UEFA European Football Forum

UCL, and poor performance did impact the EQ pots, but the reason these teams ended together was a random draw. They could have easily ended up in different groups after the draw. As far as England and France, why should they not have been in Pot 2 for the EQ draw? Other teams performed better than ...

Why? Teams are seeded based on how they performed in the qualifying for the tournament. Why are results from x years ago more important? By this logic you should reseed all the teams before every knockout round in the tournament finals. It “doesn't make any sense at all” to have a R16 Belgium (#1 F...

Would be good to be back to the world rankings when it comes to pots. This current one doesn't make any sense at all. And tbh I don't think the Nations League works. UEFA could create groups with more teams and matches in WC/Euro qualification. Why? Teams are seeded based on how they performed in t...

Do you see any possible separation in the group stage due to political affairs? I only see Serbia/Albania in different groups possibly.

Agreed. And while recently with Szobo's transfer to Liverpool I have been really into English football, tonight I support Italy as England became our rival team in getting pot1. Nice evening ahead.

Poland won its future in today's elections, but (...). EDIT: I decided to not reply to this at the end due to "no politics rule" on this forum. All I can say is that I disagree, it was a lose-lose situation for Poland yesterday. Józef Piłsudski is spinning in his grave... Wish you all the...

This goes on for decades, since Johansson was the UEFA president. The idea of regional groups was to protect the Scandinavian and British teams from the barbarians of the East. You can go back for many years and will find that even in the 3rd round they make them to play against each others. The of...

Normal draw, 17 seeded teams in one basket, 17 unseed teams in another basket, you mix and draw pairs. If you want to avoid, for example, a pair of A5 with B14, you first draw your opponent for A5 from a basket that does not contain B14, simply and fairly. :D This should be the way of all draws fro...

Ferencváros v Hamrun 80-20
Debrecen v Rapid Wien 28-72

I just hope Ferencváros ultras won't be joining long-time friend Rapid ultras to support against a fellow Hungarian team Debrecen, that would be a shame. Cannot be excluded tho..

Explain to me what is the purpose of the conducted draw in PO ECL? The fact that UEFA prefers 5 big leagues is at least clear to everyone. :dontknow: allright so what is your group of league and champions path for play-off Normal draw, 17 seeded teams in one basket, 17 unseed teams in another baske...

Not even close to what Alashkert are doing tonight

I wouldn't burry Ferencváros yet. Trabzonspor is in a very bad form at the moment, far from their performance of last season. Besides, they are not trusthworthy in Europe (last European win in 2019...) If you get a win at home on MD1, everything could change in your favor. I asked my Turkish friend...

Terrible draw for Ferencváros. To see the good side, spring Thursday evenings will be dedicated to the family. I wouldn't burry Ferencváros yet.
