Haha! We had one supercup in 2021 that was played in Tel Aviv of all places for some reason. Well, at least the league has promised never to do anything like that again after some serious backlash.
Although I don't know MLS, your description could also be true when considering smaller European leagues. As a Dutchman I somewhat follow the Dutch Eredivisie. There we have a generally well developed fan culture, full stadiums with good atmosphere and several teams challenging for the title all while not being skinned alive as English fans often are.
As someone who really started watching football when United started their absurd phase of dominance in the early 1990s, it still feels weird seeing them muddle around in mid table now. I guess this is how my father's generation must have felt about Liverpool until Klopp took over and turned things around.
I thought that was the entire point of the show; to get the highlights of the matches!? I mean, it's not Gary Lineker's charming personality.
As a Dutchman living in Germany I can attest to the immense difference that dubbing makes. While even young children in the Netherlands consume tons of English language media and have done so for decades, their peers in Germany generally get only dubbed versions. This leads to a lackluster immersion when "properly" learning English.
Das ist eine gute Idee; merke ich mir!
Thanks for compiling the data. I suspect the data could be heavily skewed by the different employment models of the clubs. Some likely opt to cover many functions with in house staff while others probably prefer outsourcing various duties. Does this model account only for staff of the "football company"; does it include subsidiaries like club TV stations and the like?
Some of these really stretch the definition of what I'm comfortable with as "Pizza"
Ja, der Netzwerk-Effekt ist sicherlich stark, aber es hält Dich niemand davon ab einen fließenden Übergang zu machen. Ich nutze seit Jahren Signal als Messenger neben dem leider immer noch weiter verbreiteten Marktführer. Sobald ich aber mit einem Kontakt über Signal kommuniziere, gab es nie einen Schritt zurück. Mit der Zeit sind stetig mehr Kontakte auf Signal und vielleicht kann ich eines Tages den Übergang komplett machen. So einen weichen Übergang würde ich jedem empfehlen - kostet nichts extra, kann aber mittelfristig den Netzwerk-Effekt kippen lassen.
While I agree with you that it was a very wise decision by the Général to retain an independent nuclear deterrent and develop modern aircraft independently, the French tank development has been sorely lacking. There are roughly five times as many Leopard IIs in service as there are Leclercs. I hope the joint development of a next generation tank can deliver, as European armies really should try to work towards a common and independent development of systems.
