@UltimateBucketList7 ай бұрын
I dunno - having a relic for a national stadium isn't necessarily a good thing. I understand your reasoning for wanting to keep old museum piece stadiums, but real-world practicality is not there. Is the new Wembley a soulless gollum of existential dread? Yes. But it makes a lot of money that funds a competitive national team in a place where a normal person can watch sports in supreme comfort. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.
