Yeh. It would have been nice to have Betis, Monaco, Villarreal and Everton in the CL but that's impossible now. I feel sorry for whoever gets eliminated out of these four, because they, unlike a certain Liverpool FC whose draw is quite favourable, worked hard to finish where the rules stated you had to finish in your domestic league in order to qualify for the Champions League.
unfortunate for everton, but heck everyone saw this coming...i reckon vallareal is a harder oponent than liverpool, moyes was scared of gettin drawn liverpool. oh well
it is better for italian teams when english and spanisch team does not qulify for CL.
But I think that Vilareal is really very sympatic and play great football. And now they have Tacchinardi.. so I hope they will be in CL. Everton can go to Uefa Cup. 4 english teams will be enough..
