Roma - Porto 3-0 :facepalm:It's a joke?

 

I'm a Fc Porto fan, and that was my same reaction :) 

Because current Porto is really weak (compared to some years ago), with very few good players, so everyone was already expecting Europa League this year.

I honestly think Roma would have won if not for the violent behaviour that gave them 2 red cards....

Not bad the draw (for both Cups) for Italian teams, don't need excuses this year: the qualification at Knock-out round is possible for 5 of 6 (very tough for Sassuolo)

 

PS: good news for :ITA the new format of UCL: we will back at 4 teams :clap:  

but not good news  (our teams will have few points......:cry: )

  • A new system for the club coefficients:

    -clubs will be judged on their own records (deletion of the country share for individual club coefficient unless that coefficient is lower than 20% of the association's coefficient).

I think this new system is a joke...  I mean, I undersant that it's probably more profitable for UEFA to have Roma and Inter in Champions, comparing with teams from Bulgaria, Croatia, Belgium (or even Portugal). But I see this as totally unfari to the other teams, specially because by being directly on group phase they'll guarantee a (very useful) amount of money....

About the groups, for :POR I think it's a good draw (except for Sporting, they'll go to Europa League at best), Porto has a good group, Benfica can end up in first place (if it plays like last year).

I like this new format, right now there are too many punching bags in CL.

 

But with this new format the money will allways be to the strongest league teams, which means the difference between the top 4/5/6 leagues and the remaining ones will get higher....

I understand the feeling, I also don't like to see a Champions League match ending in 6-0, but if those teams aren't allowed to go to Champions League, how will Uefa contribute to the diversification of good football around Europe?? :thumbdown:

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 that increased the level of their league over the last 20 years is Portugal I would say... and Ukraine, but in a lower scale.

 

I think other factors are more important than CL money.... economy of the country, level of investment in football, etc

    • Vittozzi- Wierer in 2019 or even some later. They are still not close friends and do not train together: Vittozzi has been training alone since last season, Wierer with the men's team for 4-5 years and the rest of the Italian team still separately - Vittozzi trained with this second group until she suffered an injury in the autumn of 2024.
    • So far, the Russians haven't even reached the Dnieper River, so don't worry. Poland has the same problem as Ukraine, in that there are no major geographical obstacles to the east: mountains, lakes, rivers, etc. The terrain is quite flat, but to reach Warsaw in a few days, the country would have to fall apart, the army would collapse and the authorities would have to escape from the country. 
    • Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.
    • What was the Italian conflict? I can't quite remember.
    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
