City and Barcelona at 6/1 were the odds-makers favorites the last time I checked. Juve was up there though.  

The easy break down on pots from today's games:

Benfica wins they are in Pot 2
Salzburg with a win is in Pot 3
PSV Eindhoven with a win is in Pot 3
Crvena zvezda wins they are in Pot 4
BATE Borisov wins they are in Pot 4
PAOK is in Pot 3 if they win AND Benfica and Salzburg lose, otherwise they are in Pot 4 with a win.

Liverpool is in Pot 2 if Benfica loses otherwise in Pot 3
Valencia is in Pot 3 if at least one of Benfica, Salzburg or PSV Eindhoven drop their matchups
Viktoria Plzen is in Pot 3 if two of Benfica, Salzburg or PSV Eindhoven drop their matchups

 

What is Lokomotiv and how did it get in Pot 1?

FC Lokomotiv Moscow.

And I have no earthly idea what they're doing in Pot 1.

If you win your league you go in pot 1 IIRC.

At least Valencia didn’t drop to Pot 4.  I think they have turned the corner even though they lost to Espanyol last weekend.

A group with Liverpool as the 3 and them as 4 would be fucking rough.

Porto won the Primeira last year and are in pot 2, so it must have to do with the Russian league's coefficient, which also makes no sense since the Russian league is pretty trash.

 

Pot 1 is the defending champ, the Europa League champ and the champions of the top 6 countries top leagues:

#   country 13/14 14/15 15/16 16/17 17/18 ranking teams
1   Spain 23.000 20.214 23.928 20.142 19.714 106.998 7
2   England 16.785 13.571 14.250 14.928 20.071 79.605 7
3   Italy 14.166 19.000 11.500 14.250 17.333 76.249 6
4   Germany 14.714 15.857 16.428 14.571 9.857 71.427 7

For all those who've never watched the draw, it's brutal. Think "first round of the NFL draft" brutal. Pomp, circumstance, bullshit, awards, etc.

eurotrash like uefa is unbelievably effective at being horrible at this kind of stuff.  like the pregame show for the champions league final.  it is so remarkably bad that one simply cannot look away.

I agree but I also understand why they make such a big production out of it. Take out all the shit and the actual draw takes 5 minutes.

 

I also think it's more comparable to the NCAA tourney selection show vs. 1st round of the NFL draft.

Better analogy, for sure.

WTF!?!?!

TNT isn't bothering to show this.

You'd think that someone would invent a network that showed SPORTS and SPORTING EVENTS. Like a Network for "Entertainment and Sports Programming". 

We can dream.

Not even on that new subscription crap they offer?

Thanks I was just coming to post that after searching youtube for 10 minutes trying to find the ACTUAL live feed. 

The one I posted seems to be EPL focused.

ManCity v Donestsk in F

Bayern v Beifica in E

PSG v Napoli in C

Barca vs Tottenham B

Group B pretty damn tough. Damnit

Fuck man.  Spurs, Inter and the Dutch champion.  

How were Inter in Pot 4?

Group D is ass my dude

Barcelona's group is no joke. Love it. 

Real Madrid finally gets a cupcake group. 

Yeah--Inter is Italy's version of Arsenal.  They've got the name, but they haven't done shit in awhile.  I'm pretty ok with having them in B.

Eindhoven, on the other hand, is going to be tough.
