Grand Opening, Grand Closing” is probably the best way to describe the events of the proposed European Super League (ESL) in mid-April. Twelve of the most commercially significant football teams in Europe sought to create their own league, in place of the existing Uefa Champions League, which is, at present, the most elite inter-Europe club football tournament. The current global football organisation — from national teams to club teams to intercontinental or intracontinental competition — is sports commerce of the highest order. The odds of an improbable Leicester City title win (a club not among the English League Big Six) were 6,000 to 1 back in 2015. I think Undi18 and getting 18 year olds to vote in Malaysia is one reform that can shock the system.
