Why the fark is the Copa America on at the same time as the Euro? How do they expect to pull a TV audience, let alone fill empty stadiums?
The quality of football has been shit.
The artificial pitches are shit.
It's also hilarious that the MLS are not pausing during the international window, instead forcing its clubs to play through the Copa, Euros and Olympics with incomplete rosters. This is when you know they don't give a fuck.

1) With country leagues playing at same time, when else could they do it? Probably yes TV audience less. Filling stadiums tougher for them with considering the distance is greater for the 10 SA team's fans to go to US than countries in Europe. The distances there for the most part are only like traveling between states in the USA. Plus the poor economic conditions that exist for SA countries not many can afford it. For me I'm loving 24/7 Soccer here and Football across the pond!

2) No doubt lesser but wouldn't say the Euros have been that good unless you like plenty of OGs? Okay the Italia-Croatia match was shit until the last 30 seconds.
The artificial pitches are shit.
3) From what has been said, agree and hopefully no injuries from it? Being a Juve fan especially Danilo, Weah, and McKennie.

lnternational football in general has been extremely underwhelming for decades. IMO its downfall started with globalization when clubs were allowed to build super teams stacked with the best players around. You can’t expect national teams to compete with that.
And although what you said is funny, you’re actually right. Brazil being shit is terrible for international football. Same as Italy or any of the big traditional nations. You could compare it to what Serie A became when didn’t have strong teams anymore, the quality of the league itself got compromised.
