Today’s Football - 2024/25 Season

So in the end not a single big club was knocked out in the group stage.

Mission accomplished. $$$£££

Was that a real thing? I didn’t even see that. Weird if so.

Yeah. Grim.

Must say, i was a cynic to the Swiss model, and whilst it has flaws... I found the process to be enjoyable in all 3 leagues so far.

Does it benefit the bigger clubs? Maybe? But I've seen Brest, Lille, Sporting and Celtic qualify... would they normally have done so?

The ability to play 2 sides from the same pot, I feel only benefitted them. Perhaps in a non "freak" year where Brest, Girona & Bologna all qualified from the "big" leagues it'd be less skewed, but i enjoyed it.

All to appease the scabs and their Super league crusade - uefa are as bad as any of them.

Well yeah a lot of teams will qualify when you let 24 teams into the knockouts

Villa were good. Could have easily scored about 7.

No problem with it, personally.

It's not like it's worked out as if it's a load of fodder versus quality and they're boring games

City vs. Real/Bayern

Could end up with

PSV Vs. Feyenoord
Juve vs. Milan
PSG vs. Monaco

QF could lead to

Inter - Milan
Bayer - Bayern
PSG - barca/Liverpool
Real - Atletico

Just think it couldn't have worked out better for UEFA.

I see Rooney sacked an immediately back on The Overlap as a host talking about wanting to return to management.

Face it mate you’re not cut out for it. Stick to the chippy.

I much prefer this diva-superstar-less PSG team. Just a bunch of talented kids now with a few veterans.
