An English team plays a Portuguese team in a 2 legged match.

The Portuguese team play their home leg in Italy, the English team play their home leg in Greece.

The world’s eating it’s own arsehole again.

More absolute lunacy in these covid football times. As already mentioned is flying to two different countries for these ties a better option than just flying once to Portugal?

And why not play the first leg somewhere like Nacional's stadium on the island of Madeira? With no fans the ground capacity is irrelevant and at least it's still Portuguese?

Fucking ridiculous imo.

Rome, Romford, Rumania, Rhodes, it makes little difference as there's no fans.

I guess they don't have the quarantine BS if they play here. How that works I'm unsure.
If you travel to Portugal you gotta isolate on return but Italy you haven't? WTF!!

Fuck it, play the game on Hackney Marshes.
At least Linda Zoolander and Xhakatard would look half decent. Only half, mind. :lol:

Why the fuck not have both legs in the same place (oh matron), or just one leg (kinky bastard)? Our home tie is further away than the fucking away game, some joke.

Scrap the whole fucking thing it's a farce.
