- OMG. Eidewalls sly dig at the current UCL format is SAVAGE!
Jonas Eidevall on there being only one WSL team in today's
#UWCL group-stage draw: "We’re number four in Europe [in Uefa's coefficient rankings]. We can’t say that’s anyone else’s problem except our own. We need to improve. English teams have not done well enough in Europe."
Eidevall adds: "The Conti Cup group that MUFC are in now might be tougher than some UWCL groups
. But [Uefa] need to grow all of women's football in Europe - that's really important. They can't only take [WSL] opinions into account."
He suggests growing the
#UWCL with more teams.
But Eidewall is also daft.
How will keeping the same average teams that always been in the UCL aka Rosengård, Kopparbergs Göteborg (BK Häcken), Slavia Prague help grow european womens football? Are they arguing that is better for UEFA to try and keep those club alive and competitive rather than having new more powerful teams both financially and on the field from entering? The are not growing womens football, they are at best keeping status quo.
What the current seeding system does it to make sure the same average clubs stay in the UCL and new clubs find it difficult to enter, thereby making it less attractive for owners and sponsors to give money to new teams as the UCL route is blocked by teams of less sporting quality.
FC Rosengård is capped to like 1000-2000 fans per UCL game, when there a long list of clubs that could attract 50 000+ thousand fans that is unable to compete because of the current seeding system.
Why are coaches blabbing about this like they have no idea what they are talking about?
Its hilarious that Chelsea only made the UCL because Barcelona won the final or else they would also be in the Q round.
