False.
Lithuania and Estonia participated once, Latvia twice in group stage. Luxembourg participated as well. Pretty sure a lot of other counties did it as well

That map includes Gibraltar and they have had a team in GS (Lincoln Red Imps).

Facts aren't on your side, or how was it?
Not in champions league. This thread is about champions league.

I guess that reading comprehension is not on your side either…

Steaua is already 4-0 up against Virtus.

Ballkani has equalized, but even a draw would be great for UE Santa Coloma.

Bullsh*t. Everyone knows that question was about any GS, since small countries mostly depend on the CL route to reach ECL GS, or in rare cases EL GS.

You should stop correcting people, because then you'll get bitten in the ass. :degsmile:

The misery continues for probably the worst team to consistently play in Europe, UE Santa Coloma: Ballkani score in the 90th minute and the Andorran club has now lost 17/17 European matches!

They have lost all 16 of them!

They're leading Ballkani 1-0 now!
They ended up giving up a late goal and lost 1:2 for their 17th loss in 17 games.

Which player in the Euro has the shortest break from Euro elimination to the first game is club has to play in UEFA competitions?
Slovan Bratislava had 2 players in the starting line-up of Slovakia against England. Celje one the day later (Slovenia against Portugal).

I doubt these players will already be available, they will probably skip at least one round (assuming they are staying in those clubs, which is far from certain).
Darius Olariu of FCSB also played in Romania-Netherlands.

He scored three goals against Virtus in the first half. I'm surprised he wasn't rested for this easy round.

Very "old British" goals from The New Saints. Job half well done! I think they already played Ferencváros about 10 years ago.

So 7 days from Euro game to UCL game. Probably a record.

FCSB vs Virtus (7-0) are already better than Breiðablik last year vs Tre Penne (7-1).

Edit: now they are exactly level :)
