why? and will they start playing more games in other countries ? I find it stupid, because they have to travel to US for a match and come back. It's different from having to take the buss or plane for couple hours, than taking the plane for many hours.

Main reason is money.

I hope clubs tell them to fuck off, but you never know

From a business perspective it makes sense in the same way many European teams have shifted their pre-season abroad.

It increases global interest in the league leading to increased revenue, and they get to destroy the planet just that little bit more.

In my opinion, the decay of football to the pure Americab sports franchise system has been rapid in the last years... maybe that's just my perspective though.

I knew about pre-season and I'm ok with this, but doing season games in another countries is stupid.

@[email protected] Fuck fifa, fuck barca, real, juve and psg(along with some uk clubs), they did destroy soccer in many ways for money.

Fuck that. I hope the players boycott if it happens.

This shit needs to be nipped in the bud before it becomes normalised. Horrible idea.
