ClintonNzedimma:

yes all the mentioned teams have won Champions League at some point.

CFCfan:

Hosting the World Cup every 2 years means that only European and North American countries would be considered. Unless an Aftican country is named as a host, at least, 6 years in advance.
I would also like the Women's World Cup to be hosted every 2 years.

thegoodjoehunt3:
It could be arranged and it will give more countries a chance to host. I like the idea. I wonder why FIFA officials kicked against it. But, I believe the 2 years World Cup arrangement will happen sooner than later.

thegoodjoehunt3:
When did Bilbao and Villarreal win champions league? Is Villarreal not a new team in Europe?

ClintonNzedimma:

The fifa world cup will always be the bigger franchise.
It ranked as the 2nd most searched in google last year, lets not even talk about the people who have no internet access that watch it.
Whether its hosted every year or every 10 years.

ClintonNzedimma:

villareal was a deadly team in the 80s and 90s.
I am speaking from the historical point of view.

thegoodjoehunt3:
Is the World Cup still the second most searched this year? I doubt. That is the point. Once every for years means nothing compared to large searches that go on every year into European football,

thegoodjoehunt3:
No. Villarreal is a new team.

Look at this excerpt from Wiki.

Primera Liga debut
Villarreal's Primera Liga debut started with a match against then European champions Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabéu on 31 August 1998. The first home game was against Celta de Vigo[5] the week after. Because of a difficult season, Villarreal were relegated to the Segunda División for the 1999–00 season. By finishing third, they were then promoted back to the Primera Liga.

The entered La Liga for the first time in1998.

ClintonNzedimma:

Champions League is not even in the top 10 at the moment.

thegoodjoehunt3:
If you do the Sum total of searches of all clubs in Champions league, for four years, the result is crazy.

ClintonNzedimma:

hmmm...seems i got my facts wrong

ClintonNzedimma:

The fifa world cup will always be the bigger franchise.
It ranked as the 2nd most searched in google last year, lets not even talk about the people who have no internet access that watch it.
Whether its hosted every year or every 10 years.

ClintonNzedimma:

lets face the issue, the EPL shouldnt get bigger than this, it will kill football in the future.

CFCfan:

No doubt about it

thegoodjoehunt3:
Villarreal are new. Very few Spanish teams have dominated because most of the money goes to Barca and Real and it has caused the league for lose its flare.

How many to companies will invest in Celta Vigo or Real Betis. The first step is to split the TV rights revenue at least 30% to Real and Barca and the rest to the other teams. These teams like Getafe can buy players to compete. In turn investors would come.

Platini should face the truth and stop making the Champions league and the La Liga victims.

ClintonNzedimma:

lets face the issue, the EPL shouldnt get bigger than this, it will kill football in the future or it could be self destruct button to the league.
Remember when Serie A was the biggest league in the world in the 90s.

ClintonNzedimma:

but the TV rights deal is fould play.
Sky sports is a british company that is the biggest sport television company in the world had to invest in the EPL, thats really unfair bro.
Patiently waiting for one Middle East Billionaire to invest in La Liga.

thegoodjoehunt3:
There is nothing wrong in it. The EPL is worth the risk. A Spanish company cannot invest in La Liga until the league is better packaged.

ClintonNzedimma:

i get your point, the EPL is ahead but of La Liga financially but the current TV rights deal is going to make the gap to wide.

thegoodjoehunt3:
The La Liga FA needs to focus on raising the standard of the La Liga. If not, the few stars they have will depart.

Remember the exodus of players from Malaga. This was because of no money. Valencia had to sell Villa, Silva, Mata and Joaquin to raise money to pay salary.

If the TV rights revenue is shared, the clubs will buy better players and the league gets more attractive to investors.

ClintonNzedimma:

yes but the stars in barca and madrid need to be paid too.
I bet u that if Barca and Madrid were in EPL, they would be the biggest earners.

thegoodjoehunt3:
Barcelona and Real's case is a case of the rich gets richer.

The small clubs in La Liga are fading.

thegoodjoehunt3:
If you do the Sum total of searches of all clubs in Champions league, for four years, the result is crazy.

ClintonNzedimma:

but i still find it funny that upon the money spent in EPL, La Liga has overall better teams.

CLT123:
Only because it happens every year.

thegoodjoehunt3:
Barcelona and Real Madrid have been reigning long before the EPL became what it is today. Real Madrid have been reigning since the 50s.

thegoodjoehunt3:
I believe England has more European Champions than Spain. From Liverpool to Nottingham Forrest, To Manchester United to Chelsea.

Barca and Real does not make the whole league. Lately, the EPL teams are superior than the Spanish teams.

ClintonNzedimma:

parrotibaba:
The TV rights in EPL will even grow bigger in later years ,players like Isco ,Aubameyang,Pedro will be attracted to d likes Tottenham n Everton n let's face it ,LA liga has been buying d EPL stars for years ,now d tables hv turned I guess ...

thegoodjoehunt3:
That is my point.

ClintonNzedimma:

no its the other way around.
EPL stars often bcome flops in La Liga while La Liga stars bcome gods in EPL.
