Yes, it would be much more interesting if they would leave the Bundesliga for a UEFA Super League or something.
Bayern have outgrown the league...let's just leave them in a Special League by themselves while the other 17 clubs create a new league where one team doesn't poach all the talent
People criticize Spain for having only two teams, but in reality it's just because those two teams are so ****ing good that no one can beat them. Even if you remove Barca+Real, Spanish teams would still dominate Europe. Atletico Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, Valencia, Sevilla, Malaga, Villarreal, they all had really lengthy European campaigns in recent years. In terms of pure quality, nothing can top La Liga
Zlatan is probably the most uninamously loved foreign player in Finland like ever. IDK how he does it and he's a controversial player in Sweden, but here only loved. It's especially remarkable when he's Swedish, our mortal enemy in sports.
The Laudrup brothers were perhaps the only previously matched ones.
He deliberately refuses to speak proper Swedish even though he was born here and instead speaks some thug accent, has assaulted numerous opponents throughout his career, acted rude, believes he's god etc.
The moment he became national team captain I stopped supporting Sweden. I can hardly look at the guy. Now that he plays for the most disgusting club on the planet that's a match made by the devil.

What a douche.
Yeah, maybe it's because he refuses to conform. And maybe Finns are attracted to that. Stirring up the pot but not having to deal with the rest.
Our worst enemies in football:
Sweden
Sweden
Sweden
Russia
Russia
Norway
Estonia
Hungary
Romania
Wales
Serbia
Turkey
Germany
Italy
Not sure which game to watch, Arsenal vs Bayern or Real vs Napoli. I'm guessing Real vs Napoli cause I can at least root for Napoli, meanwhile I hate both Arsenal and Bayern
How the F is this possible? Child soldier! We didn't allow 16-yo's to join the military even in WWII!
You can join the military here as soon as you've left school. That's what I did, but as dunno says, you can't be deployed until you turn 18. I was in Iraq at 18, getting around £2500 a month in pay. Not many 18 year olds get that, although obviously not many would want to do that. In an ideal world, I'd have had a better childhood and gone to uni. Not the case. No regrets though nonetheless. As I'm sure you know, the military does teach you alot as a person.

You're absolutely correct. Although I was in the Navy, and in a technical branch, as you say there's the Army and also the RAF. Army is much less desirable though IMO.

Do you get some bonuses from the military? Like easier access to universities later?
Yes I went to the university of south Wales to get my aeronautical engineering degree. The mod helped fund it, and also gave me the time off when I needed it. As it wasn't a full time course, it did mean a lot of long evenings after work studying. Worth it though. I did my A levels shortly after joining the RN too.
I knew I needed to be proactive, as I'd never achieve anything without 100% effort. I wanted to make sure I could have a life that I could only dream of as a child, so I do believe my bad experiences as a child have helped me as an adult.

Indeed it did for me and probably you too. I never critisised that. And it's a simple life. Structured lifestyle, clear rules, clean clothes and healthy food. OTH, it's not for everyone. I actually toyed with the idea of military life, but figured out that I was too an individualistic mind for that. A friend actually went to the military academy and graduated as an Ensign, but left immediately when he was allowed. It wasn't for him. It looks good in his CV though.

That's a good thing. I support this policy wholeheartedly.
But it would be good for Owen, we probably agree on that.

Navas again fooling around. TBH, Real's play looks like it's from a slow-motion film. Again.
