I don't know what system EA used to pic leagues for the game; seems to me it was randomly.

The fair way was to pic any 10 or 15 first leagues. Otherwise it make the game with no sence. Am I wrong?

What is the ranking based on? I don't know about the top 15. Scottish Premier is #18 but I think it deserves to be in. After all, Glasgow Rangers just knocked Parma out of the Champion's League. There are also 3 teams in the UEFA Cup, one of which will definitely go on, and the other two may or may not advance.

How much was the score of Parma-Rangers really?

1-0 Parma. Rangers win 2-1 on agg.

Well, you know Rangers and Celtic are really good teams, but the others...
Well if Kilmarnokl ost to reikjavic...
Now about russian league: this's the really good championship. What can you say about Spartac, Lokomotiv, and Zenit has Panov-one of the best forwards in the world.
I think that dutch league is weaker and french too, but they are 4 and 5, and included, and russia not. Besides there are
Israel and Turkey,Dania,Belgia,Sweden.
I can't understand it.

Jimmious did you think I was joking?

Just a small update on the 3 teams in the UEFA Cup. Celtic advance winning 10-0 agg, Killie advance 2-1 agg, and St. Johnstone advance 3-1 agg.

Rangers have drawn Bayern Munich, PSV Eindhoven and Valencia for the next round. I think none of these teams present a bigger challenge than Parma, so hopefully Rangers will make it past this round without much trouble.

GLORY GLORY GLASGOW RANGERS!

What is the ranking based on?

For example a country has 4 clubs in Eurocups, they had 20 points(2 points for a victory, 1 point for draw) in eurocups(no difference between UEFA cup, Champions league and Cup winners cup earlier) . Then 20/4=5 the country had 5 points this year, and in UEFA ratings countries has ponits points from last 5 years, for example before this eurocups points wac from 94/95, 95/96, 96/97, 97/98, 98/99 seasons. And points and qualification rounds are 1(normal 2 points/2) for a victory and 0.5(normal 1 point/2) for a draw.

Goody,
thanx, I forgot.
