UEFA European Football Forum

It might be one of the first official professional football games played in December in Kazakhstan. The league end in early November due to the very cold winter climate of the Central Asia steppe. The Astana Atena has a retractable roof though, so it won't be a problem for the Chelsea boys. The same...

With no (or at least less) mostly pointless international breaks like the next one that interrupt the season yes, we could

Keep in mind that there are 6 mid-weeks lost in Autumn due to this.

San Marino Gibraltar Andorra North Macedonia Will be joined in the bottom five by either Georgia, Wales or Belarus. - Wales need one TNS win or two draws to overcome Georgia; - Belarus need two Dinamo Minsk wins and a draw to overcome Georgia; - Belarus need Dinamo Minsk to win two more games than T...

Top 33 battle: Shamrock Rovers with an absolute dream draw most probably secure Ireland's place in the top 33. Noah have to win a game and draw another to overcome Kosovo, i think it's doable. Noah - Vikingur Reykjavik (in Armenia) will be a direct clash between Armenia and Iceland. I see more poten...

Among the outsiders i think Shamrock Rovers had a very good draw and can seriously hope to overwinter. Home games against TNS and Borac, "away" game in Larne... Decent draw also for Noah and Dinamo Minsk, while Borac has stronger teams at home and teams of his level away (they will travel...

This EL edition looks balanced. Many good but not great teams. There is a clear quality difference with both Champions and Conference League, as it should be.

Fiorentina, Gent and Copenaghen were all very close from being eliminated and join Lens. Without them we would be talking about the likes of Rapid/LASK/Molde/Heidenheim/Legia/Panathinaikos as possible semifinalists. Crazy. This tournament without Chelsea would be perfect (it would give an European t...

Of course the Balkan team lose after penalties. And that's it for this year's qualifiers.

Out of 10 penalties, goalkeepers weren't even close to intercept 9 of them.
De Gea gives the qualification to Fiorentina.

They survived this night, now i expect them at least in the semifinals of this competition.

Penalties. De Gea against a very young goalkeeper.

Puskas's white looks like Real Madrid's white tonight for Fiorentina, even before the red cards.

UK + Ireland = 5 teams
Greece + Cyprus = 4 teams
Austria + Switzerland + Slovenia = 6 teams

Almost half of the teams concentrated in this 3 cultural-geographical agglomerations.
