The Spanish Super Cup, similar to the English season warm-up Charity Shield, is being played right now, in Saudi Arabia! As an added bonus there are four teams in it, Both Madrids, Barca & Valencia. Why in Saudi Arabia? Apparently it's worth £34million. Final is between Real & Athletico.
There has always been talk about the 39th game, I wonder if the Charity Shield could become that game in the next few years.
50 Athletico fans made the journey over and were given their tickets free by the club.
By the way, it's not on UK TV.

A lot of clubs are living on their limits despite massive TV deals. Its far from possible that the income from these deals will start to fall in the not too distant future and after that I could easily see Premier League rounds being played in Dubai and similar what-the-****-do-you-want places.
