France league is ridiculous, with PSG 20 points ahead of the competition, as well Bayern just obliterating everything. Dismissing Portugal just because we don't have extremely wealthy teams is another indication of snubbing from these rich assholes that rule football. Portugal's teams have been at least for the last 5 years getting better results than France, which was indicated by our 5th place in the Uefa ranking. And when I talk about Portugal, I also talk about Russia for example.


France league is ridiculous now (thanks Paris...), but a few years ago Lyon was one of the best european clubs (I would say Top 20 or better, one of the most regular ones in the Champions League with Arsenal IIRC), and was one of the clubs involved in this project (I don't know about now, but I think they'll manage to get in). This idea is nothing new and has been discussed for years, with fluctuating definitions and "borders". Some clubs are better now than what they were then (Leicester ^^, Paris...), others not so much (Chelsea, Lyon...), but I think this is about the potential, finances and regularity of each club. We'll see how it turns out, if it ever works.
