Yesterday while watching some of the Bayern Munich v Man City match, I tweeted out...Which is Better? Champions League or World Cup?
An interesting question, I think. Of course there are arguments for both....World Cup is the quintessential event--every four years--bringing National Teams of the top 32 countries together for a 30-day 'world' tournament. Champions League, of course is a yearly Club competition that continues to grow--and thrill-- with the best Clubs in Europe competing above and beyond their respective League competitions.
I like the Champions League because the Club teams seem to be a bit more cohesive--which one would expect as they are playing nearly 60 matches throughout the year. (And maybe that is TOO much for these elite-level athletes--but that's another discussion). I am interested to hear YOUR point of view. Shoot me a comment. Oh, and don't get me wrong....I love to watch World Cup. It is truly THE sporting spectacle globally each 4 years, and the passion and atmosphere for the tournament is unmatched.
Today's matches in the Champions League that interest me are Arsenal v Dortmund and Liverpool v Ludogrets. I had the scores wrong yesterday for sure. Who saw Bayern getting updended? And who knew Chelsea would hang 5 on Schalke?
Wow. And PSG dominating Ajax????? Wow.
Today, I think Dortmund takes care of business against Arsenal, and I think Liverpool ekes one out against Ludogrets.
What do you think? Let us know!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Enjoy your time with family and friends and the kick-off to the Christmas Season!
May the ground beneath your dive be soft. May the opponents hit every shot right at yhou. May your goalposts be 3 feet wide.
All the Best--EV
