2-0 Rodriguez. That should do it.

The refs do everything to bring Lille back in the game, though.

Laughable second yellow for Guilavogui and a laughable penalty, too, but ball dont lie.

We are pretty poor. Couldn't even get a draw to finish top of the group.

At least now we can draw against AVB's Zenit and lose to them in the next round. :lol:

Liverpool - Gladbach would be epic.

1977.

If by epic you mean another epic defeat of Celtic Glasgow, you are probably right. :roll:

I wouldn't mind that later on.

Also, it's not just 1977, but also 1973 as we lost that Europa Cup final as well to them.

I meant the Legia players being super motivated to destroy Celtic.
Though, their fans are banned for another home game which makes for a strange "atmosphere".

They don't even have to be super motivated. Legia is pretty good these days while Celtic is rather horrid.

If im not mistanken there's a strong friendship between Liverpool and Gladbach.

They have a whole corner dedicated to Liverpool in their official Fanhaus. In their stadium there is a corporate hospitality lounge called the 'Liverpool FC Suite'.

Kinda like HSV and Rangers.

I cant believe i agree with you.
This is the best Besiktas team in a long time. They have heart and great fans. Can make some noise!

Besiktas? Highly overrated team.

Bilic is a great coach, though, which is why they play well.

Well, Celtic desperatly needs Rangers back in their league to have at least some sort of competition.
The team's gotten worse each year after that surpris run to the knockout stages of the CL a couple years ago.

There's a fan friendship between the two clubs as Gladbach fans were one of the first to donate money to the victims of Hillsborough. On top of it, the fans respected each other thanks to their battles during international competitions in the 1970's.

Right now fans visit each other every season with Liverpool even playing "Die Elf vom Niederrhein" during that visit at Anfield and Liverpool fans coming over for one game every season as well.

As long as they're able to get the lights going, they might make some noise.
Though, coming from you that might be their death blow...

BTW: Could you tell me something about Veli Kavlak besides him looking like "Räuber Hotzenplotz" thanks to his facial hair.
I've seen him play about twice so far(for Austria) and Gladbach's said to be interested as we need a replacement for Kramer.

I hope Fiorentina can make a deep run.

Veli has high motor, loves the game, play hard, good long shot. Can do everything at least on an avg level. You can put him almost everywhere on the field, to be honest i dont even really know his true position. I like him.

I agree most of the comment above. However, he has 0 accuracy for long shot. I mean he can take 10 and only 1 would score. Other 9 might go out of the stadium.

He also has 0 football iq.

Except these, he is like makalele type.

i agree me too, it's a pleasure to see how football sometimes can unite people

As a Beşiktaş fan:

Veli arrived here as a left winger/attacking midfielder. For some reason we have turned him into a defensive midfielder and he's been playing really well(for the standards of the Turkish League) in the last 2 seasons. I don't want to let him go, but his contract is expiring at the end of the season and for some reason there are no reports of him hinting at an extension, so:

+ Great stamina and work ethic, will never stop running
+ Good defense
+ Above average passing, can give some great through balls sometimes
+ Long shots are not bad but inconsistent(He has incredible goals from 20+ metres in his days at Rapid Wien)

- Prone to mistakes
- Tendency for persistent fouling
- Not the most athletically gifted player
