I call it how I see it. Napoli will advance to knockouts as long as they do not get a stacked group. Then go on to get creamed by a team at the level of Monaco or better. Roma will have to get an easy group or we will see them in Europa knockout stages.

Mazzarri's Napoli advanced from a group that also featured Bayern, City and Villarreal.

There is way too much of a difference in quality between Napoli and Nice. This is France's third best team?

the 4th best team in france ko'd the serie A runner ups last season in the EL semis.

I do not rate City in the UCL:lol::lol:

Yet you rate Monaco after one good season, after which they lost most of their best players?

Needless to say I usually don't care either way if Napoli, Roma or Juve do well, but I like Sarri and Napoli aren't the embarrassing chokers that Roma are in Europe.

Yeah Real beat them 6-2 on agg but Bayern lost 6-3, Atletico let in 4 and the "best defence in Europe" got raped 4-1.

And Napoli actually dominated Real and made them struggle for longer periods than Juve did. They'll do well this time.

Because they're shit.

They were absolute fodder last year in the competition, refereeing favours aside.

Is there a more clown club than Barca this summer? They should be removed from the competition.

About time that a team from Serie A makes it pass the qualification stage. Good for us but not so much for ladri and Roma

You forgot 2013 Milan vs PSV

The ties you are referring to weren't as lopsided as these ones though. I expected Napoli to prevail (even given Serie A's dependable ability to mess up CL qualification), but this wasn't a contest.

I expected more from Nice.

That was also Sarri's first time in the UCL. Not a bad start.

Member when Pubes and you guys liked Luis Enrique?

I like Barca's nose dive about 2% less than I love Milan's rise

Liverpool's group is genuinely Europa League quality.

I expect us to have a more difficult draw tomorrow.
