Petrzalka was a big sensation. I remember reading an article about them at the time. Even in Bratislava itself it was never a popular club, where Slovan reigns supreme.

I remember the Porto defeat to this day, with Artmedia (which everyone would call "Artmerdia", that looks like portuguese word for crap - merda - in order to make fun of Porto fans after the defeat :lol:), that was quite a surprise haha

The new draw and format of the CL was interesting, though i feel some teams got an easier draw, than others. 

There's no avoiding that, this system is inherently unfair and presumably designed to be so. You can't seriously make a decent league ranking in which teams don't all play against the same teams, that's just....not possible, at all. It's even worse than the 'best numbers 3' you see in some sports and tournaments.

 

I genuinely wonder how they think this is going to be positive. Well, ok, in some way it will probably bring in more money, otherwise they would of course not have come up with it.

 

Edit: to make matters worse, I see Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are the match days now? Ok, there is the answer for the move to this weird format, but that sucks, goodbye any kind of attention for Europa League and Conference League :lol:

Only matchday 1 has matches on Thursday and we don't have Europa League that night. The start of the EL is the week after.

Alright, that's good at least, it'd be super weird to have Champions League, Europa League and Conference League all on the same day (and awful for the latter two).

 

The overall format remains godawful though, but let's see how it goes. It's not like we'll go back to regular group stages anymore now that this genie is out of the bottle.

The main rationale behind the format change is reducing the number of uninteresting/unimportant matches and avoiding "rigging" results and fixing matches, which will obviously never happen.:d

    • Well it all started already after 2nd end and then they talked to the umpire. And the immediate reaction was to say the same accusations about Oskar instead to the umpire. this can not be seen in any other way as well rehearsed cheating.  You are allowed since a few years back to double touch the handle but you may never touch the granite. It is just like doing it with the broom further down the sheet
    • For the love of all that's holy, change the frickin' record. You haven't got a clue about UK funding decisions.
    • I just woke up. It's surprising that Malinin lost. Before the Olympics, I thought there was a 99% chance Malinin would win. I can only say that this is the charm of the Olympics.
    • I'm far from perfect but for the most part my skeletons are funnier than they are problematic - just stuff I prefer to not share on International television :P   I also don't have an SO to cheat on (...anymore, since I am a divorcé and single-ish xD )
    • Always incredible to see people freely share information that you could not waterboard out of me

    • Some words about Ghiotto: for me he doesn't have the same personality/character, like Lollobrigida- I also wrote about this yesterday about case of Wiklund. Ghiotto can only win/win medals when he's in 100% shape. Otherwise, he gives up mentally. He can't break through in a difficult moment during the race and try to salvage at least some of his race. Today, the silver/bronze medal was within reach- all he needed was to win the heat against Begrsma (when was the last time he lost to him in a 10 km race?). In my opinion, Lollobrigida had the totally different personality, that Ghiotto did. When she would a similar mental, like Ghiotto, so she have given up yesterday with max. 2/3 laps remaining and finished 4. Another thing is that even without the right mentality, Ghiotto today had his worst 10k race in over 5 years and there's no excuse for that. Unless he was sick or injured, but I don't know anything about that yet.
    • When I was recently in Warsaw in December and walking its streets, I have the impression that for about 5-10 years, 1/3 of your athletes of most of popular sports summer and winter, will be probably came from Ukraine/Belarus etc., but I could be wrong. Unfortunately, the war contributed a lot to this, and it's not over yet    Poland did a great business with Semyrunyi, but it was certainly influenced by the fact that they have an indoor track and good training conditions there, but it could have been as you wrote, that today he would have won a medal for Kazakhstan or Germany. At all, Poland currently only has excellent sprint teams: men's and women's, so someone like Wladimir would be very useful in the long distances, because without him, Poland is practically nonexistent there. And yet, they have one more medal.    The Czech Republic, however, has the greatest luck: no indoor track at home, no major home events like the Olympics, etc, all the attention on ice hockey, but for 20 years they've had Sablikova and now Jilek- probably for next 20 years. Sport isn't always fair. Actually, Slovakia could at least get someone like that now, just to balance things out, instead of always having lucky of one country
