UEFA's Europa League, quarterfinal "draw": staged pair alert

UEFA set Slavia Praha to face Chelsea. Why? Because they don't want Czech Republic to get more points. Chelsea and Napoli are the best teams remaining in UEFA's Europa League at this time, so UEFA decided to drop the Czech side on the English part of the favourite's list, as they want England to get the most points possible.

Now let's come to why UEFA doesn't want Czech Republic to get more points. It is because Greece "belongs to the west", so the "No to racism" shouters are doing anything they can to favour Greece over those who "belong to the east" I suppose. It is the same reason why Dinamo Zagreb faced such horrible arbitration in Lisbon: the "No to racism" shouters are racists! Most people are only aware of the racism against blacks, but there also is a lot of racism against Slavs, exactly because it isn't in any way criticised in the mainstream media.

This blog contains several posts in Greek, so you can very safely tell that I "belong to the west" too. I theoretically should have no reason to shout about racism against Slavs, you might think. In practice though I 'm not a selfish fuck. I do shout against my country if there 's a good reason to do so. In this case, a trashy championship is favoured over some clearly better ones, just because "it belongs to the west" and "those others belong to the east". Sure, no FIFA-associated championship is particularly good, but still there are differences between championships and it isn't right to favour a championship over another. Here I am basically shouting for meritocracy. Let every championship collect the points it deserves. Neither more nor less than that.

"If they want England to get the most points possible, why did they drop Arsenal on Napoli?" you may ask. The answer is simple: they 're going to stage it so that Arsenal get the most points they can from this pair. UEFA wants to give the Champions' League to Cristiano Ronaldo, but since he plays for Juventus they have to slaughter all other Italian teams if they don't want Italy to approach England and Spain. This is why they slaughtered Inter in the pair with Frankfurt and gave Napoli unacceptable arbitration in Austria (Napoli qualified just because they were too good to be eliminated).

And why does UEFA want to give the Champions' League to Cristiano Ronaldo? The answer can be found in the mainstream media themselves: he is the most marketable player in FIFA's football. He 's no good for the sport as it has to be played, but advertisement companies such as FIFA and its lesser branches care about marketability, not about the sport.
