Champions League Results? Anyone here the results of today's games? I haven't been able to find a site with scores.
Unfortunately, for us fans here in the US, we will have to wait two more months before ESPN starts showing us anything from the CL. Two more long months ...
Because there will be nothing worth watching for 2 months. The big teams start qualifying from mid august.
FT Torpedo Kutaisi (Geo) 5 - 2 Torshavn (Far) FT Skonto Riga (Lat) 5 - 0 Barry Town (Wal) FT Tampere United (Fin) 0 - 4 Pyunik Yerevan (Arm) FT Kaunas (Lit) 2 - 3 Dinamo Tirana (Alb) FT Hibernians Paola (Mal) 2 - 2 Shelbourne (Ire) FT Sheriff Tiraspol (Mol) 2 - 1 Zhenis Astana (Kaz) FT Dudelange (Lux) 1 - 1 Vardar Skopje (Mac) FT Zeljeznicar S. (Bos) 3 - 0 Akranes (Ice) FT Flora Tallinn (Est) 0 - 0 Apoel Nicosia (Cyp) FT Portadown (N.Ire) 0 - 0 Belsh. Bobruisk (Blr)
In general I think people aren't interested in this because these teams will be out before the actual beginning of the tournament.
None of this is being shown in Europe, so Americans aren't missing anything. Countries are only showing there own teams games, E.G Man utd, Newcastle and Celtic will be shown on UK TV, but not on the Champions League channel ITV. The Man U game might even only be on MUTV. Eurosport will probably show the last round games which will involve the good teams, but the other rounds will get about 10 mins.
The inter-toto cup is a farce how ca n a team draw 4-4 and then go out of a competition? i am talking about the game between Newcastle united and toyes last year which ended 4-4 and was probebly pone of the greatest games i have ever been to. it was great except for stupid away goal rule and made the 8 matches we played from july to mid august a waste of time. inter toto cup is a micky mouse cup and should only be enterd by those that dont give a ***************
My original post wasn't a serious question. But why do you complain now.Plenty of the toon army were singin the praizes of the Inter-toto all tru the summer last year. As for the away goal rule it's been around since the inception of European two leg ties. And it was Troyes if i remember right.
at 5 pm today fulham take on one of europes mightiest teams Egaleo FC i have not had time to find out were these giants of the world game come from but it will be a team from one of Europes most prestige nations such as FYR Macidonia or Estonia. get a grip Uefa your'e complaining about to many games well get rid of this micky mouse tounament and just give automatic entry to the teams in these countries
Champions League qualifying is not owned by ESPN, thus many other networks can show the games. These are networks showing CL qualifying in the past: - RTPi for Portugese teams, - RAI for Italian teams - FSW for Scottish teams - Turkish paid channels DFHs for Turkish teams - some on PPV
why do u care so much in the states about watching these rounds i think the show western union world football in fox sports shows results.
You guys make it sound like these matches are worthless and none of the teams has a hope of advancing... But Maribor made it a few years back, Red Star Belgrade made it through the qualifiers, Dynamo Zagreb made it. And the Scottish teams have to go through there all the time. As for the away goals rule, it applies in the Champions' League, so that must be worthless as well, right?
<i>You guys make it sound like these matches are worthless and none of the teams has a hope of advancing</i> Wasn't it Marseilles (sp?) that went on to win the UEFA cup in the late 90's after coming through the Inter-Toto?
