Football European Super League

Recommended Posts

The biggest scandal in sports is boiling. Various medias are reporting that 12 of the richest clubs have agreed to the Superleague and it will be unveiled tomorrow! Those in question are:

:ITA Juventus, Inter, Milan

:ESP Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid

:ENG Chelsea, Man. U, Man. C, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham

 

German and French teams have rejected the idea.

 

FIFA/UEFA came out with a big statement, that any club and their players who take part in such a coup will be thrown out and banned from any International, National and National Team competitions and lawsuits for 50 billion will follow. 

 

I hope they do go and ban them all. I am sick and tired of the rich getting richer and all the kneeling that has been done to them in the last 15 years. But their greed is endless.. Case point yet again, was the new CL format that was going to be voted, which shockingly benefits only the biggest clubs and would introduce the Wild Cards, if you fumble in the domestic league.. 

 

This thing ruined basketball in Europe and i thought football was way bigger to happen to it, but here we are. I hope they go further and have every Broadcaster that buys the Superleague to never have any other football rights given to them.

This was always just a matter of time, most people only care about the top clubs and their matches against each other, that's where the money is, both for the clubs and for broadcasters.

Yeah, good luck with that. Broadcasters will prefer the super league over anything FIFA or UEFA can offer, as it can be the most watched sports league ever.

Yes, those people are called gloryhunters and come from your Asian/US markets. I'm sure they would be ecstatic about the idea, since they care only about the shiny package.

 

Too bad they don't have the power real football fans have. I think you are underestimating what the fans of those clubs really want. From the stuff i've seen in the last few hours, everyone is against the Superleague and when you have those fierce english rivals unite, it says a lot for me. Let's see how far you can go, when your home fans boycott you. If those clubs think this last year was tough, they better be prepared.

 

As for the broadcasters, i don't know what the situation is in Hungary, but here, our God-awful domestic clubs and league still has the biggest ratings, even if they also show another 10 top Leagues. The notion that fans only want to watch 10 clubs, who play each other a gazillion times is very deceiving.

 

If you are having at the same time a Conference League match Levski Sofia - Fehervar and a CL one Liverpool - Inter Milan, there is no doubt that the Levski match will be the more watched one.

Good luck in CAS when you say (let's take one player as example) Messi can't play for Argentina anymore because he played for FC Barcelona in a Superleague match...

 

And 50 billion, lol. Don't get me wrong, not a fan at all of this Superleague nonsense, but FIFA/UEFA's response is (expectedly) ridiculous.

The Asian and US market combined is bigger than Europe. And just like with movies, the interest of Chinese people in particular will dictate a lot of things in the coming decades in the entertainment industries, which professional sport is part of. This is also why the idea of the 2022 Winter Olympics boycott is ludicrous, as if NHL would ever let this opportunity to market their sport in China go to waste. And home fans don't provide a significant income for the top clubs, it's all about the broadcasting rights and the merchandise they can sell. Literally every loyal fan of these 12 clubs can call it quits and never watch a single match again, and the clubs wouldn't notice it financially as the stadiums would still be full once COVID is over, just with even more "fake fans" than usual.

I also find it silly that the fans are cheering for UEFA and FIFA. This fight isn't about the proposal of the Super League, it's about who will organize it and about how much the top clubs will get. UEFA wants to still be in charge, but they are also not fools, and know that they can make more money with a Super League. UEFA will just slowly turn the Champions League into a Super League if they reach an agreement with the top clubs.

Yeah, fifa and uefa have no leverage in this, legal nor financially speaking. It would be like NBA 2.0 (and even NBA is in better terms with FIBA than these clubs would be with Fifa).

  

I think the only way to fight it is philosophical. This league would be an admission that football is purely a business and nothing else.

Especially when the ISU recently lost a case of similar nature. I believe FINA has had similar troubles preventing swimmers from competing in the ISL as well.

    • Apparently this season will be last one in Kamil Stoch career if his results wont be enough good for his standards.
    • Such a nice one for Colturi ! That was fun. It almost looked like a script with the cameras focusing on Colturi a couple of times before her first run and showcasing the potential of youngster and she didn't disappoint.      I hope Colturi skis for Albania forever. So much fun to cheer her with the Albanian flag.    I don't get it why everyone is being so critical of Colturi, you got no right to criticize a personal decision, as most European nations use imported athletes in many sports like wrestling and cheer them on like their.   Would you spend hours criticizing Frank Chamizo for switching to Italy rather than playing for Cuba? 
    • europe will arrest Satanyahu except hungary
    • Wooow Canada    Trudeau Confirms Canada Will Arrest Satanyahu Upon Visit After World Court Order   https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/world-news/canada-to-go-uk-way-on-netanyahu-arrest-trudeau-says-will-abide-by-icc-warrant-7086684/amp/1   This is the response of jew lobby : we gonna destroy the canadian economy      
    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
