Both European Cup competitions, but which is the bigger and more prestgious to win.
I would say it is definately the Champions League. This is watched by more people. The teams are of a higher standard and the play is better.
Club football has been bigger than international football for a while now.
The number of Supporters you hear say, I love Celtic but lost all interest in Scotland is amazing. Same to a lesser extent in England. When an England friendly is on, people just moan that there's no Premier League footbal that weekend.
Vote 5 for Champions League and 1 for Euros 2012.
Champions League Trophy or Euros 2012

The Champions League is yearly. The 4 year wait on the Euros makes it a wee bit more special. I am just glad my wee country qualified.
I love the Champs League as well, though it is a bit predictable. The Euros throws up a lot of shocks, Spain won it for the first time ever last time and Greece won it the time before. We also had one of the greatest teams ever France win it in 2000, an over the hill Germany that had no chance in 1996 and Denmark in 1992.
5 different winners in 5 competitions, 2 rank outsiders, 3 of them first time winners. Exciting, anyone in the tournament could, with a wee bit of luck and top play, actually win it.

Good point about it being only 4 years. I just can't get that carried away about England. Maybe I will if they get to the latter stages. I take more pride in one of my teams doing well in the CL.

Sounds like you are a glory hunter truey and not a true fan. Maybe I will if they get to the latter stages, is not a statement of a true fan. I am excited right now, living in a foreign country were there is not a huge Irish population locally. Cannot wait though, I feel the exact same as I do when Celtic(My ONLY team) play in Europe.
How many teams do you support again? 7?

Mojie, I am 100% a patriot which I support a few clubs but England I'm less fussed about. I'm sure I'll have my flags out if we get out of the group into the knockout stages when it becomes more exciting

You are 100% a patriot but not fussed about England.
That only makes since if you are not English. If you are, it is a direct contradiction.

Truey sounds like he's on the sauce. Typing gibberish that conradicts his previous comment.
Sounds like a glory hunter

And hard to compare both trophies as one is a club trophy and the other an international.
I'd rather see Celtic win the CL than Scotland win the Euros
