@hckošice Stoch played 5 Ekstraklasa games so far, got booked twice and his biggest contribution happened earlier today, he prevented a throw-in which led to the opposing team's goal

 

Watch from ca. 45 second mark:

there were times when he was quite good. but those times seem to be gone forever.

 

Hwever, as far as I know, the coaches don't count on him very much for returning him to the team. after all, his height is a big disadvantage for him, he is too small and does not fit into our lovely bus-parking playing style.  we need only "high towers" to play our very own "catenaccio".

 

Just ask the   fans what they think about Slovak fortresses

Some weird scenes happened yesterday in our 2nd League.

 

FC Košice lost at home to Petržalka 0-4, the local fans (well, the 10+ "ultras" who actually follow it and know such competition and team is even going on ) started to be so enraged that the situation for the players started to be dangerous

 

"Take off your jerseys !" a repeated shout echoed through the empty stadium already after the 3rd goal. Even that did not help the home footballers to improve their performance. On the contrary. After the shameful 0: 4 loss, the fans repeated their call to take off their jerseys face to face. The players obeyed them and had to leave the pitch without them.

 

Disappointed Košice fans then demonstratively hung the jerseys on the fence behind the goal.

Paris Saint Germain ended Lyon's five-year reign in WCL!! 

PSG  win 2-1 at Lyon in second leg, and reach the semifinals (thanks at away goals scored, first leg PSG lost at home 0-1)

 

Next week the SF:

Paris vs Barcelona

Bayern vs Chelsea

The groups of European qualifications to women's World Cup 2023 have been drawn.

 

 

Question. This World Cup will be an qualification event for 2024 Olympics too?

after a crazy night of football , now we know the quarterfinal pairs in west Asia (eight finals in general) for the AFC Champions League

 

crazy because of so many very surprising results, missed chances, missed penalties, even empty goals. 2 on 1 situation in 95th minute etc. the richest club in Asia (Al-Hilal KSA) lost embarrassingly 2-0 to an already eliminated club (while even 1-0 defeat was enough for them) still they qualified because two other teams in another group couldn't manage to beat each other in a crazy match.

 

and all of a sudden 3 Iranian clubs made it to the knockout round while we always claim our league is very weak and our clubs suck. looks like the rest of west Asia suck even more.

 

but the biggest surprise came from our Northern neighbor, for the first time in history Tajikistan was allowed to have a club in the AFC CL and that club made it to the knockout by some miracles.  they scored some crazy goals you rarely see anywhere else.
