But England has still two teams left: United and the Wolves.

Copenhagen eliminated Celtic, quite a big upset - and good for danish football for the coefficient points.

Upset?
It was an upset that both Rangers and Celtic came out of their groups.

Yes, clear upset. Copenhagen have been shite in the danish league this season - and Rangers absolutely killed FC Midtjylland in the playoff for the group stage, FCM who are the clear leaders in the danish league and have performed much better than Copenhagen.

A quick look at the odds:

1st game in Copenhagen: FCK; 3.75-3.90 - Celtic; 2.10-2.16
2nd game in Glasgow: Celtic; 1.36-1.42 - FCK; 8.00-9.00

Odds in the UK probably (?) because in Belgium the odds prior to the first match were pretty even.

Scottish teams have been overrated for many years. Copenhagen may not be that good but they could win the Scottish Prem.

Copenhagen were in the CL as recently as Leicester. ;-)

Copenhagen usually does fairly well in Europe. At some of their better season last decade, they might have had a chance in the Scottish Premiership, but the way they are playing this year - no f'ing way. :wink:

Watching the two games vs Celtic and FC Midtjyllands two games vs Rangers, the two big scottish teams are better than the two best danish team. Rangers outplayed FCM in both legs and FCK were under pressure for most of the 180 minutes. They dominated the 2nd half at home, but Celtic dominated the other 3 halfs. FCK just have something in Europe and finds a way to get the results, even as the worse team. Position for position, i don't think you would take many of the players from FCM or FCK over the players from Celtic or Rangers.

Last matchup is now complete:
Eintracht Frankfurt vs. FC Basel.

The scottish police in the Celtic v Copenhagen are some d'ckheads btw. Maybe some Celtic ultras dressed as policemen, let the players celebrate with their fans ffs.

Read on Twitter

- the policeman 'attacked' Biel as he tried to celebrate with the fans - then Santos made the tackle of the year on that same policeman. Karma. Now Santos and an FCK-steward charged with 'alleged assault' or whatever. Sit down.

Waiting for the first case in Germany so we don't get relegated. :lol:

Still not clear if we are actually playing tonight. But it looks like the UEFA is set to announce that the competitions are suspended with immediate effect.

HIF · Post #36 » by **HIF** » Thu Mar 12, 2020 4:45 pm

Suspending all football makes sense. Cancel the euros and then play out the national and international competitions in the summer.
