Spanish Super Cup semi-final held in Saudi Arabia. More money madness - total disrespect for the Madrileños.
Had no idea this was even happening. Imagine the FA Cup being played there!
It would kill the game
Outrageous! If I was a Spanish fan, I would boycot this.
They could take every round of it abroad. Imagine the excitement in Dubai when they realise the hotly awaited Sutton Utd vs Leeds U21's game is coming to town!Maybe they could play the JPT Papa Johns Car Cup Final in Saudi too?
To be fair, they would struggle to have worse attendances than there currently are.They could take every round of it abroad. Imagine the excitement in Dubai when they realise the hotly awaited Sutton Utd vs Leeds U21's game is coming to town!
Just my opinion, but I think the games already dead at that level. VAR, kick off times, sanitised, modern footballers.Had no idea this was even happening. Imagine the FA Cup being played there!

League one football is genuinely more exciting. Relegation candidates last season to promotion hopefuls this seasonJust my opinion, but I think the games already dead at that level. VAR, kick off times, sanitised, modern footballers.
Feels about as exciting and real as the WWE. I respect that some people still get something out of it/care but it's dead to me.
I agree totally.League one football is genuinely more exciting. Relegation candidates last season to promotion hopefuls this season
Hard agreeI agree totally.
Football being a tourist soulless crapfest in the top level filters down though. I am supposed to want Oxford United to play in the Premier League. It would be a fun novelty for a season before you realise:
You barely ever get to play at 3pm on a Saturday
Every goal is phorensically looked at by VAR so you can't enjoy goals (best part of football)
Ticket prices go through the roof
Players like Cam leave and are replaced by some journeymen from the French League
New 'fans' suddenly pop up everywhere claiming they were their at Droylsden away
Even if you survive there's a glass ceiling because unless you're owned by a psychopathic billionaire or a state you don't have the money to compete
Fans are even more restricted, atmospheres even more w@nk
Even more politics in the sport, every decision hyper-analysed, fans more detached from the players than ever
Happy new year!
