This. I will never give a eff about a team that I can't see play on a regular basis. I don't have golTV or beIN Sport and crap, so I don't care at all about Bundesliga, La Liga, or Serie A teams unless they're playing in the UCL.

SEC has more than 3 good teams.

Bunde moving to fox next season iirc, and I think I read somewhere ESPN will make a run at La Liga when their English broadcast rights come up in America in the next couple years.

Has Athletico been worth a crap lately before this season?

They won the Europa League in 2010 and 2012 which is not easy to do, so yeah. This is definitely their best team in awhile by far though.

Suarez, what a bitch. I want Liverpool to win it, but I hate him so much. As a matter of fact I think all of my posts in this thread are about how much I hate him.

Batt BcKee is the only poster here that doesn't hate him which makes sense because his name is rough ridin' Batt BcKee.

FTR, I'm pretty sure Suarez is a shitty human being. But he is amazing on the pitch.

Yeah I think so. UEFA runs champions league so the the roster and fine will stick. Now the transfer cap may be a little more tough but who knows.

Didn't get out of it, just fighting it. Also I believe that was FIFA not UEFA and it wasn't agreed upon.

I'm not a lawyer but I can understand the common argument that it runs afoul of EU salary cap regulations

Doesn't City have to "agree" to their punishment thingy by Friday? What happens if they don't?

no clue what happens then.

Institutional Control · « **Reply #8999 on:** May 06, 2014, 12:53:03 PM »

If they can't agree on the punishment by Friday it goes to a panel to decide punishment and whatever is handed down from the panel will be non-negotiable.
