Vaslui's possible opponents:

I think GSP is wrong (nothing new tough) or maybe they have some inside info that Bert Kassies doesn't have...

I think GSP is wrong (nothing new tough) or maybe they have some inside info that Bert Kassies doesn't have...

Well, they were right and Bert was wrong.

Here are the pots -> uefa.com.

Possible opponents for Vaslui:

Lech Poznan (Poland)
Sturm Graz (Austria)
MSK Zilina (Slovakia)
Gyori ETO (Hungary)
Liepajas Metalurgs (Latvia)

 

why does Vaslui have such a co-eff?

 

Thanks to Romanian general coefficient

 

haha it definately will be entertaining

 

Vaslui rising to new challenges -> uefa.com.

 

2008/09 UEFA Cup second qualifying round draw
First leg: 14 August
Second leg: 28 August

Liepajas Metalurgs (Latvia) - FC Vaslui

 

They can actually qualify further

 

Vaslui could actually advance

 

It seems so, but there would still be another unseeded round before the groups.

 

yeah, right... but if they advance it'd mean co-eff points

They will be divided into 10 groups of 8 teams to make the draw.

 

whens the draw?

 

Tomorrow, 14:00 Romanian time.

 

considering our luck Rapid and Dinamo will get Napoli and Dortmund/Wolfsburg plus Ac Milan, Sevilla and Valencia for our unseeded teams.

 

I was thinking similarly: AC Milan, Sevilla and Benfica for the unseeded ones.

Close to home

 

FC Timisoara - FK Partizan (Serbia)
VfL Wolfsburg (Germany) - Rapid Bucuresti
NEC Nijmegen (Netherlands) - Dinamo Bucuresti
SK Slavia Praha (Czechia) - FC Vaslui
Hamburger SV (Germany) - Unirea Urziceni

 

Much better draw than I expected! Wow none of us got AC Milan. I think we can do well against the German and Dutch team. The problem will be with the Serbs and Czechs. I think we will falter with them!

Should be some good matches though!

 

until now only bad luck for (but of course for our best team in Uefa cup) Rapid...will be very hard but they have realistic chances.

 

Slavia Prag - Vaslui

good draw considering there was also CSKA, Stuttgart and Rennes
they also play first game away!

 

One of Dinamo/Rapid could switch venues as they're both at home in the return leg.

 

now please not Hamburg or Olympiacos for Unirea, Braga, Hapoel or Feyenord would be much easier. Until now finally a good draw for us, best draw for Vaslui and Timisoara, ok draw for Dinamo and worst draw for Rapid.

 

Wolfsburg is bad luck... but rapid should advance if they really are to be our strongest squad there

 

Hamburg :wth:

 

Boy, that's a bad draw for Urziceni...
