Toje Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 The Philadelphia Fury played Eibar to a 1-1 draw. The Fury play in the ASL which is essentially the 5th tier in US soccer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgVRfjyARzI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I watched the start of Dynamo killing Real Sociedad last night too. The Liga sets up these tournaments, supposedly to build brand identity, then the clubs drag their butts and play subs, not surprising after a long season. But still, I think La Liga is basically dumb and badly run, you have this great quality of play and they market it terribly with this useless LFP world challenge. As a club you are way better off just doing the tours on your own, your way, in your terms, than putting up with the guys running things in Madrid.

They did one thing right recently in unifying the teams to sign a massive league wide TV contract. Granted, Real Madrid and Barcelona are still getting the vast majority of it but it's a start I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team like Sporting Gijon, who has not signed in 2 years for legal restrictions because of debt, is going to double what they get. What we really need is for the relegated teams to have a similar deal to in England where they continue to receive part of their top flight tv deal. That was a very smart rule.
