Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[J Money]

If the Champions League still continues it'll be fukking lit. Ajax, Benfica, Roma, Sevilla, Porto, OL, Celtic, Rangers, Monaco

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

When Ole plays Mcfred against Kroos and Modric.

I have no horse in this race but creating an MLS Europe is wild.

Let NFL owners buy your clubs brehs.

 

[mastermind]

lowkey the US system of league organization actually works better.

No it doesn’t

It’s also anticompetitive.

 

[The Villain]

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

I'm watching whatever footy is on
Whether it's the super league or the current system. Makes me no difference but it's funny watching all these billionaires owners and FIFA/UEFA fight like either one of them have any moral standing

 

[Osmar]

They really are going to do this super league shyt

Basically this. Football is dead. Might as let it burn.

It’s eventually gonna include MLS teams, if this really takes off.

People are going to find out real quick. What they have essentially done is created an American sports centric league. Pretty much an NBA or NFL.

So what happens if all the big National teams say Fukk FIFA, The WC and let's just start our own thing amongst ourselves, they only really come to see us. Cause that will happen, if this Super League thing goes on.

Some Bayern fan was trolling and these accounts believed him.

That 49% commerical share of the Bundesliga club is the saving grace. Only Leipzig would sign up for the Super League.

They will. More teams like Rangers, Celtic and the other European teams will follow suit. Probably their own versions of League 1 and 2.
