UEFA Europa League group stage draw

 

 

Group D: Zenit (RUS), AZ Alkmaar (NED), Maccabi Tel-Aviv (ISR), Dundalk (IRL)

 

well, it means our Iranian player in AZ is in big big trouble, he won't go to Israel that's for sure. I don't know what he will do with the home match in the Netherlands.

He is the 3rd Iranian player facing this problem.

Well, some countries have been qualifying teams for CL since forever and their leagues haven't got much better in level (Greece, Turkey, Russia, Switzerland, Netherlands).   The only country

New format is shit. Especially that thing about historical meaning. I mean, really, Milan and Liverpool should get a spot just because they won CL 10-15 years ago? And if 4 teams are coming directly to group stage, does it mean 5th, 6th, 7th team in Spain/England will qualify for CL aualifying stages? I mean, we see that 6th team from England can't even qualify for EL, but now they should have CL spot? LOL

Milan and Liverpool don't have a spot guaranteed, but if they will qualify will have a better coefficient, thanks at the past wins (and despite poor results of  last five years). But before they will have qualify.......

The maximum number for an association remain 5 teams (4 teams + the holder of Cup, if isn't already qualified)

At least something... however I still find that historic thing unnecessary.

I think UEFA want satisfy the ECA (Association of "top" clubs), and don't want let them create a "European Championship" for top clubs, tournament closed with invited (is the "dream" of ECA....)

Due to Canada's incredible performance in Rio, FIFA has now ranked our women's team 4th, their highest ranking ever.  It is also the highest point gain in women's football history!  They also beat #2 Germany and #3 France in Rio.  

 

Sinclair carried the team for years, but actually in Rio 7 of the members were under 22 years old.

I'm actually a big fan of Canada women's team since 2012, I remember watching one of the most exiting football matches I ever seen at the London Olympics Semifinal! :d

I admit I was cheering for USA (wanted badly to see a rematch of the 2011 World Cup final) but I earn a lot of respect for your nations team :)  (specially for Sinclair, amazing on that match!)

What happens on this situations, if the team needs the player and he refuses to go? Will he be punished/fired? :mumble:

They need him, he is a starter there but He won't go to Israel, he will be jailed in Iran if he go. this is officially illegal and considered a crime. (I'm not even sure if Israel give him visa) I think his club understands this otherwise he is in trouble.

 

the only question is the home match in the Netherlands, since he is not representing Iran that's probably possible for him to play but I'm not sure.

I think that it's totattly ridiculus. I don't like Israeli governament but it's stupid that a football player can't work becouse if he play he'll go in jail.

I think that Israel is obliged by UEFA to give him a VISA.

      Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains.

      And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.

      Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.

      Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan.

      There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
