Messi and Hazard voted for Mane as the best player and yet they're both in the best XI and Mane isn't. Van Dijk however apparently doesn't pay attention to the matches he plays in and voted Messi first, Salah second, and Mane third.

Gigi Galli posted:https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/uefa-europa-conference-league-third-competition-europa-champions-explained I liked the idea of smaller teams who don't get into europe getting a go at playing other smaller teams and it was vaguely exciting to read the names of teams I'd never heard of. The logistics of trying to organise something like that across multiple countries now probably makes it a no go but a european tourny with teams that aren't the normal lot would be good for me.

I agree that it’s good for smaller teams to play in Europe, I just hope that it doesn’t bankrupt them. UEFA better be putting up a lot of the travel and logistical costs.

A question: And this is relevant to these athletic championships, and the World Cup, and also the WWE events in Saudi Arabia and a bunch of poo poo like this. Do the people in charge care that much about how well they are attended, perceived or received internationally? Coz to my thinking, the main point of them is a bullshit dickwaving exercise saying "look how big, rich and important I am. This event is the biggest, most expensive, so therefore the best in the world. Look at the shiny gold plated things. Pay no attention to the nuts and bolts, or practicalities of of it. Such things are for poor people." So the Qataris don't actually give a gently caress that nobody is in the stadiums, or indeed will be in their magic airconditioned ones for the WC. The important thing is they get to say they held the world cup, and that the toilet taps in the presidential suite are appropriately shined and gold plated.

BrigadierSensible posted:A question: The sponsors care because the whole point for them is to get people to see their brand and therefore fifa itself cares because it can’t sell advertisements and commercial sponsorships for gently caress you money unless there are eyes on it. E: for a practical example, look at Serie A where some of the stadiums are half empty. The commercial and ad revenue for the league is terrible compared to many of the other big leagues.

The modern obsession the gulf states have with hosting these events is dick-waving prestige contests among each other. They could care less how the rest of the world views it, and in fact, the west protesting them usually plays into their hands at home.

It isn't just the Gulf States either. Every middling-tier kleptocracy and dictatorship is aiming for stuff like the World Cup and Olympics. Look at me, I'm an important world power! I have fond memories of the Russia Olympics thread. Stray dogs and illogical shoddy construction
