This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Italy is the big winner tonight by SCOANGERS
Thanks to the success of Fiorentina in C4, AS Roma in C3 and that of Atalanta Bergamo, Italy is sure to obtain a 5th ticket for C1 next edition
As a reminder with the new C1 formula and the passage from 32 to 36 clubs in the group stage, two new places are offered to the two countries having obtained the best results of the current edition. Italy, currently in the lead, can no longer be reached. This means that the 5th in Serie A will compete in the Champions League.
The second country on very favorable ballot to access this 5th ticket is Germany, which will have to maintain its comfortable lead over England.
