Liverpool going forward is going to be interesting.

Salah? I've read that hes amenable to a 3 year contract and that guy is in insane shape.

VVD...that one I'm not sure about. He does seem like he's back to his normal self but he's getting up there.

I really do want them to re-sign TAA though.

RB Leipzig the first team officially eliminated.

But yeah, Bratislava getting pretty beat up. Same with Young Boys and Bologna.

I was afraid Dinamo was headed down that path, but after getting smoked by Bayern 9-2 in the first round, they have looked like they belong in Europe ever since.

Teams need to stop messing with Young Boys. They've got the worst team name in the world and they know it! There is no sense in just hammering it in!

If only they got a chance to play against Brest they might score a win!!

Still think they'll squeeze through with this format, but what kind of odds could you have gotten that Man City won't even get out of the group? They continue to look absolutely horrific.

thought it couldn't get any better than VfB Stuttgart winning big ... then I saw Man City being down 2-0 again. Beautiful.

I think their next match is against PSG so who knows.
2 massive clubs doing horrible, one of them will likely go straight out.

Well with their form you can't even consider them nailed on to beat anyone right now. Watch their only win for the rest of the calendar year will be against the 115.

Those Young Boys really got balled. That wasn't even polite.

Bodo/Glimt! One of the few teams with two names and a slash.

Spurs escape Glasgow with a point.

Moves both teams closer to top 8 though.

Borussia Dortmund have responded to claims Youssoufa Moukoko is lying about his age ahead of the release of a new documentary.

Ahead of the documentary 'Tricks, Cheats, Deception - The Million Dollar Business with Football Talents' being released on Sunday, it has been claimed that the German international is four years older than his apparent age of 20. Moreover, the documentary posits that his real name is different and that his father, Joseph Moukoko, is not actually his biological parent. Now, Dortmund have given their take on the matter.

Dortmund told Sky Germany: "In the case of Youssoufa Moukoko, the biological parents and the date of birth are derived from official identification documents and birth certificates issued by a German authority. These documents are still valid today and are the basis for playing authorizations and permits for clubs, regardless of whether they are domestic or foreign, and of course also for association teams such as the German U21 national team. Please also note that both the player and the biological parents identified in the above-mentioned documents have declared to us and, in the case of the parents, even to third parties through affidavits in the context of legal proceedings that the information contained in the aforementioned official documents is correct. This factual status is of course decisive for us, the DFB, and the player's current club."

In the documentary, aired by German channel ProSieben, the man claiming to be Joseph Moukoko reportedly confessed to falsifying documents to present the striker - currently on loan at Nice - as his son and reduce his official age. He said, via beIN Sports: "We did it so he could have better opportunities in European football."

The publication adds these revelations could suggest he exceeded the age limit in youth competitions, including Germany's Under-21 European Championship triumph in 2021. The veracity of the documentary is yet to be revealed, however.

####'s about the fan ... apparently Lars Ricken was well aware, so it remains to be seen if Dortmund can get off the hook here. The mere story itself is not a surprise, there have been a ton of rumours for years that Moukoko is older than stated ... but man, 4 years is a lot. There was so much brouhaha about him being such a wonderkid, youngest Bundesliga player ever and so on, and it was all a lie.

I dont know anything about that, and, frankly, I dont know how much Dortmund should be responsible for? You're given birth certificates etc. how far is the club expected to to go in order to inspect if they're genuine.

Former Manchester City player Mikheil Kavelashvili became president of Georgia on Saturday.

Kavelashvili, 53, was the only candidate on the ballot and easily won the vote given the Georgian Dream party's control of a 300-seat electoral college that replaced direct presidential elections in 2017. It is made up of members of Parliament, municipal councils and regional legislatures.

I think you can figure it out, but I bolded it anyways.
