iseah100 5,612 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Oh well whoever wins it they get top seed. To me it makes more sense and makes the group stage more interesting. I rather have 2 or 3 groups of death then having a bunch of group where you probably know who will come out. Not to say there will be surprise but on average that's how it's gotten. With having the Champions on pot 1 it will bring more attraction to the group stage. So from me this is a brilliant idea from UEFA. Yea, but should Zenit get a spot in Pot 1? Think about the depth in some other leagues (England, Spain) compared to Italy and Portugal, will it really make the competition better? If the best teams are knocking out eachother in the group stages, will it make the competition better? Fernando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the best teams are knocking out eachother in the group stages, will it make the competition better?True that, but that's how it was in the old competition. And a reason why teams like Real Madrid, and Liverpool dominated. Now back that way, maybe we can dominate. Yeah but you got a point, it will make the group stage harder and the knockout less. But hey, in Group stage it's about points. So we will see much better games then in knockout where teams are so scared to attack because of away goal rule.

beyondinvisible 47 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Chelsea are the most likely English team to win the Champions League due to their past results. And of course, having a coach who's won the competiton twice before doesn't hurt the wes and iseah100 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 For those who missed an absolutely MAD night in the Champions league (Most goals ever scored in a single matchday) http://www.footballorgin.com/2014/10/champions-league-2014-2015-highlights_22.html The Skipper and Atlantic Lion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantic Lion 46 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It makes me so sad that we weren't allowed to join this great night of football.We started winning at Gelsenkirchen, things got a bit out of hand, we got a man sent off for nothing, suffered an offside goal YET down to 10 man we came back.But in added time the goal referee clearly saw... Well, no one knows what did he see.Like Drogba once said: Ainsley Harriott 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parks 24 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I agree. The ball hit him smack in the face. Porto were robbed. The worse bit of referring since Oviedo.I hope the ref/linesperson and goal-line assistant never get to be in charge of another European match.

beyondinvisible 47 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Bayern are the main threat. Bayern, Barca, and Real are always going to be the main contenders for the Champions League. I was referring to which of the English teams had the best chance. And that is without a doubt, Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 lol at that penalty for Shalke in the dying minutes. Daylight robberyHope Sporting Lisbon gain revenge in the return fixture. How did the linesman/fifth official deem that to be a handball offence is beyond me really, especially when he got a clear view of it, unlike the referee who was behind the action.On the other hand, watching the goals Schalke conceded really reminded me of our disastrous defending under RDM. Absolutely shocking. petre.ispirescu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 well, if the tournament is called CHAMPIONS league, it should be drawn according to the domestic champions and also the defending champion. This seeding system they have now is awful. Nothing gets worse. iseah100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolayes 14,489 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 You can never expect an easy game in the knockout stage ,,, Unless you win your group and draw Arsenal or Scumpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
