UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[eamonn]

I’m sort of glad West Ham won it this season now (I wasn’t much at the time) as the country can see its importance and significance. Yes it’s the 3rd tier European trophy but it’s a European trophy.

I view it as a European League Cup, not as prestigious as the 2 older trophies but would still be a very welcome addition to our trophy cabinet.

I see it as same level as the original third competition, the CWC.

Is the correct answer.

Cup  Winners Cup slayed a lot harder than this Conference thing. We'll be well shot of it when we reach the Champions League Final in 2025.

Fenerbahce 2 - 0 up at half-time in the Turkish cup final which I think is good news for us regarding the prospect of being seeded.

As far as I understand the mathematical equation anyway.

Finished 2-0 so good for us, just a shame that Erdogan's team lost.

Game hasn't finished yet. Still 2-0

Yeah you're right, an hour gone now. When I checked it said 'Final' under the score but it's obviously a reference to the game itself.

CWC was far easier to win than the Uefa, and was probably easier to win than the Conference. Mainly because of more games and having sides from the Europa drop in as well.
I remember when we were playing Inter in the Uefa Man Utd were playing Wrexham in the CWC, and iirc it wasn't even a full strength Wrexham side due to the foreign players rule at the time.

Although you did have to win a cup competition to get into it in the first place.

Or lose the final if the winners were already in Europe. Depending when it was.

Yes, weren't we the first FA Cup losers not to progress to European competition, after we lost to Arsenal who had already guaranteed a CL spot?

For a place in the last eight, after overcoming Pécs (anyone?) in the first round.

Fenerbahce 2 - 0 was the final result, Batshuayi got both goals.

So we now can't be seeded, is that right?

I thought this result was good for us although not entirely sure why

Nope, the seeding only matter to us at the round we come in. If a few of the higher ranked sides in the knockouts lose then we might end up seeded still.

[Meanwood Villa]

Basaksehir not in Europe, Adana Demirspor get the place instead and they have worse coefficient than us.

Apparently it puts us at the top of the unseeded teams, so a bit closer to being seeded come draw time.

I'm the other way around, thought we needed Başakşehir to win. Funk knows.
