The "Official" 2013/14 Other teams matches thread

its not just the manager though, the players should know themselves

I wouldn't hold the players responsible, it's the manager and coaching staffs' job to make sure that everyone knows

Gala Juve game is ridiculous (on now) wouldn't be surprised if it's abandoned again!

Looks like a match of yesteryear where there was more mud than grass.

i dunno, surely they should have enough moxy to read the rules themselves, its not like UEFA hide them, its the footballers equivalent of knowing where the stationery cupboard is and how to book a meeting room

 

[Rorschach]

Llorente is playing very very poorly. Giving the ball away at every turn.
(Cue a goal for him any minute)

 

[Rorschach]

Sneijder scores for Gala. Juve need to score in the next 5mins or it's goodbye.

I should get back to work.

Juventus headed for the Europa League and extremely likely to be unseeded.

Edit: Guaranteed to be unseeded it seems.

great goal

 

[Little Luka]

Napoli to win 3-0.

That gives them 12 points and 11-9
That leaves scum with 12 points and 8-6

Dortmund to win by any margin. That leaves them with 12 points and superior goal difference.

Dortmund wins the group.
Napoli goes through because:
a) equal points
b) both scum and Napoli have won against each other.
c) Napoli have scored more goals.

To be fair it was a "sort of" dead rubber, barring a home thumping which was always highly unlikely. They were cruising and took their foot off the gas, much like in the second leg last year against Arsenal. Think City will win the title this year, but only make the semis at best of Champions League.

Semis? No chance. Especially considering we finished second (with 15 points, which is a record). In all honesty, I'm happy with the first knockout round. As long as we're progressing, then I don't mind if it's just little steps.

Come on Napoli and Dortmund

 

[Jordinho]

Dortmund lead.

Ajax with a couple of great opportunities.

 

[Jordinho]

Ajax have been the better team so far and Milan are now down to 10 men. You just know we're getting yet another trip to the San Siro.

You just read my mind, thought the same thing when I heard about the sending off. If Milan go out I'm pretty sure we'll get them or Porto

Crazy really, 3 former-multiple winners of the European Cup unseeded

 

[paxtonwolf]

Celtic getting a right good-hiding

 

[jaysea67]

As it stands:

Shaktar Donetsk

6

9-5

9

Shaktar Donetsk only got 8 points. Should be 6 7-6 8, but they'll probably be seeded anyway.

Barca 6-0now
