Date: 28-07-2006, 00:10 | It would be fair put French team in Northern group, so Norwegian teams would be unseeded and Israelian teams seeded in Southern league. In this way all the seeded team have better coeffient than unseeded ones. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 00:15 | French teams in North is very unlikely, so the last seeded team will be either Beitar or Young Boys: Beitar hopes that the French teams will be in Central. Young Boys hopes that the French teams will be in South. |

That would give us good chance to progres to Champions league  And I can assure you all that I and my fellow compatriots would not mind at all if the quality of northern or central group was raised by puting French teams there. We are not eager to have them in sothern group.  |

Date: 28-07-2006, 00:45 | Uh, uh Galatsaray. I like it! I believe that Red Star would have a decent opportunity to qualify for CL GS if we face turkish team. And especially, I dislike Sasa Ilic, former Partizan captain, now one of key players for galatsaray. And I wouldn't recommend you to wear Partizan scarfs, my friend. You will be beaten in Belgrade, even without wearing them. And just to remind those who don't remember-17 years ago Red Star and Galatasaray met in UEFA Cup. Red Star were easy winners 2:0 in Belgrade and 1:1 in Turkey. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 02:16 | @ron- One of my favourite players.  @jessica alba You must understand my desire for Red Star to avoid few clubs that are among top 10 in Europe, but are now in 3 rd QR, like Milan, L'pool Arsenal, Valencia or Ajax. Therefore, I would like to watch the game against Galata in Belgrade in two weeks. And I'm not underestimating your team. And Galatasaray would most probably win in aggregate score, but we would have right to hope that we could perform a miracle. Against Milan it simply doesn't happens. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 11:06 Edited by: STK at: 28-07-2006, 11:10 | @Marko_Bgd, Aainst Milan it simply doesn't happens. Why not? In how many game in CLQR3 do you saw Milan playing? You look to that big coefficient and you say ... Wow! This is not real it is a fake. Everything that is over 100.00 is Italy's contribution, another 30-40 points is like an effect of guanrantated games by UEFA agains weak opponents. Of course i expect the draw and to see Milan's opponent, but i a wild guess tells me that 50% from the unseeded opponents will sent Milan in UCR1. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 11:32 | @STK Have I mentioned the reasons why I believe that there's no way to win in two games vs. Milan? I don't think so. Milan simply has to play CL GS, and not solely GS, but at least CL semifinals. You should realise that they are ready to do anything necessary on pitch and outside of it to go through. And even if Red Star somehow manage to play magnificient football(which will not happen) there will be a penalty in 88-th minute for "rosso-neri". And that's the main difference between western and eastern club-the club from Serbia will never have referee on their side. And, even without that kind of aid, Milan is far better than Red Star and I'm not told that by their coefficient, but by performances that Red Star shows! And to conclude, I wish that some things will happen in next couple of weeks that will prove me wrong. And I hope that Palermo will participate in 3 rd QR CL. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 11:40 | Last year Lyon and Bayern Munchen did not manage to kick out Milan. Also in the groupstage Schalke and Fenerbahce did not manage to win from Milan. Fenerbahce is by the way the best placed non seeded team. They lost twice from Milan! Ofcourse Milan can lose, but it will be (partially) based on underestimating the opponent. Milan will be (my) favorite to any of the non-seeded teams. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 11:46 Edited by: STK at: 28-07-2006, 11:55 | Yes but a eliminatory game is something else. CLQR3 is the hardest one, like a mini-final. I'm dying of curiosity to see this teams that usual play direct in CLGS how they react over the tension in CLQR3. Maby i've exagerated with 50% but are still few. It would be nicer to see Milan unseeded playing agains other half, but of course the his coeff do not allow this, unfortunately. @Marko_Bgd, yes puted this way is more reasonable to wish to avoid teams like Milan. This is a common fear alonside small countries all over Europe. I've tried to mention before some negative effects of this direct admission in CL groups. Some teams learn the taste of CL games, and there are like a drug afterward, they'll do anything in their power to get it. When a teams find unacceptable not to play in CL, finacialy speaking, then bad things are happening, of course hard to proove only theories |

Date: 28-07-2006, 11:51 | STK, I agree it's different from GS, but not from k-o phase(Lyon & Munchen). There is a factor in it that they MUST win due to their coefficient, which puts pressure on them, and the factor of underestimating the opponent. Juventus lost recently almost to Djurgarden in Q3 (wasn't there some bribery phonecalls in the process about this????). So indeed it is possible. And there are quite some teams that on a good day (2 days actually) can kick out Milan if they do not play like they should. Kiew and Celtic were also kicked out last year not without a reason: 'weak' teams are getting stronger!! |

Dinamo Zagreb got unlucky, so did Steaua because standard is a tough team. Levski can pass but Chievo wont be easy either. Liverpool i suppose will make an appeal to play in cyprus and Hearts get away with an easy draw. Aek is not what it use to be. |

You'll see it (Kiev have big troubles against Turkish teams )Galatasaray Vs Mlada Boleslav (most probably) and Fenerbahe Vs Dynamo (most probably), I think that's a very good draw for the 2 turkish teams, I give 70 % to GS and 60 % to Fb to enter CL. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 12:43 | Sky Sports are already discussing whether Liverpool will have to play in Israel or not. A good draw for them I think. For Arsenal it will be interesting to see how they cope with CLQR3. I don't think they ever entered at that stage before. Hearts will be happy. Not an easy game (but none are at this stage - especially for the non-seeds) but a very winnable game. The Russian teams should also be very happy with the draw. Personally, I hope both Liberec and Mlada Boleslav progress (I like to see "unfashionable" teams do well. But I would have to make Spartak and Galatasaray favourites. Galatasaray actually probably quite big favourites. I think Kurt already picked out the two best ties - at least on paper - but I think there are a lot of other very fascinating games from which both sides would feel they have a very good chance to progress. I already mentioned Spartak/Liberec and Hearts/AEK but also Levski/Chievo, Standard/Steaua and to a slightly lesser extent Austria/Benfica and Shakhtor/Legia stand out like this. The good thing about the draw to me is that a number of match-ups ensure some definite "new (or very rarely seen) faces" in the group stage. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 12:44 | Steaua has a very good draw, as there were a lot of more dangerous floaters than Standard. It is not the ideal opponent, but Steaua is the big favourite in my view. I think Crvena Zvezda, Dinamo Zagreb and Zurich/Salzburg really got screwed. Levski and Dinamo Kiev out of the seeded teams got the toughest draws. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 12:44 | I am pretty happy to see Hearts play AEK Athens assuming they dont make a mess of the second leg in Bosnia. It is one of the best ties they could have got, and it would be great to see another scottish team making the Champions League. If nothing else, the 7 or 8 million pounds they would get from it could help them compete with the Old Firm even more. |

What has Galatasaray done in the last 3 years to make it such a stong team? On the other hand, Steaua was a couple of minutes away from the UEFA Cup final just a few months ago and the team is almost the same. |

Then come Standard, Zurich/Salzburg and Austria, but still I'm very happy we were not paired with any of the first 6 teams. Against any other team I consider Steaua the favourite. |

And in my eyes steaua B is still the favourite, i totally agree. But the game two years ago, one own goal, one goal in extra time, one hit from standard liege hits the post so, very happy as steaua boekarest fan, strange to believe. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 13:10 | I never said that Steaua was on the unwanted list of the unseeded teams. On the contrary, I fully agree with this. However, I do think there are at least a few other weaker seeded teams, that were on the top of the wanted list. All in all, Steaua is stronger than Standard and should go through and I say this with respect for the Belgian runner-up, as I excpect two hardly fought battles. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 13:17 Edited by: vlad-tzepesh at: 28-07-2006, 13:22 | Dinamo Zagreb is not necessarily stronger than Standard, but I think they represent a more dangerous opponent. The summer signings have been quite impressive and a match in Zagreb is considered a nightmare because of the atmosphere created by the home fans, although from what I know Standard also has some passionate fans. And I am very happy precisely because Steaua was not paired against an opponent of similar stature, against which the chances would have been equal or Steaua would even have been a slight underdog. Instead, our opponent is a fairly strong team with European pedigree but against which Steaua is certanly the favourite. |

In this phase all the subteams want the money from the champions league, but they also want a lot of matches even after the winter. |

Date: 28-07-2006, 13:23 | Ok, i must admit that i've expected both top 5 unseeded teams to have non-top 5 opponents to have a "easiest" path to groups, but Osasuna doesn't confirm this suspicion, they got unlucky enough. Anyway, regardless the coefficients, just one top 5 clash and so many not top 5 clashes, meanig so many teams that will not enter the CL groups at the same time ... is this good? About the fact that Steaua is seen as easy target, i'm not mad a bit. It is normal like a top 5 team to want to be avoided, most of romanians want the same thing. Why this should concern us. Unfortunately Standard players and coaches won't be such as undersimative with Steaua, because the proffesional teams do not do this. Standard was a middle value unseaded team, meaning that this is nor the happiest nor the worst draw. Let the best team go in groups. And for Steaua's fans, is not better always to get the easiest opponents, because we don't look to CL like a finacial acomplisment, more like an competitional one. And i want to stay that way. |

I just love to hear how Standard is overjoyed about playing us, because we're such weak seeded team and all. This scenario works very well for me I've heard that Standard have changed about half of their team and they have a new coach. That's more good news Such changes are bound to cause problems no matter how good the new signings are. |

One thing is sure - it's going to be a though tie. Still I think we have a few things on our side: - the decisive leg is at home, in Bucharest - we have more experience in Europe (almost 40 matches in the last 3 seasons) - Standard have made many changes and we've made few changes The only thing that worries me is the fact I, of all people, am so optimistic. Maybe it's just that I have more faith in Steaua than in Romanian football as a whole. P.S. one more advantage: support from Firhill |

Bad draw for Legia! Shakhtar is to strong for Legia but... miracles can happends. They could go for Milan with fairly same chances to win. Legia seems to have a team that maybee have a chance to proceed to GS in UC but I would be surprised if they do. If they play as I saw them in last 2 games, they will be out of comp. very soon. Wisla Krakow is pleased with the fact that second match is in Krakow. I don't know so much about austrian team, but it seems to be close call in the game. Wisla have solid team and we dont expect so much of surprises as we are used to. So...no big up's for Krakow but no big down's either. Zaglebie Lubin and Lech Poznan have already shown the level of polish fotball and we don't expect from Plock to do better. Ukraine will face 2 polish teams in this years edition of EC and I can already congratulate them to good draw! Best regards to all! /Kronsky |

Fenerbahce is in the process of transfering 3 foreign players to the team, and announced total budget just for these 3 players is around 30 M $. They already have Alex, Anelka , Appiah, Tuncay, Aurelio as very key players. And 3 very strong names are about to be included to the list just before August 3rd. Dynamo is very strong with its offense and Fenerbahce has significant problems with it so far. I`m expecting to see 2 very head-to-head games and hope to see Fenerbahce qualify for the group stage. |

Against Chievo we have pretty good chance of qualifying to the CL! I think that an advantage for Levski in the qualifier is that we play the first match in Sofia! If we get a win with 1 or more goals without conceeding any, we will have a huge chance to progress! But lets not forget that this is a top 6 team from Italy, pretty solid indeed with some very good players like Pellissier, Moro and etc... so we shouldn't get too excited, at least until the end of the first leg, when we will see how both teams play! Levski are still finding their old shape from last season, and Chievo weren't even thinking of playing for the CL until 2/3 weeks ago! So things are looking pretty tigh in this clash, but I expect my team to qualify for the CL, and be the first from Bulgaria ever to enter it, since the change of the format SAMO LEVSKI!!! About the BG teams in Uefa Cup.. Cska - Hajduk I don't expect any difficulties for Cska here, and of course expect two big wins! Omonia - Litex Litex won't have any trouble to qualify for R1, a little bit hard fought win in Nicosia..... and a persuasive win in Lovech! Bnej Jahuda - Loko Sofia Here I also expect Loko to progress! The only trouble they might have is that Bnej are totally misterious team to them and in the first match they will get to know them....maybe a draw in Israel and a win in Sofia! Overall I can say that the draws were good for Levski and very good for all BG teams in UEFA I expect all of them to progress to the next rounds and LEVSKI Qualify for the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!!BALGARIA NAD VSICHKO! |

Anyway good luck to all teams in the 3rd round and may the best teams win :-) |

Then again they don't look so sharp in the austrian league either so who knows. I think Spartak, Chievo, Hearts and Fenerbahce are the unseeded teams with the best chances of going through. |
