[quote=“briantinnion”]Doesn’t matter what the draw is really, the group stages are largely predictable and boring, the whole thing is a snoozefest until next February.
Bring back the knockout European Cup.[/quote]
Even more of a snoozefest than normal with this new format that has some very poor teams in the group stages.
The group stages could be excellent if there was only 4 groups of 4 quality teams. Top 2 in each group straight into the quarter finals. I’m sure it was like this up until a few years ago?
