It is more interesting that the PL only has 4 places but STILL has a crap unfancied team. Where as in Germany and Italy they had to get an additional space to add their unfancied teams. Like last year's finalist Dortmund.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3 of the 4 English sides have won big ears
2 from 5 for Germany
3 from 5 for Italy
2 from 4 for Spain
In terms of teams making the final of big ears - only England and the Prem has a full house
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So why PL teams performing so poorly in Europe? Surely former CL winners Aston Villa and Liverpool should have won their respective tournament's last season? Two of the biggest spenders in Europe. Why is it next season that that makes a difference? Is it because it hasn't happened yet so you can make stuff up rather than looking at the evidence of just a few weeks ago?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s because lightening very rarely strikes twice. The year before that English sides won 2 of the 3 comps.
Take my bet if you are so confident
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why would I take on a bet that has one of the biggest spenders in history winning a recently made up 3rd tier competition against teams from the Faroe Islands? It would be an absolute DISASTER if Chelsea didn't win that. It isn't proving anything that you think it is proving.

Okay - I will also throw in a Prem side making the EL or CL final
Can’t say fairer than that.
You think our sides are shiete, cheaters and snides - lump on. I’m saying last year was a one off and we won’t see a mixture of bad luck shiete management like it this season.

Absolutely not. You have the most expensively assembled team in history in the 2nd tier competition. If we don't make the final it will be a catastrophic failure. Then city are favourites in the CL through cheating. I don't think you quite grasp how badly England have done compared to expectations and money spent.
When you’re European or South American that’s a big deal because the other sides tend to be far better than their African and Asian counterparts.

Argentina lost to an Asian side. Only.

That's an extremely poor return considering how much English clubs spend compared to others. It should be at least one major European trophy per season minimum. Often have big English clubs spending a billion of squads being in the Europa and failing that. England should be realistically be winning both big competitions every season

Well Real Madrid and Barca have a huge advantage given their tax write offs, share of tv money compared to elite English clubs and general pulling power.
Bayern hoover up the best German talent and can afford massive fees also.
Champions league winners over the last 20 years that weren’t one of these clubs or an English club numbers 2 - Inter and AC with one win each.
Generally the English sides don’t take the Europa too seriously - the money from CL qualification tends to take precedent. Even so we still have 3 winners in the last 20 years which outside of Sevilla is pretty decent - Germany and Italy have 1 each each despite Inter/AC/Dortmund/Leverkusen all partaking in that time period.
Atalanta halve only finish outsighed top 5 twice since 2015
Not eggsatly a “up n coming’ team
I mean Real madrids squad is a Billion £ and they are adding Endrick and Mbappe to that - not sure it’s a travesty Barry if an English side loses to that - let’s be honest, that’s an equal playing field.
Bayern spent £100m on Kane last summer and didn’t win a single thing
Barca are finally getting their financial come uppance and quietly faaack off now.
Juve are skint and can’t do anything.
Inter are decent but aren’t going to trouble Madrid or City.
CL next year = Madrid/City/Bayern - that order
EL next year = United/Roma/Bilbao/Spurs/Lazio/Porto
Johnstone paint conference Zenith shield = Chelsea
Failure would be having less than 2 finalists and one winner in my opinion

Yes but other than the 1962/63 Coppa, the Europa league is the only trophy they have won - not exactly established elite status is it?

They also have incredible tax breaks, debt pardoned regularly over the years and hold the rest of their league to ransom.

As per, you avoid questions you have no coherent answer for, and instead just move the goalposts.
But I'll entertain you anyway.
Perhaps one important reason is that they've only ever had 42 entrants in total, and only 16 in total in the entire 20th century, which means that for most of the history of the World Cup, they were almost entirely prevented from gaining valuable experience and some much needed exposure to help them expand the game.
Europe has had more than 6 times that amount.
Do you think Asia would have done worse if they'd had 250+ entries than with the 42 they've had?
Actually, I can save you the bother of answering.
According to your logic of dilution, they'd have actually done worse because they'd have knocked each other out more.
And continuing with your deranged logic, even if their teams on average perform better than Europe's, they still shouldn't be better represented, as it would only make them worse.

It is more interesting that the PL only has 4 places but STILL has a crap unfancied team. Where as in Germany and Italy they had to get an additional space to add their unfancied teams. Like last year's finalist Dortmund.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3 of the 4 English sides have won big ears
2 from 5 for Germany
3 from 5 for Italy
2 from 4 for Spain
In terms of teams making the final of big ears - only England and the Prem has a full house
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So why PL teams performing so poorly in Europe? Surely former CL winners Aston Villa and Liverpool should have won their respective tournament's last season? Two of the biggest spenders in Europe. Why is it next season that that makes a difference? Is it because it hasn't happened yet so you can make stuff up rather than looking at the evidence of just a few weeks ago?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s because lightening very rarely strikes twice. The year before that English sides won 2 of the 3 comps.
Take my bet if you are so confident
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why would I take on a bet that has one of the biggest spenders in history winning a recently made up 3rd tier competition against teams from the Faroe Islands? It would be an absolute DISASTER if Chelsea didn't win that. It isn't proving anything that you think it is proving.

Okay - I will also throw in a Prem side making the EL or CL final
Can’t say fairer than that.
You think our sides are shiete, cheaters and snides - lump on. I’m saying last year was a one off and we won’t see a mixture of bad luck shiete management like it this season.

Absolutely not. You have the most expensively assembled team in history in the 2nd tier competition. If we don't make the final it will be a catastrophic failure. Then city are favourites in the CL through cheating. I don't think you quite grasp how badly England have done compared to expectations and money spent.

That's an extremely poor return considering how much English clubs spend compared to others. It should be at least one major European trophy per season minimum. Often have big English clubs spending a billion of squads being in the Europa and failing that. England should be realistically be winning both big competitions every season

Well Real Madrid and Barca have a huge advantage given their tax write offs, share of tv money compared to elite English clubs and general pulling power.
Bayern hoover up the best German talent and can afford massive fees also.
Champions league winners over the last 20 years that weren’t one of these clubs or an English club numbers 2 - Inter and AC with one win each.
Generally the English sides don’t take the Europa too seriously - the money from CL qualification tends to take precedent. Even so we still have 3 winners in the last 20 years which outside of Sevilla is pretty decent - Germany and Italy have 1 each each despite Inter/AC/Dortmund/Leverkusen all partaking in that time period.

I mean Real madrids squad is a Billion £ and they are adding Endrick and Mbappe to that - not sure it’s a travesty Barry if an English side loses to that - let’s be honest, that’s an equal playing field.
Bayern spent £100m on Kane last summer and didn’t win a single thing
Barca are finally getting their financial come uppance and quietly faaack off now.
Juve are skint and can’t do anything.
Inter are decent but aren’t going to trouble Madrid or City.
CL next year = Madrid/City/Bayern - that order
EL next year = United/Roma/Bilbao/Spurs/Lazio/Porto
Johnstone paint conference Zenith shield = Chelsea
Failure would be having less than 2 finalists and one winner in my opinion

As per, you avoid questions you have no coherent answer for, and instead just move the goalposts.
But I'll entertain you anyway.
Perhaps one important reason is that they've only ever had 42 entrants in total, and only 16 in total in the entire 20th century, which means that for most of the history of the World Cup, they were almost entirely prevented from gaining valuable experience and some much needed exposure to help them expand the game.
Europe has had more than 6 times that amount.
Do you think Asia would have done worse if they'd had 250+ entries than with the 42 they've had?
Actually, I can save you the bother of answering.
According to your logic of dilution, they'd have actually done worse because they'd have knocked each other out more.
And continuing with your deranged logic, even if their teams on average perform better than Europe's, they still shouldn't be better represented, as it would only make them worse.
