Not even close. They are a great team, but historically they are way behind a minimum of 12 to 15 teams.

Their team now is very solid, but the French league is really weak and it allows them to rest their best players and concentrate on the Champions League. Which they have won the last two years. Fun as hell to watch for sure.

I was bored so I came in here and I was prepared to defend soccer's worldwide popularity; but upon further review, PSG isnt even in the top 50 sports franchises worldwide by value. It might be #5 in soccer alone worldwide, but there's 4 soccer franchises more valuable, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester, and Barcelona .


I don't know how else you establish whether this is factual or not; what other metric is relevant. A fact has to be based on something tangible no?

Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are probably worth more than PSG. Better TV deals and stadiums for sure.

Lol "Potential Accessibility Issues" right, like flaming buses in front of the store.

Must be the French way of saying "changing consumer habits"

These are names I know.

Soccer franchises, not so much. Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Manchester United are the only ones I could pull up from memory.

I must follow it less


You think the Saints game will be played on schedule, FB?
