WTF is going on?
Over the weekend UEFA announced a change in the format of the Champions League, but the Big 6 clubs from England along with Real Madrid, Atletico, Barcelona, inter, AC Milan and Juventus announced a breakaway Eruopean Super League!
What followed were fan protests, player protests, pundit protests and in general a whole lot of confusion. Would the breakaway clubs be kicked out of their domestic leagues? Would they be hit with a points deduction? Would they be punished at all? Nobody seemed to know.
The Corner Flag gang got together to discuss what the ESL would mean for football as a whole, and also to discuss Mourinho's sacking...which was surprisingly not that important in the overall scheme of things!
Also, a huge shoutout to our first ever 'Friend of the Flag' SHIKHER SITOKE! This legend has donated to us YET AGAIN! This act of kindness shall not go unnoticed and we'll be doing some fun stuff with him soon. This is not a euphemism.
(UPDATE: Post our recording, all English clubs have backed out, Ed Woodward has announced his resignation from Manchester United, Atletico and Inter have also backed out and the ESL seems to have gone bust, with Florentino Perez needing truckloads of Saridon. What a mental 48 hours! More on this in a future episode! GODDAMN YOU GUYS FOR NOT DOING ALL THIS BEFORE WE HIT THE RECORD BUTTON!)
