Re: UEFA Champions Lg Qual: 12th July

Sorry for butting in so late but just in response to the comments on Neftchi v FH game. Its a bit of after eventing but I would almost certainly have fancied the Azeri side. They played at the 2nd qualifying round last season and had a very good 0-0 with eventual UEFA Cup winners CSKA Moscow in Baku. Even in the return leg they only went down 2-0 to, I think, 2 pretty late goals.

Baku isn't a place you would want to be visiting at the current time, especially if your from Iceland. Temperature in the low to mid 30's at present would have made it very uncomfortable for anyone not used to those conditions.

I will keep an eye on Neftchi in the return leg with a view to possibly laying the Icelandic side.
