Poll Europa League Semi-Final

[dee]

We'll get Sevilla, Villareal or Shaktar Donetsk.

I'd prefer Sevilla given their recent results.

Away first naturally!

!

Interesting prediction. Care to make it interesting?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Not scared of any of them. Bring it on.

 

[Oncy]

Shaktar are the best team left in it so id rather face them in the semi rather than one off final.

 

[Woland]

Sevilla. Just coz we're gonna beat whoever we get so we might as well go and get drunk in a pretty town.

 

[Roopy]

Not sure who I want.

Villareal - a very well drilled team, probably the side I would want to avoid out of the 3.

Sevilla - not as good as they have been in the past, but still getting the job done - Uefa Cup/Europa specialists it seems.

Shakhtar - I'd prefer to play them ... tricky away tie though.

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Sevilla, they are nothing without their main man, Albert Brown.

 

[rurikbird]

I would prefer Shakhtar. Not just because they are my former favorite team, but because I think their style suits us the best. Spanish teams will be tougher.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Avoiding a Spanish side is best.

 

[DHSC]

Avoiding a Spanish side is best.

So Shakhtar, then?

The Sevilla keeper looks proper dodgy. They do the Barcelona thing in goal - the other keeper Rico starts the league games and also the CL group stage games while this chap, David Soria, starts the EL games and some of the Copa games. Sevilla did drop Soria once they reached the semis of the Copa though, so they'll probably do the same here.

 

[Hansern]

Shaktar would be best. The away tie is a bitch though.
Both Villareal and Sevilla are very good teams and will be tough.

I think we'll get Sevilla.

If say the winners of the CL and Europa League were from the same league but both (winners) finished outside top 4, would that mean those that finished in 3rd and 4th then fail to qualify for Europe?

 

[mom]

Couldn't care less. We just smashed the favourites out off the competition. Three more games and this baby is ours.

If say the winners of the CL and Europa League were from the same league but both (winners) finished outside top 4, would that mean those that finished in 3rd and 4th then fail to qualify for Europe?

For example, say City and us won the CL and EL respectively, and both didn't make the CL cut through the league. If I understood the rules correctly, it works out like this:

3rd place team -> CL group stage
4th place team -> EL group stage
CL winners (City) -> CL group stage
EL winners (us) -> CL playoffs (i.e. the round before group stage)

Thankfully, we just need to win the EL and City will take care or their own CL elimination so we don't have to worry about unraveling all this mess.

Well, to be fair, Shaktar are playing their home games away anyway.
