Angola already qualified in 2006. The best teams yet to qualify are Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea. Would be cool to have a surprise East African team make it.

Loads of foreign born players in Italy.

When there is a 2 division gap, the amateur team automatically hosts.

Ligue 1 teams join with the first game post winter break - meaning their first game after a 2 week break is on a terrible half frozen pitch.

There also seems to be a favouring of smaller sides, commentators (games are on state tv) are extremely pro amateurs.

Added to that, the French cup is the largest national cup in the world with a massive amount of amateur teams participating. There are some amateur clubs who have made it a speciality of theirs to be giant killers during the cup (Quevilly and Carquefou)

Is the Norwegian league stronger than the Swedish one in general ?

What’s the level of the Slovak league ? Is it comparable to Czech league ?

Important win for us. Top games by Veretout (surprise), Balerdi (surprise), Lopez (half surprise), and Mbemba (surprise this year).

Good job AEK. You’ve got a really solid team and dominated most of the game but lacked finishing in attack. Was ofcourse lovely to see such love between fans in both games.

Any mathematicians here to do the coefficient? If I’m not mistaken we should be awfully close to overtake Netherlands.

ET OUIIIII PAPA !!!

Huge game by Veretout tonight. Top of the group, never in doubt.

Penalty, OK. But extremely harsh straight red.

/u/PSGCampus Est ce que tu as le rouge + penalty contre Rennes ? Vraiment scandaleux.

Sotoca as a Griezmann replacement 😂😂😂

Bourigeaud à la rigueur. Faut pas abuser non plus, Sotoca est un gros bosseur mais n’as pas du tout le niveau international.

That’s a fan bus, not the players bus by the way.

What did El Ghazi say ? Crazy if all he did was show support to Palestinians.

Conference league isn’t that bad, Lille have a ridiculously easy group and still have to fight for their results. Don’t see Toulouse making a far run there. Lille potentially could, but not playing as they are.

Macron’s party is a centrist “start up” that recruited from the right and left establishment.

Darmanin was on the more “hard” part of the traditional right. There’s barely any space between him and the far right.

Sweden and Nordics in general used to be even bigger before. ~10 years ago big clubs from Nordics would walk over Spanish teams.

There is no foul on the keeper but a (very soft) push on the defender in front.

14/15. Confused Andorra and San Marino.
