Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread Braga possible opponents Leverkussen Marseille CSKA Moscow Red Star Grasshoppers Vitória Setúbal possible opponents Feyenoord Sevilla Basel Dnipro Sampdoria Vitória Guimarães possible opponents Stuttgart AZ Alkmaar Wisla Osasuna Steaua Sporting possible opponents Strasbourg Halmstad Xanthi Brann Anorthosis P.S. IMO the best for our teams would be the teams in bold...
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread Draw about to start: Braga grouped with the following seeded teams: Leverkusen, Marseille, CSKA, Red Star Belgrade (Crvena Zvedva) and Grasshoppers. Setúbal: Feyenoord, Sevilla, Basel, Dnipro, Sampdoria Guimarães: Stuttgart, Alkmaar, Wisla, Osasuna, Steaua Sporting is seeded and has as possible opponents: Strasbourg, Halmstad, Xanthi, Brann, Anorthosis
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread They got a break. The rest of the seeded teams in their group were all good.
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread Having a Polish player on the team will come in handy after all. He will know a lot more about this team than the rest of Guimarães staff.
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread Sporting will face Halmstads - okay, but could've been much easier.
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread Braga vs. Red Star Setúbal vs. Sampdoria Guimarães vs. Wisla Sporting vs. Halmstads I think only Setúbal has less than a 50-50 chance. And Red Star, as seeded team, is definitely in for a nasty surprise.
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread Braga has a strong team and will definitely give Red Star a run for their money. Of the three non-seeded squads, I would be very disappointed if not one of them advanced to the group phase of the competition.
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread Halmstads will be easy for Sporting, some years ago Sporting crushed them 6-1 at home and i think they aren´t playing good on their league. About the others Braga-Red Star 50/50 Vitória de Setúbal-Sampdoria 30/70 Vitória de Guimarães- Wisla 50/50 Sporting-Halmstads 80/20
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread Poor V. Setubal got shafted on this draw. I don't think they stand a chance. Sporting, Braga and V. Guimaraes should go thorugh.
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread V.Setubal has the worst match up. That sucks. All the other ones are accessible to Braga, Sporting and Guimaraes. I have confidence that Braga, Sporting and Guimaraes will be able to get to the group stages of Uefa. Vitoria is not as strong as the team that won the cup last year. They lost alot of quality players.
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread Setubal might surprise a few of you...in particular I hope they surprise the Italians... This will be an interesting game to watch...The team that plays attacking soccer, will be the team that wins... Sampdoria typical Italian team...11 players behind the ball...
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread Sampdoria is a quality Italian Side. Unfourtenatly, Setubal lost their best players and stand no chance. Hopefully they could pull it off but Portuguese teams in General do poorly vs Italian Team. I remember a few years ago Setubal go slaughtered 6-0 by Roma in the UEFA cup.
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread This Sampdoria side is not Roma of a few years back...should be interesing to see if they play attacking soccer or lay back. Since Setubal play the same style it makes for an interesting game.
Re: UEFA Cup Draw Discussion Thread Setubal lost too many players to compete. If they had last yers players, then i'd feel they had a shot but not now.
