Does it work like world cup where a plays b group after?

If so c group is tough but then they get weaker d group

No. In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners are seeded, and the eight group runners-up are unseeded. The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association cannot be drawn against each other.

Too much maths

Too much maths

Winners = 1 group (A-H)

Second place = 1 group (A-H)

Draw 1 team from second place group to play 1A.

Draw 1 team from second place group to play 1B.

etc, etc.

The knockout stage draw is after the group stage is complete. It looks like a week before Christmas this year. 

The games are played in Feb and March. The first legs will be played on 12, 13, 19 and 20 February, and the second legs will be played on 5, 6, 12 and 13 March 2019.

Ok you play everyone in your group twice.  I thought it was just once.  Learning. Thanks for the info. 

Yes, you play everybody in your group home and away

groups b and c are seriously tough.  d is easily the worst.  juve and real both get a walk for the whole fall...city too.

i'm officially adopting psg again for ucl this season.  big fan of draxler, mbappe, and silva.  neymar  makes it difficult but fuck it, don't like anyone else out there anywhere and it will give me more opportunity to root against the squatters.

ici c'est paris!!

Yeah--Inter is Italy's version of Arsenal.  They've got the name, but they haven't done shit in awhile.  I'm pretty ok with having them in B.

Eindhoven, on the other hand, is going to be tough.


Yes, but now Inter has added Laurtaro Martinez.

This isn't the Inter of the last 5 years, esta versió es mejor.

Groups A-D play on 18 September, 3 October, 24 October, 6 November, 28 November, and 11 December

Groups E-H play on 19 September, 2 October, 24 October, 7 November, 27 November, and 12 December

You will need to check the groups for the matchups, because they not the same across each group (in fact I think they are done in a way such that teams from the same countries that play on the same day don't both play home or away the same day).

The Champions League final could soon be played in New York city, according to a prominent broadcaster.

Jaumes Roures, chief executive of Barcelona-based television company Mediapro, has confirmed discussions are ongoing about staging European football’s showpiece outside of the continent for the first time.

Roures told Catalunya Radio’s ‘El Mati’ show, “Talks are ongoing investigating the feasibility of hosting a future Champions League final in New York City.

Dumb. And will likely never happen. Hey USA: you want a great soccer final? INVEST SOME FUCKING MONEY IN OUR OWN LEAGUES.

Or have petrostates do it

As bad as fox was, the new streaming platforms are worse.  Fuck TNT.

I think TNT does a good job producing their sports programming. I bet they iron out the kinks pretty quickly. 

I do not like that they only have one channel and force us into watching B/R Live when our team isn't playing. Put the other game on TBS, FFS.

Yeah, my complaint is less about the quality of the programming and more about the lack of access to the programming.  It doesn't matter how good the stream or announcers are if they only show one game and I can't get the B/R Live app to work because TNT online somehow works with my cable provider but the B/R app doesn't.

I'm reading that the B/R app is pay only even if you have a cable/sat TNT subscription?  That's some bullshit.  Especially since Turner is only showing one group game per window instead of Fox's two and they aren't showing any Europa games.

That's what it told me too. Fuck that.
