I think there are 105 possible draws and in 45 of them we have Bayern-Barca, Barca-Real or Real-Bayern.
Edit: Why did you put the 8/8 in there? You wanted to make it more intuitive? I dont really see the intuition behind it, could you please explain (maybe with a PM)?

Hasn't anyone noticed how Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern make the quarterfinals every year and they NEVER draw each other in this phase? lol, suspicious at the very least.
I agree, its also funny that Chelsea, PSG and City often play against each other or against Barca, as if UEFA doesnt want them to go far. On the other hand UEFA did a bad job protecting Barca/Bayern by drawing them against Atletico/Juve. There wouldve been many easier opponents for Bayern in the round of last 16. Its funny that Bayern had to eliminate the strongest team in the round of last 16 (Juve) and now Barca has to eliminate the strongest team in the quarterfinal (Atletico), as if they planned it before, so that every big club has almost the same chances. I think UEFA would always like to have a semifinal with Bayern, Barca, Real and City/Chelsea/PSG.

USA won the SheBelieves Cup with 3 wins against Germany (2:1), France (1:0) and England (1:0). Germany finished second with 2 wins against France (1:0) and England (2:1). Our loss against USA was pretty unlucky, especially the 2nd goal, but still a good result, considering that we played without 7 of our best players. Somehow France doesnt know how to beat us, although they are the better team. I dont think anyone can challenge USA in Rio. I would say Germany, France and maybe Brazil/Australia fight for the other 2 medals.

The Netherlands had a huge chance, but just threw it away ...
Olympics without Japan and the Netherlands will be pretty boring. The swedish team is really boring, the dutch team at least showed some improvements in the last couple of years and they couldve surprised in Rio. I guess France is the only team that could stop USA from winning gold in Rio, but they always mess up in big games, so i am not very optimistic.

A golden age of Nadeshiko (Japan women's national team) came to an end
In last 8 years, Nadeshiko won world cup(2011) and placed in 2nd(2015), in olympic games silver(2012) and 4th place(2008), won Asian cup and Asian games gold for the first time and never missed podium in Asian competition . I admire these achievements and hope gets back to the top group of the world soon .
It's a little disappointing and unexpected that all matches in Asian qualifier on tomorrow will be only "practice" ones .
I am shocked that you didnt qualify, what happened? Did your team play bad football, did you have any injuries or bad referee decisions?
I predicted Japan to win a medal in Rio, but now your elimination will improve our chances for a medal.
I think your team will come back strong at the next world championships, this is for sure not the end of glory for your womens football team.

It would be cool if the Netherlands could qualify. They will probably qualify all teams on the womens side except womens rugby/basketball and maybe womens football.
