Will we see a renaissance of Serie A (the NBA of the 90s) soon?

No, that's just a fluke year, we are in serious trouble with revenues in Italy

I don't agree, sir.

italian teams are solid, and also the bottom ranking ones are a tough nut to crack.

there are like 8 very good teams (the listed above + atalanta and lazio) fighting for places in europe.

the level is rising. Serie A is obviously not at the Premier level, but overall is above La Liga and Ligue 1 actually.

When it comes to Europe it's about the too teams.

This is a strange year with many top European teams in transition, the Italians don't have the same talent or resources

it actually is more fun because you see more teams from different leagues outside the big 6

I totally agree. I like to watch teams outside the big 6. I find them more entertaining, and I pretend I'm a scout looking for up and coming talent, haha 😄

We can all dream of being Will Still by becoming a decent manager by playing FM 😉

Can’t really comment on that when it’s the conference league

Well, it is a bit like a gold vs. silver medal comparison.

A spot in the champions league is plain better than X spots in Europe league.

Very much depends. For raw prize money a spot in the Champion’s League is best, but the UEFA Coefficient -which is used to decide how many teams each country can send to each of the three leagues- doesn’t differentiate the leagues. You gain as many points for a win in the CL as you would for a win in the ECL.

I commented on the last post mentioning the colour-blind issue and just saw you replied to that! Obviously ideally you'd always want to pick colours that reflect something in the dimensions (trophy logos in this case) as you did in the original post, but from my perspective this is great. Solid colour picks and very easy to distinguish. Nice one 🏆

Just thought I'd let you know that part of the reason why you are getting downvoted could be due to colour choices. The orange and green are nearly indistinguishable for people with red-green colour blindness.

Really? My red green blind ass could distinguish them pretty clearly. But I agree color coding is so frequently filled with dumb choices r/dataisbeautiful regularly drives up my blood pressure

Thanks - I shared a version without the orange and green colors in my comment on this post. This post also has more upvotes than when I posted the RO16 version.

In Conference League, fierce heads of hydra: almost all teams

Third, goofy head of hydra: Lech Poznań

This should be ranked like Olympics where 1 Gold is better than shit load of silvers. So Germany, Portugal, Spain above Belgium
