Why oh why oh why?
I think of American Football as being like a game of "soccer" entirely made up of free kicks.

[Football] FC Barcelona statement on the Super League
- Thread starter Change at Barnham
- Start date
probably part way through a 83 page Q&A that he wants RDZ to memorize before any questions arise on the subject pre and post match from Sky and reporters for post match match press conference.

I'm hoping that City and Chelsea get their utterly humiliating FFP battering before they go and join the Super League so it just looks like an epic flounce that emphasises the total embarrassment both clubs should feel anyway

The European Court of Justice has decided that FIFA and UEFA’s decision to block the European Super League is against EU competition law and - wait for it - ‘freedom to provide services’.
The ECJ has just ruled that capitalism has the ‘freedom’ to destroy the hopes and dreams of the fans who make football what it is. They have handed it over piecemeal as a meaningless plaything in the hands of the oligarchs, slave states and hedge funds who run most of our top clubs.
We, the fans, must rise up across Europe if this scheme is resurrected and make it clear, by words and actions, that it will not be implemented and not destroy our game.
As we did at Brighton.
Direct action works.

PSG have now told them to **** off (again).
And men in stupid black and white clothing throwing rags on the ground after the bundle.
Qatari owners miffed at the Saudis muscling in?
If big clubs keep pulling out it could collapse faster than the last one did.

Okay. That's NOT football/soccer though. You do realize that? You are talking about a completely different sport with it's own rhythms.

We were talking about commercialisation of live sport in international markets.
Didn't think they were invited last time?
I'm not sure I'll pay much attention to the clubs declining.

I've been waiting for this - the opinion of the Albion fan who nobody agrees with about anything.
Because he's never posted anything that isn't shit.
We wouldn't be invited to join it.
But I admire the low bar you appear to apply to changing your stance and accepting venality and corruption.
That said, it is hard to take seriously the opinion of someone who can't punctuate.
Yes indeed. My thoughts too, albeit your assessment is more succinct than mine.
Details?
I am impressed by the speed the new super league has been set up and populated, give that it didn't have the approval to exist yesterday.
Is there some sort of off-the-shelf superleague that can be popped into existence whenever the opportunity arises, rather like a jelly mold?
