Guff football is pish

Genk and Ghent were in the quarter finals of the Europa League a couple of seasons back and played against each other; therefore, Genk did appear in the semis

However, Genk are not a team to have sympathy for, they have plenty of resources and a very good youth academy. I was there earlier this season to watch them against Brondby and they've quite an impressive set-up...

EDIT: It was actually the Round of 32 that Genk played Ghent and Genk were knocked out in the quarters by Celta Vigo in 2016/2017

Good knowledge. I only used them as the are the new Waterschei.

I was more pointing out that the big wigs dinna care about sh@tey belgian fitba. Just like the dont Scottish or Irish or Czech or Swiss etc etc. Its all about the money

Is it all that different from the NFL though?

And watching Man City is f.ucking boring for the most part. It's almost that they're too good, most matches are like training games.

It is different in the sense that the NFL, flaws and all, exists as a stand alone body, and, unless a particular club is very badly run, you have a shot at winning periodically.

It's made that way with the draft and the cap system.

It's not like there's other American Football Leagues suffering because of the pervasive economic model of the NFL.

The Collegiate system seems to function OK-ish (again not without flaws) and any new leagues are designed as (much needed IMHO) developmental leagues.

This is brilliant. Geoffrey Boycott on Man Utd's pravda TV channel, they won't be having him on again.

I'd say Geoffrey has had a glass of dinner.

Maybe he is in the middle of transitioning to a Man City fan. Or maybe the other way round.

If that’s genuine then there must be some explanation. Maybe that’s the wee lad’s name and he got it for his 7th birthday ?
