    Very nice showing this season. The promised land of the Europa League group stages was really close.

    12 October 18:00 Monday Austria Liechtenstein
    9 October 20:45 Friday Moldova Russia

    Two losses this month, but Moldova also lost twice so they hold on the 5th. Chances for wins for either team are pretty remote.

    Montenegro 2-0 Liechtenstein
    Austria 1-0 Moldova

    Heading back to Switzerland next month. I'm thinking about going to see the Liechtenstein-Sweden match, but I'm not sure if it's worth it since Liechtenstein has nothing to play for.

    Oy, that's rough. I could see them pulling off a victory over Macedonia at home, but I think we'll see about 5 points from those 10 matches.

    What happened with that whole Nations League thing? I thought that was going to start soon. I was hoping Liechtenstein would face off against more equal competition.

    Liechtenstein kept it close, losing by two goals to Sweden. Moldova's loss means Liechtenstein holds onto 5th place. Chances for wins for either team on Monday are pretty remote.

    Really good campaign from die Blaurot. Got a big win against Moldova and then held them to a draw, and an even more surprising draw to Montenegro. This is only the second time in their history that they have not finished last in their qualifying group. Their World Cup qualifying group is really tough, and they will need to do well in order to gain any points.

    Hopp Liechtenstein!!

    I remember a few years ago when Vaduz did not win the Cup. That was a surprise. If they were to loose to Schaan and get relegated from the RSL in the same season, that might be the worst season in the history of the club!

    That was 2012 when they lost to Eschen/Mauren. The form just isn't there for Vaduz right now, but they should at least be able to beat Schaan for Cup 44.

    Vaduz vs Schaan

    Vaduz going for their world record 44th Cup victory. Schaan, currently playing in the 7th tier of the Swiss football pyramid, is playing in their first final since 1994, when they defeated FC Balzers 3-0 to win their 3rd title.

    Winner goes to the first round of the UEFA Europa League.

    Vaduz barely squeaks by Schaan 11-0 to win their world record 44th Lichtenstein Cup. It was the largest margin of victory in the 71-year-history of the Liechtenstein Cup., besting the previous record by 2 goals. Vaduz will enter the Europa League First Qualifying Round in July 2016.

    Good to see that they brought their A game so that they could emerge victorious.

    Vaduz finished 8th in the Swiss Super League to barely stay up for another year! :)

    I wouldn't say they barely stayed up. 8th place is an incredible finish for this team. They finished 6th in second half points above FCSG, Lugano, and FCZ. They earned their right to stay up by winning three and drawing one of their last 6 matches, never really looking outmatched in any of them.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing who they bring in over the summer. They'll get a mini break before Europa League begins again. After last year's run to the third round (and only going out on stupid away goals), I'm hoping they can build on that.

    Vaduz added another piece. Gonzalo Zarate joins after being released by Thun. Suffice to say, after he put up good numbers playing for GCZ, his scoring touch has almost disappeared. In his last three seasons, he's scored 5, 2, and 0 goals respectively. Maybe he can find some magic with Vaduz who will need help scoring goals with Sadiku going back to FCZ.

    He's the third signing so far. He joins 18-year-old Maximilian Goppel, formerly of FC Balzers, and 28-year-old Marco Mathys, who is joining from rivals St. Gallen.

    Vaduz also have 6 players on loan who will be going back: Gulen (GCZ), Fekete (YB), Costanzo (YB), Untersee (Juventus), Sadiku (FCZ), Caballero (Porto). Only players I could see staying are Untersee and Caballero. I'm not sure if they're willing to buy Costanzo. They're a little thin in the center of defense. I'd like to see them try to get Gulen again for a full season on loan.

    Sandro Wieser was released from Thun, as well. I'd love to see him return home and help anchor this midfield.

    Here is the roster for the friendly against Iceland on Monday

    GK Peter Jehle
    GK Cengiz Biçer
    GK Benjamin Büchel
    GK Thomas Hobi

    DF Daniel Kaufmann
    DF Martin Rechsteiner
    DF Seyhan Yildiz
    DF Daniel Brändle
    DF Mathias Sele
    DF Pascal Foser
    DF Maximilian Göppel
    DF Andreas Malin

    MF Martin Büchel
    MF Michele Polverino
    MF Nicolas Hasler
    MF Sandro Wieser
    MF Robin Gubser
    MF Sandro Wolfinger
    MF Luca Ritter
    MF Aron Sele

    FW Dennis Salanović
    FW Niklas Kieber
    FW Marcel Büchel
    FW Philipp Ospelt
    FW Armando Heeb
    FW Fabio Wolfinger

    Hobi, Foser, Goppel, Malin, Ritter, Sele, and Wolfinger would be making their senior team debuts if they were to enter the match at some point.

    This is a fairly young lineup being put out there by Pauritsch. Only 6 players are 27 or older. Good opportunity to blood some of the younger guys to see what they have.

    HOPP LIECHTENSTEIN!!

    Vaduz
    has drawn FK Sileks of Macedonia. FK Sileks finished 3rd in the Macedonian First League. Vaduz will host the first leg on 30 June, while Sileks will host the second leg on 7 July.

    If Vaduz can get past Sileks, they'll face the winner of FC Midtjylland from Denmark and FK Suduva from Lithuania. The first leg would be on 14 July; Vaduz would host the second game on 21 July.

    Hopp Vaduz!!

    Vaduz with a convincing 3-0 win over FK Sileks from Macedonia in their Europa League First Qualifying Round match, which was also their first match of the year. Moreno Costanzo scored a pair while Simone Grippo added a third in stoppage time. If they win, they will take on the winner of Midtjylland and Suduva. Midtjylland won the first match in Denmark 1-0.

    HOPP VADUZ!!

    Close, according to uefa, Vaduz won 3-1. Mickov scored in the 86th minute for Sileks.

    Hopefully an away goal is not enough to eliminate Vaduz.

    Great result. 3-0 would have been better, but still they are in the better position.
