Just checked you cant play your own assosiaton or anyone from your group. My mistake.

Still looks a bit suspect. Three Spanish sides in the mix - they all avoid each other. Two Italian sides in the mix - they avoid each other. Two English sides in the mix - they play each other. It smells

I bet if you look back at previous years draws you’ll see Spanish and Italian sides drawn together at one point.

My wife always says that cup draws are fixed. In this case I'm struggling to think of an argument against.

My argument against is that, live on television, they put a load of balls in a bowl and drew them out without checking to see which was which first.
