Yes, I would prefer to watch la Liga or PL this week. But it is slightly less annoying if I can see Spain England and Spain Croatia instead of friendlies. | ||

Yeah, first half was a disaster but they didn't have that many clear chances, so defensively it was quite alright, until that blunder by Promes :| Second half was a lot better, only watched until the 1-1 though. Frenkie de Jong was magical considering it was his debut as a starter, future of the Dutch national team looks bright when we have talents like his emerging. | ||

- discussing holding the CL final in New York - adding a 3rd tier of european club competitions for 32 teams from 2021/22 on, while reducing the number of teams in the EL from 48 to 32. This decision will be finalized until end of the year. | ||

On top of that, the competition is skewed after the groups when 'bad' CL teams get to destroy 'good' EL teams. Is it just so that smaller teams get to play other European teams? Why not make some kind of longer qualifier with more teams before the CL, and have the top teams join later (kinda like national cups)? This way it's just one competition, more teams get to play but we're not fed 2 useless competitions that big teams don't even care about. At least when the CL was only the 1st of each league, and they had the Cups Winner Cup it made some kind of sense. When you won, you really were a champion of something. | ||

To me, the alternative would be having some type of policies to break down the powerhouse teams so teams from Norway could hope to qualify for the CL again, or to have teams like Ajax be able to win the CL, but I don't think that's gonna happen. The EL gives the best teams from smaller leagues something legit to compete for, and that's important. | ||

It means you're worse than 16 other European teams at least (the CL ro16 ones). To me, the Champions League past the quarter finals feels like FIFA demo mode.... eight playable teams which bore you to death after a couple of days. I'd much rather watch a Braga vs Dynamo Kyiv than another Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich. I think it's great for fans of the smaller teams, it's great for the general geographical knowledge of Europeans, and it's refreshing for casual fans. The concentration of wealth in football increased quality at the top tier but has killed much of the fun around continental football. The idea of matches like Belenenses vs Hibernian in the 3rd UEFA tier sounds pretty awesome to me. | ||
