My QF opponent in the CL is also struggling for a top 7 finish in his league but then I saw that his rivals in the leagues are a level higher...mind you we're at level 8...so Im quite surprised the top of the server is 9??

Well, I didnt get trolled, got beat 1-0 away and 2-0 at home, but it left a sour taste because in the first leg, he did not log in but had 12 supporters. In the second leg, he didnt log in either but this round 19 supporters came in! So in effect, I was playing 2 away legs...
