>run own football tournament.>in two decade send an all-star team to the FIFA WC for lulz... great now add a euro olympics team and we have a federation
>>157172016WC is UEFA + 2 LATAM teams and 1-2 teams in Africa. Nobody would tune in if all European teams just boycotted the thing by not showing up
>>157172041for now, but europe will be 5% of the world population in future and the other 95% will forget the past glory and just watch their teams in some WC.
>>157172052European clubs and European infrastructure (football academies, dieting, etc..) are unrivaled. There isn't a single continent that can compete. When a player wants to be elite, they have to go through Europe and compete in European leagues. Top 5 most watched football leagues in the world are all EuropeanName me a single elite footballer that hasn't gone through Europe. Pro tip: you can't
>>157172072Thats not my point, my point is: you'll surely have global fans tuning into the euros, but billions of thirdies will consider a state tournament like the NBA (the best in basketball)
>>157172016What would a current EU team look like? Aside for black, course..
>EU would be all the force of European combinedIt would be a different kind of European though. Through socialist upbringing they would be lethargic and feeble like Canadians and modern Germans, folding under pressure
>>157172052No anon
>>157172509you have to go home, Edin
