Seems like the globalisation of European Football is going to explode. I'm totally against this, and any European teams playing competitive games outside of their country.
La Liga is part of Spain's culture, the Premier League is part of England's culture, and the Champions League is a European Football competition. When these games start being played all over the world, that identity isn't as strong and you lose what's special about it.
Unfortunately this doesn't matter for senior figures in Football, all about the money. I dread to think where we'll be in ten years.
Thoughts?

Some of that Belgian stuff is too strong for me.
Give me some bitburger from Germany any day.
Also like red stripe when I’m over there in the Caribbean.

Much as I hate to do this...but LQ is actually spo on for once.
Love Bitburger. Just tough to find it fresh over here. We only just got their Word Cup branded 4pks this last week.

Hate for me put aside haha the magnet in Stockport has amazing bitburger on draugh.
When you are sat down in a round and don’t have to get up for a while you forget how potent it is because it goes down so well.
Good stuff.

By German beer I mean traditional Pils not those other concoctions.
Must admit I got very fond of Kölsch and Alt when I was in the Rhineland

Not sure if anyone knows this but the magnet in Stockport on the a6 is one of the best pubs for beer anywhere in this country, it’s got more quality beers than you can shake a stick at.

Pilsners are from Pilsen in the Czech Republic though

I know that, I’ve been there but when Pilsner beer was invented, the Czech Republic or Czechoslovakia didn’t exist and Pilzen was part of Greater Germany

What do UEFA expect to gain from holding it in America?
They will never take it as their number one sport.
