Blackhawk

I'll be busy all next week.

Not only has he been practicing, he was also in the squad in the game with Spartak. He will be used mostly as a sub for Prijovic and I don't see that happening until we start playing SL games.

Picked his number as well. No. 19.

That's the agent Selouk talking, who we had done deals through in the past.

We are definitively an outsider against Benfica. I also predict that AEK will have quite tough time against Videoton, but will probably make it unfortunately.

I don't think we stand a chance against Benfica. Let's see if Fenerbahce can turn their game around.

Who gives a F***.

YES. 0:0

WTF I thought we had the extra player. We should not be sitting back.

We are giving them unnecessary chances to do damage to us. All they need is one goal.

Don't like what I see in the last 5 minutes.

That was a hand ball in the box.

Biseswar is not even on the bench.

I would say El Kaddouri and Mauricio our best players so far. They have been on the receiving end of too many fouls by Spartak players. At some point Warda in for El Kaddouri and Jaba for Limnios. Matos will need to be very careful.

So far so good. We'll need to be careful in 2nd half as we have few players on yellows and I am sure the ref will try to even things up. Too bad Prijo did not score on the header. One goal is all we need.

Close by Prijo.

Things are heating up.

Red card for Spartak player.

Lucky it did not go in.

Matos needs to watch his hands.

Yes a Antenna Satellite in the US and Antenna Pacific in Australia is showing the game live.

The free previews I have seen were fairly good, but I also heard people bitching about problems with blank screens, depending on what browser you use.
