UEFA Europa League 10/11

[Coruja]

Four portuguese teams playing today, lets hope that they can win all their matches.

 

[Filipower]

Ditto, we need those coefficients rising.

 

[Coruja]

We won 2-1. The first half was bad but the second one we dominate.

Jara is getting better game by game.

 

[Filipower]

Haha, Cebola

 

[Coruja]

Lech 1-0 Braga

Benfica 2-1 Stuttgart

Sevilla 1 - 2 Porto

Rangers 1 - 1 Sporting


Bah, bad luck for Braga....

 

[MaSsiVe]

Haha, Cebola

hilarious how he took advantage of that ridiculous missed kick to be decisive in the winning goal

delighted with the win of course, though I must admit that a draw would also be an acceptable result considering how the match went on.
we started off very strong, with high pressure all over Sevilla's defense but then they started getting their stuff together and ended up balancing the game.
Helton was amazing with that couple of great saves and Rolando was our best player out there tonight, simply imperial!

can't wait for the second leg, already got my ticket

 

[Sevillista]

We are just incapable of winning matches, no matter how well we play. It's as frustrating as it is predictable. By all accounts we outplayed Porto, but we wasted our chances, and Porto took their ridiculous ones.... Porto's 0-1 was offsides, but Kanoute's 1-1 was probably an offensive foul.

 

[Coruja]

Perroti is such a butthurt player, that punch on Fucile, seriously.

EDIT: AVB ahaha so awesome.

 

[Filipower]

So, Sevilla's MMA team was pretty good today. Football one not so much.


F*ck it, we're through.

 

[Arnau]

3 points for Sevilla.

Perotti's punch was a disgrace, but you are in no position to criticize how we played. We very nearly knocked you out, and you had the help of an offsides goal.

Glad we at least had an entertaining two matches.

3 points for Sevilla.

Hahaha, caraponi

 

[Filipower]

Kanouté's goal in the first leg was a foul. Alexis should've been sent off when he got the yellow card, Medel should've been sent off for the foul on Belluschi, Perotti should've been sent off for the punch. You outplayed us in the first leg, we outplayed you in the second.

Yep, Kanoute's was a foul. Take those two away and you come into the second leg with one away goal, and we might have had extra time instead of deciding things on away goals. Purely speculative, though, and I'm not going to say Porto didn't deserve to go through. Just saying Sevilla were not outplayed, not even in the second leg. If those players you mention had been sent of, maybe they would have, but Sevilla gave Porto a scare in a match that seemed very much out of reach.

I am most impressed with our defense and goalkeeper, Javi Varas. This is only the second time all season we've gone two matches in a row without conceding a goal. I hope Palop stays on the bench now, Varas' time has come.

 

[Filipower]

Indeed, Varas was amazing but Porto is to blame for some misses as well. You were outplayed today, but yeah we could go back and forth for weeks like this, I wish the best for Sevilla.

 

[Coruja]

Porto vs CSKA

 

[Ulysses]

Porto plays awesome, they are favorites for the throphy . Did Porto play in cl this year ?

 

[Filipower]

Nope, unfortunately

nigga pleez, it's true that the result in Sevilla was harsh for you guys, but you were definitely outplayed today, we had like 6 CLEAR goal chances to finish the tie up!
your goal came out of nowhere right after Hulk had missed a(nother) glorious chance and then Palito being (very harshly) sent off did put us in danger but you can't deny that we played more than enough to get a confortable win in this game.
hopefully we were saving the goalfest for the CSKA clash

anyway it was an unbelievebaly intense match...dispite the result it was magical to be in the Dragão, I don't remember feeling such thrill in the stands in an european home game since the Schalke match.

Yes, Porto created many chances, but that was because we were in catch-up mode all match and played most of the second half with three, and then two defenders . It doesn't speak to your credit that Porto squandered so many opportunities. Regardless, scoring a goal would not have finished the tie up, it would have just meant ET if Sevilla scored again, which we were very close to doing a few times in the last 15 min. Porto were arguably the better side tonight... all I meant was that it was not by a significant margin. Fili made it sound like we played poorly, but I think we did well considering we needed two away goals against a strong opponent.

Anyways, it was a fun matchup and a small part of me is happy that we can focus on the league now and hopefully build some confidence from our performance.

And maybe higher-ups will realize what a turd Alexis is and get rid of him...

 

[Coruja]

Three portuguese teams in the next round. Bad luck for Sporting, they got out in minute 92 of the game against Rangers.
