And one team out of each half-table would reach the final. What would people think of that ? If people put the effort/investment to build a fantastic team, they deserve to beat me! But I won't be an easy prey to catch, be sure of that!
From the other side people don't want to watch such games like Argentina - Faeroe Islands. Because everyone knows in advance who will win this game. I just wonder why people from UEFA in the starting round of champions league made 2 roads - the road of the champions and the road of other teams struggling against each other to get to the main stages. Otherwise the champion of let's say Armenia or Norway had to play against 2d/3d team of the spain (e.g. Barcelona). Do you think such small teams would ever have chances to get to the main stages. And such a holiday of football like CH.LEAGUE would never reach these small countries and in the main stage there would be only the battle of football giants
