You 8-2 See One Team Score 9 Times- The Other Teams Thread

That's one of the many reasons why we don't have a super league even though if one was predicting the future back in 2000 they'd be thinking that the 15th annual super league trophy would have been handed out by now. It's just not feasible unless the super league is under 20 matchdays long, in which case why not just keep in the CL?

 

I wonder if these big teams that are going to go into a Super League think they won't end up becoming a minnow. They'll go from fighting for 4th or 5th in the PL to being Stoke level in no time. Who will want to pay to see that? Won't those revenues drop for that club?

 

Madrid vs United becomes a lot less interesting when it’s played 2x a year as part of a 38-game slate and the other opponents are Barca, Liverpool, Juve, etc.

Taking all the big teams and putting them in one league inevitably means that these games won’t be as special anymore. Everything is relative.

Destroying the domestic leagues would absolutely ruin the sport IMO.


Also I’m amazed that any Madridista would want to essentially hit reset on our accomplishments by moving past our accomplishments in La Liga and the CL. We would basically be putting ourselves on the same level as PSG, starting from the same position. If you supersede the CL and domestic competition no one is going to care that you once dominated them for more than half a century.

 

I think the Super league will be a complete breakaway from FIFA. The players playing for the teams in the SL won't be playing for their national team. The international teams and FAs are all FIFA-sanctioned. The NBA players were not allowed to play in FIBA events before 1989 because NBA was not a part of US basketball. I am not against the SL, but there will be many many issues.

 

I am fully against the SL

To me domestic league and CL are sacred

 

I would prefer to see the best teams in Europe playing the other best teams in Europe as long as the teams don't start playing it so safe we see teams playing ultra defensive.

 

I’m on the fence. Surely we’d need to see the proposed logistics before really knowing what a SL would mean for European football.

If a team reaches a CL final they will play 13 games in total, big teams on average will probably play around 10 CL games a year. A SL can’t just follow a normal domestic league format without adding an obscene amount of games in a season.

Perhaps the SL follows a similar layout to the CL.

 

The oil clubs would be part of making the rules for this new league, as opposed to (having to pay off people to) adhere to them. I don't think that would change much for the better.

The fact that a horribly financially run team like Barcelona wants to join this new league badly, shows me that they don't put such a big emphasis on sound financial regulations within this new league.

 

Koeman drops Fati and Dest for their game against Juventus.

Roberto, Griezmann, Dembele starting

 

There's a whole plethora of top European clubs that have recently spoken out against the spending by certain oil-money clubs, including even the likes of Chelsea have expressed concern. City and PSG would definitely have a harder time pulling the wool over the eyes of other clubs in a SL vs. UEFA's corruption, that's a certainty given the way the SL would be set-up.

 

Was just going to slate the bt pundits for going on and on about messi instead of fati being the main threat...then i realised he isnt playing.

Koeman is a stranger tactician than zidane

 

2 goals ruled out for Morata. VAR

 

Juve’s midfield is slower than ours

 

True

 

The one Mason Greenwood scored for United is very suspect.

 

Juve are making Barcelona look good out there, Dembele is so talented, shame he is such a bum.
