It's the thin end of the wedge. The NFL being held here is ****ing disgraceful for American fans but has whet the whistle of the Premier League.

Not with this. It's not just a pre season tour is it? It's a premier league sponsored and branded tournament that is being given publicity. It's foundation digging for a bigger move. The less involved the Americans are with the Premier League the better. Huge amount of American ownership and a drive for a relegationless super league aren't coinkydinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Premier League Asia Trophy has been going since 2003 and is a creation of the league; this threat pops up every few years and nothing has ever happened.

And the Premier League will be eyeballing the franchise and relegationless model with a greedy eye. The wetter the beaks of the top birds the better and what place is more awash with money than America, particularly in the arena of sport. And, at it's core, I object to all attempts to Americanise football. I think their sports culture to be dumb and gauche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalis Posted 12 April 2023 Share Posted 12 April 2023 Was there not already some sort of Premier League Trophy pre season thing in Asia for years, that we played in once?

We can both agree on Americans / Americanisation my brother but I'm not catastroph-ising over this. No matter how many owners buy clubs I just don't think the culture over here will allow for it.

Ohhhh…that big scarey beast across the pond… If the PL is has strong & European football full of fans dire to to keep the tradition, USA is just another spring for world football, they sit between S.America & growing Canada..Why shouldn’t they the PL /Europe expand, & there will be needs for compromises, I am an old man but football like all sports developes and evolves.. The strength on those changes, is within those traditions themselves,from participants & fans.I have seen American kids & their parents embrace soccer & Rugby, some trying hard to understand the offside in various phases,or the handball runaround, Rugby-penalties ,etc ,maybe the answer comes from that side of the pond,we in the traditional old school countries, ain’t hit on them only various compromises in nearly 200years. They might show us how to use and not abuse ( political or incompetence) VAR, How game officials inform & interface “live” with the terrasses,without fear. How game officials are made to have after game interviews,without fear and learn how to get on with it.& stand for their descisions… I won’t see it, I won’t live that long ,but I welcome and embrace it USA-PL/ other sports exchanges including the misunderstood banter in our languages, & despite those cynical , bias immature fears.. I am bias in/to our UK/European sport traditions,I dislike many things in USA sports onfield culture,but enjoy even more..!! From court, field though to pitches… The American must win mental attitude in all walks of life,is more media push,but still too in depth for my liking within their society.Its quite refreshing to know its not in all Americans,successfull or survival candidates… I hate the American transfer system,or a threat in any sport of no-relegation. It won’t stop me watching the various sports,but on these points I would protest and demonstrate,so strongly against.!! But that will be a fight or rule-compromisers of the future…And no authorities or officials,businessmen cant force or tell the fans…Or those fans will go off elsewhere to seek and recreate… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The atmospheres in the MLS beats most of what we have here, believe me plenty of americans take the piss out of how quiet our stadiums are.
