The nonsense of the UWCL

Women's football needs Super League, it is an indisputable fact. A sport that needs to grow, that needs attractive games, powerful clubs... is doomed to watch infernal knockout rounds -with the UWCL draw- to access a rickety group stage. We, one more year, will play against City, if all goes well... that the first enemy is Sturm Graz.
Of course we have fallen into the group of death, most of the games will not have any appeal at all beyond the premises for Servette fans and other teams like that.
Not even Wikipedia understands it. We explained the elimination and skinning system of the previous UWCL in the post "Women's Super League or Barbarism". Today I was looking in Wikipedia for the usual little graphic of this type of rounds, a little drawing that would make it easy to understand.... but who is going to understand this system?
So let's go with the basics, for starters we have Sturm Graz and if we get out of there alive we will go for City again, like last year. And then back to relying on lotteries.
I was reprimanded by a tweeter yesterday for saying that we were favorites against City. "Two teams under construction and they can have 7,000 in the stands. We will see the aftermath of the Euro, America and Africa." But I said it as a humorous joke (Real should never be favorites in the Champions League, it is very good for us to be underestimated) given that Weir is supposed to be with us this year... and they have signed the Atleti star, Deyna Castellanos, with what that implies of jinx.
The rival, as I have said, will be Sturm Graz because we will go without enough preparation, tired of international competitions. We will see.
I insist that Toril has no excuse. Given that he had so little to do with most of the players who cause loss, the additions have to pay off well. And it is the club that has generated this bad vibes in June, so it is time to show that it has served for something, so much low level. We must enter the group stage or the whole comeback from last year will have been useless.
Of course we have to compete and very seriously. Let's see if Athenea comes to us like last year. Rest well in July, Athe
Instead of games between big clubs, another year of 10-0 games. Meanwhile, in men, there is the Nations League or Conference League. It does not make any sense. Florentino, call Lyon and Wolfsburg, explain the Super League and its aspect for women's football well, and let's put an end to this inefficient system
