Aww mate, you think UEFA care about anything other than money and that supporters are treated as anything other than customers

There there, there there. Just enjoy the hug and let the pain wash away

Think its inevitable.

Need to stop calling it European. Might as well start inviting Brazilian and MLS teams in as well. I wonder how many fans would travel on a Wednesday night game.

FFS how can a country that calls football soccer be allowed to do such thing

European games should probably play in Europe.

Shiite if it’s true. It should stay in Europe on the basis of the two teams in the final are from there, along with the fans. Saying that if you look at fan allocations for the finals it’s no surprise.

They should just play the final in Spain, Germany or Italy then. Just loop it round those three countries.

No. It should stay in Europe, not anywhere else.

Let’s pretend it happens...what time will the match be played? If it’s 7:00 pm New York time, that means that it would air at midnight U.K. time. If an English club was in the final, and I was a fan of that club, I would be livid.

Bad idea.

Obviously need to try to schedule the game for the lucrative south-east Asian market

Instead of the CL music before the game they could play this......https://youtu.be/c5BL4RNFr58

No surprise but if that game takes place on the West Coast then the kick off will be at a ridiculous time. Anything later than about 1pm local time and most of the world would struggle to watch it.

Better than playing this at Kiev? At least the supporters unless they are Muslim can get there?

Na it should be played in the European countries that compete in the tournament.

Why should it be played in the US?

You'd have to think they'd do it for European time zone as surely the European TV money would be more than the American TV money?

Can't imagine sky or BT would pay as much as they are for a 1pm kick off

Moving the CL final to 7 45 Saturday was a step towards this.

Playing it on a weekend means it can be played early afternoon in NYC and broadcasted at normal time in the UK.

It's actually not that much further away than Istanbul or Kiev and way easier to get to than Kiev.

Not actually that against it.

I'm all for it. It's a global game and it doesn't impact me whatsoever.

Football has sold its soul at the highest level so we might as well just embrace it.

IF, and a big IF, chelsea get to the Europa final, I will be going to Azerbaijan, I know where I'd rather go.
