I personally wouldn't like to see it happening.
I know if this would happen UEFA would make a lot of profits etc.
But it just wouldn't be fun would it?For an away-game you then would have to travel 1000miles and all that kind of stuff.
I think that the leagues should just stay the way they are!!

Same here!

I would HATE to see a Euroleague. Personally I think it is so stupid...

I think that this Euroleague or Super-league or whatever is the worst thing that could possibly happen to football (save for the entire elimination of the transfer system, perhaps). Whoever came up with the idea should be dragged into the street and shot.

Well you basically have a Euro Super League with this expanded Champion's League format!...it lasts as long as an entire season... but I can't complain even if I do think it should be for Champions only... it has provided even more interleague action and some exciting matches... Tommy Smythe on ESPN2 had it right when he commented during the Leeds v. Barcelona match " this is what old European football was like, big clubs having to go into small grounds and needing to win or they're out of it."

Although I find it the idea interesting from a fantasy point of view it is just too unrealistic to have teams traveling all over Europe week in and week out... then you have the politics of who is in it and who isn't, who gets promoted and relegated etc... it just wouldn't work realistically. Afterall, it's really just some of the big clubs that want it to fill their greedy pockets... it would ruin the domestic leagues for sure... but it's fun to set it up and play it out on FIFA! http://www.soccergaming.com/ubb/smile.gif

no kidding...the games right now aren't that exciting. 2 years ago the best games "bayern-manchester, barcelona-manchester ...etc.) were fun to watch because the top teams didn't get to play each other a lot and each game was important. this year there is such a game every weekend. noone even remembers who lost to lazio 3 or 4 weeks ago (if anyone did)

same here, the league is the most idiotic idea ever and that it would worsen the leagues like Scotland, Norway, Holland, Portugal which are exciting because of 1-2-3 clubs...
