2014-15 Club Soccer (UCL, EL, Libertadores, CCL & Domestic Leagues)

[DeadMan]

What is with this draw? Dortmand and Arsenal again? Bayern and Man City again?

 

[bruin]

sure this isn't a tape from the 2013 draw?

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Barcelona and Bayern can still get Roma but not Liverpool.

 

[Chase]

No Manchester United.

 

[DeadMan]

The group of death will likely be whatever group draws Roma or Monaco out of the 4th pot. I suppose the group that draws Liverpool or Bayer Leverkusen could also be the group of death.

 

[DeadMan]

Liverpool got a nice second seed with Basel. Better than drawing Juventus and Athletic or PSG and Barca.

 

[goblue96]

Called it. Motherfucker! Prepare your assholes, Amsterdam.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

This is bullshit.

 

[Chase]

Lol Ajax lumped in to the Qatar group.

 

[DeadMan]

Ouch, Arsenal have to travel to Turkey ... again.

 

[goblue96]

Fifth straight year that Ajax has drawn either Madrid or Barcelona in the group stage.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

These groups are horribly uneven. Fully expecting Roma in Barcelona's group.

 

[Yankee151]

Sweet same draw as last year. inb4 Roma

 

[bruin]

CSKA Moscow again.

 

[Chase]

Malmo to Group F for the Group of Zlatan

 

[bruin]

Bring it Group of Death

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Bayern got a horrible draw.

 

[DeadMan]

Liverpool got a pretty good draw. Arsenal got a tough one, but one they ought to get through. Chelsea got a cakewalk. Man City got the group of death it looks like. Roma might be Serie A favorites.

 

[Chase]

 

[Yankee151]

Well, fuck

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Athletic going to win Group H. Monaco don't make it out of the group stage.

 

[bruin]

Group C ahah

 

[bruin]

cake walk @Yankee151

 

[Yankee151]

Group C is the worst, Benfica are terrible this year

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Group H isn't that good either.

 

[worst2first]

I added the sports package so I can now watch some of these matches. In the last week or so I've watched all or parts of matches from Brazil, Mexico, Spain and Italy as well as some of the UEFA Champions League matches.

 

[hayvis]

It's so boring when you get drawn against the same team two years running.

 

[Yankee151]

At least you didn't get the same group -Plzen +Roma.

 

[chibob]

Which group did United end up in?

 

[chibob]

Mertesacker vs Aubameyang, cant wait to see that.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Quick Predictions

Group A: Atletico, Juventus, Olympiakos, Malmo
Group B: Madrid, Liverpool, Basel, Ludogorets
Group C: Leverkusen, Benfica, Zenit, Monaco
Group D: Dortmund, Arsenal, Galatasaray, Anderlecht
Group E: Bayern, Manchester City, Roma, CSKA Moscow
Group F: Paris, Barcelona, Ajax, APOEL
Group G: Chelsea, Schalke, Sporting, Maribor
Group H: Athletic, Porto, Shakhtar, BATE

 

[chibob]

Dont count Roma out, I reckon they could cause a shock.

Yeah, Roma was the last team drawn. Had they been drawn in Group H instead of Group E, I would have had them winning that group with Athletic in second. Unfortunately, they ended up in Bayern's group. I think they'll win Serie A though. Good game between Roma and Fiorentina to kick-off Serie A this weekend.

 

[Yankee151]

I think City are going to Europa League. Not enough squad depth for this competition

I don't think any team could put a squad together to guarantee exit from that group. It's going to make for amazing tv.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Which group did United end up in?

Milan, Marseille, Legia

 

[hayvis]

18 year old Lazio player has to prove he is not 42...

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Dortmund-Arsenal and Bayern-Manchester City on Matchday One.

 

[hayvis]

At least that's our most difficult game out of the way.

 

[sois]

Barça group, that looks like an easy list.

 

[TrojanMan]

Which group did United end up in?

MLS East. Looking good for a wildcard playoff spot.

Once they re-sign Spector, they will be a lock.

 

[chibob]

There was a stat about Spector the other day:

The last time Utd got beat 4-0 in the cup

[Karl Hungus]

Sweet tifo from the Legia fans:

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Hoping Celtic and Legia get drawn together in the Europa League.

Lokomotiv Moscow, Lyon, Sociedad and Twente all eliminated in the Europa League.

Carlos Bianchi fired at Boca. This is the same guy who won three Libertadores titles from 2000-2003. Unfortunately, Riquelme, Palermo and Tevez are no longer at La Bombonera.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Europa League Draw

Group A: Villarreal, Moenchengladbach, Zurich, Apollon
Group B: Kobenhavn, Brugge, Torino, HJK
Group C: Tottenham, Besiktas, Partizan, Asteras
Group D: Salzburg, Celtic, Dinamo Zagreb, Astra
Group E: PSV, Panathinaikos, Estoril, Dinamo Moscow
Group F: Internazionale, Dnipro, Saint-Etienne, Qarabag
Group G: Sevilla, Standard, Feyenoord, Rijeka
Group H: Lille, Wolfsburg, Everton, Krasnodar
Group I: Napoli, Sparta Prague, Young Boys, Slovan Bratislava
Group J: Dynamo Kyiv, Steaua, Rio Ave, Aalborg

Guess I'll go with Internazionale over Roma in the final.

The Granit Xhakha experience

 

[chibob]

Hit and hope...

 

[Yankee151]

I actually really like Monchengladbach's squad this year. Fabian Johnson, Thorgan Hazard, Max Kruse, Christoph Kramer, and Xhakha.
