Shame the Frankfurt players had to get stroppy with West Ham when they didn't kick the ball out for one of their injured players - Especially when Frankfurt themselves did exactly the same when their own player was down moments later
It's great watching away teams who want to score and not just get men behind the Ball like Atletico and Villarreal away from home. I thought it may end 2-2 as there was lots of room down the flanks of Frankfurt. Bowen is a cracking player who on another night has a brace.
We've had an academy product make an appearance in all 3 European cup competition semi finals this season.
Gomez champs league Aribo Europa
Lookman Conference
Whilst we're stuck in mid table in league 1
Joe Aribo wasn't a scholar when we signed him from Staines but all 3 were awesome players at Cafc. As a rule if you sell your talent on a regular basis you end up a weaker side. The only team I can remember who got stronger after selling a major player from their side was Liverpool when Coutinho left for 160 million to Barcelona where he failed to shine and yet Liverpool just kept on improving.
The atmosphere at West ham sounds absolutely dead. A european semi final and it's as lively as a pre-season friendly.
Problem with that stadium in particular, and when you have a capacity that allows for day trippers and fringe fans.
Hammer mate of mine says the crowds they get at the european nights only know 'West are massive' so there's no chance of building an atmosphere after bubbles.
Frankfurt (2) v West Ham (1) Rangers (0) v RB Leipzig (1)
And in the conference league Roma (1) v Leicester (1)
Elsewhere in the ECL, absolutely no one will be surprised to hear that Marseille and Feyenoord fans have basically spent the last 24 hours fighting across the city.
I'd love to see a West ham v Rangers final but i think it'll end up an all German final.
Frankfurt's home form as Gary says isn't great, but they do draw a lot which will be enough tonight. Rangers if they score early and get Ibrox rocking they've got a great chance but they have no fit strikers and ultimately i think Leipzig's quality will overcome them.

Good game to watch this.
Shame they didn't let Frankfurt have 10k tickets instead of 3k.
The 87 fans who deserted Charlton Athletic to go to West Ham reckon David Moyes has taken the hammers as far as he can !

Great game to watch that. Impressed by Frankfurt. Didnt think they were capable of that.
Can see West Ham winning in Germany though.

In the Europa league:

Rangers (0) v RB Leipzig (1)
And in the conference league Roma (1) v Leicester (1)

Hope i'm very wrong though.
