exactly.
Most nikkas in here regularly watch matches involving teams they don't even support but I'm meant to believe you won't be watching thisto be honest...the allure of seeing your squad play teams in Europe will go away when theyre doing it every week lol. I personally wont watch...certainly not as an Arsenal fan whose team will get batried every year. might gamble on it though
most people will certainly be watching. i personally have outgrown really caring about the EPL and Arsenal is shyt so I will pass. I dont even really bet on soccer because i suck at it so I dont really see myself missing too much. I feel sorry for my brit brehs and die hards though. Cause they will be forced to watchMost nikkas in here regularly watch matches involving teams they don't even support but I'm meant to believe you won't be watching this
You all need to behave, I'm gonna be watching, you gonna be watching, we all gonna be watching
they couldn't even convince a French or German team to join. Thats SHOCKING.I think the Superleague idea is such a short sighted decision by a lot of the clubs joining. And some of them have too much faith their domestic leagues won't just back FIFA/UEFA and ban them from domestic competition unless they drop a heavy bag in negotiations.
At the end of the day this is just the big clubs from 3 countries wanting a yearly "Champions League" were they can make more money initially and guarantee participation no matter what. But if national leagues stand their grounds, they are fukked, imo.
By 2025 the novelty of seeing these teams compete in an NFL-like format will wear thin because I don't see them grasping the "every week/match matters" feeling the NFL has. At the end of the day no one gives a flying fukk about Arsenal facing Juventus or AC Milan playing Atletico. shyt, by year five, I don't think people will get as hyped about Manchester vs Real or Barcelona vs Liverpool after they've seen it every damn year. And I have a hard time picturing them being able to create rivalries with such a short ass pool of teams.
We know money will make or break this though. I don't think anyone should be shocked if the Superleague is able to replace the UCL as the primary European competition after they are able to negotiate with FIFA an obscene amount of money for the rights to stay in national competitions and letting players play in international football
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.

Another thing we have to think about. If this happens. What's stopping a Boca, River, Club America, Sao Paulo, Flamengo from wanting to join up, with the support base and History they come with

PSG's owner is on the executive committee and German ownership rules and fans mean that a German club won't break the ranks like this. These clubs have just got the ball rolling and this is the start of everyone coming to terms with it happening which is why you are seeing all this posturing but best believe PSG, Bayern, Dortmund, Lyon, Marseilles have had discussions with the other clubs and some of them will be part of this when it happens.they couldn't even convince a French or German team to join. Thats SHOCKING.
