CL qualifying 3rd round draw

[MDK]

Basel v Werder Bremen

Artmedia Bratislava or Celtic v Partizan Belgrade or Sheriff

Shakhtar Donetsk v Internazionale

Shelbourne or Steaua Bucharest v Rosenborg

Manchester United v Debrecen or Hajduk Split

Malmo or Maccabi Haifa v Dynamo Kiev or Thun

Everton v Villarreal

Kaunas or Liverpool v KF Tirana or CSKA Sofia

Sporting v Udinese

Valerenga or Haka v Club Brugge

Dudelange or Rapid Vienna v Rabotnicki or Lokmotiv Moscow

Anderlecht or Neftchi v Slavia Prague

Anorthosis or Trabzonspor v Rangers

Dinamo Tblisi or Brondby v Ajax

Real Betis v Monaco

Wisla Krakow v Panathinaikos

The two-legged ties will take place on August 9/10 and August 23/24.

From Skysports.com, for all the people who's teams are in this.

So Shelbourne might have Rosenborg, Man U have got a decent draw, Everton I think have it quite tough and Liverpool could have had it harder.

And nobody cares about Celtic and Rangers

Shakhtar Donetsk v Internazionale and Real Betis v Monaco are my picks for the nicest games, I'd like to watch them.

Diego....Woo-oo-oo-oohh, He came from Uruguay, He made the scousers cry.

Seriously, sucks to be Everton.

[Herr Matzat]

Basel should be posible, yay, already got my ticket weeks ago

[Guest Pirate Chasin' Booty]

I feel abit sorry for Everton, it'd be embarrasing to get all the way to the CL only to be knocked out straight away and get agro for it.

They've got a chance though.

[Different Cloud]

I'll take that.

[Thomas]

..... fuck

[Whisper]

Split won't be the easiest of games, but I can't see us having any problems there. Liverpool should get through also but CSKA (looks as if that's who it'll be) will be tough.

Oh and, buh-bye Everton

[Guest Red Devil]

United got an easy enough draw so I'm happy. I feel sorry for Everton, they came all this way and they'll most likely get knocked out. Good news for Villareal and Forlan though!

[Thomas]

No it's not, it's horrible news for Villareal. Everton are by far the hardest unseeded team in there.

[Guest Pirate Chasin' Booty]

I think Everton could work in Europe, they're definitely not the norm.

[fineintent]

I agree - I think European teams will find it difficult to play against them, and someone like Duncan Ferguson is going to excel in the Champions League I reckon. They had a decent enough record against the big English teams last year, I see no reason why they can't make it to the group stages.

[MDK]

I can see alot of teams strugling against Everton because they bring something different. Especially that big, mean Duncan Ferguson. I hope they get thru just so I can see a Everton vs Liverpool CL match, that would be awesome.

[evertonfan]

Even if we do get knocked out, that's still the Uefa Cup. I'd definatly have taken that this time last year.

[Malenko]

Split won't be the easiest of games, but I can't see us having any problems there. Liverpool should get through also but CSKA (looks as if that's who it'll be) will be tough.

Oh and, buh-bye Everton

[Whisper]

I realise who Sofia are, they're a tougher side than a lot of the teams in there.

[Malenko]

After taking a closer look at the draw, i dare asking who? The only teams i can think of are whoever wins the Valerenga/Haka match or Wisla Krakow and even Wisla is about as good as them.

[Big Red Fury]

No it's not, it's horrible news for Villareal. Everton are by far the hardest unseeded team in there.

I'm hoping Shels get through to the 3rd round. They'd have a better chance against Roseborg than they did against Deportivo.

[Darloboy]

Everton definitely have the hardest opponents of all the British teams, but I think they can pull off a win. I reckon they'll nick it 1-0 at Goodison and then shut Villareal out in the away leg.

[Turbo Yannis]

Hmm, I'm torn on Villareal and Everton

On the one hand, I think it's amazing that Villareal have risen through the leagues in Spain, so I've got somewhat of a soft spot for them.

But I'd also like to see Everton get through to the group stages because A. It's another British club in the group stages and B. They had such a good season last year that it would all seem like such a watse to lose out just before the real stuff.

Quick question: In the 3rd Qualifier, do they have the Champion's League star on the sleeves? I noticed in the Liverpool games so far that none of them have had the star. Just a little thing, but it's been bugging the hell out of me.
