If so c group is tough but then they get weaker d group No. In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners are seeded, and the eight group runners-up are unseeded. The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association cannot be drawn against each other.

Too much maths
August 30, 20187 yr Just now, midtown said: Too much maths Winners = 1 group (A-H) Second place = 1 group (A-H) Draw 1 team from second place group to play 1A. Draw 1 team from second place group to play 1B. etc, etc.

The match weeks are set, but they are either Tuesdays or Wednesdays. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018–19_UEFA_Champions_League_group_stage The knockout round gets drawn mid-January and games begin mid February.
August 30, 20187 yr Oh you mean the group stage games. The dates are set: The matchdays are 18–19 September, 2–3 October, 23–24 October, 6–7 November, 27–28 November, and 11–12 December 2018. Matchups are being determined now.
August 30, 20187 yr Everybody plays in each match day set. Half the groups on that Tuesday, half on Wednesday. You play six games by mid December so nobody gets the Napoleonic Russia treatment.

Eindhoven, on the other hand, is going to be tough. Yes, but now Inter has added Laurtaro Martinez. This isn't the Inter of the last 5 years, esta versió es mejor.
August 31, 20187 yr Groups A-D play on 18 September, 3 October, 24 October, 6 November, 28 November, and 11 December Groups E-H play on 19 September, 2 October, 24 October, 7 November, 27 November, and 12 December You will need to check the groups for the matchups, because they not the same across each group (in fact I think they are done in a way such that teams from the same countries that play on the same day don't both play home or away the same day).

Yeah, my complaint is less about the quality of the programming and more about the lack of access to the programming. It doesn't matter how good the stream or announcers are if they only show one game and I can't get the B/R Live app to work because TNT online somehow works with my cable provider but the B/R app doesn't.
September 18, 20187 yr I'm reading that the B/R app is pay only even if you have a cable/sat TNT subscription? That's some bullshit. Especially since Turner is only showing one group game per window instead of Fox's two and they aren't showing any Europa games.
