Champions League 2017/18

[Ebeneezer Goode]

is it though

 

[epic73]

We'll find out.

 

[Dirk]

Oh damn, Hoffenheim has to play against Liverpool. Fuck! Firmino will meet some old "mates"

 

[Stevencc]

Liverpool drawing Hoffenheim is probably the best case scenario. They'll most likely progress but at least it'll be a challenge.

Gehen Hoffenheim! (?)

 

[Dirk]

Gehen Hoffenheim! (?)

"Hoffenheim wird (in die Europa League) gehen" or "Hoffenheim wird rausfliegen (verlieren)" (if that's what you mean that Liverpool advances)

*end of German grammar lesson

When I meant to say was "Go/Come on Hoffenheim".

Basically the German equivalent of Forza.

Forza = Vorwärts (Go on...)

OK, so you'll cheer for Hoffenheim more than Liverpool? Never saw that coming

So it's "Vorwärts Hoffenheim!"

Of course!

Vorwärts Hoffenheim!

Should be an interesting tie between Liverpool and Hoffenheim, certainly wont be a pushover. As for Celtic they should be beating Astana, however the away leg could provide a challenge.

Astana? Wasn't this the club which West Ham couldn't beat in the 2 years before?

Anyway: I know many here see it different but I don't like it that a National Champion (like Celtic) has to qualify for playing in the Champions League (whereas 3rd placed teams of the top5 leagues are automatically qualified and the 4th placed teams have less qualify rounds). I know that the Coefficient of the SPL is shite and that's the reason why their champion isn't automatically qualified for the group stages...but anyway, there's something really wrong here in a league that calls itself Champions League and has (nearly?) more actual non champions than champions in it.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

I'd rather change the name of the tournament than lessen the quality for the sake of semantics.

That was the Romanian side Astra, Dirk. You're right though it wouldn't come as a surprise if Astana did beat Celtic.

Ah, right. Thank you. Sounds so similar that I mixed these two.

 

[mistermagic]

I think that "Auf Geht's Hoffenheim" was what Steven was looking for...

Es geht hier mehreres, mistermagic. Aber Steven wollte in seinem 2.Posting wissen, was Forza in Deutsch bedeutet und das ist nunmal "Vorwärts" (Los! Tempo!)

 

[mistermagic]

Nah. It's Auf Geht's. Ich wohnte in genau Deutschland. Nicht fastdenmark.

 

[Dirk]

If you say so, mm. You know German better than me

Nah. It's Auf Geht's. Ich wohnte in genau Deutschland. Nicht fastdenmark.

Nearly Denmark? Watch your tongue .
You lived in Bavaria, they don't even speak proper German there, the Bazis.

edit: Sorry, for writing in German above, Didn't realize it when I wrote it first and now I am too lazy to translate it.

 

[Stevencc]

There's big pressure on Liverpool tonight.

I'm not quite as sure that they'll progress as I was a week ago, you'd expect them to at least get an away goal but God knows what's going to happen at the other end of the pitch where everything is a mess.

MM and Dirk have confused me now so I'll stick with "fuck Liverpool, go Hoffenheim!"

 

[Dirk]

Mo Salah (or "Big Salah" as you called him in the last PL match ) won't contribute for your fantasy team here in these 2 matches, right?

Damn, nearly forgot about this match today. Now I have to make "excuses" again

 

[SALTIRE]

Desmond tonight for me.

 

[Bilo]

Framåt kamrater!

I'll get my coat.

 

[Dirk]

Desmond tonight for me.

2-2? You bet!

(or a new whiskey label you discovered and therefore won't watch the match? )

edit: Look, who's here:



He'll watch this thread until the Quarterfinals and then will leave it.

 

[Bilo]

We're unchanged since our last outing.

So how's the offside rule in Germany Dirk?

Looks fine mate, Salah was just offside and put it in the net but it was ruled offside.

 

[G.B]

How's the handball rule?

 

[SALTIRE]

Liverpool wearing their dishtowel away strip I see.

 

[G.B]

Lovren still a disaster I see

 

[SALTIRE]

Go on the mighty Migs!! Put that in yer pipe Pags.

 

[Jamie_SFC]

That's the worst penalty I've ever seen.

 

[Stevencc]

What an awful penalty from Kramarić.
