It's completely crazy that league matches on the regular schedule - not some kind of show match - are held on different continents. Imagine if they tried that in Germany. Fans would be throwing more than tennis balls and likely at a different target than last time.

Tebas is a shameless capitalist. Even by capitalist standards.

Wait till this becomes regular. We have to do something or later, because they will totally destroy football.

Everyone in sport is money hungry. There is no chance in hell of stopping this without external regulators.

If government regulators tell these clubs they can't do it, only then will it stop. Bc uefa and Fifa can't be controlled by anyone. No government can hold them accountable. Maybe the EU can stop UCL matches from going to the us.

Similarly the leagues from the nations where they take the game, the mls in the us for example, need to fight against it.

I totally agree, what you are saying, and I want to add that players and the fans can stop this too, if not EU. We have to do what we did with Super League, get out there and protest.

MLS would ask for a joined league or something like this, they love money too over there.

The players union has had no substantial impact on the game since the 90s when they threatened to protest.

Personally I wasnt really strongly against the ESL.

It depends on what you view football as. I get more pleasure watching my local club play in the local second division. Yes the standard isn't the CL but it has passion and community which to me is more important.

Pretty funny as well when you can hear everything.

I just approved you! It's been weeks since I last played, but I will do picks today.
I don't know why people don't join.

Cool! Let's have fun

Not many people are into betting style games I presume. Although this community is pretty small anyways. Not many football fans on Lemmy.

I still assumed there's be about 10 or so people

Last World Cup we where quite the team, with lots of people. Anyways.

Oh that's cool. I didn't join back then. Dont like international tournaments.
