Potential CFR opponents, Q1 (relatively easy):

• AEK Larnaca
• Häcken
• Paks
• Levski Sofia
• Sabah
• Ilves
• Aktobe
• Prishtina

Potential CFR opponents, Q2 (quite difficult):

• Winner of the tie involving Shakhtar Donetsk
• Braga
• Midtjylland
• Winner of the tie involving Legia Warsaw
• Anderlecht
• Winner of the tie involving Partizan
• Winner of the tie involving Sheriff Tiraspol
• Lugano

• Winner of the tie involving Sheriff Tiraspol

They will lose round 2, go to round 3 ECL.. make the play-off and depends on draw.

 

Potential FCSB opponents, Q2 (a couple more complicated):

• Rijeka
• Winner of the tie involving Žalgiris
• Pafos
• Winner of the tie involving RFS
• Winner of the tie involving Zrinjski Mostar
• Winner of the tie involving Lincoln Red Imps
• Winner of the tie involving KuPS
• Winner of the tie involving The New Saints
• Winner of the tie involving Drita
• Winner of the tie involving Breiðablik
• Winner of the tie involving Linfield
• Winner of the tie involving Budućnost

Getting past here seems to ensure EL groups. So I would say FCSB has a great chance to reach EL groups.

 

I thought they'd get Pafos later than Q2... isn't this for champions only? so it could be 1 of those in Q2, then another of that lot in Q3, and Play-off or?

 

FCSB vs Inter... d'Escaldes

Paks vs CFR

Q1 draws out.

Not bad overall.

 

In Q2...

Champions League

FCSB vs TNS (WAL) or Shkendija (MKD)


Europa League:

Lugano vs CFR Cluj (if CFR wins in Q1)


Conference League:

CFR Cluj vs Maribor (if CFR loses in EL Q1)

Ararat-Armenia vs U Cluj

FK Sarajevo vs U Craiova

 

Too many permutations for my retired mind. 🤖 So, I will take it one series at a time.

UEFA Champions League - Q1 round

July 9 (Bucharest)
FCSB - Inter Club d'Escaldes

July 16 (Andorra)
Inter Club d'Escaldes - FCSB

 

UEFA Conference League - Q2 round

July 24 (Armenia)
FC Ararat-Armenia - U Cluj

July 31 (Sibiu likely) <- As suggested by foresta below.
U Cluj - FC Ararat-Armenia

 

UEFA Conference League - Q2 round

July 24 (Armenia)
FC Ararat-Armenia - U Cluj

July 31 (Cluj-Napoca)
U Cluj - FC Ararat-Armenia

I believe U Cluj plays home games in Q2 (and Q3 if they make it) in Sibiu.

Also you forgot Poland Craiova

 

UEFA Europa League - Q1 round

July 10 (Hungary)
Paski FC - CFR Cluj

July 17 (Cluj-Napoca)
CFR - Paski FC

I will watch these matches if I can clearly see dates for them.

 

Big music festival on Cluj's stadium in August so they are taking over and preparing

 

Wednesday, July 9
FCSB v. Inter Club D'Escaldes 20:30 in Bucharest

Antena is carrying it.

 

14' Miculescu scores but he was offside.

 

35' and Inter are winning most duels. This FCSB cannot compete in CL.

 

If they score right after you complain, you should complain more often. 🤣

 

37' Miculescu, 1-0. This one was good; Tanase to Cisotti to Miculescu.

 

45+2' PK. Olaru scores it to make it 2-0.

 

53' Stefanescu hits in on a nice volley, 3-0.

 

65' Now 3-1. Tarnovanu saved a PK but then a few minutes later Ngezana slipped in the box just as a cross came in allowing Inter to score easily.

 

80' Oh oh, Inter score again, 3-2. VAR check. Offside, no goal, still 3-1.

 

And it ends 3-1. Off to Andorra.

FCSB is stacked with attacking talent. They will probably lead Liga I from start to finish and set a goal scoring record.

yeah, but we need to hope they stay healthy.

 

Today, UEFA Europa League qualifier: Paksi - CFR Cluj, 20:00 in Romania and on DigiSport 1.

 

A Very Hungarian Affair

 

That's the name of a certain movie. Just don't Google it at work.

 

3FR CLUJ attack with 3 players. They will not qualify for Europe playing like this. Maybe not even get past PAKIS

 

CFR midfield is non existent. This is tough to watch.

 

With your dire predictions, I expect CFR to score many goals in the second half!

But to be Frank today (instead of Teak), I am surprised by this Paksi squad. They were beaten by Corvinul Hunedoara last season 0-4 in Hungary.

 

Paks post. CFR hasn't adjusted at all, and this tactic is going to backfire if they don't begin to play proper football.

Regardless, they can't get through 3 rounds of qualifying against stronger teams by playing this way.

 

Georgevski guy sucks. Bad signing.

 

Yeah, he wasn't linking up very well with his teammates. Kamara is Mr. Offsides, BTW.

 

trade Sheriff to Liga 1 pls
