UEFA Cup
Yes, my mistake, I was trying to be helpful to an editor who couldn't get the hang of the table and I didn't read the column headers. Whoops. Black Kite 00:41, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

UEFA Europa League 2009-10
Just a note mate that might be of use - the runners up of a Domestic cup do qualify for Europe if the winners are already in the Champions League or Europa League. Ie. Falkirk are now guaranteed a place in the Europa league in Scotland even if they end up losing the final to Rangers. --Simonski (talk) 16:46, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Have a look for example at the following link:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_cups/8015682.stm


 * Note the caption under the picture "Falkirk are now assured of a first ever crack at European competition". I can't point you in the direction of any specific rule since I don't really know where to look but if you look it up yourself you will eventually find it I am sure. Its a long established rule in modern football that the cup runners up qualify for Europe if the cup winners are already qualified via their league placing. Hell, even check the Serie A 1998-99 season, at the bottom of the page - there was a playoff to determine who was 3rd in the cup because both finalists had already qualified for Europe via the league.


 * I think what may be mixing you up man is that a number of the leagues wanted to abolish the runner up cup European entry rule, ie. Scotland, England - but Platini wants to maintain the importance of Domestic cups so rejected this suggestion. Hopefully you now believe me! Trust me I know for a fact it happens, I was hoping Juventus would get to the Coppa Italia final the other week because then my team would have been guaranteed a place in Europe!! --Simonski (talk) 14:59, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Just thinking also, you might be getting matters confused with the situation with League cups which they have in Scotland, England and a few other places, which are separate from the Domestic FA Cups that are also held in those countries. --Simonski (talk) 15:05, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Egypt v Australia
You're right about this match is up on FIFA website, which I found it strange as I live in Australia and follow the Socceroos and I haven't heard any annoucement that we will play Egypt in a friendly match. You can check the socceroos homepage now, there is no information about this match. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Viva69 (talk • contribs) 07:36, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Yeah I looked at the FFA site yesterday and there is nothing there but the FFA are also notorious for delaying the release of information. Umarghdunno (talk) 08:01, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

It's not happening after all :)

Problem with your custom signature
You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.


 * Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Remove anything in the text box.  (It might already be empty.)
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
 * Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
 * Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
 * Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
 * Click the blue "" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Signatures. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
