    Bayer destroyed Lazio in every area of the park tonight. Just smashed them all over the place. Even at 3 x 0 up with five minutes left they were still pressing Lazio back into their own half.

    Just another example of the fall of Italy.

    Congratulations to Astana for qualifying, no doubt Kazakhstan football is on the rise.

    CSKA were fantastic tonight, FIFA legends Doumbia and Musa ran riot :smiley-laughing002:

    Aye, about 4 Kazakh teams have now made European Group Stage football in recent years, including for about 4 year in a row now.

    Yet 5 plus years ago they were seen as basically * teams who anyone should be pumping. Must be some money kicking about there now. Probably that * Borat advertising the country worldwide :smiley-laughing002:

    Astana were only founded in 2009 as well. You're right, must be some serious money being invested in their clubs now.

    They started being funded by local governments - state owned basically. Now they are backed by oil magnates.

    Jesus. Kairat Almity mob who beat Aberdeen. Owner worth $1.3bn aswell. Also investment from the president.

    I hope Astana don't run into United in the group stage. It could get messy for them. 1 possibly even 2 nil.

    Pot 4 has some amount of * in it.

    A lot of teams finishing with 0 or 1 point in this years groups I think.

    Real Madrid ironically enough are ranked number 1 in the coefficient's yet find themselves in pot 2 because of this new system, must be raging.
