wtf is up with the rest of the format changes tho? Brazil with twice as many teams (8) as everybody else other than Argentina, Argentina with only team fewer and now they combined take up 12/16 knockout round places :martin:

The same reason countries like England and Spain get more places than a country like Slovenia in the CL.

All of the leagues across the board wanted a pay increase for winning the tournament, and the best way to bring in more money was to open the tournament to more big clubs. Yeah, it sounds great to say every league has equal representation, but the truth is every league isn’t as lucrative as the Brasileirão. You sell more tickets and have higher viewership when the Brazilian clubs play. With the changes the two clubs that make the final this year are going to earn double the amount of money they got previously, and that number will probably continue to increase over the years.

Which era of Fergies era?

  • You got the late 80's drunks, McGrath, Whiteside, Robson.
  • Michael Knighton era
  • Mark Robins era
  • Sharpe & Giggs party party era.
  • Class of 92 mugging off Robbie Savage.
  • Fergie time era.
  • Over taking Liverpool era.
  • The Fergie red nose day era
  • Nothing with Kids era
  • Schmeichel and Keane in anger management.
  • Wumger era.
  • Yorke and Cole bromance.
  • Cole and Sheringham sitting next together on a long haul flight and not saying anything to each other.
  • The Rock of Gibraltar era :skip:
  • Young angry Roy Keane, prime angry Roy Keane, twilight career angry Roy Keane.
  • Cantona, Sir Becks and C dot are their own shows.

Phuck me, that about 15 seasons worth as it it, and I got about another decade to go. Might as well call it NCIS: Supernatural or something.
