Seriously. The fact is all these teams are pretty equal and with a bit luck everyone can make it to the group stage. Maybe Anderlecht and Celtic are a bit better, but these aren't unbeatable as well. Every year there are suprises in CL (Viktoria Plzen, Artmedia, Bate, Zylina etc), but it has never been Polish suprise, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for them and you can keep such smart theories for yourself, coz noone is intrested in it.

Don't get so offended big man, it's not like I hurled insults at your mother. I was simply stating my opinion (you know, that thing that everyone does on chat forums like this one), and your "expert" opinion is no better than mine. Go have a beer and relax.

I wouldn't want to my Partizan run into Slask in qualification for the CL

I simply don't like such attitude, like it would be the best, if they don't show anywhere to don't embarrass anyone or someting. They won the trophy, so now they have the chance, which should not be taken away at the very beginning. Although I have all these years of failure in mind, I will optimistically look forward in the future and support them, like I would support Wisła, Lech, Legia, Ruch or Korona, if they would win Polish League.

And we don't want to see Partizan on Śląsk way I believe Let's hope both teams advance to the group stage

Just to be clear, I am a supporter of Polish football, and I always watch the European games that Polish clubs play in. That being said, I wanted to see a better-suited club (like Wisla, Legia, or Lech) get a chance at the Champions League instead of Slask, who were quite lucky to progress past Dundee Utd. in the Europa League this year.

for that

You can see on this 2 links who may be your opponent in qualifications

If Bayern win: http://www.partizan.rs/wp-content/up...bajern_9_5.pdf

If Chelsea win:http://www.partizan.rs/wp-content/up...bcelzi_9_5.pdf

Your club starts from the 3. round as you probably know

I had exactly the same feeling about it, but because of Legia last 5 (which looked the best prepared for CL battle) games, I lost that feeling. They were like: 'eeehh we'll win this league finally so whatever'. Such table sequence has its pros imo. There is easier way to get to Europa League from CL qualifications, than from normal EL quali. So if potentially worse Śląsk (mostly because of lack of ranking pts) will beat 2 opponents (one seeded), they will be in EL group stage. Legia and Lech will be seeded almost in every stage of EL (Lech in each stage, Legia probably except last one) so in the end we can have maybe 2 teams in EL group again. Ruch is team of fighters, but I'm afraid they will drop out.

It would be nice, but Śląsk as well as Partizan starts from second round.

Yeah, I would be shocked if Ruch got to the group stage. Polish clubs need to continue to improve their year-to-year results in the CL and EL in order to move up in those UEFA league coefficients. I must say though, things are getting noticably better (quality of games, infrastructure), and I hope it continues. The Ekstraklasa is a sleeping giant IMO, and I think the league will make more noise in the near future.

You are right. I didnt see that right away.

What's wrong with flares? Look at some "stadium choreography" pictures and you will see that flares (smartly used) could make a great show on stands.

^Dw, North Americans couldn't produce an atmosphere to save their lives. Actually, to be fair their football fans are pretty good and getting a lot better, particularly Seattle, Portland, and Sporting KC.

Atmosphere is one thing, but you have to admit that many of the people that fire off flares at footy matches couldn't care less about other people's safety.

Hey guys, wrong thread for such discussions.
