four 'English' teams YES!!
not sure how happy the sponsors will be with the possibility (depending on the draw) of all the semifinalists coming from England
I'm not expecting that will happen, even if the draw could allow it - but it's an interesting idea in my view
(i wonder if UEFA would try to ensure that there is at least one all-Engish quarter - they probably won't need to as it is a more likely outcome than 4 English teams drawing non-English opposition)

English teams all get foreign teams: 11%

history suggests so LF1, and history suggests (touch wood) that the right team will progress

looking at when the first quarters are scheduled, arsenal will draw Manu or Liverpool, so we end up playing either team 3 times in under 2 weeks.
