It’s time to get scared about the European Super League again

Everyone’s soccer nightmare has come true. The Premier League’s big teams had a meeting on Tuesday and it was to talk about THE EUROPEAN SUPER LEAGUE *spooky music plays*.

Well, maybe. The teams deny that their meeting was about that, and instead say that it was mostly about preseason tournaments, with a little talk about potential changes to the Champions League. All of the Premier League’s big clubs continue to deny that they have any desire to leave the Champions League or Premier League, despite widespread fear to the contrary.
