Good. This shows that it's just a friendly cup, and hopefully this will teach fans to stop overrating some cups, such as this one. Dude, why do you have a yellow card? You're not a troll.
Italy and France already play their Super Cup abroad. The Trophée des Champions for example will be in New York this year...
Confirmed. The RFEF will receive €30 million to play five of the next seven Supercopas in China beginning in 2013. An "important part" of the money will go to the clubs participating. http://www.rfef.es/index.jsp?nodo=8&ID=2813 http://www.marca.com/2012/06/01/futbol/1338570085.html
