UEFA Champions League

March 18, 2011 9:22am CST
What do people think of the UEFA Champions League? Is it a competition showcasing the cream of soccer talent? Or is it offensive to you that there is so much money connected with it? Do smaller teams have a chance of ever winning it? I support one of Scotland's biggest clubs, but they will never win this competition because the ruling body favours the big teams from bigger countries who have most television viewers, therefore more revenue from sponsors. Am I just jealous of the bigger clubs? Or am I right to be angry?

what do u know about it? football is the biggest sport through out the universe. We never feel like that there is lots of chance's to get or to win the matches some where in clubs, the small teams are there but they have the chances to give and play with those clubs see one thing take one team it is poor then in that only two players are best players what they do even more practice they can do and then they go to the clubs and practice very will in that clubs why because the players doesn't have sufficent shoe and sufficent dress but in this club the sponsorer will give them everything finally he carries the experience of this club even i don't know the revenue comes unstoppable. One thing i am telling to u while entering the world cup or any match the smaller must faced the bigger teams event they play better and even they reach for winning the match in that series the sponsoreres definately give the money towards them also first they should experience the football game.

I think it is a wonderful competition. It allows all the clubs around Europe to come together for a top of the leagues clash. Of course, there is a money issue with the bigger clubs having the better talents, but then for the lesser clubs this is one chance they get to rub the shoulders with the best in the world and take them on. I remember Porto won the Champions League under Mourinho without too many stars of that time. Then these players ended up in some of the biggest European clubs leaving Porto with a hole. But as long as it lasted it was real fun for them. Cheers! Ram

The UEFA Champions League is indeed a competition for the elite,but unfortunately only a handful of clubs from the most powerful European Leagues can reach the final stages,and I think this happens because the financial gap between those mighty clubs and the rest is deeper and deeper and I don't think the situation will change;I wouldn't be surprised if eventually they would create their own league,although I hope such a thing won't happen b ecazuse that will completely destroy the spirit of a game which has already been altered by the huge amounts of money around it.I still want to see surprises in football because they make football more beautiful;I don't want to see a league only for Barca,Real,Inter,Juve and so on,but I'm afraid that's what will happen.
