@slovak_football I don't get it. 1st - UCL, 2nd and 3rd - UECL, 4th (Zilina) - UEL, and 5, 6, and 7 go to playoff?

Once again we have an absurd situation in 🇸🇰 With 4th placed Zilina having secured Europe due to the 🏆, Michalovce and Podbrezova can increase their chances of playing in Europe by LOSING against Zilina. Is it time to rethink a format than encourages teams to lose games?

@Crash0verr1d3 @AtaqueFutbolero

@AtaqueFutbolero Para que el saque de porteria sea valido el rival no debe invadir el area.

En España se armó un revuelo gigante por ESTA MANO de Pubill NO SANCIONADA como PENAL para el Barça, después del pase de Musso… ¿Opiniones? ⁉️😳

@fmeetsdata How are those fixtures decided? Seems that worst placed Celtic got best schedule

📜 Fixtures for the last phase of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Premiership have been released (rounds 34-38). Most interesting are the venues for matches between the Top 3. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Celtic have the best schedule: 🏠 v Rangers 🏠 v Hearts 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Rangers play both opponents away: ✈️ @ Hearts ✈️ @ Celtic 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Hearts are in the middle: 🏠 v Rangers ✈️ @ Celtic ❓ We wanted to know how would the 🏆 probabilities look like if Celtic won both their home games v Rangers and Hearts? We entered two 1-0 wins for Celtic in those fixtures in our 🕹️ Simulator and simulated the other matches 20K times. 🔢 This is what we got: 59% 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Celtic 24% 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Rangers 17% 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Hearts 👉 Try out your own probabilities and hypothetical scenarios for 60+ domestic leagues in our 🕹️ Simulator.

@TN_analize Mozes napraviti analizu cijele akcije kod tog 1. gola Dinama? Posebice pozicije i kretanja igraca Lokomotive

Već od početka utakmice se moglo vidjeti kako će Dinamo iskorištavati lokomotivninu lijevu stranu obrane. Ovo je situacija kod prvog gola gdje je opet pozicija stopera i beka preširoka.

@fmeetsdata Because of the nearby concert probably 😅

Match v 🇮🇹 Atalanta is the only one this season at 🏟️ Signal Iduna Park in 🇩🇪 Dortmund that didn't sell out.

@fmeetsdata Bravo UEFA!

🇵🇱 Poland made more coefficient points in one night (+3.219) than these nations in the entire 2025/26 season: 🇮🇱 🇸🇰 🇲🇩 🇧🇦 🇱🇻 🇫🇴 🇲🇹 🇱🇮 🇪🇪 🇦🇱 🇱🇹 ☘️ 🇦🇩 🇧🇾 🇱🇺 🇲🇪 🇬🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇸🇲 🇦🇹 Austria (3.300) & 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland (3.400) almost made it to the list.

@fmeetsdata Losa vijest za dinamo

FCSB 🇷🇴 went from 1-3 to 4-3! They were losing until 87th minute.

@mario_katusic Strasno kako se lik nije pripremio

Tri ekipe prije kraja je bilo jasno da nam ide Gana, on ne vidi i čeka čeka čeka, navija...

@fmeetsdata Feels odd seeing a repeat matchup. Wonder if UEFA should adjust the draws to avoid teams facing the same opponent twice

To beat 🇬🇧 Linfield twice. That's what it took for 🇮🇪 Shelbourne to qualify for their first league/group stage in club history! 🔵 UCL Q1: ✅ v 🇬🇧 Linfield 🔵 UCL Q2: ❌ v 🇦🇿 Qarabag 🟠 UEL Q3: ❌ v 🇭🇷 Rijeka 🟢 UECL PO: ✅ v 🇬🇧 Linfield

@fmeetsdata The UEL PO spot is meant for national cup winners. The only way to solve this "glitch" when the cup winner also wins the league would be to allow the cup runner-up (or semifinalists, etc.) to take the UEL PO place

☠️ THE GLITCH IS NOW CLOSE TO STRIKING We warned about a glitch in UEFA's access list back in 🗓️ May when 🇨🇭 Super League was about to finish. The glitch was that 2nd place in 🇨🇭 Super League did NOT guarantee any league stage, while 3rd place guaranteed at least 🟢 UECL LS. And things indeed don't look good for 🇨🇭 vice-champions. 🇨🇭 Servette lost TWO ties in a row: 🔵 UCL Q2 v 🇨🇿 Viktoria Plzen 🟠 UEL Q3 v 🇳🇱 Utrecht and now face 🇺🇦 Shakhtar Donetsk in 🟢 UECL PO. In all three of those rounds 🇨🇭 Servette were UNSEEDED, and in all three rounds they were NOT a favorite to qualify. Meanwhile, 🇨🇭 Young Boys finished BEHIND 🇨🇭 Servette in the league, but will start their European season in 🟠 UEL PO, which guarantees at least 🟢 UECL league stage. In case 🇨🇭 Servette lose to 🇺🇦 Shakhtar, they will be 🛑 OUT of Europe in August. (Same thing happened to Partizan 🇷🇸 last summer.) At the same time, 🇨🇭 Y. Boys have guaranteed European football at least until 🎄 Christmas.

@fmeetsdata @fanatic_darts No matter how long UEFA has been doing this, it needs to make it transparent

@ilaskari @fanatic_darts They've been doing it like this for years, if not decades. We've never seen any detailed explanation about the algorithm.

🟠 UEL PO draw groups are now out❗ Group 1 Seeded  Winners of Pairing 1: Hamrun Spartans F.C.

@fmeetsdata @fanatic_darts Would it be possible to get an official explanation from UEFA on this algorithm? This seems like a huge transparency issue

@fanatic_darts Yeah, it's the latter. And to make the draw faster because it takes a quarter of the time that it would take if there were no groupings. The algorithm is however unknown.

@fmeetsdata Zašto Uefa ne moze jednostavno pricekati da se zavrsi kvalifikacijska runda, u ovom slucaju Q2, i tek onda odradi zdrijeb?

🔢 We're 1 day away from 🔵 UCL Q3 draw (Monday, 12:00 CET). Unseeded teams in 🔵 Q3 can become seeded in 🔵 PO round, if they are paired with the following teams in 🔵 Q3: 🇩🇰 FCK* 🇷🇸 Crvena zvezda* 🇭🇺 Ferencvaros* 🇵🇹 Benfica 🇧🇪 Club Brugge *provided they don't get eliminated in 🔵 Q2.

@tgloban Tocno. Favoriti ce sljedece sezone puno ozbiljnije uci u natjecanje. Kao da su podcijenili format

Ispasti s 11 bodova. To se nikad više neće ponoviti.

@ricardo_sm19612 @fmeetsdata Even 11 pts might not be enough for Top 24

@fmeetsdata Doesn't this just prove the nonsense that your 10.000 Elo-based simulator is? You started the season selling the idea to your customers that a 24th finish with 8 or 9 points had a 77% of success! 🫣🫣🫣 #badresearch

For the first time, 25th team (first one to miss out on knockout stage) is projected to finish on 10 pts. Goal difference will be crucial. It will likely determine Top 8 as well at 16 pts.

@tgloban Ne treba uopce polagati nade na pomoc kuglica i brojeva dok nemamo barem dva predstavnika koji dostojno mogu odigrati europska natjecanja. Zasad je sve pravedno. Vise nismo ni zasluzili.

Roma je večeras osigurala Top 6 plasman u 🇮🇹, što znači da 🇨🇿 pobjednik kupa seli iz ECL-Q3 u EL-Q3, a Hrvatska još jednom ostaje prva ispod crte, najvišeplasirana zemlja čiji pobjednik kupa nema pristup Europa ligi.
