "Small leagues"

Bayern, Salzburg, Sheriff and Dinamo Zagreb to lose the title in the same season is insane.

Only Ludogorets missing, they were behind until December but they have something like 15-20 wins in a row since and won it again.

Re: Swedish Football 2022 -

Sweden has 2 types of seasons:

a) pure chaos

b) Malmo domination

Re: English Football 2023/24

Looks like 30ish pts will be enough this year to survive unlike the coveted 40 from previous years. There wouldn't even be a battle without Forest's point deduction. The Burnley-Luton-Sheffielld United trio is the worst newly promoted trio combination to be seen for many years in the Premier League.
