We will observe a historic night today since :POR Benfica Lisboa and :CRO Mladost Zagreb will clash in the 1st leg of the 3-rd round men's Champions League qualification fixture. This is the final qualifying stage, the winner will get to play pool C (with :ITA Sir Collusi Sicoma Perugia, :POL Verva Orlen Warszawa and :FRA Tours VB).

 

It is important to note that neither Portugal or Croatia had qualified a team to the group stage of the Champions League since this tournament replaced European Cup Winner's Cup in 2000.

 

(Also I'm now browsing results of older competitions and am starting to regret I wasn't around to watch the ECWC matches in the 90's, it seemed too have a much better format and more teams, not to mention a team from :SMR almost made it to the group stage  in 1997 :yikes:)

As of now, Benfica is very close to a historic debut, because they beat Mladost 3-0 in the 1st game.

Earvin Ngapeth got arrested once again,  and the charges are serious as he was charged with sexual harrasment. Apparently after his team won the Club World Championship in Betim, Earvin went to a restaurant with some teammates and he "slapped a waiter's butt". He claims he mistook her for a friend of his whom he met eariler in Betim and immediately apologised after he realized his mistake, but the woman did not believe him and placed charges against him.

he's been released after paying a 50,000 reais (around 11,000 euro) bail...

 

he's also free to fly back to Russia with his team tomorrow...

naaa, maybe just not fully updated...

 

according to the Italian website OA (our main sports website), Ngapeth's hearing was held earlier today (in the Brazilian morning, our late afternoon)...;)

Such a lame excuse, especially after seeing the video...

    • Let's not act as if these things never happen before. Serbia's cross-country skiing drama a week before the Olympic qualifying for Beijing ended: FIS | Cross-Country Results - Zlatibor (SRB) 2021/2022   Drndic with a DNF, despite being - on paper at least - the best athlete. She didn't just 'not finish', she stepped out barely 50 meters before the finish, because if finishing, the points for her competitor would have been better due to the way points are calculated. Ended up with lots and lots of yelling and screaming and fighting and cursing, DNS the next day and in the end Serbia sent none of them.   This is not a shit move by Canada, this is a fault of the system at most.
    • Yes agreed, resetting it would help make it more dramatic as no one would be running away with it. We could also set it that there is a small reward for ranking higher after each round… maybe they start the next round with a “head start” so they bring a few points into the next round? But starting from scratch each round might be cleaner  
    • I like the concept a lot. My only worry would be that the nations doing the best individually would also end up at the top here as teams are only made up of pairs. Whereas in a bigger team it gives the nations not doing so well individually to have another chance if they are lucky enough to be placed in a good team. Any way we can balance it?
    • I thought about accumulating, but for higher drama it may be reset like in cycling track elimination races 
    • Those are the national junior championships, national championships are in Steinkjer, starting tomorrow: FIS | Steinkjer (NOR) - Event Details - Cross-Country
    • Nice for them, but also kind of too bad they pick the exact same two as last time. Would have been nice to see Regina Martinez for example (although I'm not sure that would have been logistically possible, depending on how they're going to do the flag bearer thing in the first place).

    • One of my favorite songs from the early 2000s that I listened to on a cassette on my walkman      
    • For me 20 medals will be good. And if more there are? Super. However, I prefer not to get my hopes up too much, so as not to be disappointed later.
