    Hard not to pull for a team named "Lincoln Red Imps". They actually have a wiki page according to which the team is semi-professional.

    Semi-professional and playing in the first round of the CL? There's hope for all of us.

    Really hope Molde can make it to the CL group stage as Ethan Horvath is their starting keeper.

    Haven't seen anything if Fox will be broadcasting any games this round.

    and scores on a volley a minute later

    I would love to see that. I also know it would be better for the league to have them do better. I'd settle for getting to group stage, finishing 3rd then advancing far into Europa but not winning

    Oh hush. Picture him scoring at OT in the final minute to put Fenerbache through. He'd probably strip down naked and run straight for LvG to stick his dick in his ear.

    So is Molde :(

    APOEL through with a 2-2 agg win despite losing 1-0 at home
    Molde tied 3-3 at home and lost 4-4 on agg to Dinamo Zagreb
    Ajax lost 3-2 at home and lost 5-4 on agg to Rapid Vienna
    Monaco up 4-0 at home and 7-1 on agg to Young Boys

    Ajax losing means Sporting moves up to a seeded position.

    11 matches today, Astana beat HJK 4-3 to advance. Celtic has a 1-0 lead playing away at Qarabag which starts in ~20 mins. There are a good amount of tied and 1 goal differential matches today, so it should be interesting.
