Two rather unlucky matches for the Hungarian teams.

Videoton - BATE Borisov/BLR 1-1 (1-0)
Even the Belarussian media admitted that their goal would have been disallowed due to a fault. A Hungarian goal was disallowed because of offside, though even the Belarussians said that it might have not been offside. Videoton played their best game this season. I can see some remained chance, because BATE Borisov didn't show anything special, I don't think that their team is better.

Debrecen - Rosenborg/NOR 2-3 (1-0)
The first RBK goal could have been prevented with an easy fault on the NOR striker relatively far from the goal... The third RBK goal was the mistake of the goalie... Very disappointing match, the draw would have been a fairer result. Nice free kick goal from Rosenborg (2nd goal). I don't think that there's a chance for Debrecen, two goal win would be needed in Norway at the home stadium of a stronger team...

What happened to Györi ETO? Why are they playing in the third division?


Today:

AGF - Randers FC 3-2 (0-2)

Great day! Randers is the most annoying team in the league. Unfortunately the victory was in large part due to a fake penalty and two red cards for Randers (the first one being perhaps only a yellow offense). But no one will remember at the end of the season.

Now 7 points in three games for AGF. Too bad there's still 30 games to go :-)

Györi ETO's main sponsor, a travel agency called Quaestor, went bankrupt. The club could not deal with its debts.

By the way it is interesting that when a politically important (Orbán's asslicker is the owner of the club for example) club is in a situation like this, the club is always saved. For even less serious problems, Nyíregyháza, Pécs, Kecskemét was also not given a license for top division football. It is so ridiculous that all other clubs' management has something to do with FIDESZ.

Trouble in the third round:

CL:
FC Midtjylland - APOEL Nicosia 1-2

EL:
Brøndby - Omonia Nicosia 0-0 (Brøndby is also second-last in the league after three defeats in three games)
FK Jablonec - FC København 0-1

So we could easily have only one team in the play-off round.

Refinements:

1, Quaestor Group is not a travel agency, but an investment company - although they are also interested in travel sector.
2, Quaestor was not a sponsor, but the owner of the club (and the stadium).
3, After leaking the peculation and announcing the bankrupt of Quaestor, the main sponsor - Audi - finished supporting the club, because of its' sudden bad reputation.
4, Because of the insolvency of the club, the Hungarian Football Association (Orbán's asslickers) decided to relegate Györi ETO FC from the first class. Although there was a theoretical chance to save the membership (with a possible new owner), an "unnamed" club vetoed the proposal. As far as I know it was Újpest - the team which was in a similar situation few years ago.
5, Györi ETO FC became the "part" of the financially independent futsal club (also called ETO) - that's why they could start in 3rd class instead of 6th.

It should be noted that Gyirmót FC, which team is from Györ, is a top team in the second tier, and can easily earn promotion this year. And like it was about 10 years ago with Diósgyör and Borsod Volán, it can happen again. Diósgyör, being in trouble, sent down to lower division, but bought the license from Borsod Volán, another team from Miskolc. Later they became Diósgyör-Borsod Volán, later only Diósgyör. For today, Borsod Volán football club doesn't exist anymore.

Btw Pécs and Nyíregyháza, two cities between 100 000 and 200 000, having a good fan base related to Hungarian circumstances, absolutely did not deserve the exclusion, it was just pure politics. The owners were not the asslickers of Viktor Orbán. Kecskemét is also almost this case.

CL Qualifying, Round 3

BATE Borisov/BLR - Videoton 1-0 (0-0), 2-1 on aggregate

Videoton can play in EL Qualifying Round 4.

EL Qualifying, Round 3

Rosenborg Trondheim/NOR - Debrecen 3-1 (2-1), 6-3 on aggregate

Debrecen is out.

                                                                                                                                           

It is also the start of the big European Leagues, so I recommend to predict the final results of them as usual.

Let me start.

Serie A

1 Juventus
2 Roma
3 Fiorentina

Bundesliga

1 Bayern München
2 Borussia Dortmund
3 Schalke 04

La Liga

1 Barcelona
2 Real Madrid
3 Atlético Madrid

Premier League

1 Manure
2 Chelsea
3 Manchester City

CTG also sent me his predictions. He is banned from here (strange, after Corundum posted here once, he was deleted quickly... much quicker than a monthly update takes place here after the replay sending deadline), so I type it now.

La Liga
1 Barcelona
2 Real Madrid
3 Valencia

Bundesliga
1 Bayern München
2 Bayer Leverkusen
3 Schalke 04

Serie A
1 Juventus
2 AS Roma
3 AC Milan

Premier League
1 Chelsea
2 Manchester United
3 Arsenal

Here are the predicitons from Usrin.

Bundesliga:
1. Bayern München
2. Wolfsburg
3. Bayer Leverkusen

Serie A:
1. Juventus
2. Roma
3. Napoli

La Liga:
1. Barcelona
2. Real Madrid
3. Atletico Madrid

Premier League:
1. Chelsea
2. Manchester City
3. MU

Another disappointing year for Denmark. FC København is out after losing 2-3 at home to FK Jablonec from Czech Republic. Very disappointing.

Brøndby (currently in last place in the league) barely scraped by with a 2-2 away draw vs Omonia Nicosia. So they're in the EL play-off round, and if Videoton are there, then so is FC Midtjylland after being eliminated from the CL qualifier by APOEL Nicosia. So it's 0 teams in the CL group stage and either 0,1 or 2 teams in the EL group stage. In any case it's disappointing - unless of course some teams get exceptionally far in the EL.

I'm glad Videoton was eliminated, but it's a shame about Debrecen and Férencvaros.

EC Bahia's flag has a distinctive inside the flag with a flag inside and a flag inside the flag...

[BonzaiJoe]

Must be a pain to sew...

EL play-off round:

PAOK Saloniki vs Brøndby IF
FC Midtjylland vs Southampton

It's kind of fun that FC Midtjylland drew Southampton because the Premier League is so familiar to me. But they're definitely going to lose. Brøndby has a chance, of course, but they're not looking like a team that can eliminated a top team from Greece.
