[tiktok]

which clubs dont play summer soccer

They all take part in summer leagues except for elsberg, but even the danes will be back playing when the UEFA games take place (they have a huge winter break)

1. Viking Stavanger Nor

2. Esbjerg fB Den

3. FK Ventspils Lat Beat Faroes team 11-0 on agg & then beat Brondy. Can see from ranking points exclusing last year not been in 1st round proper in last 5 years.
Metalurgs Liepaja Lat

MyPa-47 Fin
Allianssi Vantaa Fin
Other Finish team lost to Glentoran last year

Ekranas Panevezys Lit
Atlantas Klaipeda Lit
Other Lithuanian team beat Portadown 4-2 on agg.

IBK Keflavik Isl
IBV Vestmannaeyjar Isl
Other team beat Dunfirmline 4-3 on agg in 2nd qualifying round

1st 3 teams in list definitely look the strongest by far. Metalurgs could be good draw but they beat Swedish team on away goals before losing to Schalke 9-1 on agg.

metalurgs for me!!

one of the poorest teams ive ever seen at the cross,if we had any belief that year we would have cruised through to the next round

Metalurgs seem to have improved in recent years - currently clear at the top of the Latvian league, which only Skonto have won ever (though they're still a Latvian team...)

Think overall it's good that Cork are unseeded and Longford are seeded (as opposed to the other way around; would have preferred if both were seeded) as Cork are more likely to progress against a seeded team than Longford would have been. Hopefully this way, we can get the two teams through...

That was years ago though.

I think I read somewhere that they knocked Brondby out of the UEFA Cup last season.

Yup. On away goals in 2nd qualifyig round. Schalke trashed them in next round though.

Good draw for Shels today getting Glentoran ( good for Glens too ). Best of luck in the UEFA Cup draw today to both Cork and Longford, I'll be going to the Cork home game regardless of who you get. Here's hoping you we all go on magical Europen journeys this season like the ones Shels and Cork went on last year.
