How would it be unfair, the Italians earned the numbers of berth places given according to their achievements in Europe I think.

Yes exactly. A national league is awarded a certain number of CL and UEFAcup berths depending on how well their clubs did in these two European competitions. This is calculated through UEFA's list of coefficients.

i have a question......the team that wins the coppa will get a uefa cup berth next season. if the winning team is already in CL or uefa cup, then the place is given to the runners-up correct?

what happens if both teams are already in the europen competitions? let's say the standings now, finishes as it is (we're 3rd and lazio 4th)......then who'll take that uefa cup berth?

It moves on to the next team in the Coppa.

Yeah, it depends from ref to ref, some like to write it in their notebooks and some on the cards... btw, shouldt refs have little hand held computers?

Imagine it crashed during the match. Danny Mills would be in heaven.

Yw

Though I'm not sure how they calculate that. Afterall, there are two teams in the third spot (in this case Milan and Inter). Maybe goal difference is the deciding factor. Not sure.

In England, it would move into the league Erik. It's happened there before that I saw.

 

[Slagathor]

Hey, come to think of it, it would move into the league in Holland as well...

Maybe I was misinformed!

So I was looking at the uefa cup site, and decided to check out the fixtures and results page. Can anyone explain to me what's going on in this pic?

Well say the teams showed up and they were tired after the long journey and noone was really in the mood to play, the captain could just say "you wanna toss it?" and if the other captain accepted, they could just go home.

Goal difference.

And if they're equal?

 

[aressandro10]

so italian football do recognize goal difference... i thot they always resolve to playoffs so decide on such cicumstances..

 

[flieeeekke]

i think they would play a league of 3. i really doubt that with three equal teams is decided by gd when with its decided by playoff.

Goals scored.

Goals scored.

are you sure? coz the way i see it they dont do things like that in Serie A...



i always been wondering about this... there was once when i played cm, i deliberately lose a game at the end of the season so that i can get equal points with the 2nd and the 3rd team and to see what happen from there.... it dont turn out that way though as the 3rd team drew their game ... and for the first time i have to win the scudetto through a 2 leg playoff with the 2nd placed team..

 

[gray]

I always thought it was through a playoff too

Goals scored.

That sounds a bit harsh, not giving credit to teams for having a strong defence. Just say team A scores 50 goals and concedes 20. Does that make them a better team than team B who score 30 goals and concede none?
