ECL Matchday 1
West Ham is probably the team from top5 championships that has the worst experience vs romanian teams. I am afraid they might take revenge on those experiences tonight. I am always hopeful of a good game for my teams and FCSB did manage to rise the level for the european games this season, but there are so many things at the team that are not done professionally that you have to fear records being broken as well.
FORZA STEAUA! FORZA MILAN!
I will watch Villarreal - Lech, but only because I am Polish. Normally I would never picked this match to watch since I expect it to be one-sided and I don't like this kind of matches. It's really hard to have any positive expectations regarding this match from Polish point of view. I hope for at least some dangerous counter-attacks by Lech and their good performance overall. If everything will be over at some point, like Villarreal leading by a 3-goal margin for example, I will switch to some other match.
Villarreal starts with their reserve team. There are 11 changes in the line-up comparing to last league fixture against Elche and there are literally some Villarreal B players (playing in the second division).
Lech with a defensive line-up, three DMs and Amaral on the wing. Chances are not high, but with this Villarreal approach, who knows.

John van den Brom (Lech coach) said at press conference "Unai Emery showed a lot of respect to us". Well, he may respect Lech, but surely don't rate the team very high.
Good then, if he thinks it will be enough for Lech, let's see.
Odds for Villarreal went up after announcing the squads, but not much.
Nice - Köln kickoff delayed. Apparently there are some fights at the stands.

10k-15k Köln fans in Nice. Amazing scenes the whole day. But unfortunately now some of the Köln fans attacked Nice fans in the stadium. Looks like a ban in the next game(s) already. Nothing against well planned hool fights in the forest with fair rules, but please not in a stadium.

Villarreal plays at Betis on Sunday in LaLiga. That might have something to do with it . . .Juliusz wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 17:30 Villarreal starts with their reserve team.

"Past performance is no guarantee of future results."
Lech scored! 
Error in the build-up and the goal was left empty.

Anyone got a Hearts stream please?
Lech constantly press on Villarreal's half. Just wow.
