Eco Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Frankfurt are on an absolute roll at the moment. Wouldn't be surprised to see them win this 1-0 or 2-1.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 11, 2019 Subscriber Posted April 11, 2019 The Europa League is actually better than the Champions League from this stage onwards. You might not get Messi and Ronaldo on show but at least you don't have to get let down by the same borefests between the same risk averse 'giants' every season. Just good matches between evenly matched sides who don't play each other every other season.
Eco Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 What a terrible start for Frankfurt. N'Dicka gets a red in 20', and Felix slots home the PK to be Benfica up 1-0 and up a man.
Administrator Stan Posted April 11, 2019 Author Administrator Posted April 11, 2019 Joao Felix impressing once again. Class talent.
Machado Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 We got lucky that Frankfurt player seems slightly off side. If he's not, maybe the ref considered that some of the other players who are off side blocked the keeper's view. Still embarrassing to almost concede two goals against 10 men... It's hard to trust this team even if we win by 3 or 4 goals today. Frankfurt are good and will be better at home.

The goal is nothing special but it is a breath of fresh air to see how he dared to take that shot... he has that good "arrogance" to try those, and many times it works for him.
Machado Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Felix tearing up after scoring his third... Three goals and one assist for him then. This fucking kid...
Moderator Tommy Posted April 11, 2019 Moderator Posted April 11, 2019 GOAL Frankfurt! Unbelievable team this. Impossible not to cheer for them. 4:2 away would still be a good result for the 2nd leg, considering the circumstances.
Machado Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 4-2 is not a great result at all. It's only slightly better than 1-0. It's really a bad result considering we were one man up most of the time. Expect another goal fest in the 2nd leg... I think this game showcases the quality gap between both leagues. We're used to play against shit teams that don't dare to create chances when down to 10 men We might be the slightly better side individually but Frankfurt are on another level when it comes to game intensity thanks to playing in the Bundesliga.
Administrator Stan Posted April 11, 2019 Author Administrator Posted April 11, 2019 So much confidence for a young lad. Love it.

I was gonna start a thread about whether it had improved since a champions League place was given to the winner.

It's a shame really. Portugal does have a good history in Europein competition. They have produced two teams that have won the Europein cup which is as many as spain have.

Just because English clubs aren't shit in it now doesn't mean it's suddenly an improved tournament.
