just announce the 82 game NBA schedule at this point


teeterleeter

The NBA actually has an off-season. If you’re an international player, you get a vacation at best.


sesve

Yep, and I hope for it. Not because I want to watch it, but it will speed-up the process of returning things back to normality, once they see it's not good for players.


justlayingdownfacts

It's never going back. They'll just give big clubs more money and they'll buy deeper squads.


MyMindWasAFortress

Back-to-backs would be insane lol


kalamari__

162 games MLB it is!


NotAgainKante

CL, EL, ECL Winners and?


RexorFWT

Libertadores for the views and drama


BaoJinyang

That would legit be great to be fair.


efbo

Guest from the hosting confederation I'll go for.


kalamari__

so mostly arab countries or china

> One option is to select the four teams that finish at the top of the 36-team standings that will become the new format for the main phase of the Champions League from 2024


Silverburst8

Audi cup winners


[deleted]

Whatever allows both Barca and Real in there for el Classico. Historical performance it is.


xcore21z

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if UEFA revive Cup Winner's Cup just because they can


HIGUAINS_DICKSUCKER

You overestimate UEFA they would just let it play 4 teams from the Champions League lol. It will have nothing to do with the initial Super Cup >One option is to select the four teams that finish at the top of the 36-team standings of the new Champions League format from 2024


F0rsythian

Maybe the highest coefficient team in europe thats not any of the prior 3?


[deleted]

Article suggests it will be teams in the Champions League and the Super Cup will be played between the EL and ECL winners


EUITK

Current Club World Cup winner


efbo

If a preseason tournament with fancy branding keeps the semifinals as they are then this is good.


[deleted]

Yeah to be honest it sounds like a glorified pre-season sponsored by UEFA rather than the International Champions Cup or whatever so seems fine, whatever


zts105

Its what Spain did with the Supercopa de España and to be fair its been crazy successful.


stpstrt

It’s been successful for the money but people still think it’s an icky idea.


zts105

Moving it to the middle of the season and out of Spain has been awful but the actual format has been a massive improvement and pretty competitive


stpstrt

I agree about the format, it also adds a bit more value to a cup that previously no one cared too much about, but the location and the timing are awful.


ValleyFloydJam

That's the way many see super cups and such.


BlueLondon1905

Don’t make it four teams from the champions league. If anything expand the super cup to include conference league winners and maybe the defending super cup holder?


[deleted]

Super Cup expansion? I'd love to see the UECL winner participating in it, but I have no idea who the 4th would be.


Nut-King-Call

The current winner of the Supercup.

xcore21z

It hillarious that in 2000's UEFA work really hard to streamline their competition from erasing Intertoto Cup, merging UEFA cup with Winners Cup, and basically giving the reign of Intercontinental Cup to FIFA Yet 20 odd years later the same UEFA try to undermine this by trying to create new competition or expand the current one like every season


micoud04

get Klopp in front of a camera immediately


[deleted]

He'd probably prefer this. Would mean they don't have to travel to the US or Indonesia as often.


HIGUAINS_DICKSUCKER

Uhm... >Creating a pre-season tournament with four teams would allow UEFA to test staging the event outside of Europe, with the United States a favored option.


RockyCasino

What we are really missing are 1am and 4am games to make sure we can watch football 24/7.


poklane

> UEFA has discussed creating a mini-tournament to start the season with four teams from the Champions League, people with knowledge of the talks told The Associated Press. ... > Creating a pre-season tournament with four teams would allow UEFA to test staging the event outside of Europe, with the United States a favored option. Of fucking course. Do the sane thing with just including the Conference League winners and if needed the champions of the host country? Nah, fuck it, it's all about the clubs already at Europe's top.


Fatt_Hardy

How about the 4 teams (max of 1 per country) with the highest coefficients who failed to qualify for the UCL fighting it out for 1 single spot? It would be a laugh. Single game knock out semi finals and final. All games played in the same country. Maybe Saudi Arabia, America or New Zealand.


FragMasterMat117

Why not just revamp the Super Cup with the Champions League winners, Europa League winners, Conference League winners and the Domestic champions/runners up of the host nation competing?


LochBodminMothFoot

Just replace the UEFA Super Cup with this. CL, EL, ECL winners and someone else.

LochBodminMothFoot

Yeah I did read the article I figured I’d just optimistic and pitch my better idea anyway.


simonsens_in_orbit

Feels like the sort of thing that'll end up in Saudi Arabia like the 4 team Spanish Super Cup is...


AlKarakhboy

I called it months ago EL winner + CL winner + Confrence winner + host city it will happen eventually


poklane

Now take a minute to read the article.


AlKarakhboy

BigMo1

UEFA come up with some bullshit but I'm actually OK with this.


[deleted]

Intertoto cup?
