Sometimes, you are put in what seems to be an easy or very easy group (based on quality comparisons). Then, you get 'trolled' in the knock-out stages and you are knocked-out. You might even get 'trolled' for one of the matches of the group stage itself. It is as if some things have already been planned.
This season, for my team, there is a strong possibility of playing in the final against the same team that I played in the Cup final last season. That is, if both teams are first in their group and are able to reach the finals.
