The Official 15/16 UEFA Champion's League and International Club News Thread
Time for this thread to pop up as the new season is nearly upon us!
PSG is looking to buy Di Maria but Bayern are also in the mix.
Quote:
Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has reiterated his side's interest in signing Angel Di Maria, but hinted that they will face competition from other clubs if the Argentina winger decides to leave Manchester United.
Bayern Munich are also rumoured to be tracking Di Maria's uncertain situation at United, with Blanc predicting there would be plenty of potential suitors if the 27-year-old opts to move on this summer.

Is that 40 match tickets or the rights to buy tickets?

40 match tickets. If you apply for them and win, you automatically get charged.
We all applied for 4 tickets to 3 matches to maximize our chances of getting enough for all of us and we obviously over estimated how hard it would be to get the tickets.
Now we have a #### ton.
We will be waiting to see what teams we end up seeing and decide our plan from there. It'd be crazy if we got Poland.
We're only going to one match as this is part of a bigger trip (also a wedding).

Still can't fathom how Wales were a #1 seed. Group D is pretty average.

Austria finally with a bit of luck in those draws. Wales, Serbia and Ireland are decent teams, but under normal circumstances that's a very doable group for us to win.

it's because the FIFA rankings really favor recent matches and in the past year they have beaten Belgium (ranked 2) and tied Bosnia (were 14th I think at the time) and Belgium (ranked 5 at the time)
http://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranki...men/index.html
that shows it, they gained 818 points last year the most of anyone

Was thinking the same thing from an Irish pov. That group is probably the weakest and most open.

If Poland plays like they have been this Euro qualifying they could realistically win this group. No clear cut favorite, that's for sure.

Looking forward to France-Netherlands. Two countries that surprisingly don't play each other very often.

Dont know if this was posted anywhere:
Quote:
Manchester United have reportedly had a record bid turned down by Bayern Munich for their 25-year-old, do-it-all forward, Thomas Muller.
The paper is claiming that Louis van Gaal and Co. have offered €100 million (£69.5 million) for Muller but the Bavarian giants have already rejected that bid.

it's BS on many levels.
1) Sport1 isn't a paper, it's a German TV channel
2) Bayern will obviously not sell another player to United
3) Rummenigge already denied that United made the bid and said the reports were nonsense
