The UEFA Cup Thread

[jackie4]

According to the Uefa website Rangers are now unseeded in Pot 8 with Middlesbrough in Pot 8 as a seeded team.

If that's right It's absolutely ridiculous that a team making its first European appearance can be seeded ahead of Rangers who made the Quarter finals just 3 seasona ago.

And that's coming from a Celtic fan!!!

 

[jackie4]

Well, I'm watching the draw now and the Flash list on the Uefa site WAS wrong.

GOOD!!!!!!!

How does that seeding thingy work? Alemannia Aachen are a German 2nd division team, never played in Europe before and are seeded?

 

[jackie4]

So It's Hearts v Braga and Rangers v Maritimo

Not bad at all.

because it's not only the club coefficient that counts, the country points too. Aachen has benefited from the great german coefficient.

32. FH Hafnarfjördur v TSV Alemannia Aachen

0 home games for Aachen

Aachen will play in Cologne. Crap.

these are going to be two pretty entertaining draws, Hearts - Braga I think are very evenly matched, Rangers are clear favourites over Maritimo, although Maritimo isn't too bad a side at all, they might offer some resistance..

 

[Punkt]

Rangers will have a very hard match at Barreiros. Hope Maritimo get a good result at Ibrox to discuss the round in Madeira.

Leeds was already defeated 2 times at Barreiros for the UEFA Cup

 

[Jambo Den]

Bugger me this is gonnae be hard!

They must surely have been one of the best unseeded teams in the draw, just our luck

Dutch meets:

FC Utrecht v Djurgårdens IF
Odd Grenland v Feyenoord
PAOK FC v AZ Alkmaar
Maccabi Petach-Tikva FC v SC Heerenveen

FC Steaua Bucuresti v PFC CSKA Sofia

OK draws for the Romanian sides imo. Steaua will of course rape Sofia up the ass home and away (Run ) I'm not so worried about that. I also think Dinamo can reach the group stage because Partizan showed their weaknesses against a not so good Otelul side (also from Romania) only beating them 1-0 on aggregate. The UEFA Cup will be better than ever this year I also dig the new logo

is braga the team with that mental staduim from euro 2004? the one with 2 stands, a cliff and a field

if it is, you HAVE to go den

 

[Lonestarr022]

Aalborg


There is also someone with that name hanging around these forums too.

[SRB]

son of a ****. partizan have no luck when it comes to picking opponents... steaua tell me some info about dinamo. how are they in their division? partizan struggled vs otelul, but we had some injuries and some missing players, so i think we'll be more ready for dinamo.
