Yeah me neither. Says he's tired of the same teams in the CL each time but then also says he's still watching it. But knows "tons of people" who don't anymore.
I always said this sport might be better off if Americans could not watch European leagues anymore."Niche european fans".
Is that what you call the millions of fans who are NOT fans of a big club?
Arrogance of those fans is astounding.
Just like the other day when another poster said Aberdeen is not playing the same sport as Chelsea.
Indeed, so many cinderlla runs.
Yes I'd rather watch teams from other countries because if they qualified they'd also get the money to be competitive. It's not that hard.11 different teams in 12 years... and there have been a fair share of surprise semi finalist like Monaco, Roma and Ajax just the past 4 years. And this year I could see a Lyon, Atalanta or Leipzig potentially creating an upset.
About the niche fans. Yes teams from Greece, Turkey, Russia, Romania are amazing and probably more hardcore than any fans of the big clubs but even these fans would not careless about other teams than their own.
Honestly... would you rather watch Steaua Bucarest vs Partizan Belgrade? Or Atletico vs Juventus? Any random football fans from france to portugal would rather see the later.
And if you prefer the steaua vs partizan than the Europa league is a match made in heaven for you!
I do not get your point
So your problem is with money distribution?Yes I'd rather watch teams from other countries because if they qualified they'd also get the money to be competitive. It's not that hard.
So your problem is with money distribution?
Well he started saying that CL is boring because it is always the same team.Evilo's problem is almost always with money distribution.
It is funny that you mention that because in America people look at you weird when you talk about european football. Like maybe 10% of sports fan have some knowledge outside the typical I know Messi or I know Ronaldo. So, european don't like us and american neither... great. I guess that's similar to how NHL fans from Europe feel about.I always said this sport might be better off if Americans could not watch European leagues anymore.

So his problem is not the teams but how the cash is distributed within the top clubs which is a complete different story.
Yea I suppose.It is funny that you mention that because in America people look at you weird when you talk about european football. Like maybe 10% of sports fan have some knowledge outside the typical I know Messi or I know Ronaldo. So, european don't like us and american neither... great. I guess that's similar to how NHL fans from Europe feel about.
Honestly though I am huge football fan and I love watching south american football, it is so intense and competitive and I would not mind switching from Europe to South America but it is almost impossible to get all the south americans league though.. actually I cannot get any league... so I am stuck with European football, sorry
If Lyon dont win CL, Ajax will get a spot in this years group stage?
Celtic advance and Linfield get knocked out, what a lovely day!Astana already down 3:0 to Dynamo Brest and its not even 30 minutes into the game. Dynamo do have some notable players like Milevskiy and Khacheridi (CL experience, both former Ukrainian internationals who played at major tournaments). This is also the same club which Maradona was the 'chairman' of for like 2 months
Legia having a hard time breaking down Linfield, but Linfield down to 10 men now
Interesting situation in round between Slovan Bratislava and KÍ Klaksvík (Island).
Someone from Slovan team was diagnosed with COVID 19. And thats already, when they arrived to Island. First news was, that this match will never be played and Slovan will lost it and actually they will be kicked out of this competition.
UEFA was for option B. Lets see, ho it will go. Today is the game.
So we could see LFC,barca, RB and Atalanta lool
Or Zenith, Barca, Olympiakos and Brugge.
Wonder which is more likely?
