    "They've never played in Europe. I'm not sure how they got a UEFA license."

    About the Armenian team, they exist for more than three years, but they simply relocated from Moscow to Armenia. I don't know if UEFA counts this as them being old enough to be in Europe, which would be really strange and a stretch of the rules as relocating to a new country would be basic as much as founding a new team

    Edit: Just seen I made a mistake, it's Ferencvaros who are Hungarian. Seen their strip? It's like our old one Real Betis wear. Hungary used to be the best international team (albeit in the 50s) and a groundbreaking one at that, The Magyars Golden Team, pretty sure they revolutionised the game.

    Anyway it's a fair bit back but still, the country must love football and it's kinda been left behind big time.

    Did the Armenian team move because of refugee status or some other culturally significant reason? I'd guess UEFA would maybe have to let them in?

    Are R1 and R2 not regionalised or has that been stopped?

    I think they were the first team to ever beat England at Wembley in the 50s and the pumped them good and proper. Puskas was one of the greatest players to ever put on boots.

    That would be very exciting and more balanced than the * and uneventful tournament it is turned into.

    We'll play one of the following.

    Valletta (Malta)
    FK Sarajevo (Bosnia)
    Sutjeska Niksic (Montenegro)
    Partizani (Albania)
    Saburtalo Tbilisi (Georgia)

    UEFA split the teams into 3 groups before the draw. It used to be done on a regional basis, but they seemed to have changed that over the last few years..

    Just seen the 3 group's..

    We have by far the easiest group..

    The other seeded group's could've seen us drawn against Romanian or Polish champion's..

    We won't have trouble with any of these..

    Sutjeska Niksic as I'll be in Montenegro at the time, all of these will be * boiling temperature wise.

    We'd get a good welcome in Sarajevo:

    Looking at the other groups it would be nice to see Astana play Cluj and Zvezda v Ferencvaros. Don't want Astana again if we advance

    So we want the Romanian or Polish champion's to knock out seeds this early, don't we?

    Would make our route easier..

    I thought that, but I think they've changed it up this year. I think it's this

    Tue - CL QR1, EL QR1
    Wed - CL QR2, EL QR2 (Champions), EL QR2 (Main)
