Absolutely. Lazio in the round of 32 is nailed on.

I believe some of the groups will be finalised tonight. Athletic Bilbao are also through plus probably Udinese unless Celtic can perform a miracle. Birmingham have also got a slim chance of qualifying.

Urp, yeah, should have pointed out that there are still some games to go in the Europa - i took the 'as is' situation.
Possible replacements from the list above:

Spuds cans till quality if they batter Shamrock Rovers, and Kazan suffer defeat.

Same with Copenhagen in Group B, if they win and Hannover lose with a goal swing of +3 in Copenhagens favour.

Austria Vienna could knock out AZ Alkmaar, but very unlikely as +7 goal swing needed there. Just as unlikely for Birmingham.

Udinese and Celtic fighting it out for one spot - they play each other in Italy.

There is a few teams that you have as bold in your original post who we can still play. I think we can play the following. (I've bolded who I think most likely to finish 2nd)

Legia Warsaw
Lazio
Salzburg
Steaua Bucharest
Wisla Krakow
Lokomotiv Moscow
Trabzonspor
Ajax
Porto
Plzen
Alkmaar or Austria Vienna
Braga or Brugge
Athletico Madrid, Udinese or Celtic
PAOK or Kazan
Liege, Copenhagen or Hannover

Fuck me, i hope not. Seen England in Rome a couple of times. Also been to a Rome derby - unbelievable. Naples was easy. Porto will do for me.

Why can they not do the draw the old fashion way.......just throw all the teams into a hat and draw them out?

No there going to go the only way they know how. Give the rags the easiest run possible to the final

The round of 32 and 16 are drawn together , so we find out who we get in both tomorrow, if we make it through. Round of 32 is country protected , but round of 16 is not. Full team list:

PAOK
Rubin Kazan
Standard Leige
Hannover
PSV
Warsaw
Sporting Lisbon
Lazio
Besiktas
Stoke
Atletico Madrid
Salzburg (Alan!)
FC Metalist
AZ Alkmaar
Club Brugge

Lokomotiv Moskow
Man City
Trabonspor
Scum U
Ajax
Valencia
Olympiakos
Porto
FC Viktoria Plzen

Seeded teams in bold - winners of Europa League groups + 4 best placed CL drop outs.

We will be away first and home second - deemed more favourable in rewarding seeded teams. So, we can have anyone not in bold and not English in the round of 32, then anyone at all in the last 16.

Best case is someone like Plzen or Salzburg, worst case Porto or Ajax

the teams i want are either, Hannover, ajax, lazio, porto, az alkmar or wilsa any of them teams will do :)

Bilbao would be a great trip. Went there for 82 World Cup... loved the place. Great people and love the English.
