Administrator Stan Posted December 13, 2021 Author Administrator Share Posted December 13, 2021 I actually think Inter vs Ajax is the tie of the round. Not buying in to the PSG vs Man Utd hype. Two poor teams considering their stature - the only pull is Messi & Ronaldo. 1 minute ago, LFCMike said: Apparently they omitted Man United when Atletico got pulled out as well?

So the draw has been done completely wrong then hasn't it? I don't want a redraw because I'm happy with that, but that's what should happen really isn't it?

Don't know for sure but wonder if it was just the visuals where Man Utd were omitted on that, but not actually by the ball put in the pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 13, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 13, 2021 Every time I see something like this happen it always makes me wonder how hard it is to use a Random Number Generator with two lists. I suppose I should expect less from clubs/federations who can't protect their emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams from the same group or country can't meet in the round of 16. Therefore a draw with numbers would be not practicable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you have two lists its easy to fix the issue with regards to the other two groups. I over simplified the issue because they technically wouldnt be lists they would be a bit more complex, however the RNG would still not be as complex as UEFA is making it out to be. We've had this technology for over a decade in match-making for online gaming and that deals with thousands if not hundreds of thousands of choices. Why its failing here is a total mystery other than the fact that UEFA wants it to be "broken". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6666 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 So the random draw was even more random than expected. I don't think this has ever happened before. Are they using a whole new system or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
