There are 3 English teams in the draw for the last 8 of the Champions League, whats the probability that there will be an all English game in the next round?

It's pretty simple to do this, actually. Take any two British teams. Their probability of playing each other is 1/7. There are three British teams, so there are three different Brit pairings. Those are mutually exclusive, because ManU can't play both Chelsea and Liverpool at the same time.
So it's just a 3/7 chance, which off the top of my head is about 43%."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

3 in 7
Combination 8 / 2 = 28
Divide by the 4 games in the round = 7, 3 of which are the English clubs playing each other.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

This assumes that there is no seedings, like there were in previous rounds.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

This is the first round (the quarters) that teams from the same country can play each other in the knockout stages.Originally posted by LordShiva
