    A lot of the games in this competition are going to be better than the CL matches.

    there are alot more high calibre teams in there than you'd think. Its not the CL, and far from it, but its not the League Cup either.

    It all really depends on how committed to the competition these teams are - Itlalian teams haven't been majorly pushed about it in recent years from what I've seen.

    I think they already have overtaken the Italians and only have to equal the performance of the Spanish teams to move into 2nd this year AFAIK.

    Ultimately theres f*ck all a country's FA can do top influence the regard in which clubs hold the UEFA Cup. Even a lot of English teams have given it scant respect in recent years.

    I agree and it doesn't provide near the money of the Champions League and the lure of the CL is far bigger lure than the Europa League.


    The standard of match in the EL is quite poor as many teams don't go all out. For some it's a burden.

    Quality =/= entertainment by default. Some champions league group games are some of the boring-est matches I've ever seen.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test
