The European Cup is a 2nd rate competition nowadays. Apparently finishing 4th in a league makes you a "Champion" (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I'll not respect that competition again until only the holders + league winners are in it.. and maybe the domestic cup winners, otherwise it's stupid.

2nd rate? How is it second rate? It'd certainly be more fair if each country's champion team entered but then the quality would be significantly lower.
You said some time ago that you think the Euro is stronger than the WC cause in the WC there are more small teams...
Well I think this is the case here too... if only champions were allowed then the difficulty of the competition would be lower.
So when you talk about 2nd rate, what do you mean? Second rate in terms of quality? I totally disagree with you on that! If you mean second rate in terms oh how accurately the name of it the competition subscribes its participants then yeah...
But really... second rate compared to what? It's the competition in which the strongest teams of Europe take part? Does the name annoy you so much? What if it was called European Cup again, would anything change?

Agreed.. but the compatition seems to get better and better in the uefa cup.. or Pam's Boobs Cup..  or whatever each year.  I mean in my view Bayern Munich was a very solid team last year and still couldnt win it.  Granite they got eliminated by the Champions.

It is a very good competition in terms of quality and it's there that you I think you get to see more great matches but I do think of it as a not prestigious competition anyway...
