An incredible Twitter account tweeted “things that lasted longer than the European Super League” after the all-powerful collapse of the separatist competition.
The formation of the controversial ESL was announced Sunday evening in a statement, along with quotes from the founding members’ owners.
On Tuesday, following strong opposition from fans, clubs, players, governing bodies and governments, the league was canceled after the “big six” in the Premier League withdrew.
It was a chaotic two days full of so many developments that it was difficult to keep track of them.
And one fan took it upon himself to highlight all that lasted longer than the ESL. The count attracted over 19,000 followers and produced a series of funny and wonderful posts.
