There's always the Europa League, no?

Day -637. WorldCup2018

Another short one.

The European club competition that most teams are embarrassed to qualify for started today. For teams like Manchester United it's a reminder that they finished outside the top 4 in England last season. And for the Italian teams, Roma and Napoli, it's another year of not being quite good enough to win a qualifying round to get into the Champions League. And so the competition of sour losers will carry on with an overall sense of Thursday grumpiness until April when the remaining teams will realise that there's only 8 of them left and there a good chance they could win this thing.

And just like Liverpool they will put a lot of effort in and lose in the final to Sevilla, again.
