UCL: Roma 1 - 2 Cluj  Awful result for the Romans and good for the Romanians!

PS: I know that will upset CTG

CFR Cluj was founded by a Hungarian man in the 1907 (Kolozsvári Vasutas Sport Club; KVSC). So the original name is Kolozsvár - Cluj-Napoca in Romanian - and it used to be almost a pure Hungarian town around 1910 (over 80%, now this ratio is only 19%). What a shame there's no Hungarian player in the team...

I was a bit shocked by that result!

And tonight:  Celtic - AaB

It will be a hard one for AaB, but the shouldn't look too much forward because Villareal and Manchester United will be even harder

But we remember 2007: FC København - Manchester United  1 - 0

It will also be really interesting to see how Zenit St. Petersburg can perform against the real top teams.

It seems both of CFR Cluj's goals were scored by a guy called Juan Culio   

Do you know what that means in Italian?  Oh dear, that must have been an extra insult to Roma

And just for the info... He's Argentinian.

Money, money, money... UEFA is going to vote for a 24 teams Euro2016. More profit, less interesting matches.

Today in the danish Cup:

Brønshøj - AaB   2 - 3 (1 - 1)

Brønshøj is a team from the 3rd best league, maybe the 40th best team in Denmark.

Tuesday in CL:

AaB - Manchester United

Some surprising results from UEFA Champions League:

Fiorentina - Steaua Bucarest 0-0 
BATE Borisov - Juventus 2-2 
CFR Cluj - Chelsea 0-0
Anorthosis Famagusta - Panathinaikos 3-1    

[Chulk]

CFR Cluj seems quite strong. Beating AS Roma in Rome and a draw against Chelsea.

Hungary - Albania 2-0 (0-0)

Really nice game in the second half, this team is a lot stronger than in the Bozsik-Várhidi nightmare era. 3rd place of the qualification group seems to be a hard but realistic goal at the moment.

Faroe Islands - Austria 1-1 

[BonzaiJoe]

Hungary has done reasonably well... Home draw with Denmark, away defeat vs Sweden, home victory vs Albania. But all of those are half-expected results. The real strength of Hungary will show in the away match with Denmark and the home match with Sweden. If Hungary can get 2-3 points in those matches, there is definitely a good progress and you can start to dream

Denmark with a safe and not very interesting 3-0 victory against Malta. Perfect 0-0 draw in Sweden - Portugal and things are looking nice for Denmark. But of course everything will depend upon our matches with Sweden.

[Chulk]

Good to see all of your NT have chances to go to the World Cup. We'll go for sure, but if we continue to play like this, will come back home in 1st round.

Hungary - Albania 2-0 (0-0)

Really nice game in the second half, this team is a lot stronger than in the Bozsik-Várhidi nightmare era. 3rd place of the qualification group seems to be a hard but realistic goal at the moment.

I hate that hooray optimism. Let's see first if the Koeman team can get all the 12 points versus Malta and Albania or not. That's the only chance to finish 3rd.

Who said that modern football means small scores ?
Champions League, yesterday evening :
St. Bucarest 3-5 Lyon
Fenerbahce 2-5 Arsenal
Villareal 6-3 Aalborg
Manchester United 3-0 Celtic Glasgow
Bayern Munich 3-0 Fiorentina

This is the football I like.

[BonzaiJoe]

I was thinking that too, yesterday! So many goals. This round was interesting to follow even only with text updates
