Not relevant to this discussion but all "big" clubs in The Netherlands are red and white

Overall I feel like most groups are quite balanced. Also there's quite some teams we're not used to seeing in the champions league. This might be a year of great european football.
I'm hoping Benfica improves defensively and wins the group. Our home game against Inter last year was the worst one we had all year.
The normal cut btw, not the long one mentioned in the title. In case someone, like me, thinks the long will be released in November. Not to downplay your comment though
What does it mean to present a letter to the Government before UEFA? Like a UEFA governing body?
Seeing the USA as favorites in the group and perhaps Vietname as the easier target (maybe?), this would always be the decisive game for both NL and PT, I guess. The Netherlands has much more experience than Portugal in Euros and World Cups since this is the first participation for Portugal but I understood they are undergoing a renewal in the squad (?).
This to say that it seems normal for both teams to approach this game carefully. I only watched the last 30 minutes when NL was defending the victory but PT could not create any good chances.
I don't understand why clubs need to make these announcements public these days. Being a captain is a role in the field, up for the coach and/or squad to decide.
IMO, the fans don't need to know these things beforehand. What about when captains loose influence throughout the season and need to change? Just makes these announcements awkward.
Same for me. I'm on Android 13
