Modern football has been going down the pan for years now, but, it may just have reached its zenith with this year's European Cup.
Of the four semi finalists, two are the playthings of tyrannical, human rights abusing nation states, one is the insurance policy of a criminal oligarch and the final, egalitarian option...... Real Madrid.
So we have three host organisms for grand scale sports washing, and General Franco's team.
Is this rock bottom?
Or have we new depths to plumb?
So the criminal Oligarch prevails, meaning Abu Dhabi Citeh have still won one less European trophy than Aberdeen.
This pleases me........but modern fitba is still shite.
Oh, and, no, I didn't watch it.
I checked the half time score and bet "o goalscorer" in the second half.
