Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - It's Amad World

[Roberto Firmino]

I see your point, and yeah let's say we did what you suggested and limit the places for let's say all the top 5 leagues to 2 spaces each. We then give them extra spaces out to other leagues who normally fall at like the qualifying rounds or leagues who don't get places to make it more fairer all round.

From the qfs we would still have the same teams each year and it would be the ones from the top 5 leagues every time
Do you think one of the lesser leagues say like the Romanian league or Belarus league is going to have a team get past the top teams once it get to the knockout stages ?

You will still see much more variety and I think that with the added money those teams and leagues are getting (due to solidarity payments, etc) you will eventually see the gap lessen.

Football has been going downhill over the years anyway, flashy players like Neymar are being phased out & teams are all about results fukk playing good football. The Super League just cements it

 

[TobiOT]

So what are y'all doing? Still supporting your clubs? Or just casual now?

This is the sport equivalent of launching a strike then negotiating a ceasefire or detente.

Do we seriously believe all these clubs will be ok with being kicked out of domestic competition next year? Or that the leagues will stay firm on this? There’ll be some sort of climb down, but it does seem like a PR disaster for the clubs.

I sound dramatic but this is making me feel sick.

Imagine signing up to join a tournament that is chaired by A SITTING PRESIDENT of Real fukking Madrid


We already question their favourable treatment in Europe and now you wanna tell me that they will OFFICIALLY be running this bytch? Competition integrity already in the mud and a ball hasn't been kicked


Watch Real Madrid win like 7 of the first 10 titles

UEFA panicking like a mf. They got no legal leg to stand on . Talking about we gonna sue....they don’t own the game or these teams.

Next step is what happens if they ban the players and those countries’ FA say “fukk fifa” we gonna create our own international competition

 

[TobiOT]

They gonna be doing a NBA style draft now?

Gonna have Superbowl halftime shows?

They gonna get Stephen A Smith on there? Imagine his analysis on McTominay?
