Football/Soccer

Swedish season has kicked like 3 weeks ago and IFK Göteborg after 6 games struggles, as 3 points , not sure if its crisis, no ghey wont work, more relegation thing, but yesterday Djurgården 6-0 IFK Göteborg , might be biggest win Stockholm vs Göteborg ever

2025–26 UEFA Champions League

Semi-finals
Good Gooners won and might win and I hope PL as well, but damn PSG, Bayern damn what a epic game, can not believe.

Final
30 May 2026
Paris Saint-Germain v Arsenal
Puskás Aréna, Budapest

Even I never will like Hungary as before, but after small events in the spring , they I start to like then , because people chose who will lead them and they did wrong, slovaks and bulgars did wrong. Anyway I hope Arsenal will take it , be interesting game in Budapest
Last time they was in final was in par De Prince, now they play that country team, sad its not in Nou Camp for irony

UEFA Europa League

Semi-finals
Sad that it was not Nottingham Forest

Final
20 May 2026
SC Freiburg v Aston Villa
Beşiktaş Stadium, Istanbul
Two teams re write history I like it same time well in Turkey, all knows what happens and not that safest country due Erodogoran Mad Ottomanen
I hope Fraiburg wins, might bring Bundesliga higher on map where they belongs, Villa has one long ago, but still even they wins , well no Germans. (I hope Andy cant read my english )



UEFA Conference League

Semi-finals
Logic here

Final
27 May 2026
Crystal Palace v Rayo Vallecano
Red Bull Arena, Leipzig

Not my fav englsh team, and no not again Spanish they won to much, Now Andy can read my post. I hope CP will win

BTW Andy chances are Millwall can be in PL
I remmeber they played in Budapest once

New concept for men’s national team competitions as of 2028 approved today

https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/02a5-20aba2a6e7e9-38897428c81f-1000--new-concept-for-men-s-national-team-competitions-as-of-2028/

After New CL format not a surprise, its happening even I thought in 32 , but seems faster, we will see how it will be big team might stay home, little team might go, but in big picture shit wont change much, only TV and so on. I prefer old format where Fareo can get France or England and means home, now they can maybe get but away, smaller teams might not get big team at home

Aston Villa and Crystal Palace won, can Arsenal do hat trick. I hope so, might play easier after winning PL

Brondby vs FC Köpenhamn few Brondby fans attacked handicapped woman in wheel chair, life ban from games
WTF sometimes I wish we had US laws 50 years in jail plus life, death penalty plus 300 years in jail
Ultras and hangaraunds are criminals and half terrorists, in every country. I hope one day we will get rid of them

2026 Copa Libertadores
The Estadio Centenario in Montevideo will host the final

I wonder when they start CL system whit one group

Bad year for Argentina, they fuck sake should change leuage as they had 15 years ago even only disappointment is Boca but still
Sad Nacional Montevideo finish 3th
Boca - Cruzeiro game referees and some weird stuff was happening in both games,
I did not expected Platense an unknown Argentinean team make it and in same group Uruguay giant Peñarol stays 4th
Same unknown Brazilian team Mirassol will send Lanus to 3th place and Always Ready finnish 4th

Round of 16

Games after WC in late summer, even they will have brake, I think small surprisers can happen because of that fact

Estudiantes - Universitad di Chatolica
Chile dont shine and I think best they can do is draw at home

Rosario Central - Corintians
One team from Arg atm what can go to the final, Brazilians dont play best game, non SA competition is on ace as they were before, smaller teams in Arg n Bra somehow teach how to play game to big teams

Deportes Tolima - Independiente del Valle
Colombia vs Ecuador, maybe best game to see actually because non expected they be so far and both get opponent what they can win

Cruzeiro - Flamengo
I like name Belo Horizonte so I hope Cruzeiro wins, but let Brazilian football experts talk about it

Mirassol - LDU Quito
Unknown Brazilian team, I say best they can do is draw and Quito can reach final if they wont get Argentinian teams

Palmeiras - Cerro Porteño
Paraguay team , well I hope I am wronng but Brazilians will win

Fluminense - Independiente Rivadavia
If it would be BIG name in Arg yes, but small team , yes no weak teams and no weak team reach in national leuage spot to international games, still I am sceptic about Arg

Platanese - Coquimbo Unido
Both teams are happy, both think they can win, IMO all wanted non of those at this stage, equal level, Chile vs Argentina, even better as Deportes Tolima - Independiente del Valle if games be played in darker time, not day,


2026 Copa Sudamericana
The Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez in Barranquilla will host the final
Group stage only comment I can say is San Lorenzo did not quallify , they should won Santos at home, or win more because Recoleta from Paraguay is just small fish
Same goes for Racing, they they lose both games against Botafogo, but Caracas was team you win at home and away
Dont complain about Deportivo Riestra but how Montevideo City Torque manade get 1th spot in group F is a mystery
Same Barracas Central like I told Arg should fix own soup at home before eat foreigner soups
Good River Plate is there

Knockout round play-offs

Boca vs O'Higgins
Boca normaly would take this but now I am not sure , sorry
winner plays against Recoleta

Bolívar - Gremio
In Bolivia is pain in the ass to play, high altitude you know about it? G o there and check it out oxygen
Winrer São Paulo, damn I hope Bilovar takes out two Brazilians in row

Independiente Medellín - Vasco De Gama
Hard to tell here, its 50-50 chances
Winner plays Olimpia from Paraguay what is abit easier team to play

Santa Fe - Caracas
Caracass IMO are weakest raking team, not means its be easy game, but Colombian teams are stronger, all can happen, I think Caracass are all who wants them,
Winner plays River Plate

Sporting Cristal - Red Bull Bragantino
Can Red Bull give you wings? Its again hight altitude game in Peru Sporting can win
Last 15 years smaller teams somehow reach higher places
Winner plays Atlético Mineiro

Universidad Central - Santos
Santos gets 1-0 in Venezuela and 4-0 at home
Winner plays Macará from Equador


Lanus - Cienciano
Oxygen well normally I bet for Lanus but last 3 years I dont trust and belive in Argentinian clubs
Winnrer plays Botafogo

Nacional - Tigre
Best game, almost derby Nacional has good baras
La Banda del Parque vs La Barra del Matador and not so long travel, from history, rivery and arenas and so on its maybe best game in whole play off bucket
Winnrer plays Montevideo City Torque
Damn I love Arg, but second fav is Uruguay there and I want derby even its not National vs Penarol, but its derby !!!!

UEFA qualification, its cool to see specially in WC, EC years , because top 5 plus all partilistans , they might loose some outsider team, might be smaller teams entering and be cool to see all

FC Dynamo Kyiv (UKR) vs FC Universitatea Cluj (ROU)

Well Vestri has chance, because Azernajan has paus and travel to Iceland, from 35 to plus 13 celuos can be shock , so I say they Icelandic team has atvantage

Good ultras game abd away game, but Žilina are favs to me, Croats never play good, most lose as wins in UEFA club level, even Dinamo

Sofia had team all wants, yes even weaker as Vestri. I dont like Bulgarian prime minister it affects me, I hope CSKA loose

UEFA is busy now but might be concequences.

Girondins de Bordeaux, who back in 2024 were administratively relegated to the fourth tier of French football, have now been excluded from participating in the National Championships, it was confirmed by the FFF on Wednesday. At best, the club will participate in R1, the sixth tier of French football, next season.

This legedary top level team will play in tier 6, Bordeaux is big city ok tier 2-3 yes but this is , might need 20 years to come back

2026/27 UEFA Champions League second qualifying round draw
Mjällby AIF vs Lincoln Red Imps
Game what we can take and its be in home ground, really this is doable game, best what can happen

Larne Northern vs Red Star Belgrade
One team game here,

Sabah vs KuPS
Finish teams are on the riot now at this stage, might be doable job

KÍ vs Kauno Žalgiris
It wont be easy walk ion Faroe islands, Lithuanians might lose this duel


AGF vs Lech Poznań
Not strongest Danish team, but Poles need maybe 10 years to prove they teams are good in UEFA, so I dont trust their rsult, good away game for Lech ultras

Ararat-Armenia vs Shamrock Rovers
Lucky draw for both sides. 50-50 for them here

Levski Sofia vs Universitatea Craiova
Away Balkan ultras game, we will see, I think Levski does it

Omonia vs Kairat
Kairat because Cypriots will wake up in mid September, hot summer day there so

Thun vs Dinamo Zagreb
Thun and more quastion is what BBB do away this time, or they still are banned?

Víkingur Reykjavík vs Hapoel Be'er Sheva
Israel plays in Hungary all homes games, might be minus, still summer, Vikinmgur plays well and Icelandic season is in full action, plus travel factor

Iberia 1999 vs Slovan Bratislava
Slovan , but I dont think game in Georgia be easy

Egnatia vs Celje
Celje, to me thats unknown Albanian team , wont stay long

Fenerbahçe vsGórnik Zabrze
Real battle and Turkish still arfe on vocation after WC fiasco

Sturm Graz vs Heart of Midlothian
Hard to tell, WC factor, vocations, might be small eror game somewhere in mid field one goal game, I hope Hearts

UEFA Europa League - Second qualifying round
Hammarby IF vs Anderlecht
I dontvtrsut Swedish teams at this stage , sorry I dont, specially Stockholm, they (ulrtas) dont take this serious , sad , but this stage, time its doable, WC, yes but Swe season is in hot spot, Belgium ha snot started

Qarabağ vs CSKA Sofia
Another hard quastion, I say this time Azerbbajanians

Tromsø vs Hradec Králové
Tromsö, Norvegians proved they can play and last few years they rioting in UEFA stages, tyhis will be same


Twente vs Ferencváros
Big boys, I want to think Twente, even WC factor, but still hot summer in Turkey

Beşiktaş vs Midtjylland
Besiktas can lose, bloopers and so on, but I hope it happen, but Midtjylland are to weak, WC factor can be why they can win, turks needs brake

Hajduk Split vs Pafos
Hajduk will win, but what Torcida will do, will they go there to Cyprus, can be hot game for ultras

Sheriff Tiraspol vs Maccabi Tel Aviv
If it be like Maccabi plays at home, yes, because Sheriff ha sleft the star on the bench , cant shoot six shooter so well as 10 years ago, but since we dont know where home game be, Sherriff might shoot last bullet to the bullseye

St. Gallen vs Benfica
Same WC factor can give ST Galen atatage


Dynamo Kyiv vs PAOK
I dont trust Greeks , games they should win they dont in UEFA, so


Conference League Second qualifying round

Debrecen vs Pyunik

GAIS vs Nordsjælland
Derby, not long away game, but I donty trust Swedish team when they play Scandinavian derby, sorry

IFK Göteborg vs FCI Levadia
Best choice, last year Djurgården score 6 or 8 goals against Estonian team, dont remember, wont happen now, but 3 at home yes, but then again its worst season for IFK , they are in play out zone and season is like in middle , needs this to have momentum, win few games in Swe and stay
