Ikarus360 Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 And of course, the King and Rajoy there. But when FC Barcelona was playing last year, none of them was in Berlin. They don't even care for making their hatred against Catalonia less obvious anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoshi Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Should be banned for a LONG time. Rivaldo-like, took the shine off it. Sad for Atleti - they must be Europe's unluckiest club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 I'm mostly mad at the fact that the overrated football "star" that is CR7 did literally nothing on this match and scores the last penalty shot once again, stealing all the spotlight again. Also no one mentioned how horrible the opening ceremony was. I thought this was the Champions League, not the Superbowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reindeer Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Such a sad moment for Atlético Madrid. I fear they won't have another chance soon. Then again, I thought the same two years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be held on 26 May 2018, the final will be the first such decider played at the Olympic National Sports Complex in the Ukrainian capital. However, the stadium is no stranger to big occasions: Dynamo Kyiv took on Bayern München there in the 1975 UEFA Super Cup second leg, while it was also a venue in the 1980 Olympics and UEFA EURO 2012, staging five games including the final. The decision was taken at Thursday's UEFA Executive Committee meeting in Athens. ... http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=2397994.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 I and 85k other Spurs fans filled Wembley last night, a new record for a 'home' fixture in English football beating the record Man City had held since 1934. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_record_home_attendances_of_English_football_clubs A shame about the result.

gotosy Posted October 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Champions League: Uefa president says final could move outside of Europe The Champions League final could be played outside of Europe, says new Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin. The Slovenian will revive an open bidding process to host the final, and is open to it being staged in New York. "It might be an idea but we have to speak about it," said Ceferin, who was named head of European football's governing body last month. The 61 finals have all been held in Europe but Ceferin said travel to the US would be "no problem" for fans. He added: "To go from Portugal to Azerbaijan for example is almost the same or the same as if you go to New York. "It's a European competition so let's think about it.'' As it stands, Uefa awards the finals without any tendering process, with stadium hosts decided in secret by the leadership. "The bidding process should be very clear because if you get the Champions League finals or Europa League finals as a political favour then it's not OK," Ceferin said. The former Slovenian Football Association chief said he would not sacrifice the competition's success by changing kick-off times, usually 19:45 BST, to suit worldwide markets. "From a financial point of view it's not ideal," Ceferin said. "We should think also about other markets, but how to do it exactly I'm not sure yet. "China is financially interesting and the US is not just financially interesting, but football is growing there." The Champions League final has been played on a Saturday since 2010 and is the competition's only game not played in midweek. Ceferin said one idea to increase viewers would be to also move the semi-finals to a weekend. "There are some ideas about that - China is not asleep because it's Saturday and they can watch," he said. "But there are many problems concerning that with the calendar of the leagues. "National leagues are too important. You have the Premier League which is very strong." ...

Nacre Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) This is just as insulting to fans as the idea to put the NFL's Super Bowl in Europe. Apart from the expense of intercontinental travel, there is the visa issue to consider. These sporting executives only care about their own bank accounts. There is a part of me that thinks that perhaps Avery Brundage was right all along. EDIT: Just to be clear, I am referring to amateurism in sport. I am not implying that I approve of his views on other matters. Edited October 20, 2016 by Nacre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyscrapercity has posts saying it's in Baku, then Madrid, then Baku again Whilst he seems to have mellowed, I'm fairly sure Ioannes_ is an alt account of another Spaniard who never got over Madrid 2012's loss and sees everything as a slight against Spain. Even a hint Baku might beat Madrid (there seem to have been rumours in Spanish media to that effect) got him going. Anyway, Madrid has it. It is a lovely looking stadium, and doesn't have a track like Baku's so happy with that. What's your account name on SSC btw yoshi? Edited September 21, 2017 by Rob.
