Woah, Leicester did it! :O

Can't help but feel they'll be the team everyone wants to draw in the next round though. Will probably be Real that gets them to give them an easy route to the Semis

This is UEFA, they'll rig it to get the best semis and therefore best final. There are potentially 3 German, 3 Spanish and/or potentially 2 English teams left. None of them will meet next round.



Hmm, pie.

Can't believe Leicester did it, the Sevilla result was a good result due to the outdated away goal rule.

I actually do want them to go far despite the fact they pushed out Ranieri and refused to play well for them.

Well, either they refused to play well or Craig Shakespeare is one of the best managers in the world and should take the Barca job in summer. I'm gonna go with the former.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

I know UEFA/FIFA conspiracies are all the rage at the moment, but there was an all-Spanish quarter final in each of the last 3 seasons, so them rigging it to prevent that doesn't seem all that likely. If anything them rigging it to ensure that keeps happening would seem the more likely

Oh, hush now, stop ruining my fun.

How about they'll rig it to get Real and Barcelona to the final? I like that one. Happens every year until Barcelona f it up. :)



Hmm, pie.

Wtf is City doing? I'm sure they'll score another one but sure gets harder than it should be. Monaco is great at offence though.



Mbappe will be a future star.

I know they're in the French league, but I'd say 1 Monaco team.



Bet with PeH: 

I win if Arms sells over 700 000 units worldwide by the end of 2017.

Bet with WagnerPaiva:

 

I win if Emmanuel Macron wins the french presidential election May 7th 2017.

If it wasn't for the English champions club it would have been 4 Spanish teams. English teams just suck in Europe but then when you make £80mil from just being in the premier league, they might not ever prioritise it.



Hmm, pie.

Last decade, 3 English teams made the Champions League semis 3 years on the bounce. Now Spain is dominating the European football scene, it means it's finally good at something other than tourism. Congratulations Spain!
