Whats this club Desportiva Brazil, they seem to only exist to sell players, not to go for Brazil Leagues?

 

[Takhisis]

Probably a cover organisation, several 'clubs' like that exist, mostly for the purposes of fiscal evasion.

 

[holy king]

Any Austrians wanna comment?

best thing that happened to football in the last decade.

 

[Takhisis]

What?

Anyway, Spain're out after losing their first two matches. Kind of expectable, yes?

 

[holy king]

red bull going out to amateurs in the champs league qualifications.

 

[Takhisis]

Red Bull have a team, as well as a horrible so-called 'drink'?

 

[holy king]

they do.

[del62]

expectable?

Did you mean expected or acceptable or something else?

 

[chegel]

Red Bull has four teams although the German one is called RasenBallsport Leipzig or rather RB Leipzig because there are some rules against naming it after the sponsor here.

New York Red Bulls and Red Bull Brasil are the other two.

 

[Takhisis]

I see. Death to them!

Did you mean expected or acceptable or something else?

Expectable result, most of their star players are around or over thirty years old.

There's also Red Bull Ghana I think And the Formula 1 teams, I bet Mateschitz also owns some Basketball/Golf/Icehockey/Synchronized Swimming Teams, it's a real sport imperium.

Red Bulls loss (which completes their 5th try of their "we want to be 5 times in the champions league series" with 0 attendances) to a Luxemburgian club destroys Austrias hope for place 13 in the UEFA ranking and it's now quite a possibility we will see a Luxemburgian club in the Europa League since they take Salzburgs coefficient.

Spain out is suprising, with Switzerlands imminent out as well that means that the two finalists of the U-21 championship (the quali tournament for Olympia) are out in the group stages... (I am not gonna comment on that twitter+stupid-footballer scandal, it's been handled already)

For Spanish media this was more terrific than the bailout. They are unable to understand. It is something that uses to happen when you are installed in the arrogancy (I am speaking about the media, not the team).
On the other hand Magnificent, please note the italics, performance from Luis Milla (Spanish Olympic coach), players have shown to be absolutelly phisically out of season. Besides, no one understand why some players have been called while they were they were injuried, such as Ander Herrera who was suffering a pubalgia.

Although that against Honduras was far from immune to time wasting and whatnot, and the players may have a point about that penalty towards the end, judging by the way the spanish players reacted at the final whistle (with one or two even shoving the referee), you could see that they did not even think at the possibility they might lose beforehand. I think this will only do them good and make them stronger in the future. And less complacent when more important competitions come by.

 

[Quackers]

I thought it was a bit sad Spain got knocked out. They easily had the quality to challenge for a medal spot but i think your right, completely complacent. I think they expected to turn up and just win without putting the effort in. These players and the management have a lot to answer for!

Well, they needed a bit of reality.

Poland is just pathetic.

4 games, 4 losses in europe, and to incredibly average teams.

I suppose it is unlucky timing that two teams(Lech and Slask) lost their entire starting 11's this summer and haven't invested in anyone and are basically playing their reserve team, and nobody expected Ruch to beat Plzen, they are a champions league side. The Legia result just stings though. SV Reid was such a bad side and Legia just let them win.

I blame the new manager, he is another talentless Ekstraklasa , Legia were wrong to fire Skorza. Under Skorza they could've realistically advanced to the semi finals in the Europa League but the new manager Urban just has no eye for tactics and formation.
