Europa League 2020/21 - Round of 16: Dinamo Zagreb (CRO)

Setting aside distances to travel and just focussing on the football side of things, some of the potential opponents where it could have been hostile atmospheres are probably a lot more benign in empty stadiums. For example, the Croats and Serbs in pot 2. Similarly Rangers in pot 3 would have been a lively affair in a full Ibrox

Main team which I'd want to avoid is Milan given that whilst they're not what they used to be, they're probably much stronger than the other pot 3 teams meaning we'd need to field a stronger team against them

Ibrox would be reasonable, celtic Park is a cauldron though, especially against an English team.

Having been to both myself to watch games I’d say there is nothing between them atmosphere wise... just a lot of rage and hate

I work in Glasgow a lot and football up in your part of the world is never far from any convo

I'm just glad we can't get Celtic in the group stage and hopefully we'll avoid Rangers but there are some big teams there I'd like to avoid like Feyenoord and AC Milan.

Now they squeezed through on pens you can guarantee we will get AC Milan, unless the Jose factor can see us get a reasonable draw, the likes of which we know Arsenal will get

Let's hope it's not Real Sociedad, AC Milan and Lille! We'd struggle in that group without using the first team.

Would love Standard Liege, Rangers and Dundalk! Keep the travels short but still some big but winnable games!

These UEFA draws are painful....

These UEFA draws are painful....

Cringeworthy would be vastly understating it

Cringeworthy would be vastly understating it

They make the EU look like the epitome of efficiency

 

[AdamB]

Thats 3 times they've said "the draw is getting ever closer but...."

[nelto]

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Thats 3 times they've said "the draw is getting ever closer but...."

GET ON WITH IT!!!!

Wake me up at 6pm it should over by then.

 

[AdamB]

Shows the stregnth of the EL that Genk and Celtic are in pot 1

 

[AdamB]

So pot 2 - team to avoid is Qarabag (we're bound to get them)

 

[Huddy]

I'll take that

 

[AdamB]

So we get Ludogrets of Bulgaria

 

[AdamB]

I'll take that

They're top of their league, 1 point ahead of Plovdiv

 

[AdamB]

Pot 3 - teams to avoid...the two Israelis and Milan

 

[nayenezgani]

It's gonna be Milan, next

 

[nayenezgani]

AZ! Not bad, should be a decent test.

Edit: Wait whoops, jumped the gun. Who the fudge are LASK?

 

[AdamB]

LASK (Austria) - that'll do
