UEFA Europa League

Hapoel Beer Sheva up against Lugano.
Kokorin scores for Zenit.
Lazio almost up thanks to Vitesse fucking it up at the back.
Diego Llorente allows Real Sociedad to take the lead against Rosenborg. Great run of form for the basque outfit.
2-0 now.

Check out the Marseille game. The noise is deafening :slight_smile:

Plea puts Nice up.
Plea again. 2-0 Nice. Zenit make it 2 as well and Steaua take the lead.
Guimares 1-0 against Red Bull.
Nice kill the game off in 30 minutes. 3-0 Dante.
Vitesse score!
Game over for Zenit as well. 3-0. Some piss poor teams in the Europa League as well.

This is sad. Back here this happens when Feyenoord visits other small Dutch clubs. We are getting dismantled as one of the ten biggest clubs in Europe.

My dad, who supports Besiktas told me about when Arsenal lost this competition to Galatasaray. Knowing we lost this comp before is annoying so Iā€™m very motivated to win it. Wish more people were the same, weā€™ve got bragging rights if we win Europa

That was the EUFA cup which was a different competition.
It wasnā€™t a great game and we lost on penalties.
Al;though it does mean Wenger has got to two European finals.

I thought UEFA Cup and Europa League was the same? Just a different name

Not sure about this if Iā€™m honest. Itā€™s an achievement and something to be happy about, especially for Arsenal, dont get me wrong, but Iā€™m not sure who you get bragging rights over for winning It?

It would be short lived bragging rights but teams that season who didnā€™t win a trophy/didnā€™t qualify for the CL

It is a different format but the actual qualification is almost the same.
There used to be the European Cup Winners cup, which we won with George Graham, as well as the EUFA cup, and that stopped and the Europa League took over as the only other European cup competition apart from the CL.

The big difference with the Europa League is the league system to qualify for the knock out rounds, and to win it there are a lot more games than the EUFA cup.

UEFA?
