HJK (Finland)
Qarabag (Azerbaijan)
Rijeka (Croatia) yes this country has more to offer than Dinamo Zagreb 
Dinamo Minsk (Belarus) decent team not named BATE from Belarus 
Group I Sparta Prague and Slovan Bratislava an old school battle from the days of Czechoslovakia

Celtic (Scotland) too

I think we've taken the lead in every European match bar one this season. Still yet to win.

So my little guys did not fair too well today

FC Copenhagen (Denmark) 2-0 HJK (Finland)
Qarabag (Azerbaijan) 0-0 St Etienne (France) I wonder did they park the bus, I have not seen any reports of how this game was.
Standard Liege (Belgium) 2-0 Rijeka (Croatia)
PAOK (Greece) 6-1 Dinamo Minsk (Belarus)

No idea how we won that.

How many administrative errors are you from the Final?

Here is a list of "upsets" determined by UEFA national league rankings, not strength of individual teams.

Aalborg (Denmark) 1-0 Rio Ave (Portugal) 
Lokeren (Belgium) 1-0 Metalist Kharkiv (Ukraine) 
Sparta Prague (Czech Republic) 3-1 Young Boys (Switzerland) 
Trabzonspor (Turkey) 0-1 Legia (Poland)
Celtic (Scotland) 1-0 Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia)

Not quite sure how we ended up winning that. We've had so much luck in Europe this season.

Big Jock knew.

Upsets from this round;

Metalist Kharkiv (Ukraine) 0-1 Legia (Poland) 
Aalborg (Denmark) 3-0 Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine)
Rijeka (Croatia) 3-1 Feyenoord (Netherlands) 
Steaua Bucuresti (Romania) 2-1 Rio Ave (Portugal) 
Young Boys (Switzerland) 2-0 Napoli (Italy) 
Celtic (Scotland) 2-1 Astra (Romania) 
Dinpro (Ukraine) 0-1 Qarabag (Azerbaijan)
Estoril (Portugal) 1-2 Dynamo Moscow (Russia)

That Lamela goal, though.

Still refusing to win away in Europe.

I did not forget about this thread just got behind in more important matters

upsets (based off of league ranking)

Dynamo Moscow (Russia) 1-0 Estoril (Portugal)
HJK (Finland) 2-1 Torino (Italy)
Zurich (Switzerland) 3-2 Villarreal (Spain) 
Legia (Poland) 2-1 Metalist Kharkiv (Ukraine)

I thought someone might bump this thread but I am afraid that I was wrong some games are still being played as I type.  Celtic is down 1-2 to Red Bull Salzburg and Tottenham Hotspurs are up 1-0 to Partizan Belgrade.

Spurs should have points docked.

At least we've qualified. We're going to get battered in the next round though.
