this sucks

[thorn hornet]

Goal

[solid dagger]

He should've taken the pen instead of Vini

[thorn hornet]

Mbappe

[solid dagger]

Oblak panenka to win it after 21 penalty kicks incoming

[sweet tree]

mbappe is an elite pen taker

[dense blade]

Ez

[solid dagger]

Absolute cinema

Nice pen from Sorloth

[thorn hornet]

Goal

[noble fractal]

1-1

[thorn hornet]

Courtois De Gea moment

[solid dagger]

Are there any Real/Atletico fans in chat rn?

[noble fractal]

who the hell is suppsed to shot after bellingham

bobby charlton?

[solid dagger]

Rudiger will shoot one I think

[dense blade]

Cama, tchou and Valverde

Rudi maybe yea

[solid dagger]

What a pen

Álvarez is so good man

He slipped as well

[dense blade]

Pep selling him still makes no sense

[solid dagger]

He didn't have enough space to play and 95M is a lot of money

Worth it so far tho

[dense blade]

He didn't even wanna leave

He just wanted gametime he deserved

[ripe yacht]

I thought he did

[dense blade]

Unlike Rodrygo

Whose happy being insulted

[solid dagger]

Álvarez touched the ball twice?

nvm they checked it but he didn't

[noble fractal]

they checked and var said no

[solid dagger]

Oblak was close

[thorn hornet]

Valverde

[solid dagger]

I have a feeling the 5th taker will miss it for either team

[solid dagger]

Oh yeah they didn't count it

Real Madrid is ahead

[dense blade]

Alvarez pen ruled out????

what

[thorn hornet]

WHAT

[solid dagger]

Yeah he touched it twice

[solid dagger]

Damn Courtois almost got it

[dense blade]

Man Madrid's luck is unreal

[solid dagger]

Álvarez was so unlucky

[noble fractal]

wtf my commentator said it counted

[graceful reef]

WTF BRO

[ripe yacht]

Wtf he didn't even touch it lol

[dim ledge]

Rigging

[solid dagger]

OBLAK

[dim ledge]

Absolute fucking rigging lol

[thorn hornet]

OH

lucky for atletico

[hollow wind]

Fucking finally

[sweet tree]

fucking justice

[thorn hornet]

Vasquez

[sweet tree]

thank you oblak

[dense blade]

Thank you!

[solid dagger]

It's not much rigging, it's an objective thing whether he touched it twice or not to be fair

COURTOIS

[noble fractal]

oh nah

[fluid moat]

Wait what the fuck Alvaraz missed

[thorn hornet]

Ah

[graceful reef]

[fluid moat]

I swear I thought he scored

[dense blade]

Yea gg

[solid dagger]

He didn't but he slipped and he touched the ball twice

[hasty basin]

this is actually disgusting

[thorn hornet]

Ah fuck

[hasty basin]

You're so lucky...

[sweet tree]

they really should've made Alavrez retake

If I were an Atletico fan I'd be depressed by now

[smoky fable]

Real Madrid through

[noble fractal]

bc its srsenal

[smoky fable]

Was that a double touch by Alvarez

I couldn’t tell

[sweet tree]

yes

that's what they called

[dense blade]

https://tenor.com/view/look-at-him-efe-omowale-assisted-living-he-look-so-funny-haha-gif-24147865

[sweet tree]

but when does that ever get called?

like I've seen that get called before

[noble fractal]

he slipped and his left foot touched the ball ig

[smoky fable]

I must be blind cause I saw him slip but not the double touch

[fluid moat]

I have no audio so I went like a good 3 penalties thinking Alvarez scored LOL

[sweet tree]

I'd guess retakes don't happen

[rapid yoke]

they've never beat us

[sweet tree]

it's probably the right call

[rapid yoke]

we own real madrid

[hasty basin]

The luck man I can't

[smoky fable]

Probably was

[sweet tree]

but man I never see such a penalty get revoked lol

[smoky fable]

Oblak did make a nice save on Vasquez

Llorente man hitting the top crossbar

[fluid moat]

I genuinely never remember seeing that happen before

Or even that rule existing

[sweet tree]

it exist

[shrewd moss]

alvarez double taps???

[sweet tree]

2 touches are illegal

[noble fractal]

never underestimate arsenal's talent to loose an ucl

[marsh olive]

Real have some contract with the devil that they cannot lose in a penalty shootout vs Atleti

[sweet tree]

but yeah it NEVER gets called

[rapid yoke]

he didnt touch it twice

[solid dagger]

Penalties are already too advantageous for whoever kicks it, if they touch it twice it makes sense to not make them shoot it again

[rapid yoke]

do you not see the space between his foot and the ball?

[solid dagger]

He touched it with his left foot after shooting it with the right

[hasty basin]

Why did 2 atleti players slip dawg

[rapid yoke]

you guys need glasses he clearly doesnt touch it

[ripe yacht]

That's such a close call, why would they even try doing that smh

[noble fractal]

doesn't look like atouch to me

[marsh olive]

even Oblak did

[celest zephyr]

Wait

[solid dagger]

You can complain about the rule but you can't complain about a fact, it would be like complaining about offside with VAR

[hasty basin]

He shoots it to his left doesn't he?

[celest zephyr]

Why didnt Alvarez retake his pen

Im so lost

[smoky fable]

It just wasn’t very noticeable to me through all the angles

But it is what it is

[rapid yoke]

because it was a legal penalty?

[hasty basin]

I think only the opponents cheating is when pens are retaken

[noble fractal]

u can't ig

[frail berry]

Because it’s Real Madrid they get every controversial call in the cl

[solid dagger]

He slipped and touched the ball with his left foot after shooting it with the right one

[hasty basin]

Like a keeper off the line

[celest zephyr]

Omds

[hasty basin]

It's illegal in game too tbf

Free kick to other team

[fluid moat]

That’s the Real Madrid voodoo for you

[solid dagger]

Yeah in that case they let the kicker retake it

[rapid yoke]

he touched it once lmao

[sweet tree]

what an ugly way to lose tbh

[hasty basin]

Unless he scores yeah

Oblak should've saved that last one lol

[sweet tree]

not that atletico were deserving of it, they didn't really go out to play

[smoky fable]

They did drag it to pens

[sweet tree]

yeah they never played to win lol

[smoky fable]

Terrorist ball just didn’t win

[graceful reef]

I think Julian's goal was unfairly disallowed

[burnt cedar]

Is there a better replay of the Alvarez pen

Couldn’t tell what was going on

[graceful reef]

[sweet tree]

2 touch ajay

[sweet tree]

apparently his left leg touches the ball

[solid dagger]

I still have Dudek in 2005 in my mind, or the Sevilla keeper in the 2014 UEL final vs Benfica lmfao

[smoky fable]

Yeah that photo makes sense

[solid dagger]

They stepped like half a meter off the line

[smoky fable]

Can see it graze

[sweet tree]

I've never seen such luck tbh

[dense blade]

https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/uoJ5foVYhI

[graceful reef]

he touched it but the ball didn't go where it should, I thought it was unfair

[burnt cedar]

I’m surprised he didn’t retake it

[smoky fable]

When did they institute the rule of goalkeepers staying on the line during pens

[sweet tree]

im suprised too

[smoky fable]

I thought it was a recent change

[sweet tree]

I think a retake would've been fair

[solid dagger]

He didn't, you can't object a fact if they checked it with VAR

[hasty basin]

Nah it's a foul in game too guys chill

[noble fractal]

no such thing its the devil

[solid dagger]

It's always been a thing but they never really enforced it until relatively recently

[smoky fable]

Or was it just not actively enforced

Ah that’s the answer to my question

[smoky fable]

Yeah that makes sense

[hasty basin]

Yeah its easier to monitor

[burnt cedar]

Keepers should just stand miles in the goal then jump out

[hasty basin]

With VAR right

[burnt cedar]

To the line

[dense blade]

He did touch it twice tbf

[hasty basin]

Bro that's so awful

[solid dagger]

As long as they have at least one foot on the line when the penalty taker touches the ball it's fine

[solid dagger]

Yeah like, you can complain about the rule but he objectively did touch it twice

[burnt cedar]

Arsenal vs Madrid they’ve never beaten us in our 139 years of existence

[graceful reef]

Anyway, Hala Madrid

[dense blade]

Courtois wasn't even going in the right direction for that Alvarez pen

It wouldn't have mattered if he didn't slip

So unlucky

[fluid moat]

I fucking knew Real would win in some sort of black magic way

[solid dagger]

Only one UCL final appearance and they lost

It's respectable ngl, they've been humbled so many times and still talk shit

I even like Arsenal but some fans get on my nerves

[fluid moat]

That’s actually insane

It's so funny and sad at the same time like you can't make this up lol

Winning by a player slipping and hitting it twice

Who else can win like that

It’s the loudest part of our fan base

"Revenge"

or maybe bayern

[hasty basin]

We can't say dunno anymore dawh

[smoky fable]

Yeah Munich

[hasty basin]

They literally have the devil

On their team in the finals

Dortmund would 100% fuck up again

Ffs not a fan when it’s there

[noble fractal]

Idk about inter

[hasty basin]

Last time they lost was like 81

[smoky fable]

Why is that

[hasty basin]

They don't lose ucl finals

Only Sir Alex had the guts to break the deadlock

I don't see madrid beating psg ngl, no way that boring satanic club can pull that off

You don’t gotta worry cause Arsenal with a front three of sterling merino and the 17 year old gonna beat Madrid

[graceful reef]

bayern x inter

[burnt cedar]

That made Alvarez slip

[shrewd moss]

Courtois

[frail berry]

🙏

[hasty basin]

I'd prefer Courtois

[dense blade]

makes sense

[neat radish]

Yo don’t diss the goat merino

He might be slower than me mentally

[hasty basin]

I switched out Zinchenko for Ben white last second

[frail berry]

And physically

[neat radish]

But his spinning makes something churn inside of me

[hasty basin]

Hate it here

I was like nahh I can't be a terrorist

Arsenal is next on the hit list

[hasty basin]

Psg Rma would go hard

But I feel like Courtois would actually drop like

[hasty basin]

The best game of all time by any player

[solid dagger]

Leave some for the rest of us

[hasty basin]

Their fans are fed for centuries man

[solid dagger]

I mean not us as in Juve because we suck but still

[hasty basin]

Yeah leave it for Bournemouth

[solid dagger]

He might've crept up in my top 10 gk ever list ngl

He's that good

[noble fractal]

the devil

[hasty basin]

He's been the best gk in the world (for me anyway)

[solid dagger]

He has arguably the greatest performance ever from a gk

[hasty basin]

For a considerable amount of time

Not crazy to say

[solid dagger]

And he's been so consistent

He's been world class for 10 years now

[hasty basin]

Yeah

[noble fractal]

Arsenal fans seem to actually think they can defeat Real

[solid dagger]

They have a chance on paper

[noble fractal]

I'll root for them

[solid dagger]

But I think it's a 60/40 for Madrid rn

Maybe 65/35

[shrewd moss]

alvarez and llorente

[dense blade]

In reality they have a better chance on pitch than paper imo

[noble fractal]

how long are havertz and saka out

[dense blade]

On paper they will lose like 9/10 times

[solid dagger]

Without a striker and Saka still not fully recovered? eh

It's gonna be really hard

[hasty basin]

Bro I'd rather Arsenal win tenfold

I don't care man

[solid dagger]

I want to see Real vs PSG in the semis

[noble fractal]

the game is still 3 weeks away

[dense blade]

Yeah that's why it's shit on paper

[solid dagger]

So I'm gonna root for Real Madrid

Sorry Arsenal fans

[dense blade]

It looks better when they actually play

[hasty basin]

I don't even hate Madrid but it's so boring

[dense blade]

Madrid is a monster team on paper

[solid dagger]

When is he coming back?

[hasty basin]

Like wow congrats you won your 10th Modric

[dense blade]

They don't play cohesive enough tho

[noble fractal]

idk that's what I have been asking but noone awnsered me 😭

At this point it's just another game for Modric lmaooo

Yipeee another one!!

[nimble onyx]

Only time you’ll see me rooting for arsenal

[noble fractal]

if madrid and dortmund make it into the finals again I will not be watching

[hasty basin]

I wonder if he even feels anything different in ucl finals lol

[solid dagger]

They're keeping it a surprise

[hasty basin]

Bro dortmund can't make it there's no way

[solid dagger]

I doubt Dortmund can make it past Barcelona

[nimble onyx]

If Real Madrid win this shit again I’m not sure watching champions league for a longggggg time

[solid dagger]

And if they do I doubt they can make it past Inter/Bayern

[dense blade]

oh you will

it happens like every other year atp

[noble fractal]

we were saying that about psg but one stupid red by barca and they lost

[solid dagger]

I'm just gonna say I still hate this new formula

[nimble onyx]

Maybe a game or two

[solid dagger]

psg had a sneaky good team last season to be fair

[hasty basin]

That could be a way they win

[nimble onyx]

Like change the script up ffs

[noble fractal]

which lost to dortmund

[hasty basin]

A barca red

[solid dagger]

Lewandowski hat trick at the signal iduna park

[hasty basin]

Dortmund has like weak black magic

[nimble onyx]

How many times did they hit the post that game

[solid dagger]

You got me there lol

[noble fractal]

well yeah luck also plays a factor, whoch is why dortmund got a chance as much as I hate to admit it

[nimble onyx]

Only works in the UCL I suppose

[hasty basin]

Is it crazy that I think 10 man barca ain't even that much worse than normal bvb

[solid dagger]

But like let's be real that Dortmund team wasn't even better than the teams that made the UEL final that season

imo

And they're 10th in the league this season

[noble fractal]

You underestimate dortmund's clownery, they can easily make it into the semis despite being 10th in the league

they weren't that bad last season sure, but they still lost easy games a lot

[solid dagger]

I could be underrating them yeah

[noble fractal]

if it wasn't for the fact that Germany got an extra spot for Championsleague they wouldn't have made it

[solid dagger]

But I just don't see it

[noble fractal]

im not saying they'll beat them

their chances of making it past barca are low

just not zero

[frail berry]

Also not a lot of people gonna talk about vini the same way they did Salah

🤧

[sweet tree]

he was horrific

[proud coyote]

be the change you want to see

spam every channel with vini hate

[solid dagger]

Oh yeah I'm not saying they have no chance at all

But Barça are the heavy favorites to go through

Kyle Bonn (@the_bonnfire) on X

Incredible insight from @ChristinaUnkel on @CBSSportsGolazo on that Alvarez double-hit.

She says that because the semi-automated VAR tech has an impact sensor in the ball, the tech can sense every touch, therefore determining that Alvarez would have contacted the ball twice.

X · Mar 12, 2025, 10:53 PM

@solid dagger

To confirm your point

If this wasn’t mentioned earlier

[sweet tree]

actually that does make sense

[solid dagger]

Like come on, you cannot say he didn't touch it twice

[sweet tree]

i guess that's why the ref was called

[smoky fable]

I couldn’t see it, but if the sensor went off for two, I won’t argue

[noble fractal]

that sucks

it is what it is ig

[sweet tree]

semi-automated offside is crazy technology

[noble fractal]

surely arsenal will get rid of these pests

[solid dagger]

VAR is almost never wrong, it's just being used wrong some times

Go look at the Candreva offside in Juve-Salernitana tho, that's the worst VAR error since they introduced it imo

[noble fractal]

yeah var is usually wrong when the refs want it to be wrong

[solid dagger]

And I'm not saying it because I'm root for Juve

People calling for VAR to be removed should call for better refs

[sweet tree]

it was the right call but I'm a bit bitter

[solid dagger]

It would be like calling for seatbelts to be removed because people who don't wear them get injured if they get into a car crash

[sweet tree]

a retake would've been fine but yeah I guess once you 2 touch it, it's over.

[nimble onyx]

Real Madrid really own Atleti man

@the_bonnfire @CBSSportsGolazo Hey no chip in ball! Sorry if that was misunderstood. The cameras can track point of contact. No chip in ball like World Cup or euros

X · Mar 12, 2025, 11:12 PM

[solid dagger]

I think it's fine if they don't let you retake it, penalties are very advantageous for the kicker already

[smoky fable]

To be more accurate

[solid dagger]

If you make an error while shooting it you shouldn't be allowed to take it again

[nimble onyx]

Has Atleti ever won a European game against Madrid?

Genuinely curious

[solid dagger]

I think they win a European supercup once

[noble fractal]

so the sensor thing was a lie?

[sweet tree]

they won today go d...

just lost the tie

💀

[noble fractal]

sigh

[dense blade]

This is a better angle https://www.rxddit.com/r/soccer/s/yWAfHFNFJ4

[sweet tree]

yeah its the right call unfortunately

[nimble onyx]

Oh right

[noble fractal]

this certainly looks better

[sweet tree]

a lot of players were slipping in the game

pitch mightve been really wet

even Mendy almost made a mistake

he slipped earlier in the game

[dense blade]

yeah mendy slipped in the first half too

[solid dagger]

I just checked and Atletico won the second leg in the 2016/17 UCL semis

They lost on aggregate tho

They lost 3-0 the first leg and won 2-1 the second leg

From 13/14 to 16/17 Real and Atletico met every year and Real always won the tie damn 😭

2 of those encounters were UCL finals as well

[dense blade]

they lost those finals dramatically too

[smoky fable]

Courtois was on the other side as well

For one at least

[solid dagger]

They can't catch a break

[dense blade]

One on pens and the other because of Ramos's late equaliser

Like I said

Give Simeone a hug

[smoky fable]

I just realized your team Juventus hasn’t won the champions league since 1996. So many finals but fell short.

[solid dagger]

You want to know something else?

We went to 3 straight finals in the 90s and only won it once

One final we lost to a clear offside goal from a Real Madrid player

We're also the club with the most final losses at 7

And now I'll stop before I cry

[sweet tree]

2-7 in finals

[dense blade]

[sweet tree]

maybe Juve will reach the finals within this decade

[solid dagger]

It doesn't look like we will anytime soon lol

[sweet tree]

[solid dagger]

Apparently Motta is likely to be sacked in the summer

[sweet tree]

ye I read about that

[solid dagger]

I wonder who we're gonna replace him with if that happens

Oh well

Through thick and thin they said, I still have it better than a ton of football fans so I really can't complain

Anyway my predictions for the top 8 are PSG, Real Madrid, Inter and Barça go through

What about you guys

[smoky fable]

I was wondering if you saw a UCL win in your lifetime. I know you’ve had the league and other European trophies with Juve.

[smoky fable]

Jesus

[solid dagger]

I've been following Juve since the start of the 11/12 season so I only saw the losses

[smoky fable]

Oh my god

[solid dagger]

My dad is a lucky one, he witnessed two UCLs wins, two world cups and a Euros win

[smoky fable]

It can’t be Allegri for the third time, can it……..

[solid dagger]

Even tho he's my favorite manager ever, absolutely no way we go for him AGAIN

[sweet tree]

same as you tbh

[smoky fable]

I guess I’m the outlier and a Bayern fan. Only difference in picks from you two. @solid dagger

Although that’s my least confident pick

[solid dagger]

I think that's the closest tie

[sweet tree]

I think Inter can shut them down tbh, defensively they look like the most solid at the back form what I've seen

[solid dagger]

Either one of them can go through

[hasty basin]

Omfg I just realized how peak Psg vs Rma would be for me

Kvara always wanted to be in rma

[solid dagger]

Kvara masterclass at the Bernabéu

[hasty basin]

But they were too star studded to get him

[solid dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-12869046600151364058

[hasty basin]

Man that would actually make my whole year

[marsh olive]

UCL Quarters 🙏

[short flame]

Bayern instead

[marsh olive]

competition gets proper interesting now imo

[smoky fable]

Did Perez ever have someone write to him

Or have contact with him

[marsh olive]

who do yall have going thru in each round

[short flame]

Juve fan voting for inter. Interesting

[solid dagger]

PSG, Real Madrid, Inter and Barça imo

[solid dagger]

I hate them but I think they're gonna go through

I still hope Bayern smashes them 10-0 and 0-10

[short flame]

Have faith

[solid dagger]

Today I feel Bavarian

[short flame]

Same for me and Real

I don’t see Arsenal making it

Bayern is the only contender left I can kind of support

[hasty basin]

No lol doubt they even look at him

His favorite player as a kid was Guti

[solid dagger]

As I said I'll support PSG

[hasty basin]

And he supported real madrid

[solid dagger]

I like the team and Luis Enrique is a great manager

[short flame]

You know what my cousin is ecuadorian

[dim ledge]

I rate Enrique

[short flame]

I’ll support psg for pacho

[sweet tree]

it's really weird seeing Villa in the quarter finals tbh

but big respect to them

[dim ledge]

Emery man

[sweet tree]

he was crazy good in the liverpool game man

[hasty basin]

Enrique plays beautiful footy

Pacho is a great tackler

The PSG team is built well

[marsh olive]

Honestly agree but I have Bayern going thru for now

Inter defo could win tho solid team

[hasty basin]

What would be the biggest upset

Villa right

[solid dagger]

Kinda crazy how this team is low-key better than the Messi/Mbappe/Neymar one

[marsh olive]

Villa tbh

[solid dagger]

This is more well rounded

[dim ledge]

I think Kane is too used to playing against Inters style of defense from the prem and will probably run them down

[solid dagger]

And Luis Enrique is a better manager than Pochettino

[solid dagger]

Yeah

[hasty basin]

Nah half the time Inzaghi doesn't even know who's in defense

[marsh olive]

the fact that we could've got Villa next round still hurts badly

[hasty basin]

[sweet tree]

2 of those didn't really defend or help track back, they invited pressure for their opponents. If you look at the current PSG team they look a lot more compact and dawgs

[hasty basin]

They switch positions so fast

In play anyway

Out of possession is a different story

Get Bastoni to manmark Kane

[solid dagger]

I wouldn't say that, when Inter met City in the UCL (the league phase this season and the 2023 final) they basically shut them down and were the better team in my opinion

[marsh olive]

sick pfp btw

[solid dagger]

They play such a unique style of football, very oppressive

[marsh olive]

Inter not winning that UCL final was actually a disaster

[solid dagger]

Luckily Rodri came to the rescue

[solid dagger]

Happiest day of the year for me

[dim ledge]

Kane is better than Haaland

[hasty basin]

Inter winning would be nice for me

[dim ledge]

Far more self sufficient

[solid dagger]

He is but that City team was a better team than this Bayern team imo

[short flame]

2? All 3 of them

[hasty basin]

He is yeah but I rate Inzaghi much more than Kompany

[solid dagger]

We'll see, it's definitely the closest tie and anyone can win

[sweet tree]

Neymar does defensive work surprisingly

[marsh olive]

icl feel like one of the only Liverpool fans I know who would've rathered win UCL over Prem this season at least

[sweet tree]

out of the 3 he did the most really

[hasty basin]

Think I'd be more scared of the amount of ways Bayern can attack lmao

[short flame]

That season they were together he wasn’t. At least not enough to compensate

[sweet tree]

but yeah he was never available for those games either way

[hasty basin]

Olise Musiala and Kane are all up there

Then you got Davies charging down

[solid dagger]

And Dembele is balling this season

[hasty basin]

Their defence is so iffy though idk

[solid dagger]

Finally he's playing like a world class winger

[dim ledge]

I think most knew we couldn't do both without some reinforcements-which we didn't get-and the Prem is more of a sure thing atp, and it would be worse to let that slip for a chance

[marsh olive]

can't blame you, honestly City winning a UCL before Arsenal is pretty funny

[dim ledge]

And again with this league we're T-the most

With WAY more UCLs

[hasty basin]

That's fair

I always prefer ucl over anything

Well ok world cup euros

[dim ledge]

And again for me I genuinely don't like the competition as much anymore with this format

It feels hollow

[solid dagger]

People clowned City for having no history but now they have a good looking trophy cabinet ngl

[dim ledge]

People clown city because they're an oil club

[solid dagger]

Not many teams can say they have one as good as theirs

[dim ledge]

Those trophies mean very little

[solid dagger]

I still rate them personally, they are an oil club but there are also clubs that have spent billions and haven't won anything close to what City did

ahem United

[hasty basin]

Idk lol

[marsh olive]

nah I get that and I don't rlly blame any Liverpool fans for thinking that way it's legit just for me the UCL is the biggest trophy by a lot, even with the circumstances I'd still rather win it tbh

[hasty basin]

For me it's more of incompetence than city being masterminds

[marsh olive]

but I'll 100% take the season we had

first season with Slot and already tied for most prems in England

[hasty basin]

Like if you're spending 200m in a tw you should be great

[solid dagger]

They really threw money around at first

iirc they spent like 40M for Mangala 10 years ago or something like that

[hasty basin]

If la Liga doesn't do something with tebas idk man

[solid dagger]

How are Barça finances now?

[hasty basin]

Like how can prem not just keep getting farther and farther from other leagues

If you're not allowing your clubs to spend

[solid dagger]

Genuine question, I haven't been following the news about it for a while

[hasty basin]

Academy is cool and all but it's just not sufficient

[solid dagger]

That's a good system to have, the thing is that everyone should have it

[hasty basin]

No idea tbh

[solid dagger]

ffp technically does that but we all know it doesn't

[hasty basin]

I feel as if it's too strict lol

[solid dagger]

Since you can sell your own hotels to yourself and apparently it's good

[hasty basin]

I swear if you want to expand your stad you'd have to skip like 8 tws lmao

[solid dagger]

The whole Olmo saga is so weird

[hasty basin]

Prem is overindulging and la Liga is too strict

Serie a is half broke

[sweet tree]

we're still a top 5 club in terms of revenue and we've lowered the clubs wage bill by a lot, I'd like to think the club is doing better. Though I don't think we will ever go on a spending spree again like under bartomeu

[hasty basin]

We're cooked

Bundesliga has 50+1

On Bayern

[solid dagger]

20th place in the prem gets more money than the Serie A winner btw

[hasty basin]

They'll be good to go for a whileeeee

They've made so much profit lmao

[hasty basin]

Yup

[solid dagger]

Those years were a disaster for you lmao

[hasty basin]

Then people wonder how our bench player is playing for a title contender

[solid dagger]

Griezmann, Coutinho and Dembele

[hasty basin]

Goofy spending

There was some profit on Roque

Idk how much, no idea how long barca signed him for

[solid dagger]

Technically Billing is a bench player at Napoli as well but I get what you mean

[hasty basin]

I do think he's good

[sweet tree]

not like we lost much tho

[solid dagger]

McTominay really surprised me

[hasty basin]

Idk maybe Iraola just doesn't like him

[sweet tree]

just a 5m loss on that transfer

[hasty basin]

He didn't even play lol

Not even on the bench

Idk what was up

[sweet tree]

You know what's funny

xavi didn't even want him

[hasty basin]

There is profit overall

[sweet tree]

Deco just signed him cause he saw Madrid making signings in Brazil

[hasty basin]

Because I think it's split into the amount of seasons he's at your club

[solid dagger]

Barcelona are set for the next 15/20 years on the right wing anyway they won't need any reinforcement in that area

[hasty basin]

2 or 1 was he at barca

[sweet tree]

he wanted the next Brazilian breakout player i guess

[solid dagger]

Didn't you also buy Malcom for a ton of money some years ago?

[hasty basin]

And if we say he had like a 3 year contract 1/3 of the price gets cut off so roughly 5m profit

[solid dagger]

I wonder where he is now, is he still at Zenit?

[hasty basin]

Malcom still looks good

He's in saudi

[sweet tree]

ye, Roma were also interested in him and we hijacked the deal

[solid dagger]

I remember that

[sweet tree]

we bought a bunch of fowards that didn't pan out

[hasty basin]

Madrid buy players just in case they're good lmao

They don't even care about playing them

[solid dagger]

To be fair you had just sold Neymar for 200M+ so clubs milked you for more money

[hasty basin]

They just don't want other clubs getting talent

I'm 100% sure that's why they were interested in Huijsen

They wouldn't play him he'd be a constant backup

[solid dagger]

Endrick should go out on loan ngl

[hasty basin]

Idk if they can afford to send players on loan lol

They don't trust their fabrica

Ancelotti would rather play Tchouameni cb

[solid dagger]

And it would work too

[smoky fable]

There a reason why he’s still around? Is he solid outside of that

[sweet tree]

he made the Dani Olmo signing so I'd say that was a good transfer for us

sometimes sporting directors can get it wrong

wouldn't say deco has been great either, just okay.

[solid dagger]

He was awesome for Spain in the euros

[sweet tree]

ye, he has really nice technique and can bang a couple of goals.

has some injury issues but I don't think it'll be a big problem

[smoky fable]

He filled in well for Pedri too after he got hacked by Kroos and the Germans

[solid dagger]

Kroos and the Germans sounds like a 70s rock band name

[amber grove]

Manfred a dummy he don't know what he doing

He just cancelled that ESPN deal with no alternative

[dim kettle]

We've been hearing MLB owners are pressuring Stu to sell. It's inevitable.

John Fisher gets shit on but he has a long-term plan. With Stu, you simply don't know. St Pete? Tampa? Nashville? Canada? Nobody including MLB knows.

Hopefully Nashville

And Fisher deserves everything he gets

I think it was a problem with the time the games were being played there were like 3 PM games on a weekday, going over that bridge which takes 40 minutes to get from Tampa to St. Pete on a good day. But it was confusing why many didn't show up. Just a failure to build a brand over there because ownership doesn't ever want to invest in the area.

[rustic ore]

I hope they trade Watt but we know they won’t

[dim kettle]

The problem is Nashville is also in a situation with the White Sox and expansion. MLB probably really wants the Rays to stay in the Tampa/Central Florida area.

[desert palm]

Saint Pete and Pinellas County called the Bluff!!!!

This gives even more leverage for the MLB to force Stu to sell

Manfred could just force onto him no revenue sharing

[dim kettle]

Exactly. It's only inevitable now. Which makes me wonder if Stu called it off because the next owner probably doesn't want to be grandfathered into this deal.

Hey @rustic ore ypu around?

[rustic ore]

Wassup?

[rustic mountain]

I'll dm ya

[solid dagger]

He isn't that bad but I'd rather keep Motta than hire him, if we can't get a better manager than Motta it doesn't make sense to fire him

[smoky fable]

For the serie a being broke compared to other leagues, they are quick to sack managers

I never understood it

[celest zephyr]

Already??

[rustic ore]

I hate that I’m being forced to side with Manfred here, it’s like joining the Devil to side against a dictator

[noble fractal]

hummels gets a red 10 minutes in

they gotta send his ass back to dortmund

[sweet tree]

that's hilarious, athletic club had a red in the first leg now roma gets one

[dim kettle]

How to say we're gonna force a sale without saying we're gonna force a sale.

Same, we had a choice between Conte and Motta in the summer and we picked Motta. You can't expect him to win everything and you have to give him time

But it's also unacceptable to be out of everything in March

Also Motta's choices have been pretty questionable this season

[solid dagger]

We got kicked out of the UCL by PSV, kicked out of the Coppa Italia by Empoli and we're not gonna win the league

We just suffered the worst home defeat in 50+ years

He keeps changing formations, players are all over the pitch and apparently he can't keep the team under control

[smoky fable]

[solid dagger]

An experienced player like Hummels should've known better

[solid dagger]

He has to be taking the piss

[simple seal]

Watching the 1966 World Cup final (recently colorized). Not a single empty seat at old Wembley as expected lol

[solid dagger]

A 25 year old superstar who just brought your team to the finals on one leg isn't gonna help you improve for the future??

[sweet tree]

[simple seal]

The US commentator said Nico and Iñaki are not related because one is from Spain and the other is from Ghana

😭

We all are.

[dense blade]

they will face us in semis if we both win our rounds

[dense blade]

Uefa actually released a statement for that Alvarez pen

https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0297-1d449595df1f-e4e8a42fabeb-1000--uefa-statement-on-var-decision-at-atletico-de-madrid-vs-re/

[dim ledge]

Lmao

[dense blade]

I think I had heard of this rule double touch before. Maybe because it was in my unconscious mind but also could be because there's a very similar rule like this in cricket too.
You can't touch the ball twice with you bat

[dim ledge]

So why not allow the retake is the question

I mean we all know why

[dense blade]

it's actually a very good statement with a video

[dense blade]

It was in the rule

You can't just change it at that moment

They will now because it has become such a big deal

[simple seal]

Oh this match has been a banger

Super hot crowd ofc lmao

[dense blade]

And btw the consequence is actually very serious if you even unintentionally touch the ball twice. It is a straight out

[celest zephyr]

I lowkey miss him

Football twitter was never the same after he left 💔

[dense blade]

damn did he actually leave the platform for forever?

[amber grove]

Come Sociedad save Europa

[celest zephyr]

Yes

[amber grove]

He said he will never come back

[dense blade]

https://youtu.be/4wDCM4wYGXw?si=vmQKU7JRR-XpEt0s

wow, always knew he was a good guy

[celest zephyr]

The screenshot goat is gone forever 💔💔💔

[dense blade]

never indulged in that stake bullshit either iirc

[amber grove]

Replaced by Stake ads 😭

[celest zephyr]

So painful ☹️

[amber grove]

I don't know how that Stake ad thing is even profitable for Stake

[celest zephyr]

Who doxxed him WHEN I FIND YOU

[sweet tree]

there's thescreenlad now

[celest zephyr]

Dont hit the same unfortunately

[sweet tree]

it could just be him under a different name

potential pk for sociedad

[ripe yacht]

Oi fuck off man

[celest zephyr]

No way

[ripe yacht]

How's that a pen

[sweet tree]

that kinda looks like oyarzabal fouls de ligt

[ripe yacht]

Such a soft ass pen

[celest zephyr]

Was it given as a pen?

[robust grotto]

That European lad doxxing really annoyed me ngl

[amber grove]

GOAL

[celest zephyr]

Same but people are super weird on twitter

[dim ledge]

Because it had to be, like that is a very very arbitrary use of the rule that would not have been engaged nor even looked at in that sense if it wasn't real

[celest zephyr]

Especially football twitter

[dim ledge]

It's all just to protect them

[amber grove]

Doxxing in any form is one of the most disgusting things that can happen online

[robust grotto]

For sure

[dim ledge]

What club was the guy who doxxed hin a fan of

[robust grotto]

👀

Was it United or Arsenal?

[ripe yacht]

Probably madrid lmao

[robust grotto]

Or Madrid yeah lmao

[celest zephyr]

I thought it was madrid

Or chelsea

But I got no clue

[amber grove]

It was Madrid

[celest zephyr]

Weirdos

Football twitter is terrible

[amber grove]

Chelsea Twitter didn't have a problem with him from what I saw

[celest zephyr]

Chelsea twitter hates mohammad salah with a passion

[amber grove]

Yup

[celest zephyr]

I have never seen such collective hate 😭

[amber grove]

Mhm

We kinda all agree on that

[celest zephyr]

It dont matter tho cuz Hazard still the burger king goat

And we all agree on that ❤️

[sweet tree]

lol hojlund

[celest zephyr]

Never forgetting that mans attuide when he went to madrid

[dim ledge]

Chelsea twitter hating a player that their own club GOAT manager ousted shows the collective IQ of that fanbase

[sweet tree]

oh pen

[celest zephyr]

Just to be their worst ever flop

[amber grove]

You'd think Hazard was the best player we ever had if you only followed Chelsea through Twitter

[celest zephyr]

LMAOO true

[ripe yacht]

PEN

[sweet tree]

I dont think either of these were a pen tbh

bruno 1-1

[celest zephyr]

Chelsea are a bipolar club

No long term vision ever

Thats why they sack managers so quick

[amber grove]

We will sign every Brazilian under the age of 18 though

[dense blade]

I don't know if this was the first time this rule was used this way. But imo it was in place because players tend to score off rebounds after taking the pen and that counts as a double touch

[ripe yacht]

Probably gave this pen because they knew the last one was soft

[celest zephyr]

And give all ur washed players to arsenal

[dense blade]

Thanks. I am not watching rn

[amber grove]

Not our fault Arsenal and United are dumb enough to buy our trash

[celest zephyr]

Mount, Havertz, Willian etc

[amber grove]

Mount what a legend

[celest zephyr]

Is Havertz a legend

He scored the ucl winning goal

[amber grove]

No he's shit

[celest zephyr]

Wait

I forgot about the brace thing

Can you guys pls beat arsenal at the emirates

I beg

[amber grove]

Not with Enzo at the wheel

Especially if we start Sanchez in goal

[celest zephyr]

😕

[amber grove]

United fans complain about Onana I'd do a lot to have him instead of Sanchez

[celest zephyr]

Thats a low

Tbf I watched Mignolet and Karius

[dense blade]

It's actually unbelievably funny how much chelsea has spent in that gk position for nothing

Kepa, Jorgen, Sanchez, Lucas etc

[ripe yacht]

Sent your best gk on loan lol

[dense blade]

I think there's about four more

[celest zephyr]

Kepa the goat

[dense blade]

He deserves belt treatment

[celest zephyr]

Liverpool legend

Amazing penalties

[dense blade]

[celest zephyr]

And dont forget a great attuide

When he needs to be subbed off you can count on him

[amber grove]

Because Sanchez was literally on his way out of the fucking club but then this bald twat comes in and says nah your my first choice and then he turns into the worst keeper in the Premier League

[celest zephyr]

I still remember watching this

And being confused

[dense blade]

yeah blame everyone but your sporting directors lol

[amber grove]

HE'S THE ONE PICKING HIM

[celest zephyr]

I have a feeling you dont like Enzo Maresca

Just a hunch

[amber grove]

Despise him
