the real competition starts when the teams drop down from the champions league

[Nicky91]

fun match for Union St Gillis, against the big Liverpool



am pleased about that draw for Sheriff, chances against Servette me thinks, Slavia Prague ain't impossible either to get some points, and AS Roma well just ask Bodo/Glimt how to beat them



decent draw for West Ham, Olympiacos in their stadium though is a nightmare for any opponent Freiburg are one of those german teams grown into a decent top team and Backa Topola or TPS shorter name idk them but that'll be lols too in serbia, in terms of their fans

Mac Allister playing against his brother in USG will be a cool moment.

This is the competition the CL could have been

their strongest players are Dennis Eckert

and i think you guys could remember Christian Burgess, from his time at Portsmouth

their current manager is a german, Alexander Blessin whom before this job had coached Serie A side Genoa back in 2022 and before that also in Belgium at KV Oostende where he received much praise He completed his first season with Oostende in fifth place, which led to him being linked to clubs such as Sheffield United and Celtic, as well as being named manager of the year in the Belgian top flight

good point

[Nicky91]

i'm giving Frankfurt good chances to go all the way


Mario Gotze, Philipp Max are in good form


even having Makoto Hasebe in the team still to break any games open as a last resort option, for corners, free kicks to have more power for headers in there
