John Henry apologizes to Liverpool fans and employees for involvement in failed Super League - The Boston Globe

Watching John Henry's hubris getting shattered into a million little pieces is absolutely delicious.

Man City wants out, too.

Interesting use of the word "scheme".

I wonder if the connotation in England is the same as here?

 

[N o o d l e s]

Yup just read that teams are dropping out left and right. Guess I’ll go back to not caring about soccer.

You could also just watch the Champions league knockout rounds

Always thought the away goals rule was too gimmicky.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez:



If only there were some way for Real Madrid to cut their financial losses.

I don’t care what anyone says, I love this Super League. Imagine one week Man U plays Madrid. Then the following week Barcelona and then Milan after that. I only watch a handful of matches a year, but you can bet your ass I’m going to watch as much of the Super League as possible. Sounds a hell of a lot more entertaining than Man U vs Blackpool, Queens Park, or other basement dwellers.

I’m a casual soccer fan and this is a great way to attract more casuals and potentially turn them into hardcore fans. Can’t wait for this thing to get going.

Booooo!

Thousands of Arsenal fans gather outside the Emirates Stadium in London to protest American owner Stan Kroenke, and his involvement in the Super League.

The bad feelings towards the people who put the Super League together are not going to go away quickly.

 

[McGarnagle]

So I totally get why most fans of the other 14 EPL teams or fans of lower division teams hated the Super League idea, as it would kill English football. But I don't get why the fans of the big six are so furious, if the league was successfully pulled off, it would be great for those franchises.

I'm glad the Super League went nowhere. The Champions League suffices for me, and at least you have to earn your way in, a tough task for Liverpool at the moment.

 

[EvilDead]

Delicious. Absolutely delicious.

Because they see it as against tradition. The sport over there is a very working-class game and they see it as more important to learn it rather than just have it handed to you.

Revs win; are now 1-1 IN Season 26;

1-0 over DC United

 

[Gator Mike]

Gee, I wonder why some of the richest teams in Europe suddenly decided that they didn't have a big enough piece of the pie?

 

[Gator Mike]

So, uh... kind of a monumental moment in the history of American soccer just happened...

Round 3 of Season 26;

Atlanta United FC vs your NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION

Saturday 5/1

No sympathy. Clubs not in the top tier in their respective countries are barely scraping by, usually without a big fat TV contract. When many of these clubs have had financial trouble in the past, the big clubs said they need to be smarter with their money.\

Now the shoe's on the other foot.

 

[Gator Mike]

Excellent performance by the Revs tonight as they dominated a pretty good Atlanta team in a 2-1 win that probably should have been 3 or 4-1.

It's still early, but the Revs are now in sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference.

 

[Terrier]

Yikes, fans have invaded the pitch at Old Trafford in protest of the Glazers.
