2026 season is not working and we have to accept it
Is this the worst “European leagues season”?
I think we’ve seen enough. And, to be honest, it was something we didn’t even need to watch, because we already feared this was going to happen. There is no real competition in AFLE, and there is almost no competition in EFA.
AFLE is a Vikings thing. We already knew it during that awful off-season, when Vienna strengthened their roster with more players than they actually needed to beat second-division teams like Firenze or the Warriors, or even weak top-tier teams like Berlin or the Swiss Whatevers. Now they have also beaten up Rhein Fire, and not even the seemingly inevitable upcoming AFLE championship game has any real interest.
EFA is slightly more interesting… but not by much. We were expecting a Ravens–Storm championship game, with the honest doubt that the Musketeers might be a real option. But they are not. They could probably beat any AFLE team easily, except Vienna, but they are no match for the Storm or the Ravens. At least here we still have a championship game worth watching.
This is the most boring year of ELF, EFA, AFLE, or whatever we want to call this whole mess.
Only a potential EFA–AFLE game could be interesting.
And, of course, if it’s boring, fans are going to pass on it.
This is not going to work.
