European football trivia
So the answer of the initial question tends to be Scotland !
Yes. It's this article and the comments underneath that prompted it. I'd been aware of Dundee United's expoits, but completely unaware of those of their city rivals. Dundee is tiny in comparison to the other cities on the list. Population 141,000. All the others are over a million.Arges Pitesti wrote:So the magnificent 10 are:
Milan (Milan Inter)
London (Chelsea Arsenal)
Glasgow (Celtic Rangers)
Dundee (FC United)
Budapest (Vasas Ujpest)
Bucarest (Steaua Dinamo)
Vienna (Austria Rapid)
Praga (Dukla Sparta)
Madrid (Atleti Real)
Belgrade (CZ Partizan)
all right?
No to Superleague

It's a pity that 7 of the cities above (and many more other) haven't had and will most likely not have a semifinalist for a very long time. This list is a sad proof of how much diversity we have lost since Bosman and the big money came into football.Arges Pitesti wrote:So the magnificent 10 are:

Now there are two such countries after Manchester joins the list.
No to Superleague
Now with all this talk of formats and
the optimism of Fifa', that there will still be 48 countries in 2026.
Of the two teams who played in the first Euro Champs final, how many countries are they now?

I think Rapid Wien lost to Everton in Europe Cup Final in 1984. Austria Wien to Anderlecht in late 70's. So the 10th would be Liverpool!Kutuz_off wrote:Liverpool (for sure)/ Everton(?)

This has been answered. The answer was Scotland, Glasgow and Dundee. Of course, this thread was opened before Man City reached the semis last season. Now England joined the club with London and Manchester.SteffenM wrote:England.

It'd be interesting guessing which city will join the club next. It may take a while, but I suppose the main candidates are Liverpool, Rome, Lisbon, Moscow and Barcelona. Which one of Everton, Lazio, Sporting (or Belenenses lol), CSKA/Lokomotiv/Dinamo/Other or Espanyol do you think will make it first?
.....i think 1) Lazio b) Sporting c) a Mockba-club....... to answer your question.......
In France, no town has two Ligue 1-club. From paris, maybe one day 2 clubs may participate in a european Cup (by the national cup or the league-cup, a second Peris team could qualify, others have already,), but they won't reach the semi-finals. Also possible participations...Marseille (Olympique and Consolat)
