The '23 - '24 European season officially got underway, yesterday, with the first round of qualifying for the Champions League - where teams you've never heard of, from countries you're not quite sure where they are, play off for places in the Group stage of the CL. It prevents meaningless one-sided contests once the serious players come in.
Anyone for DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda v Dila Gori ?
(for the uninitiated, that's the champions of Slovakia v the champions of Georgia)
