The introduction of the Swiss system has not been news for a long time. For football, this is truly a rubbish system and complete squalor (especially the breakdown of the home game - away game system). But there is good news: UEFA considers this format to be experimental for now, and if within a few seasons it does not prove its advantages, then a return to the old system is possible.
However, I will hope that the Super League will take advantage of the situation and ruin this garbage tournament from UEFA before it collapses itself.
UEFA in their recent changes on how the Champions League should be played have been indirectly taking away the fun of the game and if they should continue with the proposed new formula call the Swiss System, I think it's gonna drive away the passion most people have for the competition. Recently they amended some of the rules in the UEFA Champions League like the "away goal rule" which was scrapped from the competition which I think have taken away some bits of the fun and tension that comes with the rule and now they want to adopt another one. Wether they consider the new format to be experimental or not, I'm of the opinion that it is totally unnecessary to implement it and I hope they have a rethink and stop adopting the new format next season.
The away goals rule made no sense, it defied logic and forced teams to play cautiously at home - obviously the fans who came to watch their team attack suffered from this. There was only one mistake in the away goals rule: its introduction.
As for the Swiss system, it is such garbage that hardly anyone will look at it. Just like no one watches the three rounds of qualifying before the group tournament. Now you don’t have to watch games in the group “officially” but just wait for the playoff stage.
