Take the scenario below Team A Team B Team C Team D In a normal draw, you should be able to have 3 game combos: AB/CD, AC/BD, AD/BC However, assume that team A and team B are from the same country, and C and D also share nationality. No you can have only the following: AC/BD, AD/BC You've eliminated a combo pair. The silly rules that prevent teams from same group and country drawing each other leads to restricted options. This coincidence is far more likely than, say, the end of the world happening today. Remember 4 Spanish teams could not face each other. Those 4 Spanish teams then could not face the teams they played in Round 1. Already, your options are diminishing quickly.

Cakar also believes that UEFA General Secretary, Gianni Infantino (the bald fella who always presents the draws) also plays a part in this deception – with Cakar accusing him of suspicious hand movements while the draws take place, with the Italian seen to be moving a lever beside the pot of balls during last week’s draw. Suspicious, indeed.
😆 Infantino has a Rube Goldberg machine on stage.
Blimey, Steve Mcmanaman looks rough in that pic.
I've seen hobos with better skin.
Kluivert's slowly turning into muhammad Ali
Well at least he's growing old which is more than the guy he killed in a car crash will.
