UEFA European Football Forum

So:

- Nordic meltdown;
- France overcomes the qualifiers "curse";
- heartbreak in the Balkans for Bodo once again;
- Slovan Bratislava, the real surprise of CL qualifiers 2024/25.

It seems i'm missing a classic (in Bratislava). I logged in here but no football for me tonight.

What i find surprising is not so much the result in Serbia, but the stats (they clearly show Red Star are annihilating Bodo tonight). Coefficient-wise, we know that it will be best for Glimt and Norway to go to the EL and blah, blah, blah... The truth is, every team wants the prestige and the money...

Gent and Basaksehir, two seeded teams going to the league stage in a non-convincing way.

St. Patrick's already punched above their weight this summer in the ECL, despite having a mediocre domestic season in Ireland. Today they need a miracle, like an early red card for their opponents.

Some people claim this new system is more fair, but drawing Shakhtar "away" will be a considerabile advantage for four teams, in a league in which positions will be decided by a single point if not goal difference. In the previous system at least every team in the group was in the same con...

This track produced again a boring race. Honestly i don''t remember an exciting race there since this circuit came back in F1. Next Sunday is Monza, one of the greatest (and i'm not saying this because it's in Italy). Ferrari will bring updates for the home circuit, let's see if they work. P. S.: th...

Heidenheim goalscorers last season played respectively in the second division and third division in Germany. "Sirlord Calvin Conteh" "Scienza" ("science" in Italian). It looks like a team full of invented funny names assembled on FM to start a takeover of the football p...

Meanwhile North Macedonia is officially among the worst 5 countries, so they will lose a team (again) 🇲🇰👎 Wales is in a very good position: with another win of TNS they will be very close to Georgia, a single point in the league stage will be enough to overcome them. Even if they don't, it can be al...

Ties still open: Basaksehir - St. Patrick's (0-0) Celje - Pyunik (0-1) Heidenheim - Hacken (2-1) HJK - Klaksvik (2-2) Larne - Lincoln (1-2) Maribor - Djurgarden (0-1) Olimpija Lubiana - Rijeka (1-1) Paks - Mlada Boleslav (2-2) Panathinaikos - Lens (1-2) Paphos - CFR Cluj (0-1) Puskas Akademia - Fior...

HJK

Puskas Akademia is no better than a Serie B (lower half) side, but Fiorentina remarkably failed to win this game.

Despite the (apparent) strategy to go out immediately to focus on the Bundesliga relegation race, Heidenheim wins! There's still the return leg though...
