Ah! I'm sure you've heard about it though. United were favourites to go to the final but lost 0-2 in Belgrade in the first leg. We didn't have George Best for the second leg and only managed a 1-0 win.Was born 22 years after that
I think he said later that he thought about stopping the ball on the line, lying down, and heading it in.Yep, Kim Book it was, I remember one of the goals, when Best shimmied his hips as he went through on goal, and Kim Book dived, Best just took the ball to the line and flicked it home. He looked a bit fed up by then did Besty, so it must have been one of the later goals.
Was on the east as well, 14y old with dad, uncle, their friend and uncles kid (he was 6 at the time). Also cheered a bit when Beckham scored but was angry about Tokics deflection when Keane scored.Pederi sa zapada.
I was at east stand, at least I think.
I remember now, we were on our way out but heard and saw the commotion, got back and saw Robi scoring a consolation goal. Still can't believe I watched the treble team a year after we won it all.Was on the east as well, 14y old with dad, uncle, their friend and uncles kid (he was 6 at the time).

Remember whole stadium screaming Zuti Zuti since Prosinecki was on the bench with back problems. He gets in the game late on and scores of course, Maksimir erupted but it was too late. Alongside Zvezda in Maksimir when I was 5, my favorite match ever.
Yes, of course, the best European campaign in Partizan's history.Ah! I'm sure you've heard about it though. United were favourites to go to the final but lost 0-2 in Belgrade in the first leg. We didn't have George Best for the second leg and only managed a 1-0 win.

After Benfica, we were sure we'd be in the final. I remember Nobby scoring our only goal late in the second half in the home leg but, all in all, it was pretty deflating.Early second half, already 1-0 down and Denis missed a header when it seemed easier to score - inside the little box, only the keeper to beat and he hit the bar or put it over, can't remember which, but almost the worst miss of his career in perhaps the biggest match of his career as he was injured for Wembley '68.
Wouldn't say that seeing how both the teams are doing these daysSome people get all the luck.
That's fascinating. How did that come about?My local team is Milan, and my adopted team is Tromsø.
I live right next to Milan and I was in Tromsø last year for Erasmus (hoping to move there next year for my specialization).That's fascinating. How did that come about?
I mean, the Red Bulls have the name, the fans, the legacy (they were already the cumbersomely named NY/NJ Metrostars and have been a New York team for nearly 25 years at this point). That would be like being a Buffalo Bills fan because the Jets & Giants play in Jersey. I get it, but logistics are what they are. Personally I'm happy there isn't an NFL or "soccer-specific" stadium shoehorned somewhere onto Manhattan, like when they were discussing that white elephant of a stadium where Hudson Yards is now.Columbus Crew.
Redbulls are a New Jersey team with no connections to New York. NYCFC... Not supporting a City surrogate. And I'm definitely not supporting a Boston team.
I studied in Tromsø, it's a pretty nice city/town. And nothing beats the northern lights/midnight sun combo (even if they happen at opposite times of the year).I live right next to Milan and I was in Tromsø last year for Erasmus (hoping to move there next year for my specialization).
The Cigarette Smoking Man made sure the Bills never won a Super Bowl.I mean, the Red Bulls have the name, the fans, the legacy (they were already the cumbersomely named NY/NJ Metrostars and have been a New York team for nearly 25 years at this point).

Ouch, that's rough. I struggle to support them, and I'm from here. I mean, I like them and want them to do well, but they've been horrendously shit for almost 7 years, so I've kind of just given up on them ever doing anything of note again.and my adopted team is Tromsø.
But it feels different with the Giants and Jets who feel like NY teams, and are embedded into the sport culture of the city (media, fandom, even bars). I don't get that vibe with the Red Bulls. Same with NYCFC, but at least they're currently up in Yankee Stadium, and with time may draw a Bronx/Uptown crowd.I mean, the Red Bulls have the name, the fans, the legacy (they were already the cumbersomely named NY/NJ Metrostars and have been a New York team for nearly 25 years at this point).

Aye, can't wait to go back to northern Norway!I studied in Tromsø, it's a pretty nice city/town. And nothing beats the northern lights/midnight sun combo (even if they happen at opposite times of the year).
True, but I won't be complaining if they end up employing me next year, I can try to whip them into shapeOuch, that's rough. I struggle to support them, and I'm from here.
