    Then why do Arsenal and spurs suck so hard and why are Madrid and Barca months away from being insolvent

    Bunch of Americans get overly sensitive about their opinions on inconsequential shit. Good times, make me think like you, I want to think just like you because your avatar is cool.

    At the same time I think it's funny that german clubs are complaining about eliminating a merit based tournament when they're the first ones in line to sell their best players to Bayern in the January window while still competing for first

    definitely not marseille. Not a chance in hell the American owners orchestrating this would bring Frank McCourt into the group. I could see Lyon and that would be the only one who makes sense other than PSG but I haven’t heard anything of them being invited.

    I wouldn’t be shocked if they ended up starting with 12 or taking a team from a bigger city in a smaller league like an ajax.

    Bet those clubs will just file a lawsuit and have any ban enjoined and UEFA will be faced with not having the tournament finish and all of the lost revenue or just letting them finish. I imagine they will choose the latter.
