Better write-up on the UCL changes that will (most probably) happen in two years. http://www.espnfc.com/blog/marcotti-...y-gab-marcotti

Hapoel Be'er Sheva might be my new favourite club name. They have beer in their name!

Celtic through to the group stage. Sweet.

Celtic did their absolute best to bottle that huge lead they built up.

Sucks for Beer Sheva that one saved penalty was the difference.

Did Celtic ever make qualifying for the Group Stage difficult. A loss to a team from Israel and Gibraltar.

Would love this Ajax/Rostov match more if I didn't have to hear "the Russian Leicester" every 5 minutes lol.

Israel soccer is really bad. Maccabi Tel Aviv (much more famous for their basketball) made the CL last year and got the snot kicked out of them in the group stage.
