In MLS there is always talk of adding a relegation system to the league,

Is there? Not officially. Some fans call for it, but MLS has never really said it would. MLS's goal is to expand, it's the only way it makes money. You can't court new franchises by saying "Oh by the way, there is a chance you'll be languishing in the bottom league for a while."

Man I would hate to languish someplace with a bunch of outcasts for years at a time.

VAR is beyond saving.

Is there a time limit where a bad call can no longer be reviewed? Eg. hand ball in Liverpool's penalty box but they score a goal a minute after and before it can be reviewed.

Maybe there's hope yet, apparently City had a hand on it first so it should've been a Liverpool free kick but that isn't reviewable I guess

Big EC weekend coming up and Denmark is meeting Gibraltar today in a must win. It's raining with heavy wind and about 6 degrees, the pitch sucks and we'll draw and not qualify.

Or we'll win big and still be negative towards the national team.

In good news Finland qualified and it's apparently the first time they'll enter the EC.

They've actually said that they are studying it;  I posted about it some time back.  Now, it's entirely possible that they just said that to mollify fans who want to see it, but they did say it.  Of course, even if they were sincere, there's still a huge difference between studying an idea and deciding to implement it.

Their first major tournament indeed. Litmanen was maybe the best they had, but there was less spots back then.

So the Spanish Super Cup will be played in Saudi Arabia for the next three years? I'm sure Spanish fans will appreciate that. :P
