UEFA Champions League


Shocker

Recommended Posts

Interesting draws:

Chelsea naturally gets Athletico Madrid.  Crazy.  Tough group that includes Roma as well.

Man United have a very favorable draw IMO.

Real Madrid has a very tough draw.  Group includes Tottenham and Dortmund.

Bayern and PSG drawn together as well.

Juventus and Barca also in the same group.

i'm sooooooooo shocked that United got the easiest group. who could have seen that coming, nobody in the whole world.

Being picky but I think Group G is actually the easier group.  Initially I thought Liverpool had a good chance but I'm not completely sold they can overtake Spartak and Sevilla.  I think they probably fight Sevilla for the top spot.  That will be interesting.  Group F won't be a cake walk for Man City either...but I think they'll top it in the end.

Almost feel bad for Spurs getting the group of death, Group B should be entertaining with Bayern and PSG, City have a manageable group, would say either group A or group E are the easiest.

at least they have all those new signings to help them. lmao.

It's collusion I tell ya!!!

FIFA and UEFA are both corrupted...  I think it's been proven multiple times.

That said, I have no clue if there is collusion or not but it's odd MU always gets weak teams in group stage.

Group H will be fun to watch for sure.  My dream Group of Death was Real/PSG/Tottenham/Leipzig but Real/Dortmund/Tottenham will be pretty damn good

Group E is the weakest to me, followed by Group A

Groups B and D are the easiest to pick you R16 teams, the question will be which of Bayer/PSG and Juve/Barca get the in the Group Winners pot.  Group C probably is next in this category with Chelsea/Atletico although perhaps Roma can keep it interesting, I do not see that possibility in B/D

If I were to pick the team most likely to top their group it would be City in Group F

I find Group G very interesting.  You have two teams outside the Big Four leagues that have experience past the group stage while the group's lone Big Four team (Leipzig) is brand new to the competition.

I think we can all agree that APOEL got screwed

    • I agree that roster construction is a bigger issue than Rod.  I don't know what coach behind the bench is winning this series.  We weren't even supposed to compete this year, but people are mad because we're getting swept in the ECF again.  If we lost in 7 last round people wouldn't feel that way.
    • And I won't even get into our forward lines... We have three legit forwards in aho, Svech, and Jarvis and a bunch of grinders. There is a reason why we have a hard time putting the puck in the net - nobody on this team knows how to shoot
    • I was more inclined to say fire rod last year than this year. I still think we are lacking significant talent on this team. Without chatty, our defense has old man burns who is washed, ghostbear who is a one-way player, orlov who makes numerous awful turnovers each game, a solid walker, and slavin. I think we are all definitely mad that nikishin didn't play, but we weren't winning this game with them anyway. The entire team came out flat, which is inexcusable at home down a game. If rod couldn't fire them up, I don't think any coach in the NHL does.  Florida is the worst possible matchup for us because they play very similar to us but are better at doing it. It sucks we're going to get swept, but I honestly thought this team was a fringe at best playoff team once we traded away mikko
