Rom wearing Christmas underwear this early?

 

[Verde Shuttles]

I guess

Seent that story... He's actually the minister of sport which is ironic bcs he doesn't look like he does much in the way of sport unless it's competitive eating.

Looks like they're going thru with this anyway. Girona will be hosting so Barça doesn't lose a home match.

 

[flyeed]

Man that’s messed up to do to Girona fans. Take away the spectacle of them hosting Barca in an all-Catalan derby from their supporters. Last season was their first in the top flight too. It’s not like they’ve been a perennial La Liga team that this isn’t a big deal to them and just another season either.

Should have been Valladolid that lost a home match with their trash pitch, looking like a game of wack-a-mole.

Another thing to note is a domestic league isn’t like the nba season where 1/82 games typically won’t make/break a team’s season. It could factor in a team playing in Europ/CL/or winning their league.

****in stupid this is happening

ALL FAX

and if barca have to play in the US then madrid should play one over here too

 

[sonoftony]

Cheapest seat in Girona is 30 Euros. Watch Hard Rock Stadium charge you $150 for that same seat

 

[LA Diggler]

This isn’t as bad as what’s going on in La Liga but it irks me that the FA is letting Spurs play at Wembley and their new ground this season. ******* up the uniformity of the league.

Sucks for Girona - but going to Miami in the dog days of January is gonna HELP Barcelona, believe me, it'll be an extended vacation. January in Miami is top

Villadolid should have all their home games in Miami as far I'm concerned, get it done Ronaldo Lima

Vinicius got included in Real's CL squad





Yikes







So happy for dude after fighting through everything

 

[BtownKj]

Just some Roma Spam for everyone

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Not sure how he even lasted as long as he did. For me, he didn’t show any tactical accumen & relied heavily on the individual talents on the teams he fielded. I guess Osorio was neve in frame for the job since they fired him after Pargauy hired Osorio.

I would love Peckerman in the USMNT but unfortunately, the USSF wants a American coach that's achieved Fu*kall

Umbro really need to retro some or their classic kits sometime

 

[PRIME]

VDW always been a stylish dude

Kudos to him for pulling out the vintage heat

This tough

Man U & Arsenal had the kit game on lock for a while

 

[jape]

Umbro

 

[Armada]

I’d rather Umbro muster up all the money they can and do a kit deal with City again than us going to Puma like it’s rumored. I’d take Umbro back with open arms

Labour Day weekend was eventful. I skipped ahead here. hopefully it was just bants and not bans in here.

-It has been shown that Should Manuel Pellegrini get fired from West Ham before his time he will get £15 million as West Ham failed to insert a termination clause in his contract. all this can be changed if both parties agree a severance package

-In 2014/2015, Leicester placed 14th in Premier League, with 41 points and a record of 11-8-19. The following year they won the League. Last year, Watford placed 14th with 41 points and a record of 11-8-19. #Destinyrepeatsitself

What y’all think? Personally don’t think
Anyone will actually miss the away goals rule if they axe it. I don’t think the arguments for it aren’t that strong anymore.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

The amount of football players make relative to their star will never make sense to me

A player equivalent to Icardi in the NBA, MLB, or NFL would make 2-3x that

 

[Verde Shuttles]

I don't mind the away goals rule, but they should definitely do away with it in extra time
