pete 2,499 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Do Isreali teams still play their games at home? I would imagine so, now that the war is over. I think we did well. We at least have a fighting chance of going through. We must not underrate Maccabi though they have beaten a few good teams recently. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I think it's a pretty reasonable draw for us to progress, if a little uninspiring. I would bet on PLG against Auxerre especially now Guy Rioux (sp?) is retired. Maccabi is a must win and it's probably best that it's at home to avoid any argument about safe venues. I would hope we could beat Partizan at home leaving an interesting trip to Italy for a pretty much unknown (at least to me) middling Italian team. I would be very disappointed not to progress from this group. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudbertz 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Reasonably happy with that draw, we cant under estimate any of the teams though. Thank fook we dont have Newcastle's group!! Quite glad we got Auxerre cause PLG will know all about them of course. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The draw could've been better but also could've been a whole lot worse. We play the 2 hardest games away form home I believe which is a bit frustrating. I'd have preferred to have travelled to Belgrade and Haifa rather than Livorno and Auxerre. When does the groups start? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.B. 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 We play them at home . How do you know for certain mate? I thought that it was going to be pretty complicated to work out who plays who when and where and thats why Uefa arent going to release it until around 12 o clock. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I worked it out from the info from a website which explains the format. I could be wrong or there could be complications for teams from the same country or city which change things. Here's the dates: Group stage, Matchday 1 19.10.2006 Group stage, Matchday 2 02.11.2006 Group stage, Matchday 3 23.11.2006 Group stage, Matchday 4 29/30.11.2006 Group stage, Matchday 5 13/14.12.2006 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I've just read that climatic conditions are also taken into account. The schedule I gave is the first approximation and the constraints shuffle things from there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
