UEFA Champions League

If Benfica hold on this goalie deserves some CL bonus.

The heavyweights are all in Pot 2. Looks like they got the pots mixed upā€¦

Anyway Iā€™m pissed. The CL in Australia has switched streaming services again. Bastards. How many fucking sports services does a man have to subscribe to.

Yeah the optus deal was really too good to last!

Soā€¦ did Sherif make it in the end? :wink:

One of Kloppā€™s old acquaintances, David Wagner (formerly Huddersfield manager during their time in the PL), made it to the group stage with his new club Young Boys. Thatā€™s a nice success for him already. :+1:t2:

Wagner is best friend and best man also.

It would be nice to see them pitched together in the group stages! :smiley:

Sheriffs are taking a 3-0 lead to Zagreb tonight.

Didnā€™t know Wagner is with Basel now, good for him. Think the English football didnā€™t suit him.

If I am honest getting Huddersfield up to the PL and keeping them there is a minor miracle.

They arenā€™t a Swansea (Since the Americans came in) or Bournemouth who have additional funds being funnelled in.

He exceeded anything expected there and will remain a hero to the fans.

As @mattyhurst said, he worked wonders with Huddersfield, a club without noticeable ressources. To have them promoted was already a minor miracle, and then to keep them up a season was nothing short of a heroic achievement. Afterwards, everything imploded, probably due to some good players being picked off by bigger clubs, and too many injuries hitting the too thin squad. In my book, he did really well in England.

His Schalke experience on the other handā€¦ then again, that club is a horrible thing anyway, for any manager.

Thank you @Hope.in.your.heart @mattyhurst for providing the context. And yes, Schalke was already a lost cause, wondered why he even went there.

45 minutes from the Sheriff dream becoming reality. :crossed_fingers:

Iā€™m ordering one of these.

And Iā€™ll break my lifelong ā€œno half and half scarfā€ rule if we draw them in the group stage.

Are the pots finalised now?

Fuck Donetsk levels :man_facepalming:

Shaktar are going to extra time at this point, getting rid of away goals hasnā€™t made this game any less exciting.

Some very tired legs out there.

Sheriff are through.

They are the official TAN Second Team of the UEFA Champions League.
