Re: 2023/2024 Europa League Round of 16

Brighton bow out with a 1-0 win for the coefficient. It was a very good performance, they were unlucky not to score more than one, though certainly didn't do enough to recover the tie. You could be the only Englishman in the world who cares about english coefficient :grin1: . Not anymore. They were...

Re: UEFA Euro 2024- Qualifier

After looking at the tables again, two out of Wales, Poland and Israel qualifying directly would be good enough for Ireland to make the playoffs

Re: UEFA Euro 2024- Qualifier

Looking at Irelands chances of making the playoffs, it looks like we need Israel and Poland to qualify directly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2024_qualifying One question though, if one of the group C Nations League winners qualifies directly (probably Turkey), do Estonia go into Path A or...

Re: 2026 World Cup

Another thing to consider is the rest period between games for the third place teams. Third place qualifiers from the later groups won't be able to play in the early second round fixtures unless the tournament has some days without any games in between. Feasible in a 24 team tournament but not a pro...

Re: 2026 World Cup

Is there any chance UEFA might get more teams now? I remember them using the "logic" that we couldn't get any more than 16 because that would mean more than one in the same group. But they can't really use that excuse any more

Re: UEFA Europa Conference League 2022/23 Play-Off Round

You just have to look on Twitter how many Norwegians are rooting for Zagreb against Glimt because they don't want them to run away with the CL money. I'd say it's the same in a lot of countries. I desperately hope Linfield don't get into the ECL group stages because the financial payout will make i...

Re: 2022 WC Qatar

It's a bit strange that they're having playoffs in Qatar this June, when the tournament itself had to be moved to the winter because it's too hot to play in Qatar in summertime.

Re: UEFA Nations League 2022/23

UEFA has 55, nations, CONMEBOL has 10. That gives a total of 65.

Enough teams for four divisions of 16 in a combined nations league, but it also means one team would have to miss out.

Re: Liechtenstein champions

Are there no leagues at all taking place in Liechtenstein? Surely there must be one, albeit at a lesser standard then FC Vaduz. Why not make the winner of that league the Liechtenstein Champions for Champions League qualification and treat the Liechtestein clubs playing in Switzerland the same way a...

Do Inter and Milan not need to be paired together since they share the same stadium?

Re: UEFA Europa Conference League play-off round

As a Spurs fan I'm not concerned too much about last nights result, other than it goes to show our reserves quite frankly aren't all that good. While that's concerning in itself I don't think we're in any danger of failing to turn it round next week. I'm sure the lineup next Thursday will be a lot d...

Something extraordinary must have happened, worse than COVID or global warming, Man city were pushed off the throne. :rollfloor: PSG 3.75 Man City 4.50 Bayern 8.00 etc. Funny that Messi makes such a difference to the odds considering he's not shown up for the latter stages of the Champions League f...
