Rosenborg through. No upsets today, then. Unless Celtic somehow concede 6. Honestly, it would've been embarrassing to go out to Valur.

What do you mean. Valur is a local football powehouse. Featuring right wingback Birkir Már Sævarsson of the BIG VIKING ICELAND MENS TEAM. AKA. Vindurinn or "the wind" because he runs.

great op btw to do away with all the spite, is there any chance of there being an EL qualifiers thread

I considered it, but it would take hours just to look up the teams on Wikipedia because there's so many of them and they're all so very different and unique

Far too much dross in the first couple of rounds, not worth the effort, unless you're really into exotic clubs and their leagues. Just do a placeholder op and update it when the seeded CL teams are paradropped in. I doubt anyone will be watching those games before then, unless their team is playing.

Maybe just limit it to games that have funny and/or semi-relevant teams? As in, the ones that play in the Champions League and you go "what the gently caress they should be in Europa" and that play in Europa and you go "what the gently caress shouldn't they play in Champions League to finish third or get knocked out in R16"

in today's results:

--sadly CSA left us because his boys PAOK beat Basel. at least we still have Wengy to laugh at this result.
--Legia Warsaw are losing at home, and a certain Pole will tell you that is not surprising in the least

tomorrow we actually get fun teams like Ludogorets, Ajax, and Celtic, while the latter's opponents Rosenborg are in revolt after their manager got fired following 1QR.

New DLC for Aoe2 is out: Dynasties of India
Good OP, OP. I'll be rooting for my local team - Dinamo Zagreb, which beat Hapoel Beer Sheva 5 - 0. I expected them to be much a tougher nut to crack. Dinamo tends to do well in these early stages, only to become a laughing stock when they reach the group stage of either Champions League or Europa League.

Legia ended up losing 2-0 at home, and in doing so made history. This is the first time a Polish team lost to a Slovakian team in club football. I will endavour to update the op tomorrow, once all the results are in.

Updated with first leg results. Agreed, Ludogorets was quite the surprise. I expected them to breeze through. Might make for a very interesting return leg.
