Is anyone watching this Liverpool vs Cardiff Carling Cup game?

Liverpool pulled head just about halfway through ET and Cardiff just equalized with 2 mins left in ET.

On a side note I notice that the winner gets an entry to Europa League. I've heard some posters on CP diss the Europa because it isn't as prestigious and that they'd rather their team focus on the EPL in hopes of securing a CL spot. I guess I'm just curious, in a ranking of importance where does the Carling Cup rank to you guys? What about Europa? I know there are a few Liverpool fans on here. Are you ecstatic if they win this game? Crushed if they lose? Don't give a crap?

Based on my understanding it would be something like CL/EPL at the top, followed by the FA Cup? then Europa and Carling Cup?

No one actually cares about stuff like the FIFA club world cup do they? Or what about the one off games like the Community Shield? Are they just glorified exhibition games? What about the EUFA Super Cup?
