OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: 2024/25 European club season underway

[jape]

a dead rivalry that still brings more viewers than any other match
the two biggest clubs in the world


bruh you’ve been saying these two clubs are dead for like every szn since ronnie left. you’ve been on this for literally years now you’re the only one saying this

 

[Coupé It]

Again, they need each other and the league would crumble if either got sent down. Look how long it took Serie A to recover after they sent Juve down in 2006. Plus, Florentino probably has his own skeletons when it comes to paying off officials and doesn’t want to push the issue.

I’m not faulting them for doing what they’re doing.

But it’s a dead rivalry.

Let’s call it what it is.

One man should not be delegating both clubs. Catalans should be embarrassed. Not Jape of course. He’s some dude from Texas.

But actual Catalans?

This is flat out embarrassing.

 

[jape]

you say you don’t care yet you won’t stop caring
“they should be embarrassed!”

my guy you’re a knicks fan and a 2022 psg fan.

 

[Coupé It]

You guys have to understand where I’m coming from. I really looked up to Barça.

Going against a whole establishment, club, and MONARCHY.

To now having Florentino Perez run your club.

Very nasty.

 

[jape]

and now you look up to qatar

so these are all repressed scorned feelings of disappointment are from your childhood
no wonder why you have more posts about barca than i do.

We’re dedicating a lot of time to a Europa club when it’s Champions League match day

Those Qatari’s took down Barça with one transfer.

Franco and RM couldn’t do that in 115 years.

Made Barça and RM join forces. Might as well out a crown on top of the Barca logo now

Idk the exact details but Sid Lowe disproves some of this stuff

There's a lot more in the book obviously

This is a dope La Liga story.

Athletic Bilbao basically created Atletico Madrid. I didn’t know it was this deep.

They had the same logo for like 10 years.

Class | Atletico Madrid Give Away Red/White Colors to Athletic Bilbao

Atletico Madrid paid tribute to Athletic Bilbao's 125th anniversary today by giving them the red and white colors - Atlético instead wore their orange third kit.

4 & 5 have lots of points but little silverware

 

[Coupé It]

I was just about to say that.

Juve have two CL titles, same as Porto and Benfica.


Pool and Milan with way less points but with way more trophies than their adversaries.

 

[rolaholic]

Lolwut???

Sounds awful and short-sighted...

 

[Armada]

That format is doing way too much

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Too many matches

Trying to pound their players into submission with fatigue

Bruh the MLS season is already starting next week and they're making the season even longer now with these playoff changes. They needed to have been cutting games and made it more competitive. This **** is awful.
