Could have been if deserved. River lost deserved to Barcelona in that CWC final. And they reached the final now thanks to referees. The same referees that tried to steal the trophy last year from Gremio not giving a clear penalty in last minutes in Brazil, could've even used the var that's only used against Gremio. As a result Gremio only got a 1-0 in 1st game and ended up losing Arthur to injury during the 2nd game (and then for the entire cwc) that could've been easier if the advantage was 2-0 from the start. + Show Spoiler + and then Gremio went on to lose to the mexican referee in the cwc final, not giving a clear penalty on Ramiro yet giving another cheap FK for penaldo in the counter-attack of that same play Boca isn't the cleanest but I'm still cheering for them, cos Real Madrid is way worse. I wonder if in the far future football will get closer to volleyball in the application of rules (unlike now that even VAR is only released when the cheaters figure a way to manipulate/fix even more with it), and then those empires built on cheat will pretend they and their history were always clean and deserved. Oh yes, that will happen. Either way if you need to be rich and powerful in football in order to control the referees, instead of just having a good team and playing well or even getting lucky, then this is a game not worth respecting. It survives because the game is still good, but they aren't any different than vagabonds in the streets stealing people. They both deceive and cheat for their own self-affirmation. | ||

Documents Show Secret Plans for Elite League of Top Clubs This is probably going to be profitable for the big dogs, but I don't see how it will not hurt the sport in the long run, with the gap between top clubs and the rest widening up (which has already been happening in the last few years, Juve,Bayern,Man City,PSG, Real/Barcelona are big favorites for league winners and quarterfinals in Ch.L. every year) Worst is that there's no way to get into the new League. There's no promotion/relegation so any team which doesn't get in will be shafted. It's a fine idea in principle but in practise the clubs are just using it to cement their dominance untill the end of time. | ||

Then rebuild. https://twitter.com/SoccerInsider/status/1059841698627571712 They're fighting at the birth of an in market rival, I got to think Ibrahimovic is better long term and short term then anyone else they could put at the head of the line. Especially if they want to cultivate that Real madrid galacticos image in MLS. | ||
