Left and right there will be a lot of clubs of countries around (and way above) us that will be eliminated anyway as there are some more interesting mutual matches:
Astra Giurgiu (Romania) - Oleksandrija (Ukraine)
Zenit St. Petersburg (Russia) - Bnei Yehuda (Israel)
Olympique Marseille (France) - Oostende (Belgium)
FK Krasnodar ((Russia) - Lyngby (Denmark)
Sturm Graz (Austria) - Fenerbahce (Turkey)
Dinamo Bucharest (Romania) - Athletic Club (Spain)
Panionios will not play with their strongest squad in the Ties against Maccabi. The Iranian players are not allowed to play against Isreali people. Let alone travel to and play in Israel as the Iranian government feel the same about Israel as Pash does about Down Under.
Good news for Greece. Switzerland and Turkey are already stripped of one club for the rest of the season as Luzern and Galatasaray (best seeded with more than 58 points!!) lost their ties in Q2.
Terry Antonis made his debut for VVV Venlo yesterday and started very convincing with a goal after '5. The counter against the amateurs of Velo stopped at (0-)8.
I need to apologise, Pash. Just tuning in. All my livescore-apps said kickoff time 20:00 Dutch time (thus 21:00 GRT) but they have started 19:00.
Pffffff. 2-0 behind against a B-squad......
