Match proper start on the 17th of September and the spread looks very even with group D that looks slightly more competitive than the rest. The good this is that there are a few new names (that i can hardly pronounce) which is a good sign that the smaller teams are slowly making their way into the dominant space of the European giants.What are you thoughts?
