    The World Cup has reignited my passions for football in general. Want to pay much more attention to the prem and champs league this season now. With a special eye on how England squad members and potential squad members are getting on

    Im in The exact same position, having cared about little other than Charlton for the last year few years.

    Final is at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid next year. I was there for a visit yesterday and it is a stunning stadium.

    Rosenborg coach Kare Ingebrigtsen has been sacked six days before the Norwegian club face Celtic in the Champions League.

    The 52-year-old has been dismissed the day after his side scored a stoppage-time penalty to earn a 3-2 aggregate win over Icelandic champions Valur.

    That set up a second qualifying round meeting with the Scottish champions.

    Rosenborg are two points behind leaders Brann in the Norwegian top flight, and have won nine of their last 13 games.

    Ingebrigtsen took over in the summer of 2014, initially on an interim basis, and has won three successive league titles as well as lifting the Norwegian Cup twice.


    Seems a bit harsh.



    Celtic 1-0 down at home to Rosenborg after 15 minutes
  • Play off round is as follows with the 6 winners going into the group stages.

    Red Star Belgrade v Red Bull Salzburg
    BATE Borisov v PSV Eindhoven
    Young Boys v Dinamo Zagreb
    MOL Vidi v AEK Athens
    Benfica v PAOK
    Ajax v Dynamo Kiev

    Well done Benfica, qualifying for the group stage means they've pushed the Bin Dippers into pot 3 which should give them a tougher draw after their gimme group last year.
  • Hoping one of the English teams gets one of the Madrid teams but what has been interesting over the years I have been here has been the different security measures put in place by the city for the different visiting fans. For most it is pretty normal but the city went on lockdown for Liverpool's last visit!

    Hoping for a cheeky euro trip this year to see our pot 1 opponents so hoping its anyone but Lokomotiv Moscow (too far and too much hassle with visas) and Real Madrid (as went there a few years back when Crouch was sent off)

    Technically they play at the 'Stade de Suisse' which is on the site of the old 'Wankdorf Stadium' which was demolished in 2001.

    But when it comes to a wankdorf joke why should a technicality stop anyone from knocking one out?
