Klaksvik? Not quite CL group stages yet... 

 

Regardless they'd be in the Europa group stages though, no? I think that was the OP's point!

There's another qualifying round to go where they play Molde. 

 

Genk are out though losing to Servette which is a bit of a surprise. Rangers play them next. 

They've secured EL group stage.

Incredible that they beat Ferencvaros and now Häcken.

Then again, they're well on their way to a perfect domestic league season with 16 wins out of 16.

Ahh yeah didn't realise they drop into that group stage if they lose! 

 

Good luck to them!

And there is a play off round after that apparently.

 

But still a great achievement.

I believe they've secured Conference League group stage. They will still need to win one more round to secure Europa League, and two more rounds to secure Champions League.

 

Raków Częstochowa, the current Polish champions, also secured a first-ever appearance in European competition with their win over Qarabag.

Didn't they just get promoted to the Ekstraklasa a few seasons ago? Very impressive!

Yes. They're often referred to as "The Polish Leicester"; but while they obviously play in a weaker league, the scale of their rise has arguably been more impressive. 

 

When we won the league they were playing in the third tier. Their coach, Marek Papszun took charge in 2016, and led them up through the leagues.

 

As well as the title last year, they also won the previous two editions of the Polish Cup and Supercup, before relinquishing both of those to Legia. 

 

Papszun left his position in the summer, and now his assistant Dawid Szwarga has taken over the reins.

Surprised he has done it while he still has so much left in the tank but this to Miami is looking great for the MLS. He looks like an alien compared to the rest of the league and there must be plenty of fans coming through the gates for a chance to see the real Messi (and not a shell like some of the others who have gone over) who wouldn't normally go to watch football. If this doesn't work to boost the MLS nothing will. 

 

Saudi are offering huge money but I'd much rather become a star in Miami than live in some Saudi compound no matter how luxurious.

Last nights Dallas/Miami game sold out in around 20 minutes - they even sold standing room only tickets.  

Funny thing to me was seeing so many fans wearing Miami jerseys in the season tickets section - yup, they weren’t bandwagon fans at all :)

 

Most likely will be like that everywhere Miami goes.

DAZN bought the rights to broadcast Saudi Pro League to the UK.

 

Will anyone actually watch this? I mainly watch Leicester and barely watch football outside of this.

Klaksvik beat Molde 2-1 in their first leg. 

It's getting a bit silly and unreal now. Unbeaten in 5 games against the Hungarian, Swedish and Norwegian champions...

And the player who can't stop scoring bangers, Árni Frederiksberg, works full time importing frozen pizzas and football is only his part time gig!

Looking increasingly unlikely that San Siro will demolished. The second ring ie. the second tier has just been given some historical protection as it's over 70 years old.
