    Standard are up against it, as they drew at home 2 - 2 in the first leg against a pretty good Steaua side. They'll more than likely need 2 goals in this leg.

    Group draw is tommorow

    SEEMS LIKE Standard is up by one

    a Steaua player missed with the open net

    btw--First leg was 2-2, so Standard is ahead 2-3 on aggregate.

    They just had one or two chances denied.

    12' Enorme occasion à nouveau pour le Standard: Sa Pinto sert Jovanovic. Seul face à Carlos Aberto, il voit son tir repoussé par le gardien sorti à sa rencontre. Sa Pinto enchaîne et reprend de la tête dans la foulée mais le gardien roumain détourne au prix d'un retour in extremis.

    they need another. 1 goal against a desperate side isn't enough and they lose 1 - 1!

    About 33" in. Standard's backline praised again by the text comm. Kiss of death?

    Kiss of death, indeed. Looks like it was a bad bounce or something...

    Le Steaua égalise par l'intermédiaire de Badea: ce dernier trompe Renard d'un tir à ras de terre.

    3-3, Steaua would advance on away goals.

    its hard to score on the road, and because its so hard, if u took away goals away, teams would play defensive...

    Standard jus needs one more goal, if they can score then they will be even on away goals...

    I never understood the reason why the whole away goals rule exists. I mean, what if you give up an own goal at home...should it really count double for the other team? bah.

    That's just the way it is...

    You prefer penalty kicks and more defensive soccer?

    Standard keeps attacking, playing well, pushing forward

    they need to be careful, Steaua is pretty good on quick counter attacks

    I'm listening to Steaua's audio. I wonder how much Romanian I'll learn in the next hour?

    Although it could be in Portuguese for all I can tell. But I believe the Romanian word for corner may be "corner".
