Again , finishing 5th , for example, in the PL holds much more weight than finishing 1st in Ukraine. But the 5th place in the Premier League gets to play in the Europa League competition, while the 1st spot in Ukraine has a CL spot assured

So what's your qualifying criteria for 'quality teams'?Again , finishing 5th , for example, in the PL holds much more weight than finishing 1st in Ukraine. But the 5th place in the Premier League gets to play in the Europa League competition, while the 1st spot in Ukraine has a CL spot assured
I don't watch any other games bar City's. I couldn't give a rats arse about thevso called super sunday shite this weekend or he MNF shit show.LOL I really doubt that youve never watched any games besides ours. I'd put money on the fact that just this year youve watched other games besides ours because you like football, simple as that. But you can act like you haven't so it fits your narrative.
I think Uefa are corrupt as the come.
BUT
I believe the yanks are trying to turn European football into their version of the NFL. If the European crsp happens the next thing will be matches between San Jose Earthquake and the rags.
No thank you. It is all that is wrong with football.
Maybe if they pay me i'll do a proper assesment of the quality criteria. I'm just a football fan that wants to watch the best teams in Europe playing in the CL not the champions of every country getting a shot at the CL group stage.So what's your qualifying criteria for 'quality teams'?
The assesment should be made based on their results when they actually compete in the CL. Lille, as a newcomer , getting treated as 1st pot quality team is definitely wrong, they only proved themselvs in the french league , a low tire competition.
Fair enough , I can agree with an opinion like this rather than people being hypocrites saying how much they care about some small teams that they never watch.I don't watch any other games bar City's.

What are your criteria for "best teams in Europe"?

Yeah, it's not easy, and probably why UEFA keep tweaking it. So basically qualification based on their UEFA co-efficient points position? Top 32 = CL, next 32 = EL etc?Maybe if they pay me i'll do a proper assesment of the quality criteria.

The whole problem with modern football is the furthering of commercial interests at the expense of sporting integrity.
The foundations and fundamentals are more important than branding and marketing, regardless of who you watch. Sheriff beat Real Madrid because they earned the right to compete and beat them. PSG didn't earn anything to cheat past Leipzig to further their commercial investment in UEFA and go to the 2022 World Cup with Messi at the Qatari club as European champions. Likewise, Liverpool didn't earn the right to cheat their way past the champions of Spain.
Just because some clubs have exploited commercial prosperity to dominate financially doesn't make their interests more important than any other club's. The fact you support their interests gives your position no credence.

I assume we are still talking about a ESL so you can't have UEFA co-efficient points as the basis. UEFA is corrupt anyway, so who would you have setting the rules for the co-efficient?
