Pyunik - KR 1-0
Sheriff - Flora 1-0
HB - Kaunas 0-1
BATE - Bohemians 1-0
Vardar - Barry 3-0
Grevenmacher - Leotar 0-0
Glentoran - HJK 0-0

sensational result. Or rather expectet if you are up with news from Malta footy:

Sliema Wanderers FC produced one of their finest European performances of recent years as goals from Daniel Bogdanovic and Danilo Doncic helped the Maltese title-holders gain a two-goal cushion from their UEFA Champions League first qualifying round first-leg tie against Latvia's Skonto FC.

congratulation!!!

[Zizou]

You're becoming quite a fan of Sliema eh pyrtas? :D

Saw the game on tv, they could have scored a goal or 2 more, especially after the 2-0, cos the other team was left in 10 men. Hopefully they'll hold on to the result, maybe they really end up in the CL...:laugh never

They were lucky...losing 3-0 against 10 men Skonto, they scored the goal that got them through only in injury time *phew*

Now it's Copenhagen's turn..hehe yeah right.

I hope we draw the winner of the Sliema - Copenhagen match tomorrow.. :) We need to take revenge on Copenhagen anyway and in case Sliema wins.. ah well, let's say on paper it would be an easy match.. :)

[Zizou]

I rather we get Lazio so we get to see some famous players :salute

Would be funny if sliema pull a Basle ;)

Btw are Basle in the CL this season?

[Interista]

Any opponent will do since Inter is destined for winning the CL

(Dreams sometimes can be very sweet. A pity one has to wake up)

Lazio? famous players??? :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

yeah.. if you get the Lazio of 5 years back maybe.. :Kenzo's Smiley

Ajax would be much better, you'd get the stars of the future.. ;) :clap

[Zizou]

Lazio has more stars than Ajax. In fact Lazio will do very well this year cos they kept all their star players + they got new ones.

[Vreze]

I Hope Ajax does better. With sonck and Grygera, they have bought some good replacements.

And I hope we don't draw them today ;), otherwise, Ajax would have to play Uefa Cup :salute :D

At 12.00, we will know... Live at www.uefa.com

Hihi, you know, all Ajax fans really hope we draw you... Me personally would like either the winner of Copenhagen - Sliema or... Bruges.. :D

follow the draw live ---> http://www.uefa.com/live/Competitions/ucl/...draw/popup.html (http://www.uefa.com/live/Competitions/ucl/draw/popup.html)

[Vreze]

f***, we draw Dortmund :(

And Anderlecht-Wisla :laugh

[Van Der Vaart 23]

well, we have had a very good draw, we will play against the winner of Grazer AK - Tirana. We first play away.. It shouldn't be much of a problem.. :)

The full draw:
CSKA Moscow/Vardar - Sparta Praha
MTK/HJK - Kaunas/Celtic
Rangers - Copenhagen/Sliema Wanderers
Austria Wien - Olympique Marsseille
Club Bruges - Borussia Dortmund
Sheriff/Shaktar - Lokomotiv Moscow
Lazio - Benfica
Dinamo Kiev - Maribor/Dinamo Zagreb
Bohemians /Rosenborg - Deportivo
Grasshoppers - AEK Athens
iilina/Maccabi Tel Aviv - Chelsea
Celta de Vigo - Leotar/Slavia Praha
Partizan/Djurgarden - Newcastle United
Galatasaray - Pyunik/CSKA Sofia
Rapid Bucaresti/Anderlecht - Wisla Krakow/Omonia Nicosia
Tirana/Grazer AK - Ajax

Well, Lazio - Benfica is the real topmatch in it

If Rosenborg wins, which will probably happen, it is Rosenborg - Deportivo, also a quite good match. Same goes if Partizan beats Djurgarden, than we'd get Partizan - Newcastle, very interesting too.. And Vreze.. Club Bruges - Dortmund... I think you wished another opponent, right.. ;)

[Vreze]

Of course I wished another opponent. But we can't do anything about it :crying

I still give us a chance, when we are at our best, and Dortmund underestimates us, everything is possible ;)

[Zizou]

Sliema will end up against Rangers if they win hehe

[Van Der Vaart 23]

IF ;)

[Zizou]

Absolutely no chance ;)

[Excelsior]

Well, Sliema just has to beat Copenhagen and Rangers and then they are in the CL. Shouldn't be a problem. ;)

[Zizou]

Actually Copenhagen not Rosenborg ;)

He might have been a child abusing bank robber for all your know. ;)

But it was close.... next year maybe....

[Excelsior]

Just a close home defeat knocks Slima out, undeserved because they were the better team. ;)

[Zizou]

:laugh I think it's lack of concentration and motivation, cos otherwise there isn't a 6-0 difference between both teams.

Oh well better luck next year :P
