Watched Wolfsburg only 3 times this season and they have been horrendous every time. Have they been that bad all the time this season?

They are 2nd in the Bundesliga and look likely to stay there so they can stink out the CL next season (like Liverpool :pac:)

And Club Brugge are still unbeaten in this years Europa League :P

Some goal from Denis Suarez for Sevilla. Worthy of winning a match.

Unbeaten in 23 games before tonight?

Wolfsburg only lost twice at home all season. Everton/Napolitano. When they're bad, they,'re very bad

GT_TDI_150

Poor Brugge

Unable to watch Napoli-Wolfburg thanks to BT Sport somehow not making tonight's game available to ROI viewers???

Sałah is yet again tonight showing Chelsea mugged themselves off by swapping him & 20m for Juan Cuadrado. Love to watch Fiorentina, a very atypical Serie A side.

None of their Europa league matches are available in Ireland .It's down to TV3 I suspect more than BT.

Really is a ridiculous rule as I paid for BT so I should be able to watch it whenever I like.

The ref in the Dnipro - Brugge game could have done with being a little stronger

One of the Dnipro lads in a space of 5mins, went for a ball, missed it and then made the motion and stuck the studs on top of the brugge defenders .... easily one Yellow, possibly 2 yellows ...

It wasnt to be for brugge, didnt really threathen tonight.

Onwards for the Belgian League Title so.

But 3e didn't show the Napoli game? Is it the case that 3e have the rights to all Europa League games on Irish tv?
That's b0llox, if you pay for something, then you should see it.

dreamers75

Sevilla dominated all but a 20 minute spell of the entire tie, Bet is possibly the best keeper in the world at saving hard shots but maybe the worst at the simple ones :pac:

Napoli favourites but imo whoever beats Sevilla will win it.

TV3 & setanta have the irish rights. BT bought espn uk & got their EL rights which were uk only, that's why they're blocked. should know what you're paying for! :pac:

those deals end this season though, setanta have the EL rights for ireland for the next 3 seasons. BT have them for the uk, i don't know if their broadcasts will be available here but because of the partnership could be

Semi Final Draw

SSC Napoli (ITA) V FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk (UKR)
Sevilla FC (ESP) V ACF Fiorentina (ITA)

LuckyLloyd

Two interesting ties. Expect Napoli will try and steamroll the first half in Naples. If they don't make an early breakthrough it could be a very tough and tight two legs.

Can't call the other semi at all - two good sides.

GT_TDI_150

Having watched the 2 games of Dnipro in the 1/4s I dont think there is much there for Napoli to fear.

Harry Palmr

Bump!

ITV4 are showing Seville v Fiorentina KO 8.05 pm.

Turtwig

Here's hoping this will be a cracker.

A lot of empty seats in Naples.

Turtwig

Had to score!

There's a rule.

Anytime Bryan Kerr is commentating you watch that.

The bottom tier is always empty as the view is terrible from it apparently.

Sweet finish that by Vidal.

klose

Really good team goal and finish from vidal, daisy cutter!


Edit....oh matias...l

What a miss!

End to end tho

MR NINE

Is the napoli match on tv?

Harry Palmr

Mad game, well its calmed down a bit but the opening 30 mins were like a coke fuelled 5 a side. Salah will wake up screaming if that miss proves critical.

Setanta Ireland if you have it

Lopez!! Napoli get the opener

Big save from Dnipro keeper to keep it at 1 - 0

Can't believe Montella hasn't got on Joaquin & Salah for not doing their job defensively

Oh I have BT for the UFC....I always thought Setanta Ireland was free on some providers

Napoli robbed with a clearly offside smash and grab goal.

Is for me on UPC, no sports pack.

Alonso77

Dnipro goal clearly offside. Awful decision

LuckyLloyd

Jaysus the reffing in the Napoli game has been awful.

Pighead

That's poor from Napoli. Three minutes left. Winger gets to the byline looks up and sees just two of his team mates in the box. Crosses it and keeper catches comfortably.

Maybe. They'll be rightly feeling hard done by to not be going into the second leg with a 2 - 0 / 3 - 0 in their back pocket though. Dnipro rode their luck and fair play to them sure.

klose

Semis can be cagey affairs but 3 out of 4 semis this week (cant speak for the napoli-dnipro game) were absolute crackers. Great few days of football.
