I've been hearing the various complaints from both sides regarding the size of the Fortuna Arena in Prague, at around 20k - each team will have an allocation of 5k tonight. Neither team has been in a European Final for decades, I'm assuming they could fill out an 80k+ stadium without issue.

Ignoring the complaints from the supporters point of view, is it not a wasted opportunity for the host city in terms of revenue? It's a great opportunity to bring money in via hospitality, transport, and other services. Although Prague specifically does not have a stadium with a capacity larger than 20k, the final could have potentially generated 4x + income for someone.

West Ham supposedly have in excess of 20k fans there so to far too small for any final.

Ludicrous decision to host it in such a small stadium.

West Ham fans attacked again, this is becoming a common theme in Europe this season.

West Ham could have probably sold it out on their own - as far as attendances go they’re one of the biggest teams in Europe.

It's pathetic, but not entirely surprising.

I mean I'm not surprised that an Italian based team are going down a bit easily.

They're not getting hold of the ball at all. I like Antonio, but he's not great with his back to goal.

That was better, get him in down the channel.

To be fair to Fiorentina, that was a pretty blatant dive as well.

Saw those plastic cups with the handles on for the first time during the world cup when I went for a pint in the Aardvark, I knew no good would come of them.

I started watching this to support an English team in Europe. Pretty disgraceful from West Ham. Talking of a small minority, but there’s dozens of cups raining down. Makes it a little more difficult to support them

This is why normal people can't enjoy a cold beer watching the football.

Hope they lose on pens with one of their players getting a laser pointed at them to put them off.

Right decision from the ref for me, he pushed the ball away with his hand so had to give it
