I know less than zero about football but I appreciate that man's accent

How is Paris St. Germain not in that league? Lol

they weren't asked? but the fucking Spurs were?

Florentino Perez to El Chiringuito: "We have not invited PSG yet, we're gonna talk with many clubs and explicate them about the #SuperLeague project. If Bayern refuses to join it won't cancel, don't worry. We also will hire some of the best referees in the world". 🚨

OMG, this is killing me. You created your own superleague that's gonna be the BESTEST AND RICHES LEAGUE EVER. And you put this fucker in charge? They put Florentino in charge?! LMAO.

HUH? LOL

I just read these quotes and quite impossibly I’m raging more now than I was this morning. Poor fucking Real Madrid, spent more than they could afford and now it’s everybody else’s responsibility to make sure they don’t go bust. Fuck. Off. The entitlement of the elite. Fuck me. https://t.co/Yl74z8B7CR

Idk anything about European soccer, but I follow Matthew Lewis on Twitter and saw him going off about this earlier. Seems shitty! :/

[ohmylol]

Louis tomlinson also tweeted about that , anyone who likes football is against this

[zxora]

Neville going IN.

[whereisglory]

Fuck these fuckers for making me side with the FIFA and UEFAlona.

Also, lol @ "for the fans"

Nah, FIFA and UEFA are greedy af and it's all for the money. It's just that they're facing an organization even greedier and more corrupt than them.

[fantastiche]

Never thought I'd see the day FIFA and UEFA were the lesser of two corrupt and greedy evils.

So pissed about this. I mostly think it’s a fuck you to UEFA and have doubts that it’ll actually go forward, but it still goes against all the reasons why I became a soccer fan in the first place. I’ve been a Chelsea supporter since the mid 90s - almost a decade before Roman bought the club and my fandom survived the transition of the club from a scrappy mid-table team to an oligarch-owned “global brand”. But if this shit goes forward, I’m seriously thinking of jumping ship. Enough is enough. I have a great small local team in a non-MLS league and can put my energy into supporting them or watch more of the Bundesliga or Liga MX. Fuck this shit.

[champagnexdream]

My husband will jump ship from Tottenham to Bundesliga too if this goes forward

[carminaburana]

Literally nobody asked for this, but corporate greed wins I guess... would be interesting to see if the fans of these eight clubs could band together in a collective boycott. If nobody watches these games or buys merch, it’s over.

[howlin_wolf_66]

Nice idea, but I think you'll always get enough people from abroad to watch it (China, for example?) ... That's who they're selling to; International fans who aren't invested in the historical structure of football.
