Football European Super League


Federer91

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.

Only people happy with this:  

 

- The owners of those clubs.  

- Plastic fans from USA, China, India and all those countries with a lot of money but nil tradition in the sport.

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.

    • Here's the first update of my medal predictor for alpine events using results up to the World Championships.   - As per Olympic rules, only the four best athletes per nation are currently considered in the simulation (until NOC confirms who is competing or an athlete is ruled out of the Olympics due to injury/ban/etc.) - For the combined event, I just took the best performing athletes from each nation in the downhill and slalom events and simulated their combined performance. I then proceeded with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th best athletes for the nation (if applicable) - Each event is simulated 1000 times and the medalists counted. Eventually I plan to do a 10,000x simulations for more robustness, but as I may still tweak the formula I don't want to waste processing time each time I run the simulation. - While I did include the chance for an athlete to DNF the race it is currently a flat rate for all athletes. This currently benefits certain athletes which are well known to DNF races more often than expected.   Overall, this showcases the unpredictability of the sport and the accuracy difficulties predictors like GraceNote have when listing only the top 3. Looking at the percentages, for many of the events you'd actually only expect 1/3 to actually medal more often than not.   I want to create predictors for the other sports so I will only update this periodically.   Men's Downhill Rank Nation Name Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Marco Odermatt 18% 13% 11% 42% 2 Franjo Von Allmen 17% 12% 10% 39% 3 Alexis Monney 11% 10% 8% 29% 4 Miha Hrobat 9% 9% 7% 25% 5 Cameron Alexander 8% 9% 7% 24% 6 Vincent Kriechmayr 7% 5% 8% 19% 7 Dominik Paris 5% 6% 7% 18% 8 Justin Murisier 6% 5% 6% 18% 9 Daniel Hemetsberger 4% 4% 4% 12% 10 James Crawford 3% 4% 4% 11%   Men's Super-G Rank Nation Name Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Marco Odermatt 30% 16% 11% 57% 2 Stefan Rogentin 11% 11% 10% 32% 3 Raphael Haaser 10% 9% 11% 30% 4 Vincent Kriechmayr 7% 11% 10% 28% 5 Fredrik Moeller 7% 10% 10% 27% 6 Franjo Von Allmen 7% 7% 7% 21% 7 Mattia Casse 8% 6% 7% 20% 8 Cameron Alexander 6% 5% 6% 16% 9 James Crawford 4% 4% 4% 13% 10 Dominik Paris 2% 3% 4% 9%   Men's Giant Slalom Rank Nation Name Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Marco Odermatt 22% 12% 10% 45% 2 Alexander Steen Olsen 15% 13% 9% 37% 3 Loic Meillard 11% 11% 8% 30% 4 Henrik Kristoffersen 8% 9% 9% 25% 5 Thomas Tumler 5% 7% 7% 19% 6 Zan Kranjec 4% 5% 5% 14% 7 Luca De Aliprandini 4% 5% 5% 14% 8 Lucas Pinheiro Braathen 4% 4% 6% 14% 9 Stefan Brennsteiner 3% 5% 6% 14% 10 Atle McGrath 4% 5% 5% 13%   Men's Slalom Rank Nation Name Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Clement Noel 31% 16% 9% 55% 2 Atle McGrath 11% 13% 10% 33% 3 Henrik Kristoffersen 11% 11% 9% 31% 4 Timon Haugan 8% 9% 10% 27% 5 Loic Meillard 8% 10% 8% 26% 6 Manuel Feller 8% 8% 9% 24% 7 Linus Strasser 5% 5% 8% 19% 8 Lucas Pinheiro Braathen 5% 6% 7% 18% 9 Fabio Gstrein 3% 3% 5% 11% 10 Kristoffer Jakobsen 2% 3% 5% 10%   Men's Combined Rank Nation Name Gold Silver Bronze Total 1 Marco Odermatt 29% 16% 12% 57% Loic Meillard 2 Nils Allegre 20% 15% 12% 46% Clement Noel 3 Vincent Kriechmayr 13% 13% 12% 37% Manuel Feller 4 Franjo Von Allmen 9% 12% 10% 31% Daniel Yule 5 Alexis Monney 6% 8% 8% 22% Tanguy Nef 6 Daniel Hemetsberger 6% 7% 9% 21% Fabio Gstrein 7 Dominik Paris 4% 6% 6% 15% Alex Vinatzer 8 Adrian Sejersted 3% 6% 5% 15% Atle McGrath 9 Fredrik Moeller 3% 4% 6% 12% Henrik Kristoffersen 10 Cyprien Sarrazin 2% 3% 4% 9% Steven Amiez

    • Just to rephrase what I meant, there's no doubt they will dominate in general, I just feel that the Biathlon results might be weaker this time around.
    • even lost to but nobody expected miracles. TVP Sport crew said their view at the range was obscured by a giant flag
    • Zero golds at all in biathlon, Nordic combined and alpine skiing? I mean, it is of course possible, but the chance is under 1% I'd say
