Oh fuck off Maccabi. No, I'm not antisemite (I'm Jewish myself), it's just so fucking far away to go for a CL group match. And someone please explain to me again why Israel is in all European competitions when it's in fucking Asia ffs.

We're trying to win a football competition, not going on a fucking sightseeing tour of Europe.
Got Porto, Shaktar, and Haifa. Yes please.
I'm super excited for this. I'm down for us to play anyone* as it will be great for the club overall no matter what. Would love to draw Barca, RM, PSG, Inter, etc. A deep run would be nice, but seeing your team play matches against the top sides makes the most special moments which are what this game is all about!
*The only club I'd rather not face is Bayern as they just don't have much competition domestically and always seem ready to play their very best, fully rested squad in CL play. We also played them recently too and did poorly :/

In the CL I've seen us play Inter, AC Milan, Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Leipzig, PSV and Ajax so in big European team bingo I'm missing Napoli, Roma, Atletico, PSG and maybe the Portuguese teams to fill the card.
PSG probably biggest team I haven't seen so to get them in the group stage would be good. Not going to be many more chances to see Messi even though he isn't what he was.

Last time we played against Messi he absolutely molested us, fucking us up the arse without any lube. I know he's a bit older now but nah mate.
Umm
Because Israeli players can't enter a substantial amount of countries in Asia?
Why is Kazakhstan part of UEFA? Or Armenia\Georgia\Azerbaijan? Greenland? flight to Greenland is the same distance as Tel Aviv and it's another continent.
What exactly is Europe here? is UK post-Brexit part of Europe?
stop with the nonsense
Milan, sporting and Celtic for me
Milan because I love san siro (although old now) and I think we’d beat them
Sporting as I’ve never been to their ground
Celtic because my family are mainly Scots and Celtic fans

When Israel was still in the Asian Football Confederation they e.g. won the 1958 World Cup qualifying stage without playing a game as muslim states rejected to play against them. In the Asian Cup hostes by Israel 11 team did not participate. That all started the process. There really is no other option even today - would not be safe.
Are Forest in the draw? Reading their forum, they should be.
I used to like you. :contefacepalm:
I'd want:
Milan, Sporting Lisbon, Hamas (aka Maccabi)
Nightmare:
Bayern, Napoli, PSV

To be fair being Jews we don’t have a dog in the fight religion wise
Was just a choice my gramps made growing up in Glasgow and filtered through the family
The clamour to draw these scots clubs is not one I can engage with
It’s got trouble written all over it
Well… bit of both
