    Getting that way. Will watch the semi finals and final, usually great games but the same teams facing each other every year is getting dull.

    Boring since league format was introduced. Should be League winners from each country all in the mix together, straight 2 leg knock out, no seeding and the winner might come from somewhere other than the usual suspects.

    No the winner would still be the Spanish/English/German/French/Italian/Portuguese champions 99 times out of 100.

    They should just draw the semis and be done with it: Barcelona, Real Madrid, Munich plus one random team that people that in Norway, India and China just have to support.

    Like every other aspect of our lives, big business taking over, spoon feeding us their crap and people are lapping it up.

    Boring.

    Boring.
    Dull as ditchwater.

    Absolutely no interest in football at that level as it's nigh on impossible to relate to it anymore.

    The Kaiser Bill select.

    Great defensively, but The Famous can grind out a result with an attritional game plan.

    Group stages were very entertaining this year. But, I'm so fed up of Bayern, Real and Barca. Hope they all have a shocker in the RO16.

    Could argue that even a French, Italian or Portuguese winning would be good for a change.

    They don't have a special relationship with this cup anymore; not after vlad delivered it as promised by 2008. Job done.

    Italy have 3 in the last 15 years (as many as England and 1 more than Germany) and last years runner up, they have done very well and are close to overtaking England in the co-efficient. Agree with the other 2 but French would only be possible because of PSGs oil money.
