Carling Cup QF Draw. Soccer Saturday (SSN) from 12PM. 29th Oct.

The reason its harder this year and recently, and hence means more as a trophy, is because only 2/3 teams have a chance of the PL each year, and even less in the CL. So the CC is many clubs only hope for a cup. In the past more teams stood a better chance at the league IMO.

Isn't it because clubs in Europe, who are by definition mostly the better clubs, only have to play about 2 games before they're in the quarter finals?
