Great news Bad English, sounds like the iconic San Siro will remain. It's one of the most famous and atmospheric stadiums in the world imo.

Boca might buid new

Boca's Chocolate Box is one of my favorite stadiums, it will be criminal to replace such an amazingly unique looking stadium.

Luton's stadium at Kenilworth Road is having problems meeting the requirements for the Premier League so they could end up having a new stadium, which is a shame because it's a good old fashioned stadium with character and a great atmosphere. You just know they'll end up with a soulless bowl like the rest of them, but that's the way it is nowadays. I like what Liverpool have done, instead of building a new stadium, they have upgraded Anfield, and it looks terrific.

Boca want build new one on a island, it's historic stadion, i dont Want see it.

Luton town first should survive in PL. One of top favorits to be relegated.

So group stages are here, another good year for UEFA , might need some thinking because Saudies are steeling our players.
I post in order as I think teams will end

Champions Leuage

Group A: Bayern (GER), Man United (ENG), / Copenhagen (DEN), / Galatasaray (TUR)
I think this is how it will be, hard group but I see Bayern on the run here

Group B: Sevilla (ESP), Arsenal (ENG),/ PSV Eindhoven (NED), / Lens (FRA)
Seville is good best here, Arsenal to, but Lens comes from good league but not that best team, I think PSV is better

Group C: Real Madrid (ESP),Napoli (ITA) / Union Berlin (GER)/ Braga (POR),
Real is hard ball, Napoli to but tricky they need few years in CL. Not that best German team, but I hope they ends 3th

Group D: Inter (ITA) ,Benfica (POR), / Salzburg (AUT), Real Sociedad (ESP)
No doubt Inter is fav, but Salzburg is hard nut toe be able end 3th. Real S are not so good ,

Group E: Atlético Madrid (ESP), Lazio (ITA)(, Feyenoord (NED), / Celtic (SCO)
Good European nights in Celtic park but I say there be only 3 of them. Sad.

Group F: Paris (FRA), Dortmund (GER), / Milan (ITA), Newcastle (ENG)
Well Ger, It duels, I see that Dortmund do this time, that send Inter to tier 2

Group G: Man City (ENG), Leipzig (GER), / Crvena zvezda (SRB),/ Young Boys (SUI)
Well we will see but I think its be like this

Group H: Barcelona (ESP), Porto (POR), / Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR), Antwerp (BEL)
Ukraians are hard boys even now , they show they can bite to big teams

Atlético Madrid (ESP), Lazio (ITA)

A: Freiburg / West Ham / Olymopuacos / Fudbalski klub TSC
Another funny Serbian team and Delije will be 70% of home cround there

B: Marseille, / AEK / Ajax / Brighton & Hove Albion
Anarkist brothers in one group I hate both team fans. I hope Brighton & Hove Albion will impress but I doubt so

C: Real Bettis / Rangers / AEL Limassol / Sparta
This tike Ibrox park will see more UEFA nights I think they are best as Celtic in UEFA this year

D: Atalanta / Sporting / Raków Częstochowa / Sturm Graz
Pols will impress and good away madness, Atalanta will do good job

E: Liverpool / Union Saint-Gilloise / Toulouse/ LASK Linz
Liverpool will win whole deal if they had luck whit Spanish teams later

F : Maccabi Haifa / Panathikos / Rennes / Villareal
Jewish has good standards last year they do big thinks this is where they can do better.

G: Sherrif / Roma / Slavia / Servette
Roma is weird whit luck only they manage be second

H: Bayer / Molde / Quarabak / Häcken
Why almost always we get Danish ro Norwegian team it piss me off this time wont happen luck as in Aberdeen

Europa Conference League


Group A: LOSC Lille (FRA), / Slovan Bratislava (SVK),/ Olimpija Ljubljana (SVN), / KÍ Klaksvík (FRO)
Its be fun travel to Farao islands

Group B: Maccabi Tel-Aviv (ISR), / Gent (BEL), / Zorya Luhansk (UKR), Breidablik (ISL)
Another funy game in Iceland, maybe our friend Yaniv will travel to away game, anyway Maccabi Tel-Aviv (ISR), might be first Izreli team who wins UEFA trophy

Group C: Viktoria Plzeň (CZE), / Astana / (KAZ) /Dinamo Zagreb (CRO), , Ballkani (KOS)
BBB banned for one season to away games, sad because to Kosovo would be funny trip. I dont see Dinamo out of group here

Group D: Club Brugge (BEL), / Bodø/Glimt (NOR),/ Beşiktaş (TUR), Lugano (SUI)
Nja Bodö can suoprise again


Group E: AZ Alkmaar (NED) / , Aston Villa (ENG), / Legia Warszawa (POL), Zrinjski (BIH)
Good away support from Legia if no ban and Zrinski. Aston Villa is to well needs more UEFA games,. thats why AZ goes 1th

Group F: Ferencváros (HUN), / Fiorentina (ITA), / Genk (BEL), Čukarički (SRB)
Why this year Serbs has funny teams in UEFA? Fio after last year they underestimate, Italians are good to see to others from the high, so thats why they be 2.end

Group G: Frankfurt (GER), PAOK (GRE),/ HJK Helsinki (FIN), / Aberdeen (SCO)
One favorite. PAOK away fans ? HJK might kick some ass, it wont be easy games in Aberdeen and Helsinki, Germans and Greeks must buy winter clouths, real winter

Group H: Fenerbahçe (TUR), / Ludogorets (BUL),/ Spartak Trnava (SVK), Nordsjælland (DEN)
'Nja

Saudi Arabia want a team in the Champions League as as they plan sensational 'wild card' request to UEFA

https://www.goal.com/en/news/saudi-arabia-champions-league-wild-card-uefa/blt3f9f2cbba89a50e5

If it happens, wont be suprise UEFA wants money, but I believe many fans will leave and dont watch CL. it might be hard protests. Super league can be better idea as let Saudies here, I dont like that idea.

Now many top- tier players drafting to Saudi for $ as CR7 opened the gates to once drab-y shallowy school janitors filled Saudi club teams, so the Saudi League flexing it to mention in UEFA.

If only UEFA kept the legacy of the European league, and not succumbing to $, it would throw a different shade on the world leagues.

After yesterdays fiasco at home 1-3 against Austria said by by to hopes to go to next EC. Well there is chance if Austrian or Belgian football federation goes on bacrupcy this month , but no it wont happen, so Sweden is out.
Checked some groups seems Only Portugal and France got spot now for EC now. Rest will happen later this year.

VfB Stuttgart are on fire this season! After 5 games, and 4/5 wins, they are first in the Bundesliga table! They play really well and they've got a goal scoring machine: Serhou Guirassy, who has scored now 10 goals in the first 5 games of the Bundesliga season. Only ONE other player has done that before: Robert Lewandowski!

PS: I used to live in Stuttgart, actually. I grew up in that area as a kid. Stuttgart were never that good back then. I'm glad to see them surprising this season. I'll be following their progression eagerly

But we have seen some teams surprisingly qualify for the champions and europa league like union Berlin and Freiburg

Yes that's why to be real German champions are team what finish second, like I said my fav leuge after Primera Division Argentina are Bundesliga and then Serie A. I even prefere 2. Bundesliga and 3. To. Good level m

I mainly like watching Bundesliga games because of the atmosphere. I would really like to go and watch a Dortmund game just to experience the yellow wall, especially when they play Schalke, the atmosphere looks breathtaking. You don't get atmosphere's like that in the UK anymore.

Yes it's true, but even Saudi and Marocese football has atmosphere, Egypt as well.

What is the Swiss Model in Champions League? UEFA's new UCL format to replace group stage explained

https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/news/swiss-model-champions-league-uefa-debut-ucl-format-group-stage/a2d1e16bb0f0d24b364d4db4

I dont like it, make probably to make stronger teams to play in play off stage, because smaller teams start win they want big teams play big games. Soon CL might be as USA best of 7 even in final, we will see what sport fans say, its let down.

Yeah that is a weird change. I'll miss the old format

Yes but maybe it wont work, they might change it back. To me its more like super league, small teams will loose, but then again TV and ticket sails, big teams like Italians dont care much about tier 2 and 3 in UEFA

Well, VAR fucked up royally yesterday. Liverpool deserved to draw against Tottenham. To quote the legendary Didier Drogba: "It's a fucking disgrace."

I can't be bothered to look up statistics right now, but I know from memory that the EPL title has been decided by a single point several times in the last few decades. If Liverpool lose the title over this fuck-up, then nobody should ever ask Klopp to be calm ever again, let the man rage. I don't even like Liverpool, but I like blatant injustice even less.

Hey all! Any Arsenal FC fans here?

Not I can think of anyone here since I joined MS.

Well, Arsenal playing significantly great this year. Started well like last year, and one Group stage game won't invalidate the gameplay. I don't think losing to Lens will pinch them either as Ligue 1 15th seeder is doing great too.

On the contrary, Manchester United is shitting bricks. Losing to Galatasaray was awful. Erik Ten Fag needs to fix it before he takes an exit from Old Trafford.

Not a fan of Arsenal, but I was glad they won against Manchester City today, because the refereeing was once again atrocious and Kovacic should've been sent off in the first half. He committed a red card foul, followed immediately by a certain yellow card foul. I have no clue as to why he escaped with just a yellow card.

True, but then refereeing has gone preposterous from so many seasons. VAR often comes into a fairplay to salvage inadequate goal decisions too.

What impresses me(match against City) is Declan Rice performance as a solid midfielder. With 89% accuracy, and 3 classic interceptions, he prove to be the real asset for Arsenal.

Maybe best referee ever, after him there are not such character in referee world

Lets make a laugh about Ajax Amsterdam, no they will stay, cant win (even once I think Juventus did play back like 20 points and won ) Real Madrid had like same then came Vicente Del Boisque and saved they ass from relegation.

I Germany seems 1. FC Köln will leave the top boys

Even this year 2. Bundesliga is whit historic and good teams and seems Schalke 04 goes down to 3. Liga. Fymann does Schalke 04 has so bad whit money, does coal mines dont make you cash anymore?

St. Pauli, Förtuna Düsseldorf, HSV, Holsten Kiel, Hannover, Herta Berlin, Schalke, Hansa Rostock there are 2 + 1 spot , nja
I hope Dynamo Dresden will come up

In France , Lyon looks bad , might go down. (even they can save they ass many games left)

Copa Libvertadores de America huh
I dont like that there are no country protections as in UEFA that in knock out stages asme country teams cant play against each other (unless its semies or draw are made that quarter final winner splay against each other)
Seems they are now smarter there, before final had 2 games, home and away, now one game in x place. Hmm I need figure out what I like best.

Boca 1-2 Fluminense in OT
I was in Boca side

Here is information about Copa Sudamericana (IN SPANISH) about next years tormenter starts at 7th march, ends at 10. october

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copa_Sudamericana_2024

One game day left in Swedish season in Allsvenskan
Today last game in round 28.
IFK Göteborg vs AIK
Boat are ''outsiders'' winner saves the ass, looser needs win or hope Brommapojkarna dont win last game

Malmö (61 points) bs Elfsborg (64 points) basically second vs 1th in last game. I hope Elfsborg dont loose, I dont want see Malmö wins

AIK vs Värnamo , AIK (depends how ends todays game) need max win, min draw to save the ass

Brommapojkarna vs BV Häcken (3th place) so I think AIK has big chances to stay

Degerfors and Varbergs BoIS FC are relagated.

Superettan (tier2) also is one game left
Västerås and GAIS Göteborg returns
Utsikten or Östers will get 3th spot depends of last game and get play in place
Bad days for Helsingborgs IF , Henke Lasson be pissed
They play at home against Draconian home town team Skövde AIK

Funny 4 last (2 goes out 2 play out) can in theory save they asses

Div 1 Norra , Boden goes to Div 2 Norra and again there will be derby IFK Luleå vs Boden

Australia opts not to bid for 2034 World Cup in boost for Saudi Arabia hopes

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/oct/31/australia-2034-fifa-world-cup-no-bid-declines-football-australia

Even I am European and Australia is down under and time zone only worst can be in New Zeeland, but that is a country what deserve world cup. I hope Aus and NZ will do 2040 big , NZ can have 4 cities, Aus rest. I am really not happy if Saudi will get it, what next Iran?

New Panathinaikos Stadium



has Pao money, has Greece money? Well since 2004 Ολυμπιακός plays in modern Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium (Greek: Στάδιο Γεώργιος Καραϊσκάκης). I remmeber derby between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos while Georgios Karaiskakis was under reconstrution, I think in Ethinkos Pireus area, it was wild.

I like Leoforus (real name Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium (Greek: Γήπεδο Απόστολος Νικολαΐδης),' its true Green, but to old and UEFA dont recognize it. I remember AEK had Nikos Goumas Stadium (Greek: Στάδιο Νίκος Γκούμας) now they play Agia Sophia Stadium . Sorry even Toumpa where PAOK dwells are better as Leoforus. Now AEK, Olypiakos has new good grounds, PAO needs it for own and UEFA games, because in Olympic stadion has no atmosphere in football, so I say yes.
