We lost first match when we should of got a point & dropped 2pts tonight. Could be a long season of missed opportunities. Their GK had a great game in a MOTM performance

We held Galatasaray at 1-1 until the 72nd minute, but in the end we didn't have enough. I am not concerned about our performances so far but hopefully we can pick up some points soon.

Kyiv attacks Donetsk
Derby deadlock in Ukraine
Derby tonight! New season with first match against Shakhtar!
Not a result we wanted but a fair one. Dovbyk did the job we brought him for! Diaz with the assist as a substitution!
We expect more from Traore as he made a lot of effort in the pitch but he had some sloppy decisions on last actions! When he is 100% ready he should be a key player for us!
Chris Baggio (Dynamo Kyiv manager)
Brugge bounce back
Flying Donkeys grounded
After the 4-0 loss in the friendly game against Chievo Verona, we take back our pride with a 3-0 victory against the same Chievo.

Muller Delight!
Mullan masterminds win in Milan
A Crucial 1-0 away win. This is a tough place to come to get a result, but in the end we probably did enough to deserve the win and put an early 3 points on the board. It was pleasing to keep a clean sheet with our youthful defence, whilst creating plenty of chances at the other end.
glen mullan (RCD Espanyol)
United Start with a Bang
Hamburger Thrashed
4-1 home win over Hamburg, a big surprise, as we start the season with a win, much more attacking style this season with, hopefully we can keep scoring goals as last season that was a disappointment, up next Spurs.
Niall Taylor (Manchester United)
Our performance wasn't too bad, just outclassed.
David Marsden (Hamburger SV)

Hoops come back from two goals down with last minute winner
As a game and match stats I am very satisfied, we dominated but we were not lucky… we have time.
Salvatore Zerbo (Levante UD)
Standard Liege Languish in Relegation Zone
Shocking performance and start - Reynolds
Always good to get 3 points on the board, we overcame a strong Liege side with a brace from Che Adams and a goal from El Shaarawy in a 3 - 1 away win. I wasn't expecting it, I think it's the most shots on target I've had since I joined.
Carl Martin (TSG 1899 Hoffenheim)
We were shite.

Around the Grounds
Feyenoord say goodbye to key players
Regarding the signings, we brought young players to contribute something to the team but unfortunately we had to say goodbye to very good players from the team
Sheene Ralspunsky (Feyenoord)
Mister TRX: We'll prove the doubters wrong
Sevilla return to Division 4, favourites to go straight back down
It is likely to be a tough season.
Ospina will be under pressure from a talent trio of understudies at least 2 should get a big rise this season and will likely replace him.
A new look defence will have to prove themselves this season. The midfield is more settled with no changes from last season with Caputo leading the line upfront.
The youth team sees a number of talents perhaps none more so than Bryan Zaragoza. He may well pick up some 1st team game time here towards the end of the season.
Mister TRX (Sevilla)
Division of Death
Division 4 will prove to be very entertaining this season
Torino start their season at home against fellow Italian side AS Roma, a side that was relegated from D3 last season - providing a stern test for their manager upon his return to Top 100.
The media keep asking questions about predictions for the season, but the only answer they've been met with is: "We will see."

A great way to start the tenure at Ajax as we've beat the gatekeepers of Div 3 in a comfortable 3-1 win. Scouting was done well as all the goals were scored by the new boys. Debuts: Casco, Diaz, Darmian, Vieira and finally Sancho.
