Clubs are weaker than FIFA, SL was already a testimonial of that and they know it now. It will not be scrapped, we have to be realistic.

But, getting to old system and correcting a mistake is doable. Coaches loved to rotate in friendlies, but not in tournaments. So get back to friendlies.

SL clubs are very few
ALL tier 1 and tier 2 clubs together (who lose players to NTs) THOUGH is a different question.
They have much power
and they have a nuclear weapon: to collectively take the decision to not release any player.
FIFA can hardly do something if that happens, and they will be forced to at least negotiate

National league being taken seriously is a problem. It was supposed to be a replacement of friendlies, when teams used to use 20 players in the same game. Now, taking it seriously costs clubs more
Because involving nationalist monkeys in the stands and flags wouldn't end up being taken seriously in a competition. Then there sre the mediocres who want a trophy or whatever they give at the end to brag to their national fan base.

Involving ideologies in cleaning the shit would make people kill each other over that shit.
UEFA saw the oportunity to make money by giving those monkeys a hill to die on.
I expect the religious cup. That would be the ultimate golden mine for FIFA. Imagine the fervor

What I like the most about this guy is that he has the mindset of a killer, but without the arrogance. He is ruthless, cutthroat and super confident, yet despite that manages to stay low key and humble.

He breaks the mould. The Ronaldo era fooled us all in to thinking to be a top player you need that arrogance, self promotion and bravado. Excuse after excuse were made for Ronaldo's arrogance as a result.

Then along comes little Dani Olmo who will take the team on his shoulders but bring his teammates with him and not stand on the podium alone. He is the smartest player on the pitch, but will use his intelligence to help his teammates succeed, rather than grabbing all the success for himself.

Dani Olmo has taught us all, you don't need to be a bastard to be successful in business.

Olmo's agent Andy Bara was on podcast yesterday...He is known for his good relathionship with Laporta and Barcelona.

He said some intersting things:

- they know that he will be registered, maybe not first game or two, but he had Laporta's promise
- few Premier League clubs (all playing in CL) wanted Olmo. Liverpool is one of confirmed
-Barca didn't want to sell Faye, but because of Olmo, they needed to sell
-They wanted to sell Inigo Martinez but he declined to leave
-Barca can get Faye for 30mil
-PSG really offered 250mil for Yamal
-Barca still generate 1.2b of income, but expense is still quite big, and they are working on reducing it
-With Camp Nou being back, they plan in 2025/26 to be finnally ready for spending big
