Super_Ally 0 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Do the SPL's losers, sorry I mean runners-up still get to go, or will they be playing CL qualifiers instead? :devil: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'll answer my own question then, NO!!! BBC Atlante replace Celtic for Villa O'Neill would have faced Celtic for the first time since leaving in May 2005 Aston Villa will face Mexican side Atlante in the group stages of the Peace Cup after Scottish giants Celtic were forced to withdraw. Villa boss Martin O'Neill was set to face his former club for the first time but the Hoops must now play in the Champions League qualifying stages. Atlante are the CONCACAF Champions League holders, meaning they have qualified for the Fifa Club World Cup. The other team drawn in Group C are Spanish side Malaga. Villa's involvement in the competition will begin against the La Liga side on Saturday 25 July before taking on the Central American club champions four days later. If O'Neill's side win their group they will go through to the semi-finals of the tournament, which includes Real Madrid, FC Porto, Juventus and Lyon. The winners of the Peace Cup will receive more than �£1.5m in prize money More lost income for the first losers. :spl: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Ally 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 I thought the Champions:spl: would have went in there place We're at the Emirates instead. :spl: Better fee for being at the Emirates I'm sure I read elsewhere. Perhaps not more than �£1.5mil, but would we have won the peace cup? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,625 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Oh right I never realised that was the same time. I don't know about winning either of them but it's just good to be involved in competitions like that instead of the CL Qualifiers 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
