How The European Super League Is Going To Change Football Forever?

Over the weekend, the entire football world witnessed a bombshell that is going to totally transform the football world forever, and something that certainly shocked a lot of us.

Reports are now emerging around the world that there are plans for there to be a European Super League in which there will be 15 founding clubs starting this summer, but how is this going to change the beautiful game forever – below we look into this further.

So firstly, what is the European Super League and how will the competition work? The intention of the European Super League was to rival the Champions League format in which there will be up to 20 teams competing.

The format would see two groups of 10 in which they would play home and away, with the top four from each group going into a two-legged knockout series to determine a winner from each league and then they would compete against the finalists of the other league. Although this might seem like a good idea at face value, there has

The main way that this will impact football is that domestic football will be totally transformed due to this as many major authorities including the FA has threatened to throw out the clubs who are looking to join the European Super League which includes Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Arsenal.

This would totally take away from the essence of the Premier League in the first place as many teams each year attempt to break into the top 6 however with the introduction of the ESL, this will take away any attempt of this moving forward.

Another way in which this is going to impact football moving forwards is that the big corporations are now threatening to ban players from the clubs of the teams moving into the ESL.

This will mean they will no longer be able to play in any of their competitions which including the Champions League, Euros and World Cup which will take away any ambition for many players to be able to do what they dreamed and set out to do when they first become professional footballers.

Whilst we await the outcome of the legal battles within the governing bodies and the ESL, many football punters are migrating to online casino sites, with a list of them here, which are offering a 24/7 gambling experience to make a profit from the comfort of their own homes.

 

Lee Westwood Proving Age Is Just A Number

Former world number one Lee Westwood has had a fantastic career in golf.

Not only has he won 25 European Tour events, but he has also been inside the top-10 of the Major Championships on 19 occasions.

At the age of 47, Westwood is now in the twilight stages of his career. His form in 2021 is up there with the very best players on the PGA Tour. His most notable performance came in the Players Championship where he finished second behind Justin Thomas.

A week prior to his result at Sawgrass, Westwood was also second in the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. On that occasion, it was Bryson De Chambeau who he was involved in a fantastic tussle with on the back nine on the Sunday.

Westwood has always been renowned for being a clean striker of the ball. He is an excellent iron player whose tee-to-green game has been up there with the leading players of the last three decades. If there is one area that has let him down at times, it is his putting. His numbers this season are better than average, which is why he is consistently at the top end of leaderboards.

The Englishman will be hoping he can win his maiden Major Championship in 2021. He is generally considered as one of the best players not to lift one of the four big trophies. It would be extra special for the man from Worksop if that was in the Open Championship where he is 28/1 in the golf betting for the tournament at Royal St George’s Golf Club.

Order of Merit Success

Westwood made history last December by becoming the oldest player to lift the European Tour’s Race To Dubai crown. It was the third time in his career that he had won the Order of Merit in Europe.

The Englishman was second in the DP World Tour Championship behind Matt Fitzpatrick, but it was enough prize money to secure the end of season merit ahead of the likes of Patrick Reed and Collin Morikawa.

Although it was his consistency across the season that helped Westwood lift the Order of Merit trophy, he was successful in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. That success helped him to climb up to the top end of the prize money charts very early into the campaign.

Ryder Cup This Year At Whistling Straits

Given how well he is playing, Westwood will be hoping he returns to the European team for the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits later this year. He has not appeared in the playing team since Europe lost to the USA in 2016 at Hazeltine National Golf Club.

Westwood is very experienced in Ryder Cup golf. He has featured in 10 different Ryder Cup matches stretching all the way back to 1997. With 23 points, he is one of the most successful golfers in the history of the bi-annual team competition.

It is set to be an exciting year ahead for Westwood. He has started 2021 very strongly and with so many big tournaments to come over the next six months, he could be set for one of the best seasons of his career.
