  1. Bruno - Capitão

    It's in the Premier League Handbook. M.11.The captain of each team appearing in a League Match shall wear an armband provided by the League indicating his status as such. M.12.Any Club acting in breach of any of Rules M.1 to M.11 inclusive will be liable to pay to the League a fixed penalty of...
  2. Roberto Mancini appreciation thread

    Probably won't qualify for the World Cup, with the team that won the Euro Cup, so he'll be free in the summer. I'm sure he'll be able to motivate our team just like he motivates the Italian national team.
  3. Refs & VAR 2020/2021 Discussion

    Shaw, in post match, said the ref didn't give the pen because it would create an uproar. Not very logical thinking from the ref there...
  4. Relative age effect (long article)

    I am August too. I played up with my classmates until I was 12 (soccer and school had different cutoffs. August vs. September). Then I played a level below once I turned 12 since I was able to. I was far superior in that age group than I was in the one above though I did not struggle too much...
  5. Ridiculous Goalkeeping performances in a single game

    He was amazing that game. I believe it was a record of straight saves in a game as well.
  6. Marc Jurado | leaves on a permanent deal

    I’m not sure why we should change to City or Chelsea’s model. We produce more players for the upper leagues than anyone else. That alone should lend to the thought that we are doing a better job than most if not everyone else in the Premier League. However, there are arguments that we do not get...
  7. NBC premier league commentary

    HAHA! I saw that. My wife walked in right as the own goal went in and was wondering why I was pissed since the screen read 3-0.

  9. Where will football end up? Transfers, poaching, money!

    You could do, for instance, the bottom team from the home country gets relegated. For instance, if United and City were in the league and United finished above City then City go to the EPL and the top EPL team goes to the Super League. There could be other stipulations such as if United and City...
  10. Referees and Mourinho

    I agree that the proximity of the player probably played a part in sending Mourinho to the stands. I think most managers and players get close to the line in situations like this to intimidate the opposing players. Not saying it is right or wrong but it's common. Most don't step over the line...
  11. Totti to retire at the end of the season

    De Rossi, Buffon, Barzagli from their 2006 World Cup team
  12. Jesse Lingard | 2016/17 Performances

    Nothing to disagree with. If the "better" players would actually play better then they would get the games. Jose sees something in him that he likes even if it's just his energy and movement to create space for these "better" players that should be in ahead of him (according to some). Whether...
  13. Jesse Lingard | 2016/17 Performances

    At about the same age, 2007/2008 season, Darren Fletcher was often talked about as a big game player. He was often made fun of here on the Caf as SAF's son and it was said that that was the only reason he was in the team. Personally I see Lingard's trajectory along the same lines as Fletcher...
  14. Anderson Talisca

    I was gonna post something similar Skills. It seems it may be a bit more nuanced than that though. I didn't read the whole article but it looks like their are tiers and points applied. http://www.danielgeey.com/the-foreigner-debate-the-fas-new-work-permit-regulations-explained/
  15. Zlatan Ibrahimović | 2016/17 Performances

    The first one is not exactly the same but close. I can now embed due to @Invictus . Thanks :)
