    It's certainly not Leicester's but I'm not upset and would put a whole $5 on us progressing.

    Group E definitely the most wide open. could see any combination of those four advancing.

    Leicester got so lucky, should advance. I like Real's group as well, a tough team to test them early.

    Seeing twitter comments about cities to visit and Leicester's group seems even better. Porto, Bruges and Copenhagen! I guess as an American fan we never think about traveling to new cities as part of the draw.

    Perhaps the butterfly effect would have stopped it but Roma really fucked themselves by missing out on the group they would have been in.

    LC's group was probably their best case scenario and they got it.

    You won a match in Eastern Europe 5-0 a week ago. I think you would have been okay regardless.

    Not the best case but a pretty good draw. I think you'll get out and will have a chance to win it
