I donāt think one goal is enough.
Bodo will do it.
RSB were not impressible today, a set piece goal. Meh.
The problem is that BodĆø was much better, but scored too few. In Beograd, it is quite different.
I am not very optimistic. But itās possible certainly.

Young Boys Galatasaray been a good game.
Young Boys went 2 up, Gala brought Batshuayi on who scored with his first touch, then scored again with maybe his 5th touch, almost set up Icardi with an acrobatic attempt. Young Boys awarded one of those really harsh pens youāll only see in UEFA competitions, goal bound shot big deflection off Bardakciās thigh then brushes his fingertips before flying over the bar. 2nd yellow to compound his misery. Young boys score the pen.

I think this is quite clearly the devilās spawn, nothing to do with God.

I had a look and I thought it was two groups of 18 and you play 8. But no itās one massive pot of 36 and yet play only 8 teams.
Effectively trying to manufacture the best teams through.
I think my interest is even less so, need to win Iād say 5/6 of the 8 to get top 8, but if you donāt youāll make the playoff round anyhow most probably.

I hate this. I want a good underdog story. I have no interest in seeing moneybags against moneybags.

Be a bit of a distraction I guess.
Be good to get qualified before Christmas.
They have to use a computer simulation because the permutations and restrictions are so complicated that it would take forever to do it by hand. And of course, that opens the door to conspiracy theories about the simulation being weighted to produce the games they want it to produce.
