Now that you lot are awake it's now time for me to hit the hay, but I continue to be surprised by the "it's not that bad" posters who haven't yet seemed to grasp that this is a precursor to a 20-team, 38-match, all-closed (no open spots), weekend-playing, no-relegation, pan-European breakaway league which will inevitably take its act on the road regularly, not some fucking substitute for the CL.
It's meant to -- and eventually will -- mirror the big four sports leagues in US/Canada precisely. Maybe there will be "expansion" over time and more teams will be added, and an unbalanced schedule introduced, and coaches' challenges (which would improve VAR at least IMO) and cheerleaders and TV timeouts and all the other wonderful accoutrements that make US sport(s) so popular globally.
