FC Basel defeated Legia 1:6 in the second game of the Uhren Cup in Switzerland. Legia's defenders made some simple mistakes in the first half. The Swiss quickly established a lead and then added another goal just a minute before half-time. Iwański scored the only goal for Legia, but this wasn't enough for FC Basel today. They replied with a goal from Pascal Schurpf and added another two just before the final whistle. It is the biggest defeat since 2001 when Legia lost to Valencia CD 1:6 in the second round of UEFA Cup at Mestalla Stadium. Next week, Legia will play against a Belarusian side FK Homel in the pre-eliminary round of UEFA Cup.

I hope we'll see Legia trashing Homel something around 3:0. The fantastic thing is that TVP2 is going to broadcast both UEFA Cup matches of Polish teams. Amazing
Player from Cameroon, Mbongo Alexandre Mbella. He is 22 and his club is Caiman Club de Douala. Legia is testing him, but I don't know is he good enough for our team or not.
