No Way never. Pathetic. It's not pay to play. Super League 2.0. It's European qualification.
So why to Israeli teams play in European football competitions?
It's even worse than super league if can buy way in.
What's next then…
A team from North Korea in 2027?
Iran in 2030?
What about a club from Mordor? Are they playing football?
Follow the money
Spot on
Saudi Arabia is not in Europe.
It is sad to see Saudi Arabia nestling into the world of football. Saudi Arabia is a dictatorship that engages in, among other things, public executions, imprisoning journalists and discrimination against women. The board is known for the murder and dismemberment of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. It's the money that makes people blind, sadly.
I would stop watching if it happens
This show keeps saying playing in the desert, playing in the desert. From now now, I would say Europeanโs play in a pig farms, letโs see how would that sound.๐
I'd never watch it again lol
Don't they have the right ? We really got to get off our high horses !
Assuming they would swap AFC Champions league for UEFA Champions League
If Saudi League joins UEFA then what about Leagues ranked above them which are not participating? Once this hsppens then I'm done with football
Great,I hope it happens soon
Saudi wants to be rejected and start their own tournamemt
I don't think it's make sense the should play they're Asia cup n Europe to should play CL it seams they realize not getting vibrant young players from the world to come n play in Saudi unless they're getting to end of they're carea so they decide to come n join CL so can get access for the young ones coming up in they're league if allow Europe football is finished they will use money to bring everyone one they like in Saudi league
In order to get a piece of the pie they bring it all crashing down
Got teams from the middle east already in uefa competitions
I hope they develop the super league they tried to set up a couple of years ago and let the rest of football continue.
Oh so we can comment on this video but not mason greenwood
"These Saudis" – been watching them closely and they definitely have an anti Saudi agenda.
Managers will love this they moan about travelling and time between games now imagine having to fly to Saudi play a game then fly back and play in the premier league ๐๐๐๐๐
So can English/European clubs join the AFC Champions Leage if they want? Arab Champions league must be easier to win than the real one. Would be nice to see a European team lift that Arab cup every season……
As it has already been stated, this is the โUnited European Football Associationโ. Unfortunately, as much as I am against โANYโ non European team playing in this league, I can see the money grabbing twisted cheating lying scumbags that run UEFA allowing this to happen. IF and when it does happen, then I am afraid my football friends that the only way to stop it is by voting with our feet, and by that I mean not going to or watching any of it, because to do that would be to let them win, and that would make us just as bad as them. The ball, is in your courtโฆ
Donโt want them in the champions league I wouldnโt dare go over there if united ever played a team from there last place Iโd want to visit
Oh so i guess we can have some south American teams too then like boca or river plate , how about a few Brazilian ones too ๐๐ผ
Itโs moments like this where Chelsea need to step in and bring in some sense to save this from happening. Similar to what Chelsea did to stop the โsuper leagueโ
Money talks eh? Bent as football
Europe for the Europeans
Champions league for the European clubs
No Israel, no Saudi
that's ridiculous. by tradition, the champions leagues should only be teams in europe.
Kicking a ball around in desert . now that show how Simon jordan is frustrating about the Saudi League project . English clubs can spend what they want and they are allow , rest of the world no they are not . disgusting
if they want champions league participation then they need 10-15 years of complying with the financial fair play
Everyone is dancing to the Saudis tune of money and everyone has a price
NO WAY SAUDI!
4 players that were trained by their own club and 8 homegrown players they will struggle with that
They will put their rule and regulation that's what they are doing in the whole world… football is going worst than a game๐ข๐ข๐ข
The only asset the Premier league had once upon a time was money too. They feeling it that they have to be the spectators of someone else doing what they did themselves ๐๐๐
I have a new theory, what if Saudi creates a new Super League themselves inviting the best of europe, asia, and all continents.
They say fk you UEFA, we don't need you.
The financial matter aside, UEFA readily accepts teams from israel into its competitions so a precedent has already been set for participation from the Middle East.
