St Pat's 1 širok needs to actually show up in Europe after that total embarrassment against Olimpija last time. They’ve beefed up the squad and looked solid in preseason—plus, they're at home. In European play, they usually only stumble against absolute giants like Beşiktaş or Hapoel, yet somehow they drew the toughest seed in their group.
The Irish side looked completely lost against IBV last round—just struggling to find any rhythm at all—with only 5 wins in their last 12 matches. Their only saving grace is that they're match-fit, but honestly, that won't save them tonight playing in that intense heat.
The odds are too good to pass up.
Rosenborg - some Kazakh club hend 0-11
I don't think there's much point in overanalyzing this one. Rosenborg always takes Europe seriously, especially when they're facing a debutant. It's their first home game and they'll be looking to wrap this up early—they'll probably just send a B-team for the away leg. I'm calling it a 5-0.

Casey White13 knocked this out ages ago—as soon as the assignment landed on his desk—so we just had to fix up those accent marks, and now we've finally added the stuff for the Euro transition.
Anthony Jackson2 said:I'd probably jump on that too—especially after seeing what Ronald Hall and you have in the works—but I've got two midterms next week and a term paper due by Friday 🤦
Honestly, if you’re actually down for this, I'll hand over the "death squad" to you 🍿
Prika, you aren't the only one drowning in coursework at this university.
Almost there—just waiting on the final rosters to drop, though I’ve got a pretty good feeling about which players are getting cut. The Czechs have four keepers on their 24-man squad, so one of them is definitely headed home. 😬
BTW, I’ve got six intro posts lined up—one for each group. The first one covers the stadiums and the schedule, and the last one will be a quick wrap-up.
Anyway, man—did you actually change "Johnny" to "Jonny"?
I think we should drop the PDF by May 25th—give us two weeks before the tournament starts—and just kick off a "Preseason Friendlies" or maybe a "Road to the World Cup" thread at the same time. Honestly, I’m losing my mind here, so I’ve already started obsessing over the Polish squad... what a massive buildup for that June 2nd matchup against Andorra at the biggest stadium in the country 🤣 🙏. Oh, and naturally, we'll need a dedicated "World Cup Chaos" topic too.
Let's aim to have the group draws out by May 31st at the latest.
I haven't even touched the NBA in like 50 days—and then I go and bet big on Philly and Portland. I figured Portland was fighting for that 5th or 6th seed, so a win against a basement dweller should’ve been a lock, right? Then I actually look at the standings. 🤣
Seriously though, do you guys think this is salvageable?
