2025/2026 International Club Football Thread
New Champions and Europa League are about to start, so lets kick it off!
Crystal Palace appeal rejected.
Quote:
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has rejected Crystal Palace's appeal against their demotion from the Europa League to the Conference League over multi-club ownership (MCO) rules.
UEFA's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) ruled last month that Palace were too closely linked to Lyon.
Palace's appeal had three strands: the CFCB's decision was unfair and unjust, against Forest being elevated to the Europa League, and against Lyon's participation. All three were rejected by CAS.
Nottingham Forest are the beneficiaries, promoted from the Conference League to play in the Europa League. Palace must enter the Conference League in the playoff round later this month, when they will play the losers of the Europa League tie between Fredrikstad and FC Midtjylland -- the second leg is being played on Thursday.

About to start? It started in June! 4 teams from the first preliminary round are still alive.
Malmo, Shkendja, Kairat, and Ludogorets in champions league
These guys would have to win 4 rounds to get to the final 36, it's the 3rd round this week.

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned but Spurs really Spurs'd up the super cup today - Up 2-0 at the 85th minute and lose in penalties.

They did indeed. PSG put on some subs presumably with instructions to 'play' and then it was one-way traffic.
And I dont think Spurs fans are going to be able to mock Arsenal as 'Free Kick FC' this year.

I mean objectively hilarious and the Spurs archetype, but basically no one cares about this one. Smart of Frank though, last Spurs manager to win a trophy got #### canned.

Naw, it was just to get legs under them and some minutes, try out some players, shake off some rust, etc.
Its just getting close to regular season.

Even though I did not watch, sounds like it was what we wanted for a friendly, it was entertaining. Had some shocks, had some drama, some tragedy, and most importantly comedy. Good show I guess.

I had it on in the background and, yeah, for a friendly it was pretty good. For a day with really nothing else on it worked for me.
