Mis matched pre-season friendlys

All 22 goals. The most horrific moment is goal number 8 when the commentator babbles 'can he reach it? oh just about' as the guy actually does reach it and scores, therefore highlighting he's quite happy to mangle the English language in a copycat attempt to sound like a real commentator whilst just sounding like a clueless amateur. Which he undoubtedly is. The hospital radio of football commentary.

I’d say the most horrific moment was the own goal from 35 yards or the one where the keeper stands to the side ... :lol:

Just the 20-0 for Lazio today.

They only managed to score four in the last 35 minutes of the first half. Poor show.

Back in the Estonian Cup, after Kalju and Trans Narva triumphed in the first two second round ties the top flight teams continued to win by huge margins. Flora stuck 13 past Tartu Helios and Paide scored 15 against Tallinna Augur but had the good grace to concede a consolation against the minnows.

Most of the remaining second round ties were played yesterday and were disappointingly low scoring with a mere ten goals being the biggest margin of victory. There were however a couple of walkovers. Top-flight Pärnu Vaprus, albeit rock bottom of the league, almost came a cropper as they scraped a 2-1 victory over non-league works team NPM Silmet.

Estonian Cup overnight according to Forza Football FC Kuressaare 15 Vaimastvere SK Illi 0 (HT 5-0) and quite a night in Paide with Paide Linnamesskond III led JK Kernukadelka 3-2 at half time then it was 4-4 at full time. Paide scored 6 in extra time to win 10-4. Guessing the III means it was the Paide 3rd XI.
Non Estonian Cup result from Monday night, Fraserburgh 13 Ellon United 0.

Paide III's reward for their extra time destruction is an away tie against their own first team. What a tournament.

Going back to the Estonian cup nonsense...

...a while ago HibeeJibee said, per population, the Scottish Cup had more teams than the FA Cup. So I looked across the cups in Europe to see how many clubs entered the competition, assumed 16 players in each match day squad, and compared it to population...

 

Quote

Just compared those numbers to populations of those countries. France has one entrant in their national cup for just under ever 8,000 people and Russia has more than 1,000,000 people for every entrant...

Russia - 1,309,373
Italy - 781,577
Spain - 558,253
Turkey - 495,025
Netherlands - 206,500
Romania - 120,865
Sweden - 102,021
Austria - 87,837
Czech Republic - 79,211
England - 72,023
Hungary - 61,469
Scotland - 57,910
Portugal - 54,558
Denmark - 54,548
Belgium - 48,115
Finland - 41,477
Bosnia & Herzegovina - 26,041
Slovakia - 25,355
Wales - 22,692
Norway - 18,484
Northern Ireland - 14,803
Estonia - 12,767
France - 7,773

France's national cup has a load of prelim rounds before the big clubs go in so Estonia's very large cup, small population, and "all in" set up leads to the beautiful tournament we know and love. Would be awesome if Scotland done the same thing. Especially now the Juniors are moving senior. Celtic v Kirkcaldy YM plz

As for the standard I was in Kurressaare a few years ago and they're a bit of a yo-yo club between the top flight and second tier and they started training in the park I was in. Would say they were the standard of a good South of Scotland team perhaps. (Although maybe I was watching their reserves or thirds)

Aye. It includes prelim and qualifying rounds for all countries.

It doesn't include qualifying competitions however. Technically every single amateur and junior club has a chance to play in the Scottish by winning the Junior or Amateur cup the season before but they aint included.


ETA: I once answered a question in The Guardian about football in Tallinn. Might be of interest to some: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/oct/25/which-city-can-boast-the-most-teams-bearing-its-name-in-the-top-flight

Hopefully the Roda manager tore into his players for not being more clinical, especially between mins 16-28 and 71-85.

In all seriousness some of the scorelines are hilarious. Hoffenheim won 16-0 and QPR 10-0 today aswell.

Always wondered why on earth these obvious mis matches would benefit either side involved?

The Dutch amateur sides pay the professional teams to show up, and then hope to get the money out of it (and make a profit on top obviously) from ticket sales.
