Who's Our Europa League Opponent?

Czech Republic's Sigma Olomouc, that's who. We'll be playing them in a home and away match sequence. Our opponent's players are largely homegrown with one Brazilian each in defence and midfield.

No players that I know, but still, for any team to get into the Europa League, this team must be of some decent quality.

I think they've shown few decent results this season: smashed Aberdeen 5-1 on their ground (sounds familiar, doesn't it? :), perform quite well in domestic league, but personally I don't think Everton will struggle too much. I just hope they won't beat Sigma 3-0 at Goodison (which I find very likely to happen) so they'd send reserves to Olomouc. I don't want all my waiting for tickets in the queue go to waste, if you know what I mean. Anyway, thanks for a splendid start into the new season. I'm going to shine in my Arsenal shirt next to Everton fans' sector. :) No, really, from all the other teams in PL I like Everton probably the most, so I hope you stay up this season. Cheers from Czech Republic. mv.
