oops..
Sorry Phil, I am wrong
Top 5 = Europe.
If chelsea or arsenal win FA cup, top 6 = Europe.
BUT.... FIFA award an extra UEFA cup place to the country who have the best 'fair play.'
they work out who is the fairest country by adding points for fair play, and deduct points for red/yellow cards.
Check this out:
'In its efforts to promote fair play, UEFA establishes fair play rankings for each season based on all matches played in all UEFA competitions (national, representative, and club teams) between 1 June and 31 May.
In establishing these rankings, only those associations whose teams have played at least the required number of matches (total number of matches assessed divided by the number of associations) are taken into account.
For this purpose, fair play conduct is assessed by the appointed UEFA match delegate. In reward for the fair play example they set, a maximum of three associations which attain a previously defined standard (average of 8.0 points or more in the rankings) each receive one additional place in the UEFA Cup of the next season.
These additional places are reserved for the winners of the respective domestic top-division fair play competition. If the winners of the domestic top-division fair play competition have already qualified for a UEFA club competition, the UEFA fair play place goes to the highest team in the domestic fair play rankings which has not already qualified for a UEFA competition.'
