Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Buzzing with that group for England. As it’s not a major tournament all the Jim Broadbent's will be anti-England, so I will try and go to the Germany and Italy games. Fuck Hungary, though, the racist shit stains.

Guest Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Sky news are reporting there are talks of the south American teams being invited to play in the nations league. I like the idea. I think it will be controversial. But this is a new competion that doesnt have history so it wont upset traditionalists to much. Not sure how the travel would work as those countries are far away but I do like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding South American teams to this waste of time only tightens the considerable time pressure domestic leagues are already under, because of this and the inflated European and International football calendar.

Well like I said not everyone will like it. For me its not all about club football, international football is important as well. I'm not sure if there would need to be any extra fixtures they might be able to still do it in a maximum of 8 games. And when they bought it in the games were in place of friendlies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, competitive games against Argentina and Brazil at Wembley that would be pretty easy for me to get tickets for is a nice thought. That said, it’s the metaphorical Trojan Horse story, here. The idea for a World Cup was mooted, it was met with disapproval by pretty much everyone and then, through the back door, they get the ball rolling for this and then once this is accepted, providing it is, where do you stop? Another couple of years and we can then invite some African/Asian nations either through an invitation like the Copa America or have some qualification process, like the current World Cup and then it’s basically what they wanted anyway. It’s reminiscent of the European Super League farce. That took all the news and got people’s attention, rightly, however through the back door on the quiet a load of changes have happened starting during the 2024/25 Champions League, which seem to have got little coverage. The whole anti-ESL and anti-club owners crowd have pretty much gone away yet are, largely, blind to these changes that have occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
