That is what I have heard, I am open to contradiction if anyone knows any different.
Yeah, thats correct 4 is the max number of teams from any association that can play in the CL. And if there is a clash (eg Everton 4th, Liverpool 5th but CL winners) then the FA would have to pick which team would go into the CL and which into the UEFA. It hasnt happened so far in the CL, but could happen this year with Liverpool, Inter and Bayern (but they would have to drop a lot of points).
The FA needn't be too worried. Liverpool won't win the CL this year. :)
Well I doubt Bayern will need to rely on it they look reasonably sure of getting a spot. Didn't realsie that five couldn't qualify. I think that's actually unfair as while it obviously favours stronger associations there is still the matter of a meritocracy.
Traditionally a team that wins a European competition (other than Super Cup) has the automatic right to defend that title unless they qualify for a superior competition. Also English/Italian (remember Inter can do it as well) teams have performed consistently well enough to earn the places they currently have allocated in Europe, otherwise they wouldn't have as many places.
Therefore the financial loss bound to be incurred by one due to the success of one side in a different sphere, and that is the key word success, of another while they reached the sufficient point of success themselves would penalise a club unfairly. In the case of almost any club qualification can make a world of difference financially. Therefore if they have done enough on merit within their specific sphere the governing body UEFA should have measures that accommodate all parties.
I reckon it's all hypothetical anyway as I think Chelsea are going to win the Champions League.
Michael Owen scored his first goal for Liverpool at Anfield against Spurs on November 8, 1997. Liverpool won 4-0.Quote:

One European Championship qualifying game was cancelled by UEFA in 1991, after several postponements beforehand. Which one was it?
When was the last championship that Italy, and Spain both failed to qualify for?
The last championship they both failed to qualify for was Euro 92. Don't know the other one.
Was it something to do with the Balkans ?Quote:

Albania vs. Spain was the game in question. I'm not sure why it wasn't played, but it had presumably had something to do with the fact that neither team was still in contention by the final round of matches.
Technically, a second answer exists to this question. The originally scheduled fixtures between East and West Germany were cancelled as a result of reunification.
Who were the RCS?
If I'm not mistaken, it stood for "Representation of Czechs and Slovaks", although that smacks of a convenient English rendering of the acronym. The constituent republics of Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia on Jan 1st 1993 (I think), half-way through the qualifying campaign for World Cup 1994. A representative XI known as the RCS completed their fixtures (and almost qualified too; if memory serves, they missed out due to a 0-0 draw with Belgium on that fateful day of November 17th 1993.)Quote:

The F.A. and The Football League are two different associations! :rolleyes:Quote:

The Football League was formed in 1888, which was the correct answer to the question you asked! :rolleyes:

Actually it was Paul Bodin. I think they actually needed a win and they lost the match if memory serves me correctly so that probably wouldn't have been enough.Quote:

Italy and Spain last failed to qualify for the Euro Championships in 1992, as A. Stu said.Quote:

Spain won 5-1 in Tirana in September 1993.

Since their promotion to the Premiership in 1993, How many seasons has the Premiership game between Liverpool-Newcastle being played at Anfield first, before the return game in Newcastle?
When was the first Monday Night Premiership game shown live at Anfield, by Sky?
I think it's only 2. This season and in the 2002-03 season.Quote:

Kerry Blue got it right. Since Newcastle's promotion to the Premiership in 1993, the Liverpool-Newcastle fixture has only been played at Anfield twice before the return game in Newcastle. The seasons were 2002/03, and 2004/05. There was another season when it was scheduled to be at Anfield in 1997/98, but as Princess Diana was killed on the day of the game, the game was postponed until after the two teams played each other in Newcastle.Quote:
