[adam cool dude]

Says more about your lack of football knowledge than it does the teams I’m afraid

Tbf, the only one on there that I didnt immediately know is Viktoria Plzen

When your teams not in it for so long you don't tend to recognise many teams!

Please are you seriously telling me Maccabi Haifa brings any benefit to the competition rather than be whipping boys for pot 1&2?

With the way we're playing at the moment, we'd probably fail to beat them

We were in it last season so yeah......

They earned their place, so they deserve to be there.

Anyway, you said you had to Google the teams. Surely you knew who they all were?

 

[Tombstone]

I really wish they wouldnt bother with all this other nonsense, just start the draw, pull out all the balls and finish. All this fluff around it.

The Czech and Israeli teams yes. The rest I knew.

 

[Shamikebab]

Surprised you've never heard of them, we've even played Haifa before. Plzen have been in the CL for quite a few years now too.

 

[C Kent]

The Czech and Israeli teams yes. The rest I knew.

Given your lack of football knowledge across Europe you won't know any of the teams you'll be playing in European competition then

That was a long time ago! I was still in school!

 

[Tombstone]

Sods law that Liverpool will have to face Mane and Dortmund will have to face Haaland

 

[Shamikebab]

That was a long time ago! I was still in school!

You don't remember things that happened while you were in school?

Apologies that I have a life and don't follow every European league going.

 

[Tombstone]

Juventus and PSG...noice

 

[adam cool dude]

Obviously that is a silly question. You can recall 100% every day you were at school?

Can you remember every game from say the 18/19 season? If you say yes you are lying. You are asking me to remember a team that was so insignificant that we played 20 years ago. lol
