UEFA Cup round 1

Today's match:

80' Litex Lovech (Bul) - Hamburgers SV (Ger) 0-1
75' Castelen 0-1

Castelen MOTM

Nur der HSV!!!

kicker.de

"Urplötzlich die Führung für die Hamburger! Castelen setzt sich auf der rechten Seite durch und zieht flach ab. Todorov ist noch leicht dran, aber der Ball rutscht vom Innenpfosten ins Tor."

Haven't seen it yet, but the way they describe it, it looks like he all did it by himself.

FT 0-1

It was a really poor game with almost no chances for either side. The goal came absolutely out of the blue and was greatly supported by the keeper. If I had to choose a MOTM, it would be Jarolim.

Great how those Germans keep bitching about the Dutch, but it's us who are earning points for the UEFA ranking for you

All of Thursday's games. Should be fun tracking these

i went to the game litex v hamburg, and have seen games a lot poorer than that one.i think both teams would have been happy to end 0-0 just before the goal was scored.hamburg could probably gone up a gear or two, and will probably win in germany by 3 goals, but on tuesdays evidence do not look potential uefa winners.if you do not like huge stadiums, lovech is a great place to watch european football on a sunny september evening,good welcoming club,friendly atmosphere,nice town.

Most of the games today are being played around mid to late afternoon.

Groningen-Fiorentina should be fun, but im going to watch the final destruction of the c**ts tonight.

Away in Zagreb....I'll hope it will be a massacre like in 1995

Come on the Metalist

1. Didn't Ajax win the CL in '95?

2. You're not all that pro-Dutch if you want a Dutch team to be destroyed in Europe, are you? Maybe you're primarily anti-German?

Effenberg, I wish all the Dutch teams well i really do. Except for one team that is...

And saying that I'm anti-German is beyond anything is this world. I would love to see HSV win the UEFA-cup this year. And when Ajax is playing a German team I always cheer for the German team!!! Even if it's Bayern!! That 0-8 in that friendly was pure genius.

Ajax will get rape today , to be honest i don't really care. The aim is to win the league title, this team is no where near good enough to do anything in European Football .,. until van Basten comes next season , he will do a van Gaal (here is me hoping)

Maybe Ajax could tap up Modric today ??

WTF, Pro7 is showing the Bayern game?! And here I thought it couldn't get worse than Kai 'nur-die-liebe-zählt' Pflaume as a pundit last season.

Ajax are no longer Dutch, they have been excommunicated by true Dutch football fans for backstabbing other clubs and playing Cr@p to boot

If you're a Fiorentina fan...

We are so gonna be slaughtered : 1-3 is what I expect

Come on Dinamo!

coach Branko Ivanković "Ajax are among the best teams in the world. They are favourites in this match and it will not be a disgrace if we lose against Ajax."


God bless the legacy

Anderlecht vs Rapid Vienna - thinking of a home win for my accumulator anyone think different ?

I think that the former Everton player Bakayoko scored against Blackburn!

Dinamo Zagreb: Georg Koch; Gordon Schildenfeld, Dino Drpić, Davor Vugrinec, Hrvoje Čale, Nikola Pokrivač, Luka Modrić, Ognjen Vukojević, Sammir, Etto; Bosko Balaban

Wissels: Filip Lončarić, Marijan Buljat, Josip Tadić, Mathias Chago, Franck Manga Guela, Ivica Vrdoljak, Tomislav Šokota.

Ajax: Maarten Stekelenburg; George Ogararu, Jaap Stam, Gregory van der Wiel, Thomas Vermaelen; Gabri, Hedwiges Maduro, John Heitinga, Urby Emanuelson; Dennis Rommedahl, Klaas Jan Huntelaar.

Wissels: Dennis Gentenaar, Ismael Urzaiz, Luque, Luis Suárez, Jan Vertonghen, Mitchell Donald, Siem de Jong.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No Colin and van der Wiel in the team .. this can not be true.

Balaban and Modric will be Dinamo Zagrebs match-winners.

Anderlecht are not in the greatest form lately, they play decent football but lack a real killer. I wouldnt put my money on this game.

Suarez injured or so ?

He was subbed in the last game , not happy .. maybe its a precaution.

Zagreb is dominating so far

Eto'o should have scored that one!

If Colin was playing it be 2:0 to Zagreb by now ...

We lack the final finish, but are playing good overall.
