This is the only way we have a chance to get into UCL next year, so suck it bitches... this one's ours!!

 

 

 

 

(I can dream, right?)

 

It can definitely be done. There is some quality in Europa this year though. If Liverpool can get healthy, we could make a decent run as well. I expect Spurs to go far.

If the UCL winner does not qualify domestically then they have a playoff with the Europa champion correct?

 

  • If the Champions League title holders have qualified for the group stage through domestic performance while the Europa League title holders have not, the Europa League title holders enter the group stage through the berth vacated by the Champions League title holders. If the Europa League title holders have qualified for any of the qualifying rounds or play-off round through domestic performance, their berth is vacated, and teams of the highest-ranked associations are moved to a later round accordingly.
  • If the Champions League title holders have not qualified for the group stage through domestic performance, there are two sets of changes that may need to be made:
    1. If the Champions League title holders have qualified for any of the qualifying rounds or play-off round through domestic performance, their berth is vacated, and teams of the highest-ranked associations are moved to a later round accordingly. Similar team movements are possible as well, if the Europa League title holders have entered in force the play-off round of a certain Route while qualified for any round of another Route,[3] thereby vacating their berth in the last one.
    2. If the Europa League title holders have not qualified for the group stage through domestic performance, they enter the play-off round, where the section (Champions Route or League Route) they enter depends on whether the Champions League title holders are league champions of Association 13-54[3] or not. Unless the Europa League title holders have entered and qualified for the play-off round (League Route) through domestic performance, teams of the lowest-ranked associations are moved to an earlier round accordingly. For example (examples below do not take into account the possible moves due to the berth vacated by the Champions League title holders in the League Route and by the Europa League title holders in the Champions Route):
      • If the Europa League title holders have entered the play-off round (League Route) and not qualified for the Champions League through domestic performance, the third-placed teams of associations 4 and 5 are moved from the play-off round to the third qualifying round.
      • If the Europa League title holders have entered the play-off round (League Route) and qualified for the third qualifying round (League Route) through domestic performance, the third-placed team of association 5 are moved from the play-off round to the third qualifying round.
      • If the Europa League title holders have entered the play-off round (Champions Route), only 9 winners of the third qualifying round (Champions Route) advance to the play-off round. While the exact changes that need to be made are to be defined by UEFA as there is no similar precedent, a few possible scenarios are given below for the least unlikely case where the Champions League title holders have qualified for the third qualifying round (Champions Route): a) Two champions of associations 13–15 (except the Champions League title holders) are moved from the third qualifying round to the second qualifying round. B) The champions of association 15 (or the champions of association 14 if the Champions League title holders are from association 15) are moved from the third qualifying round to the second qualifying round, and the champions of associations 44 and 45 are moved from the second qualifying round to the first qualifying round. c) The champions of associations 42–45 are moved from the second qualifying round to the first qualifying round.

He better make top 4 now. No CL footy will be very disappointing next year.

I like Rodgers just saying. Also he hates Balotelli and I want a logical reason as to why

 

He set Balo up to fail yesterday and I'm not sure why. There was no link up play from the holding mids to the forwards. Can and Allen were forced to play the ball to the feet of stationary attackers, because we had no control over the middle third. Bad formation.

    • After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off 
    • https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.
    • Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
