CL Seeding

[northbank123]

A decade ago there was a lot of speculation about a European League, you never hear it any more. The CL has just modelled itself as such a bloated money-spinner for so many clubs that it's quelled that sort of talk.

How could they make the competition any more exciting than it is currently.....the mind boggles

[Supagoon]

Well as long as the leagues are ranked properly.

Can't see why the Portuguese champions should get a good group when in reality even this Arsenal team could win that league at a canter.

Just don't want to go back to the farcical days of teams winning 3/4 European cups in row.

The CL format now is tough to ensure that sort of thing doesn't happen.

Uefa to change seeding system. She now trying artificial insemination.

(you have to imagine this as an Italian man trying to speaka da English)

Wasn't so long ago when there was 2 group stages in the fucking thing.

"Fucking thing" now there's the best expression




WENGER OUT

Bad news for those who believe fourth place is an acceptable target and achievement. Think it will be good for the competition, but I think a bigger improvement would be to streamline the tournament to the top two with provision for a Champions League winner that does not finish in the top two. The idea of ambling through a season knowing that you are good enough to finish fourth is blunting ambition, certainly at our club.

Great Irish minds.

Mmmm.....stick to the gaelic stuff

My Son plays lacrosse so quite similar, one question, why is only one guy wearing a bright blue cycling helmet

[mcdowell42]

Lacrosse doesn't come anywhere near hurling,For years wearing a helmet was personal choice now it's compulsory for anyone plays hurling,obviously used for protection,all helmets now have a face visor but back in the day helmets only used for head protection.


Seriously lacrosse isn't that for pampered soft rich people.

Having lived in America, I can confirm this - yes.

It's grown significantly in popularity over the past 5 or so years, it is very much a prep sport.

Have a couple of those defenseman smack your wrists with a metal pole incessantly for 60 minutes twice a week and see if you still think lacrosse players are soft.
