The reason people over look Spain is their past record as massive underachievers - though Ukraine looked oddly jaded last night and Shevchenko looked like a starving man on his own up front, Spain were quality.  I think that the Spanish nation has woken to the fact that club football is not the be all and end all and that it's all very well having the best club side in Europe, but the national side was in danger of becoming a joke.  I think they are as good a bet as anyone, except perhaps the Czech Republic who went off at odds which didn't really match their excellent chance of winning....

Because there are more good teams on this continent. Even so, many European countries can’t be there, although they would be more deserving than some others.

They are a team from the Romanian league, their president is kind of crazy and got suspended from the team activities until the end of the season.\n\nThey are in the champion league group with Real Madrid and Lyon and will probably finish last\n\nHope I helped

According to Real Madrid tradition their captain is chosen among the players with the most years in the institution. With this rule the #1 capitain in Raul (who is currently injured), then Guti and then Roberto Carlos. This has been a long tradition and they have kept it this way for a long time.

I would go to the companies websites. They probably like to brag about how many pro players use their clubs. Or you could try a google search of individual players to get info on them.

There are other competitions that are scheduled round it such as the European cup, this is every 4 years too. So European teams spend the first 2 years after the world cup qualifying for and playing in the Euro Championships then once these are over qualifying for the world cup.

No team has played all the prem seasons without qualifying for Europe, but Southampton and Charlton played the most without qualifying. If you had asked this question in April this year, then Southampton would have been the answer!

Not completely right but you are onto something. The important thing is that players are challenged in their own leagues. Some of the best leagues in the world are in Europe, but You should also consider others like Brazil, Argentina and Mexico as very competitive leagues.

Brazil.If you see the number of Brazilian players playing in Europe you are astonished.Not only that,if you look at the Champions League the number of Brazilian players is much greater than that of Argentinian players.Look at clubs like : Ac Milan,Inter Milan,Juventus,Real Madrid and many more.But I would also like to say that Argentinian contribution is growing very fast and it is getting closer to Brazil's.

Historically, there are many good clubs, based on their results, and how many Europe titels they claimed, UEFA for example, plus titles from their own country. \nFor example with UEFA Champion league:\nReal Madrid:  Nine times, and three as runner up\nAC Milan: six times, and four as runner up.

All teams play in their domestic (home country) leagues. Teams finishing in the top 2, 3 or 4 places (depending on previous success) qualify for the UEFA Champions League. Teams from the major European countries (Spain, Italy, England, Germany) usually have three of four qualifiers. It is called the 'Champions League' because until 1993 a team had to win the national championship to qualify. Alas, this is no longer a requirement and teams can become 'Champions of Europe' without winning their own domestic league first.\nTeams from less succesful nations (e.g. Scotland, Belgium, Switzerland) may only have one or two qualifiers, and some countries with no proven history of success, and newcomers (Latvia, Estonia, Luxembourg) enter their Champions into a qualifying tournament.\nA consolation prize for teams finishing below the Champions League Qualification is the UEFA Cup. Teams placed from 3rd to as low as 6th place, plus the domestic knock-out cup winners, compete in this competition. The confusion for some is that some early eliminated teams from the Champions League are also put into the draw for this competition.\nMost countries in Europe have at least one professional domestic league (in England, the FA Carling Premiership; in Spain the Liga; in Germany the Bundesliga and in Italy the Serie A) and then depending on the numbers of registered players in a country several professional leagues below this one. In England there are a further three professional leagues in a tier system before amateur leagues.
