[Baka's Weird Case]

its scary how much power people like this have over the sport

 

[Roberto Firmino]

Where’s he gonna go lol?

Barca has been the talk since the summer but I don't know if he's played himself out of that one with how terrible he's been, I'd guess it depends on if Ronald sticks around or not

They're only 2 hours long, how much shorter could they be?

why cant the game be four quarters
15 min quarters with commercials where we can sell tv ads

u don't have a clue. There's more Dolphins and Falcons fans in north FLA than JAX for starters

That literally has NOTHING to do with the point. It's not about who has MORE fans. It's the fact those towns wanted NFL teams and they got them. People were happy. Either way the point was that to say there's no loyalty in NFL teams is simply bullshyt. The Lions, Browns, Dolphins, Cardinals, Jets and Bears are TESTAMENTS to the fact people will live and DIE by their dogshyt teams.

most valuable nhl teams

rangers
leafs
canadiens

don't get it twisted

On value, yes you are correct. So I'll eat that one. But they haven't been shyt in years in terms of relevance and competitiveness. Also, Montreal and Toronto don't have NFL teams...a big factor.

Also, I said if the NHL made a super league it would include the Original Six of which the Canadiens and the Leafs are a part of.

Ajax, one of the most legendary clubs in football, is considered of less value than Tottenham man

A victim of playing in a small ass country. If Ajax was in Germany or Italy people would laud it like it was Bayern or Juve.
If there was no Ajax, Barca would just be Separatist Espanyol. Ain't no fukkin way a team that's never won its current domestic league even be thought of for this league. Levy bout to catch the W of a century.

No salary cap
Spain isn't that rich
La Liga is a shyt show too.

Barcelona have even bigger issues. Nine figure transfer fees + players making 600K or more a week, it's not sustainable.



He's not wrong on this.

The Champions League has become stale. Same teams, boring matches. I don't know if this helps but I do miss the old days.

The shyt should just be a 48 team knock out from day 1. No groups...group play is for the WC.

Bro... get out of here, lol. Next you're gonna suggest we give them timeouts.








Please don't do this

"Our research shows we'll need to get it down to 10 TikToks a half"

 

[Premeditated]

10 group games?

uefa more out of touch than Mourinho football

I might have to support the Super League if it means I won't have to listen to people cry about Trent Alexander-Arnold not getting called up anymore

wrong thread.. tho i'll save this spot for another hot take on the esl

 

[Hoodoo Child]

Because Fifa also sided with Uefa

Any FIFA sanctioned tournament, so all the players from every confederation would suffer the consequeneces....No Messi for Argentina, no Suarez for Uruguay, No Gabriel Jesus for Brasil, No Mo Salah for Egypt....etc
