    Ajax, Porto and United. I think most of us had this in our predictions.

    Don't forget us, a Kane-Dele-less Tottenham did not seem a threat to an on-fire Dortmund.

    Thinking of probabilities, if all four English sides go through, what are the %'s that none will face one another? Since there are no restrictions anymore.

    I haven't taken a math class since JR year of high school. Does this check out?
    Hypothetical draw order:
    TOT (Ajax, Porto, Barca, Atletico, 4 out of 7 possible non-English; 57.14%) hypothetically pull Ajax
    LIV (Porto, Barca, Atletico 3 out of 5 "" ""; 60%) hypothetically Porto
    MU (Barca, Atletico 2 out of 3 "" ""; 66%) hypothetically Barca
    and then MC gets Atletico.

    Multiply those percentages together and you get ~22.6%. I am not a maths person, is that correct?

    It took me a long time though. And the reduction from 7 to 5 to 3 almost tripped me up, I was working on 4/7, 3/6, 2/5 before I got to 1/4 and I was like this just isn't right.

    nah its 1 in 35 exactly

    basically the question is how many different sets of 4 can you draw out of a group of 8

    you calculate that by doing 8!/(4!*(8-4)!) but since both the complete english and complete non-english set would be fine (as they really result in the same) you need to multiply that by 2
    edit: actually my math is off and yours is right.

    There seems to be a weird contingent of Liverpool fans who view Tuchel's successes and failures as an indictment or affirmation of Klopp's managerial credentials simply because he took over for Klopp at Dortmund.

    An anemometer should be added to VAR so the four officials that know nothing about the game can tell if Neymar was only fouled by the wind or by an actual player IMO.

    Agreed, but I am not sure what he can say in these situations. Everton is the perfect example, he cannot praise their biggest rivals and he doesn't want to throw any of his players under a bus in the middle of a title chase. Yeah the weather is ridiculous but to me I think he's just kind of fulfilling a contractual obligation in talking to the worst media on earth.

    By my reckoning, they might need at minimum two goals to have a shot. Any more than that and they have a good shot, any less and it looks less favorable.
