Like ElvenPath mentioned; all of the major teams from their respective European football leagues have to qualify first for a spot (Usually a team ranked from 1-5th in the league standings by the end of the season), and then gain that qualification to play in the UEFA Champions League.

And no; football riots generally occur in the more hostile crowds such as the Italians, the Greeks, and the Turks. The rest of us are sensible football fans.
What we know.

1. No hands except for the Goalie
2. 2 yellows your ejected, 1 red your ejected
3. there's a lot of passing
4. the clock doesn't stop
5. theres something called stoppage time that makes no sense at all.

What we know about FOOTBALL

1. 11 men on the field at one time per team
2. There's a defensive squad and an offensive squad
3. you have 4 downs to make 10 yards and recieve another down
4. the field is 100 yards
5. they play on sundays and eveyrone skips church that day
6. 6 points for a touchdown 3 for a fieldgoal.
7. after scoring a touch down, you can make a field goal for 1 point or a 2 point conversion
8. we play in rain, snow, shine, wind, fake grass, hail
9. the coach gets the gatorade dunk after the end of a big game
10. the league is split into 2 confrences NFC and AFC
11. each confrence is split into 4 divisions.
12. The superbowl is the game where if any man goes out on that day, he's a fag

Anything else I missed?
