It's an interesting conceit. Problem is, you're dramatically reducing the number of games (or, as they so romantically it, inventory) that UEFA and the clubs are selling. Which means they make less money and, by extension, the clubs make less money. And that makes it more difficult to pay those giant salaries...

@Marcotti, @MarkOgden_, @ESPN_BillC, and @ESPNFC ... I already figured out how the Champions League format could be fixed: jarrettbellini.substack.com/p/the-champion…

"He's a liability." @Marcotti & @donhutch4 on Cristian Romero and why Tottenham should apply to play in the Bundesliga 😂

@tj_ohanlon @Squawka You do realize that a) it’s down to scheme/style of play b) those aren’t per 90 numbers

@Marcotti @Squawka 40 year olds winning possession more than anyone else?

Most possessions won in Serie A this season. 💪

@tj_ohanlon @Squawka How does this graph make it seem bad?

@Squawka Yo @Marcotti please tell me Serie A isn’t as bad as this graph makes it out to be

"I would rather my team be knocked out after trying, not being knocked out WITHOUT trying." @Marcotti & @LaurensJulien discuss Chelsea's tactics after their loss to Arsenal in the EFL Cup

"It made NO sense. He looked like a person who has no control of what's going on." @Marcotti & @LaurensJulien critique Arbeloa's set up and substitutions vs Rayo Vallecano

@dannyportelli @LaurensJulien @ESPNFC Oooh… Jacket and Packet… I like the way you think!

@FaridNoorMohd @espnpodcasts @LaurensJulien Thank you... they're a huge part of football history and people will always wonder what might have been...

@espnpodcasts @Marcotti @LaurensJulien Gab, long have I been wanting to ask regarding el grande torino. I am really glad when you were asked the greatest Seria A team during espn show and you went for that team. Thank you for that. Maybe, maybe you should talk more often about it. Let more people learn about them

"He's not necessarily part of the problem, I'm not sure he's part of the solution though." @Marcotti & @LaurensJulien on Álvaro Arbeloa and Mbappé's comments

@ark_dhpl @LaurensJulien Valid point. Though not sure it explains the man in the wall

@Marcotti @LaurensJulien the reason Madrid had a one man wall and a couple others forward for the final free kick is because Madrid needed a goal in order to get a draw and into the top 8. It created a strange situation, but it was actually far more time aware than Benfica were.

@pangerho Agree, it’s not ruining football… it’s just crap to watch

@Marcotti espn.com/soccer/story/_… “Ruining football” might be strong, but agree it is a problem. Two solutions: start calling penalties or fouls more aggressively. Or, make all defenders start a corner inside the goal box, all attackers outside the penalty box.

@StefaN_RM_ And making new fame by beating Real Madrid.

@Marcotti he got lucky, tell us what he won in last 5years? he got sacked from everywhere he coached he is living from old fame

Yeah, warts and all, he is a Special One…. (Not one from the bottle…)
