| Ka-pi96 said: They were talking about England dropping down to 4th in the coeffecient rankings and Italy taking their place, thus England losing a CL place and Italy gaining one. So nothing about England specifically having places removed, just part of the dynamic coeffecient system. It also wasn't helped by some people not understanding how the system worked and panicing at it when it was a minimum of 2 seasons away (that's 2 seasons of England doing worse than Italy in European competitions as well). Although even if England had still underperformed and Italy done well, with the new coeffecient changes meaning the 4th ranked league is guaranteed 4 CL places as well now... it wouldn't make a difference anyway. |
That's what I get for reading the Daily Mail on this sort of stuff. :P
Facts and nothing but the (untrue) facts.
Other than Chelsea messing up and coming second in their group, all team have a good chance to continue on in the the tournament. Could it be another year like 08-09 when 3 England teams were in the semis?
Hmm, pie.
