La Liga 2018/19

Joan Laporta said:

The league's starting tonight. Girona under Eusebio vs. Valladolid (Pucela) is the first match followed by Betis-Levante. Looking forward to the second match. Can't wait to see Betis (albeit, Levante did business this summer as well). Dwamena from Zurich for 6,5 mil and Nikola Vukčević for almost 9 mil from Sporting Braga, neither is expected to start tonight.

Not a very flashy opening, but I reckon it might be more entertaining than the names would suggest.

Doubtful they'd use anybody other than Real, Barca or Atleti and their home game for this. [...]

The problem is you're 100% wrong. The executive chairman of the company behind this was on ESPN yesterday saying that it would most likely be a smaller club's home game.

Don't see the logic in that. Bizarre choice by them if it goes down.

Apparently it's going to be Real Betis v Barcelona in March.

In fucking March when CL is being played.

Peak Tebas that [']

TBH it's better if it bombs at first, because people will be far more careful Europe-wide. It'll be harder to convince people to take it any further and even if they do keep the idea, clubs won't take well to ridiculous scheduling.

I hope Tebas gets booted out. On top of his stupid shit planning without talking with clubs first he always keep making stupid statements, and it's not like he's done such an extraordinary job either that no one else would be able to replicate.
