Batman 0 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Porto being booted out has not made any big difference. Vitoria SC now automatically go into the group stages to replace Porto, so we now need 2 out Liverpool, Arsenal, Barcelona, Juventus, Benfica and Shalke to fail at the qualifying stages and this is very very unlikely as they are all seeded. This is all presuming we ourselves qualify which is no guarantee as most the teams below are good teams and we could face any one of them in our last qualifying round! Atletico Madrid Sparta Prague Dinamo Kiev Levski Sofia Slavia Prague Galatasaray Partizan Belgrade Dinamo Zagreb Wisla Krakow Standard Liege FC Twente Enschede Artmedia Bratislava AaB Aalborg SK Brann Bergen Rapid Vienna We also have to play 2 qualifying rounds, but the first round should be ok as the teams we could face are below, although I wouldn't want to face either Gothenburg, MTK Budapest or Dinamo Tbilisi (Champions of Georgia...very very hard away game). NK Domzale Beitar Jerusalem MTK Budapest IFK Gothenburg Anorthosis Famagusta Tampere United Dinamo Tbilisi FK Ventspils Rabotnicki Skopje FK Modrica FBK Kaunas Sheriff Tiraspol Drogheda United Valur Reykjavik Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davo1985 0 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 and for sure Celtic will get a jammy group again ..they always forget they didn't get to the last 16 on their own steam they had to rely on Donetsk winning the last game in their group they still got their but m8 so it dosent matter. we had to rely on a result with porto and artmedia going the right wae to qualify so does that mean we didnt deserve to get to last 16 eithers ? dosent matter how yi get their its as long as yi get their.
