  1. Day 19: Morocco vs Portugal | England vs France (QF 3&4)

    People outraged without knowing the rules as usual. WTF was the defender doing with that tackle though? That was very stupid and lucky
  2. Foreign secretary advice to LGBT fans.... Be respectful

    Did the minister specifically ask LGBTQ fans to be respectful? I can't seem to make that out from the article. If Qatar punishes PDA regardless of if it's homo or heterosexual, why would the foreign secretary not warn all fans but only LGBTQ? Is he just misinformed on the issue like so many...
  3. Nordic Ghost Yeti | Haaland at City

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I was getting at with regards to play style. As he is still very young, I think he is still amenable and will be taught to adapt his game to the way City play. On the other hand, if there's a personality clash with Pep, things could get interesting.
  4. Nordic Ghost Yeti | Haaland at City

    It would be hilarious if he flopped badly, but I think he will be fine. Man City create so many chances even a donkey will score loads upfront, as long as he doesn't disturb the team dynamic and play style so much
  5. Barcelona: Charged with corruption .... again!

    This is what I'm also thinking. Surely they've done the maths and decided that these are the best steps to take? Maybe these deals include some sort of break clauses that can be activated in the future? They must be cognizant of the fact that they're in this situation because of some bone-headed...
  6. The WTF and let's all laugh at 2021/22 thread

    I think this fits here: https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/football/62127436
  7. Can Conte win a title for Spurs?

    He can, but it will take an incredible set of circumstances for that to happen. With Pep and Klopp in the picture, the number of points it takes to win the league requires a crazy amount of consistency that not many flawed teams can manage over the course of a full season. He got 93 points when...
  8. African players playing for European countries

    It is a bit of a simplistic viewpoint. Nationality is based on parentage or place of birth in most places, and it would be very unfair to prevent players from playing for their countries of birth just because they're of African descent. The failure of African countries to win the World cup is...
  9. Transfer Tweets - England & Scotland - 2022/23 | Follow the rules in the OP

    Why would Lukaku's agent feel that way? He makes money whenever his client moves so he must be very happy
  10. Champions League Final: Liverpool v Real Madrid | Hala Madrid!

    Real Madrid are a beast in this competition. Respect where it's due. How they managed to get past Chelsea and City is still beyond me. They looked dead and buried in the second legs of both ties but still somehow found a way. Unreal
  11. Kylian Mbappe | Signs new PSG contract until 2025, La Liga says they intend to file a complaint

    How do they know all these intimate details? Sounds like a bitter, scorned ex Edit: replying to Madrid Zone tweets
  12. The chase for 4th place (not top 4)

    It is easy to go on an unbeaten run in the middle of the season when the pressure is off. That is why I don't pay attention to stats that span different seasons unless you're consistently at the top.
  13. Premier League Gameweek 31+32

    People always forget it has to be two players before you are onside because the goalkeeper is always in goal. The keeper was out, so the person's foot in line with Martinelli makes that only one person, so correct decision in my book
  14. Tammy Abraham - Roma Striker

    I think he is thriving because of Mourinho's counter-attacking style. Most strikers will fare better in such a system than against packed defenses when playing for a more dominant team where the striker needs to be more skillful. That said, Tuchel should probably have given him more chances...
