Champions League - qualification July 17, 2007

[allthethings]

Adding:

Soccer - Kaunas - spread pk (+117)
for the regulation time held on Jul 17 at 1:30pm [pending]

Could have had this for +0.5 but terrible odds. Kaunas is experienced in CL competition (two years ago they scored a 4-2 victory away in their first game before getting knocked out by Liverpool in the 2nd round) and in first place in Lithuania, with one loss in eight road games (3-4-1) and two losses total for the year (20 games). Zeta was 16-0-1 at home last season; their last game was May 26. Prior to this season they played in Serbia & Montenegro, where I'm told they were a midtable team. Once the split occurred, they were the best in Montenegro, which is sort of like being the tallest midget in the circus.

Anybody know where to get real-time stats? UEFA site has nothing on it.

Have faith Elfsborg fans !!!

42' Another dubious offside decision allows Berglund free as a river inside the box - and he misses a sitter, scewing it right of Mannus' goal. That was a left off for Linfield.

44' Slip by O'Kane allows Mathias Svensson to gain possession but his 4 yard shot was well blocked by Alan Mannus. Another great chance for the Swedes.

45' + Stoppage time and it's 0-0. Linfield have done well to keep the score at parity.

Its a coming !!!!!!

elfborg letting me down for my treble

What a miserable farking day. Talked myself out of Cork -1 and Murata +2.5, went 0-3 with my horrid picks.

Something to keep in mind for Wednesday (more Champions League) and Thursday (UEFA Cup qualifying, first round)...The big favorites today on the road:

Tampere Utd, -2.5, over 3.5...FT 2-1 (90th minute winner)
Dinamo Zagreb, -2, over 3...FT 1-1
Elfsborg, -1, over 2.5...FT 0-0

miserable fecking miserable and the more i read the match report i wanna cry....linfield play at home for a draw, now they'll travel and be stuffed..youd think youd go for the win... arghhh

The Swedish champions could have been at least two up at half-time but for superb saves from Alan Mannus.

Fredrik Berglund was guilty of a bad miss, shooting side from 10 yards.

Rangers should be rubbing their hands now

[bluemal]

if you had looked up the form of zeta last season they where unbeaten in their home games and hardly lost a goal at home , i am a rangers fan and will not be rubbing my hands at this result for zeta ,,

remember celtic when they played a so called dummy team artmidia bratislavia
humped 5 - 1 i do believe

[IrishTW]

5-0 bluemal, I thought you'd have gotten it right, one of the few highlights for Rangers fans of the last few years :P

Levadia is best Estonian team in the moment they are scoring goals for fun and they have best difence as i read somewhere they have 4-5 players that are playing for the national team and i think that they are going to get to the next stage .....
