La Liga and Relevent, the organizers of the International Champions Cup, have signed at 15-year deal to play one game per season in North America, with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla or Valencia playing in either the United States or Canada, likely at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Craig Burley and Mark Donaldson of ESPN FC discuss the news, and whether it's a good idea.

Fuck off you fat Scottish prick who the fuck are you
I am american… And the people don't really care about soccer…. Especially la liga…
We've done a podcast from a fans point of view on this topic check us out if you're interested
If not enjoy the rest of your day
Fucking Yanquies
I hope they strike.
This is a massive fuck you to fans of the smaller teams with season tickets. They wait all season to play barca or madrid and now they wont be able to go
This is a horrible idea. Tebas is a fucking businessman who doesn't know a single thing about football. Football is more superior than money. And if Tebas is planning to get some profit by playing in USA then it's a wrong idea. Because in USA, people do only know about FCB, RMA and I think camp nou and Barnabeu is almost always full even in Spain. But what about small teams ?? In their matches there won't be any supporters. This is fucking irrational, unrelevent and also unfair.
STOP THIS NONSENSE
This is lowkey lit because it’s a dream to see a Barça game ???
Pero que mierda es esta?
I understand that the U.S. is a very lucrative market, but this makes no sense for the Home-Away system. Plus these teams already make a lot of money in Spain. But I agree with Spanish Club Academies expanding into the U.S. to find young talent and increase general interest in the sport.
They gonna show Real Madrid vs Barcelona in the USA
It's a bad idea. If they bring Barca, Real, or Athletico over here against any other club it's just gonna be like another home game for those 3 clubs. It's not gonna benefit other La Liga clubs unless they get most of the money from the game which I know they won't.
Before they come to North America, shoud La Liga not focus on filling their stadiums instead? Or are Spaniards now too poor to afford football tickets out of a sudden? As far as everyone is concerned, fillings the stands at home is always more important than playing abroad.
NFL does it.
Worst idea ever
