Yet they are a Bundesliga team who managed to beat Bayern and Dortmund and are German representatives in the biggest competition in Europe defending WORST than Liverpool football club... that is not a good sentence to be involved with when people throw around the PL is tactically sub par and x and y division is better but not as entertaining etc etc

I think in Uth goal Liverpool actually managed to outshit Hoffenhaim defense. Also I don't think you can compare quality of leagues based on one match, especially when you watch football with your PremierLeagueMasterrace glasses.

Poor Feyenoord. Pot 4 is rough.

Have to hope for someting like

Shakhtar
ManU
Anderlecht
Feyenoord

for them to have a fighting chance out of the group. If they draw something like

Real
Paris
Napoli
Feyenoord

they don't even have a real shot at getting 3rd. And there's a lot more of the latter group possibilities than the former.

True, but it doesn't really matter, they'd get destroyed in the RO16 anyway. Pot 3 has a number of teams that could advance, like Napoli, Liverpool, Rome, Tottenham, but I don't think there are any in pot 4.

For a second I was about to start some paper math to calculate the odds of Arsenal getting put in the same group as Bayern, then I lol'd.

rosenborg vs ajax tonight feels like the most important game in a decade for us. We have the most complete looking squad we've had for a very long time, a manager who was part of the start of our great 90s era and who really tries to, and seems to succeed at, modernizing the style of play and mentality we had back then.

Getting to play european football will solidify our economy and make us significantly more attractive for talents who consider us a good stepping stone (a reputation we largely have already, but we'd basically become attractive to players that are one level higher), and the current leadership is so good that I am confident they'd be able to continue building upon that success. If we lose, then the season ends up being 'meh', even if we win the third norwegian double in a row. ;p

Still, losing isn't considered a crisis at all. First game vs ajax largely proved that they're good enough to quality for the europa league - at least if we're a bit luckier with the draw - although we probably couldn't have hoped for a better time to face off against Ajax specifically.

Pot 1 and 2 are so evenly matched now. Of course RM Bayern Juventus and kinda Chelsea are all powerhouses, but I think the bottom 4 teams in pot 1 are arguably worse than like, 6-7 of the pot 2 teams are. Massive dropoff to pot 3 though. Picturing a bunch of predictable groups tbh, only tottenham liverpool roma and napoli look capable of taking a CL spot, and that also hinges on them not facing any real strong top 2 duo - and chances are good we'll be looking at 4 real strong top 2 duos.

Of course it's all pretty random and maybe man city gets knocked out by a group featuring olympiakos and qarabac.

I guess Bayern has to finish 3rd on the group and go drop Arsenal out of the Europa League bracket.

Thats not possible I think because they alternate for A-D and E-H and order is Bayern, BVB, Leipzig
Thank fuck for that

How come Sevilla could only get group E? I get that they had to split 2 Spanish teams A-D and 2 E-H but there were Sevilla and Barça left for that. Or is it that the TVs would never accept to show Real AND Barça on the same night? That'd be some load of crap. Well, at least Barça can't get Napoli now x)

They just alternate A-B-A-B and so if Barca had been drawn first it would have been other way around.

e: and there they are, the completely ridiculous differences in group strength
