Tomaszk Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 We ruined their plans by winning it. There is not a chance in hell this would be binned if a Barca U21 team had beaten a Bayern U21 last year. Shit off UEFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Plantini has also ruined the European Championships by making it 24 teams by 2016. Good decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 16, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 16, 2013 Football is dying in front of our very eyes day by day year after year and UEFA are the one's with blood on their hands. We all as football fans have let the money men destroy our game. Still, looks good on our widescreen TV's in HD doesn't it.... oooh 3D you say....

Agree with this, even think if Chelsea had won it would've been supported and publicised more.. But as it was "little lowly Aston Villa" then they are not happy.

Agree with this, even think if Chelsea had won it would've been supported and publicised more.. But as it was "little lowly Aston Villa" then they are not happy. I don't think that's true at all. UEFA only allowed the NextGen series to go ahead to see if such a competition would work or generate interest, and as soon as the NextGen showed its capabilities, UEFA decided to go ahead with their own money spinning version, all in my own opinion of course. Us winning it had no bearing on UEFA's decision, it would've happened who ever won, if anything us winning has put a spanner in the works for UEFA as many good sports journalists will question why the current U19 Champions of Europe will not participate in UEFA's version. I also think that "funding" is just an excuse, all the big teams are playing in UEFA's competition this year, so NextGen probably had very few teams willing to participate.

mikeyp102 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 ^^ I know it was mentioned but I haven't heard anything that it is confirmed, a brief glance on uefa website doesn't mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not to be taken as gospel, but wikipedia says it's being held this year at the same time as CL group stages on a "trial basis" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
