Video: Bohemian 5-1 Rhyl

By: Ian Rose | Comments 4 Comments

The Intertoto Cup has begun, which means that the long hard off-season of European club football (aka late May-Early June) is finally over. And to welcome you back to the UEFA Cup Offside, here’s a less than welcoming performance from Ireland’s Bohemians, who hosted Rhyl of Wales in the first round of the Intertoto [...]

Hey, we’re starting too … oh, nobody cares …

As the first Champions League matches await, the world is once again focused on the big teams and their quest for the nearly endless pot of money that is the modern European Cup. But, hey, look, what’s that over there? In the shadows, behind the dumpster, back that alley? It’s the UEFA [...]

In fact, between the three major UEFA tournaments (Intertoto, UEFA Cup and Champions League), there have already been 208 matches played [...]

Hammarby are lone first-round Intertoto survivors

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

Last season, two first-round Intertoto teams made it all the way through that tournament and into the UEFA Cup: Ethnikos of Cyprus and Maribor of Slovenia. This year, neither of these made it past the second round, and there is only one hero of the minnows this season, Hammarby of Sweden. Although the [...]

Today’s video lesson: Don’t clear into the box

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

Video from Atletico Madrid 1-0 Gloria Bistrita yesterday. It was a nice attack and cross, and all credit to Diego Forlan for the finish, but to be fair, the ball should have been well handled. After all, two defenders got feet on it. This was a rare mistake from a Gloria team [...]

End of the road for Gloria. Madrid barely survives.

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

Well, as Meat Loaf would have said if he was slightly less optimistic, three out of five ain’t bad. I called all the easy ones in today’s Intertoto matches – I just mixed up my Romanian sides. I blame the weeks of constant copying and pasting of the letter “Å£”. Anyway, I [...]

Partizan out of UC … what’s next?

By: Ian Rose | Comments 4 Comments

Another week, another European ejection for fan violence. All we need now is one from the Champions League and we’ll have the UEFA Trifecta of Shame, a feat not accomplished in modern football history. Sigh … let’s get down to the details.
I predicted … let me look … “a former Yugo derby that [...]

Video: Atletico Madrid falls to Gloria Bistriţa

By: Ian Rose | Comments No Comments

All the goals from the shock of the weekend – Atletico Madrid’s 2-1 loss to Romanian side Gloria Bistrita in the third round of the Intertoto Cup. Gloria has been well-named thus far in the tournament, only making the tournament at all because of the spot made available by Scotland’s withdrawal (Damn you, Elton!). [...]
