Real almost guaranteed an easy draw. They typically get easy opponents in the round of 16 and quarterfinals every season. Since 2010-11 until now they've played the following teams in the first two knockout rounds:
Lyon, Tottenham
Cska Moscow, Apoel
Manchester United, Galatasaray
Schalke, Dortmund
Schalke
So out of 9 draws they've had two tough opponents.
It is good that juve went through, bvb are bad this season and they should go concentrate on bundesliga. If they don't qualify for European competitions none of their players will stay. On the other hand it a new opponent.
I want Bayern-Real Madrid
Atletico-Monaco Barca-Porto
PSG-Juventus
With all highlighted teams winning.
Then barca-juventus and bayern-monaco with barca-bayern final. That would be my dream, we will see how the reality turns out be.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
