Head-to-head for leagues
For a start this will be for the A-League, English Premiership and the Spanish La Liga.
The Champions League will be drafted in the latter stages because at the moment the teams have just played a single match and therefore there isn't much to show for that.
For this weekend, in the A-League the head-to-head will be for the Adelaide/Newcastle Jets match and for the English Premiership it will be the Chelsea/Liverpool match.
For the Spanish Primera Division it will be the Seville/Real Madrid match.

Europa League to replace Uefa Cup
48 teams will form twelve groups of four with the top two from each group plus the third placed Champions League teams going into the knockout phase.
In this format this is a competition that could be featured on TipsChallenge but it will depend on whether a lot of people are interested in the competition.
Increasing to 48 teams is good because it means it will cover more teams and countries but it also means that some of
the teams may not be known by many people outside the country they play in.
Now Full Time Analysis
Apart from the name change everything else will remain the same including the url which will remain the same.
I decided that it was better to give the blog its own identity and a name that reflects the kind of posts posted on this blog.
The posts on this blog will predominantly be analysis of goals and varied statistics and so the name Full Time Analysis seems close enough to what this blog is all about.
From time to time there will be TipsChallenge centric posts but the bulk of the posts will continue to be football centric.
2008 AFC Champions League kicks off
Unfortunately TipsChallenge will not be running this competition this year but the competition will be considered at some stage in the future.
The AFC Champions League is getting more interesting with the addition of two A-League clubs to the competition and it is promised there will be some changes in the near future.
Unlike the UEFA Champions League where all matches start at the same time save for any being played in Russia, this is not possible for the AFC Champions League because of the different timezones the matches are played in.
One thing that will make the competition even more interesting is when two teams can go to the next round instead of one as it is at the moment.
