  1. FIFA end their ban on Russia's U17 boys and girls national football teams

    Personally, I would be ok with this if it meant the athletes participate while not under Russian flag, anthem, or any clothes with any colours from the flag (looked like a joke during olympics, the outfits were clearly designed to look Russian). The athletes should now show any Russian identity...
  2. FA Cup Third Round

    The goal is perfect definition of our season... Everyone past the midfield forgot how to play football this season.
  3. Day 18: Croatia vs Brazil | Netherlands vs Argentina (QF 1&2)

    Supporting Netherlands today because my friend is a big fan, but the main reason is so that i wouldnt hear the phrase "Messi magic" anymore in this tournament. It irrationally triggers me now.
  4. Casemiro | 2022/23 Performances

    Wrong thread, apologies!
  5. Europa League / Europa Conference League 2021/22

    Both teams not used to the heat looks like. Rangers look knackered, as do their fans and they're not even playing. Boring match to watch as a neutral...
  6. Premier League Gameweek 36-37

    Really not surprised they scored the way they did. Every time someone of theirs would do a long pass, it was 3v3 or 4v4 against our defenders.
  7. Should football have its version of DRS Zones or Powerplays?

    Would be a proper strategy Teams would sign heavy weight boxers, then sub them on just for that 1 punch. But when do you sub them on? Early to knock out their top scorer, or late in the game when the other team is closing in on goal? Or would you have a few of your 1st team players start...
  8. Champions League Quarter Finals (5th - 13th Apr)

    Mixed feelings watching Atletico - City... Would love for both to lose. City for being too good, Atletico because they are a crime against football. Hate everything about them. The cheating, the diving, manipulating the ref, Koke's face and his expressions. Unfortunately the ref looks weak...
  9. Champions League Quarter Finals (5th - 13th Apr)

    Wtf happened to us in the 2nd half... Completely different team and will be lucky to win this now. It's like suddenly everyone forgot how to play, ball retention non existent, every challenge is missed.
  10. FA Cup 2021/22 | Quarter Finals (March 19-20)

    Correct decision, blatant dive. Drags his foot over Alisson's arm instead of taking easily taking a step. But lucky for us as well, a lottery if its given or not with some refs.
  11. Premier League Gameweek 28-30

    Doesnt look like a red card... seen yellows given for much worse. He wasnt the last player, and he almost got the ball. Definite yellow. Can see why the ref would give a red when in slow mo. Also seems like the referee felt he was obliged to change it to a red since he already bothered going to...
  12. Champions League Round of 16 (15th Feb - 16th Mar)

    Mbappe is a real life cheat code.
  13. Champions League Round of 16 (15th Feb - 16th Mar)

    PSG look like they want to win more. If i had to, i would put my money on them to progress through. But Madrid is still Madrid! Can go either way, great tie this. Ref is doing a good job so far.
  14. FA Cup 2021/22 | Quarter Finals (March 19-20)

    Shame Luton didnt make it through, the difference in player skill won in the end. Had an amazing start to the game, but I didnt think they would be able to maintain that pace and it showed in the end. Great run in the cup though. Minamino turning out to be a great cup player, hes having a...
  15. Roman Abramovich plans to sell Chelsea | SOLD for £4.25BN

    Decent start, however i will hold off any positive talk of this until its done. I just dont trust someone with so much illicit financial gains to be so 'generous'. Concerning to see "all victims of the war in Ukraine" which can potentially go to Russian soldiers and their families. Very broad...
