Decent result for Zlin on the road in Finland. That one away goal could prove vital.

Surprising to see Ballymena United FC hold a Danish club to a 0-0 draw on the road.

Do you know if there was ever an official announcement or explanation given for Italy not participating this year? There had originally been one slot reserved for an Italian team, but I believe it was turned over to a fourth team from Germany. I know that the top two eligible Italian (Sampdoria and Chievo) teams had turned it down, but there was still some hope for Lecce to accept it. Obviously, they did not, but I'm wondering if the Italian federation formally backed out at that point, or if they just missed the deadline for nominating a team or what. Anyway, whatever insight you have is appreciated.

[Canadian_Supporter]

Sue, I found this on rsssf.com (author Karel Stokkermans)...

The Italian team was supposed to enter the competition in the third round (I believe).

"as Italy did not name a representative due to unclarities surrounding
licenses for 2004/05, Germany obtained an additional spot which went
to VfL Wolfsburg (other German teams moving up in the participants
list)"

Ah, I see, the old "unclarities surrounding licenses" snafu. :D Thanks for looking into it. I'm guessing Perugia's eventual relegation this season after their success in the InterToto Cup may have caused Italian teams to shy away from it. It's safe to say that "nothing ventured, nothing gained" is not a philosophy favored by most Italian teams (and the national team). Anyway, I'm disappointed. It would've been fun to see how a little club like Lecce could do.

I would have to say Cork City beating Malmo in both games is a surprise. Good to see both Czech clubs advance to the next round, but they were close ties.

The second round begins this weekend.

sorry now bud but's whats the big deal with all the cork city results,i know the lad's were under dog's in all three games so far,but eircom league teams have pulled off quite a few upsets in their time........
most irish teams are known for their determination to grid out results.

oh well at least someone still cares about the intertoto cup,lol :D

[JimmieLivealot]

Wasn't that suprised to see Cork go over the Swedes but taking down a pretty good Dutch team would definetly be something to brag about. And how about the Bundesliga side droping?

Well, NEC isn't that good. They only finished 14th last season and only have been training for about 2 weeks now.

A few of the 'smaller' clubs have also made it to the third round to make things even more interesting. Can Cork City continue their surprising play against Nantes? Will Skopje be able to shock Schalke?
