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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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...

    • In terms of the first table, there were 2 clubs missing that are/could be apart of the Professional/Semi Professional English League system.    The first are the Wigan Warriors (club logo above), they play in Super League (1st Division) and are the defending back to back Super League champions. Not quite sure how I forgot to add them, but somehow I did.    The second are the Bedford Tigers (club logo above). They originally weren't set to join the system from non league but there are strong rumours that they are now set to join League 1 (3rd Division), replacing the aforementioned Cornwall.

A big thanks to @Belle and @Henry_Leon for helping out. The provisional schedule will be up in due course as well as the results of the team comp draw.   
    • And final shot of three   D2 - E3 F1  - F4 G1 - D1      
    • And the last 3 as well to finish all the draw.
