They've won all their knockout phase games by more than 2.
That Quarabag game is very odd.

That Quarabag game is very odd.
Quarabag were hopeless
In a nutshell we're doomedI watched the first half and Lazio were terrible. They had the look of a team who thought they only needed to turn up to win. We've all seen that before and I hope we will take them a lot more seriously. Below are some quotes from that game. We also move the ball relatively quickly, so it shouldnt be an issue in that regard.
A tiny ground in the Arctic Circle with a plastic pitch: Is this really a recipe for calamity for Spurs?
It may not be as cold in northern Norway as some might expect, but getting to grips with the playing surface may still be a challengewww.nytimes.com
”They have an advantage on us, and we have an advantage on them. I think it’s evened out. But of course, playing here at home is a big advantage for us because I don’t think a lot of teams are prepared for what’s coming. We have managed to do this in a successful way. The ball goes really fast here, and that’s a key object for us.“
According to Bjortuft, the key difference on artificial turf is how quickly the ball moves along the ground. Lazio head coach Marco Baroni highlighted this in the previous round, describing the “speed in their exchanges because of the artificial pitch” as a key component to Glimt’s dominance in Norway. For a side that likes to play in their opponent’s half and craft opportunities through slick combination passages, the pace of the pitch adds an effective zip to their attacking play.
“The ball goes really fast when you play passes and it’s more difficult for defenders reaching attackers and getting contact with us,” says Bjortuft. “That’s what we benefit from in these games. Of course, it’s a big difference between artificial and grass in many ways but the main key is that the ball goes so fast. It may be harder to turn and everything for players that are not used to it.”
I see a comfortable night ahead. 2-0 to us as we will not go after them and I can see us catching them on the counter. . They had zero quality in the final 3rd last week.
We win Euro semis. It’s who we are

It felt to me like last week they were happy to lose the game but be within touching distance coming back home. Which, thanks to a daft goal, they are.I see a comfortable night ahead. 2-0 to us as we will not go after them and I can see us catching them on the counter. .

They're gonna race out of the blocks IMO and have the advantage of the pitch. We cannot let them score early, even a first half goal will turn this game into an absolute shit show.
After extra time with Vicario scoring the winning penalty!
In off his back to send them through you mean?
I want the ultimate-hyper ideal Italian game:
Bodo/Glimt -1 - -1 Tottenham Hotspur
0 - 2 on Aggregate.
it does
You probably qualify for a semi final losers medal and an open top tricicle parade past the immigrants stadium to celebrate
yeah - Rafa's past his best now
Tottenham will win this semi final and will win the cup!
If Frankfurt also win the next match in the bundesliga, we can see us again in the CL.
Oh what a night...watching Tottenham on wednesday night
Let's go! COYS!!!!

yep being woken up for 10 minutes before going back to sleep is going to make all the difference
Very clinical Bod in final third. So homework needs to be done by Ange being super intensive in concentration in defence. Remember when chelsea beat liverpool 2 nil at anfield when gerrard slipped on his arse. Chelsea imo were phenomenal in defence that day. We have to have that mindset..do not concede at any cost.
Hope we set fireworks off outside ground straight after we go through. An eye for an eye as they say.
Must admit did have an aspiration to live in norway one day as seemed a peaceful and chilled out country. Looking at chris cowlin video last night the weather would do my head in particularly in May and being cold.
You mean we should keep more than two outfielder players in our half at anytime????
Probably the liveliest event of their history doing that. Looks a dull place. Somewhere like a chess tournament is one of their biggest events of the year.
Just get through the first 10 minutes without conceding please.
Actually, the whole game would be nice.
