Didn`t knew the draw has already been made. Only CL seen... now it seems the dutchies are finished though

 

[Kasperus]

Wis³a Kraków - Schalke Gelsenkirchen
Lazio Rome - Sturm Graz
Betis Sewilla - Auxerre
Besiktas Istambu³ - Dynamo Kyiev
Paris Saint Germain - Boavista Porto
Club Brugge - VfB Stuttgart
Liverpool - Vitesse Arnhem
Panathinaikos Athens - Slovan Liberec
Denizlispor - Olympique Lyon
Bordeaux - Anderlecht B.
Malaga - Leeds United
PAOK Saloniki - Slavia Praha
Hertha Berlin - Fulham

-Well, Schalke defeated Polish champion Legia in 2nd round so they should in theory also defeat Polish vice-champion Wisla.
-Vitesse is doomed.
-not many real top-matches, Malaga - Leeds the only one (Malaga will win)

 

[IceBlaZe]

You forgot Maccabi Haifa - AEK Athens

 

[jeriko one]

Tough draw for the Turkish teams could have been better if we drew Betis and Slavia.

 

[Dell19]

Hertha Berlin v Fulham should be a close game.

All the English fans can, with no fear at all, call their bookies....

Wis³a Kraków - Schalke Gelsenkirchen
- Schalke should win that

Lazio Rome - Sturm Graz
- poor Austrians

Betis Sewilla - Auxerre
- Sevilla, though Auxerre might surprise them

Besiktas Istanbul - Dynamo Kyiev
- tough one, but I put €1 on besiktas

Paris Saint Germain - Boavista Porto
- no idea in what shape these teams are

Club Brugge - VfB Stuttgart
- two tight match, but I think German precission work will prevail

Liverpool - Vitesse Arnhem
- looks like a bridge too far for Arnheim

Panathinaikos Athens - Slovan Liberec
- Athens

Denizlispor - Olympique Lyon
- no idea

Bordeaux - Anderlecht B.
- both have realistic chances of making it

Malaga - Leeds United
- both can make it, even though Malaga should be the slight favourite

PAOK Saloniki - Slavia Praha
- no idea

Hertha Berlin - Fulham
- again, two tight matches

Maccabi Haifa - AEK Athens
- Athens, though Haifa seems to be good for surprises

Well, i toke it literally over from the site of the Polish football association so blame them

I always knew those Poles were anti-Semites!!

 

[Dexter]

What about Glasgow Celtic vs. Celta Viga?? Now that should be a good game if Celtic can play as good as they did donw at Ewood Park on Thrusday

As for the Liverpool vs. Vitesse game, I wouldn't count out Vitesse, afterall Liverpool managed to drop 3 goals inside 45 minutes to FC Basle in the Champions League, I wouldn't call this game as over yet. Though the smart money is still on Liverpool to win

 

[Kasperus]

doh... polish football association isn`t very reliable it seems...2 games already missed, how much more to come?
Well, there is a chance for every club obviously. If Wisla Krakow manages to be 1:0 behind with 45 minutes to go they should statistically win that match with 4:1 - it would be 3rd time already then (something similar happened last year - cannot remember the opponent but it was a spanish one and this year again in last match against Parma )

 

[G-Man]

Not those greeks again.... We've beaten you once. Can't you get enough? If only we would've had a home game as well...

 

[Dell19]

Its two legs so you will get to play them at home as well, afterwards.

 

[IceBlaZe]

Not really a home game.
No games for UEFA in Israel because of "the situation"

It's darn stupid. It's only because Haifa is a small team.
We have no problems with the European Basketball association.

 

[Kasperus]

Well, no one gave Wisla Krakow a chance but as usual they won the 2nd match 4:1 in Gelsenkirchen, and so with 1:1 and 4:1 Wisla eliminated Schalke and reaches the 4th round A few Germans should be very ashamed of themselves I guess
