Standard pretty much destroying their season with 2 draws against the weaker teams of the pool. Now just one point ahead of Brugge.
4 games without a win and 3 draws in a row. Standard will be lucky to come second, but most likely will end up somewhere between (and including) 2nd and 4th position in my opinion. I hope Kawashima moves to the Bundesliga, Premier league, Serie A or Primera League
Kawashima is better than half the goalkeepers in Premier League and was rated 5th best keeper in wc2010. I think kawashima is so under rated. I dont understand why managers in the top 4 leagues have a nazi minded way of thinking regarding asian goalkeepers .
Well, cuz there's not a good tradition about japanese gks. Even brazilian gks in the past was underrated and now they are overvalued Oh and there's that jinxy story of Kawaguchi at Portsmouth...
one word: pathetic what a pathetic team. they lead right till almost the very end then completely ruin their season
a team like standard isnt even europa league quality. which we saw at the start of the season, when they lost in the europa league qualifer playoffs to Dynamo Minsk of belarus. kawashima deserves better. he should be playing in the top 4 european leagues. For his progress. He should and MUST move to a better league. The question is....do any teams from the top 4 leagues want him?
Nah, what's pathetic is the belgian system. They shouldn't even have started these "playoffs" with those points, so... yeah they sucked recently but it's still a stupid system. They never lost to Dynamo Minsk, so I have no idea what you're tealking about.
I got confused, they entered the group stage and came out with 1 point, lost every game, and draw 1. When you cant get out a group that has Red Bull Salzburg (poland), Elfsborg (sweden) and Esbjerg (denmark) -no name teams + easiest group. Then you suck hard
They did suck, but it happens. United got out against Basel years ago, it happens. They also often played second string players, especially since they were mathematically out.
Suddenly they are back in the race for Champions league place 4 players sent off in match: http://uk.soccerway.com/matches/201...liege/sv-zulte-waregem/1661620/?ICID=PL_MS_08 Including standard captain. Next game will be hard without captain
They're 1st with a point-advantage on Anderlecht e Club Brugge. Three games to the end: anyway, Belgian League's system needs a review.

I have no idea what you have posted but my bad, I see that Brugge played that match yesterday evening, losing to Anderlecht. Good!
if they win next against 3 bottom team clubs, they get champions league spot. brugge only difficult one
They aren't crap, they are the uncrowned league's champion. They are just too fatigued because of the hard work they've done throughout the season, and now they're facing the probability of losing the championship due to this shitty system.
Won tonight with 3-1 on Lokeren's field. Still two points from Anderlecht. I think the championship is gone.
In the last game of the season, Kawashima was voted man of the match at Standard Liège official website.
