Always thought the Playstation - UEFA was a much better deal.


Definitely. Way cheaper with a more targeted marketing.

I'm sorry...Croatia and Cameroon?  I'm surprised that you, as a Croatian, have such a dim view of your own country. Since independence in 1991, you have qualified for all bar one world cup finals  and were semi-finalists in 1998.  That is an exemplary record.

Cameroon have qualified for 6 world cup finals and reached the quarter finals in 1990.  Again, that is a record that far surpasses many, so called, traditional footballing nations.

I was just trying to point out their failure in this World Cup, while trying not to anger many other nationalities that actually have worse teams :)

Croatians tend to be all or nothing nation - either we are the champs (Handball, Waterpolo, tennis, basketball once upon a time) or don't even bother showing. Going to the WC to lose in a group stage is a disappointment...

But most of all, I was exaggerating....

It really made no sense to have it. They get alot more exposure with the Champions league sponsorship.

It would be interesting if FIFA loss most of their support and confederations made their own world cup. You would need at least UEFA and CONMEBOL to create something worth watching or with the title "World Cup" in it though

So Samsung replaces Sony and Qatar Airways replaces Emirates

Nothing is going to change

I don't think there's any chance of any sort of revolt against UEFA. The FA (England) are the only ones who are openly criticising them as far as I know and our media is ripping them to shreds. But nobody else hugely cares as far as I know

All I care about is that the Premier League and Champions League aren't broken. Diego Costa not playing for Spain was the most exciting thing that happened in the last international break for me

Save money and distance yourself from a corrupt organization which is even involved with modern slavery in Qatar. I'd say that this is a very smart move from Sony.
