@Di_Gule I don`t follow the Swedish championship as close as the championships on the East. Just wanted to say that I`d not jump up from joy to be paired with them in the 1st round, or in the second for that matter. I remember when in the 2009-10 season Haladas Szombathely was paired with Elfsborg ...

Well, Dila Gori won the cup final 4:1 against Zestafoni, so MTK won`t be seeded in the 1st round. It could be a blessing in disguise though, if they get a favourable draw and advance, they might be seeded in the 2nd round. There`s always hope!

Nothing is impossible. I see your point, but I`m an incurable romantic.

Well, it`s now really almost over. Nordsjaelland was a surprise for me, but what I`ve read about FC Kobenhavn, maybe not. Zestafoni made it, now just have to beat Gori in the cup final to make my team MTK seeded. Ludogorets has made the double and made Zestafoni seeded. Without their help the ...

I subscribe to Schweitzer`s motion that every life is sacred. That man is the noblest creature may also be inferred from the fact that no other creature has yet contested this claim. Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own. To call people shit, because they`ve ...

Yes, I know, you`re right, but didn`t want to go into history deeper. Thanks for your note.

You know Malko, this is just sour grape on your part, because you despise the German football or Germans in general, but you made some valid points. I don`t think there`re too many people here who wanted more than me Chelsea NOT to win, but I`d to swallow my pride, not the first time. When Germany ...

It`s a very graphic picture, but how do you know the dogs are from Ukraine and the picture taken there.

@Aletc: Never been in Spain, but hope one day I`ll make it there. I`ve read a wonderful book from Michener about Spain and remember he was saying that only Hungary is comparable regarding how the ruling classes treated their people so badly. So Mura made it to Europe, they won and Koper could only ...

@Aletc:
I worry about other things, but less and less. There has to be some benefit in old age, too. I remember very well those times. Am I right, both of them from Galicia. We`ve our own Galicia in Eastern Europe, now in Ukraine before it belonged to the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy.

@Aletc:
I was just writing from memory late night, probably there`re more mistakes. Anyway, I hope I won`t jinx them, I really liked both of them in they heydays. I didn`t want to piss on your territory, thanks for cleaning up.

So, the season is almost over and I`m getting ready to go back to Hungary. My birthplace is in the westernmost corner of the country and its my base to travel to the different UEFA cup games. Its proximity to Austria, Slovenia and Croatia makes it an ideal spot to choose the most promising games ...

Ouch! That hurt. I`m not gutted, I was never a Bayern fan and they showed today the meaning of ``impotento grosso.`` Once somebody said that the first step to wisdom is to question everything, the last one to accept how things are, well I`m still not there. This was a game between workers and ...

It seems I`ve mistakenly referred to Mr. Murdoch as the responsible one for this article, but I was wrong. (Well, I`m wrong a lot.) For this I apologize, but otherwise stand by my sentence. As for America, since Dubya ruled the land I`ve tried to avoid it. I`ve travelled a lot all over there in the ...

I really don`t know Poland, visited only Cracow & Zakopane once many years ago, but I`m fairly familiar with Ukraine since my wife was born in Kyiv. During my many visits most of my time was spent in Kyiv and in the Crimea, but have been in Kharkiv, Lviv, Lugansk, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv and Odessa for ...
