2010-2011 Champions League Official Thread

From Birkirkara's website...

Birkirkara FC had a training session today in the "Estadi Comunal d'Andorra la Vella". This is the ground to be used for tomorrow’s first leg encounter of the Champions League fixture. Much to the dissapointment of our Club, the pitch was found to be in a very bad state. The pitch is waterlogged mainly due to the heavy rain. The laying of carpet grass only a few hours before this training session, was another reason why the pitch is in this terrible shape.
Mr.John Borg, Birkirkara FC's Vice President and International Liason, has shown his dissaproval, in the name of our Club, with the UEFA delegate in a meeting convened on purpose to discuss this matter. To make matters worse, more rain is forecast for tomorrow afternoon. Also, the laying of the rolls of the new grass is not yet finalised, and will continue tomorrow.

Sounds like the pitch is in awful shape. I expect a nasty 1-0 win.

I'm going with UNDER 2.5 goals. 13.30 to win 10.00

This match was cancelled today...

Imgoinhungry · 06-29-10, 06:20 PM

Tre Fiori (San Marino) v Rudar Pljevlja (Montenegro)

I expect a pretty easy win for Rudar... being an American sucks for betting soccer though. I'd take them -1, but it isn't offered. Therefore, I gotta deal with the juice.

Rudar -400 Bet 40 to win 10

Why was the birkirkara game cancelled?

Imgoinhungry · 06-30-10, 11:38 AM

Pitch was in horrid condition from all the rain in Andorra.

Imgoinhungry · 06-30-10, 02:14 PM

Rudar up 2-0 at half.

Imgoinhungry · 06-30-10, 03:41 PM

Rudar wins 3-0.
+1 unit.

Imgoinhungry · 06-30-10, 03:54 PM

Plays for tomorrow's Europa League qualifiers:

1:30: Portadown (N. Ireland) v. Skonto Riga (Latvia): Skonto to win -133 (13.3 to win 10 )
3:15: Reykjavik (Iceland) v. Glentoran (N. Ireland): Reykjavik to win -167 (33.4 to 20)

Might be more to follow, probably not though.

what book are you using and your risking 13 units and 33 units on those games? Just watching your thread because I dont no anything about these teams lol

Imgoinhungry · 06-30-10, 04:40 PM

Should have made this clear in initial post... One unit for me is ten bucks.

So I'm risking 13.3 dollars to win 10 in the Skonto Riga game.

I don't know a heck of a lot about these teams either. Just researching them and making picks based on what I research.

Imgoinhungry · 06-30-10, 05:05 PM

11:00 Tobol Kostanay (Kazakhstan) v Zrinjski Mostar (Bosnia Herzogovena)
Tobol to win -152 (15.2 to win 10)

Imgoinhungry · 06-30-10, 05:15 PM

2:05 Llanelli Afc(Wales) v FK Tauras (Lithuania)

UNDER 2.5 goals -139 (Risk 13.9 to win 10)

That's it for me for the first day of Europa Qualifying!

suckerforparlays · 06-30-10, 05:22 PM

ah ok

beefcake · 06-30-10, 10:47 PM

hey hungry,how bout playing all the home dogs,since these are home and away matches,would mkae sense to cover the board since at all costs these teams need a result at home since on the road they are toast?

Runavik
Portadown
Grevenmacher
UE Santa Coloma
KF Tirana
Trans Narva

See any huge away dogs that could surprise?

suckerforparlays · 06-30-10, 10:53 PM

where are these teams even from lol

suckerforparlays · 06-30-10, 10:53 PM

is this like the USL of Europe?

beefcake · 06-30-10, 10:56 PM

Their all teams from second tier europa leagues that won their league last season,therefore are eligible to qualify for the Champions League to have the honor of getting killed by the big boy teams from spain,england,italy...etc...

ahhhh ok thanks for clarifying

Imgoinhungry · 06-30-10, 11:04 PM

Beefcake... didn't really look at it like that. I think the teams will play all out so they can advance and the better team wins regardless.

As far as dogs I like Trans Narva. Also, take a look at Fylkir (Ireland). The team they are playing are sucking it up in their domestic league. Flykir has been decent. Maybe try to take them +1 if you can find it.

That being said, my only plays are those I posted earlier.
