France 2-1

[rough galleon]

What a shot

[ember fern]

What a fuckin goal

Football’s coming home? Nah your team going home

[rough galleon]

Tchouameni is so good

Wish lloris plays like this with spurs

[ember fern]

American public watches soccer once every 4 years and start coming up with “fixes”

Kane should have scored that

[rough galleon]

That's definitely a foul

[ember fern]

Damn

Wasn’t a penalty tho

[rough galleon]

Not a pen but close

[ember fern]

Nice shot by Kane

[rough galleon]

Having sideline reporters for soccer is so dumb

They allow trumpets in the stadium?

[dapper dirge]

wym?

[dapper dirge]

yes its called fan songs

this ref kinda sus

tbh

[rough galleon]

They have a third reporter telling stories and stuff during the game

It was during a big moment too

[dapper dirge]

what like a colour commentator?

[ember fern]

A 3rd commentator randomly coming in from time to time

[rough galleon]

Parry Pane time

[dapper dirge]

fucking finally

textbook penalty there

oh sorry we're american

Great ENG PK

[ember fern]

This is a good fuckin game

[dapper dirge]

https://tenor.com/view/engerland-slow-gif-22795800

score sam fakin gowls bruv

[ember fern]

Maguire looks like such a dork lmao

Like he looks like the neighborhood dumbass in a British sitcom

[dapper dirge]

Leave Slabhead alone

Lawd almighty this ref

thats a clear foul

if this isnt a penalty this is a joke

[ashen burrow]

That dude kicked it above the net

[dapper dirge]

finally not having to hear about the world cup anymore

[rough galleon]

What a game

Kane choked tho

[ashen burrow]

Called it

[stray forum]

yessir

[rain ravine]

Soccer moment

[brazen patrol]

that pen was fucking brutal though

[brazen patrol]

kane won't get hate for sending a pen to the heavens but rashford getting hate for the freekick

[distant girder]

Boo

Welp that’s a wrap

[ember fern]

Dude that second goal was so good

Such bad defense though

[charred socket]

Frfr

[long ingot]

lots of luck on that 2nd

but fantastic effort

hated they gave that as a PK on that first one

shot wasnt detterred from contact

and the shooter wasnt going to get to the ball first either

[ember fern]

Nah

That’s a penalty every single time

[charred socket]

Yeah fr, i would have thought so too.

[ember fern]

I’ve never seen a possession where that happens and they don’t give penalty

[long ingot]

yea, they alwasy give it, but i disagree with it

shot went off first, then contact

contact didnt change the shot

[brazen patrol]

wraps

[ember fern]

Shot being changed or not doesn’t matter though, there’s illegal contact within the box and that’s all that matters

[long ingot]

y not?
the attacking player created the contact, just as much

[ember fern]

The player with the control of the ball can’t create contact by definition

[long ingot]

but hes shooting

not dribbling around

shot was off and gone

u want the shot and the PK ?

which is what happens, i know

[ember fern]

Just cause he was able to get a shot off doesn’t mean it wasn’t altered

[long ingot]

it wasnt altered by the contact that followed

[ember fern]

Also, what I mean by “who has control doesn’t matter is, if I’m inside the box and get tackled even though I don’t have the ball, wouldn’t that warrant a penalty

[ember fern]

It was altered because he saw the goalie coming for him

[long ingot]

but thats allowed

the contact was after the shot was taken

thats y i dont like the call

almost Messi magic there

common CRO, need a goal from u soon

[ember fern]

If I’m dribbling fast, you try to slide tackle the ball and I pass the ball away last second, leading you to tackle my feet, is that not a foul?

[long ingot]

yes, u r correct, it is a foul

[ember fern]

Can’t believe Messi missed that, was a good opportunity

[ember fern]

This is the same situation in my mind

Love that Argentina isn’t parking the bus after being up 2

Makes for a fun watch

[long ingot]

CRO committing an extra guy forward

so ARG, has not choice.
space is there and theyr taking it

Croatia is trying to over attack now

thats not their style

Modric is great

[charred socket]

3-0

Damnnnnnn

[ember fern]

https://tenor.com/view/crab-rave-dancing-dancing-crab-gif-16543314

Bye Croatia

[charred socket]

[brazen patrol]

IT

IS

WRAPS

i hate it

[ember fern]

All the attackers of Argentina have such high technique and good touch

[brazen patrol]

croatia wins in my heart

[charred socket]

[long ingot]

ARG just fouling now

running into guys

[ember fern]

Yeah they shouldnt be doing that, need to have everybody available for the final

[long ingot]

give me,
Morrocco to upset Argentina in the final

please

oh, the drama

[stone lava]

MESSI TO THE FINALS

[rough galleon]

Too bad Croatia lost I wanted them to win it all

[brazen patrol]

im sad about the little moroccan girl who was shittalking ronaldo after the portugal loss

shes been getting ||r*pe and death|| threats, her mother issued an apology begging people to stop bullying her

she's not going to the morocco vs france game tn because of how unsafe she feels

its so unfair

these insecure grown ass ronaldo fanboys have no shame

[ember fern]

Ronaldo fanboys have always been the worst, since I was a child

Taking up after their idol I guess

[charred socket]

Cmon Morocco

[ember fern]

Surprised to see them play so well on offense, thought they were just a “park the bus kind of team

[brazen patrol]

these set pieces are so good

just gotta see them finish

[ember fern]

Yeah, got close a couple times

[charred socket]

Soooo close

The one that hit the post

[brazen patrol]

holy shit morrocans can't finish to save their lives

lmaoo the headers though

[charred socket]

So many opportunities here, man!

[rough galleon]

Still a lot of time

They can find a breakthrough

[charred socket]

Yeah I feel like they’re in a good spot

[rough galleon]

Idk I feel good about Morocco if they go to pens

Bonnou has been top tier

[ember fern]

Man that was so close

[brazen patrol]

come on come on

[rough galleon]

Hakimi please come to spurs

[brazen patrol]

goddamn the physicality

man is not holding back

[ember fern]

Thuram giving some trouble

My dad always used to joke like “look you’re in the game” cause his name sounds like mine

[rough galleon]

Didn't even know thuram is french

[charred socket]

RIP

noooooooo

[brazen patrol]

not getting a better chance than that

[long ingot]

first touch goal ?

[rough galleon]

There it is

Vamos Argentina🇦🇷

[brazen patrol]

ggez

[long ingot]

no, i cant support ARG

they have been aholes

[charred socket]

Messi baby 😂

[ember fern]

There’s an unwritten rule, if you keep missing your chances, you’ll concede a goal

[charred socket]

Morocco had been looking so good all game, too

Couldn’t convert

[brazen patrol]

messi needs to win it

[long ingot]

nah

[brazen patrol]

im not watching mbappe win back to back WCs

no way im watching that

[long ingot]

i know, i struggle with what i prefer

[brazen patrol]

i need the little tax evader to win it

[long ingot]

FR repeat
or
Messi winning a WC

both, suck

[charred socket]

Messi

https://tenor.com/view/regele-fotbalului-regele-regelemeulafotbal-regelemeulafootball-sefuluiyzsem-gif-25766031

[long ingot]

i wanted Morocco to win it all

would have been best scenario

[charred socket]

Me too

[long ingot]

and, just great for soccer

[charred socket]

but now may be out smh

[long ingot]

between the Ronaldo v Messi debate

i lean, Ronaldo

but, i dont want either fan boys, to have that, CR/M won the WC, so hes better

as a talking point

oh no

10yr old crying

he really thought Morocco was going to do it

WOW, almost a fantastic goal there by MAR

[gritty forum]

France vs Argentina should be a good match

Messi and his “last dance” vs the future

[brazen patrol]

his fanboys suck ass and make it hard to root for him sometimes

including that alleged rape case that leaves a really bad taste in my mouth

plus messi is just better at football

[long ingot]

ouu, umar said something bad

i never want to get into the CR v M argument

cause someone, is going to take it too far

then it ends up into name calling

[brazen patrol]

i would never do that, you jackass

[long ingot]

the sports site i was at before here, i was a mod.
with limited power.
just able to give like, 5min timeouts
and delete comments

[charred socket]

https://tenor.com/view/you-suck-jackass-gif-18209038

Reminds me of this

[long ingot]

i got them to make a soccer chat, and, had to mute guys cause thats what the convo would always end as

just name calling, over, who is better

so dumb

[brazen patrol]

jordan vs lebron, ronaldo vs messi, electro vs shanghi

the debates will never end

however we can all agree that morocco went out sad

[long ingot]

nah, its all success

first time for them and for an african team, to get this far

i think i said it earlier...

Senegal Cameroon Ghana

have been good and done well in past WCs

Morocco, first cycle of being decent, and get this far

those 3 have to be annoyed

[ember fern]

Messi was my childhood and why I have love for not just football but sports in general. Would love to see him get this beautiful ending

[static swift]

ikr

[long ingot]

if Messi wins this WC

is he the best ever ?

[brazen patrol]

well a lot of people will say that he already is, but i reckon the debate is gonna be completely mudded if he does win it all

arguments for ronaldo get shorter and shorter every season

and i say that as someone who grew up playing on real madrid on fifa, had ronaldo jerseys

[rough galleon]

I will stand by the Ronaldo is a better athlete Messi is a better player argument

[long ingot]

its a 4 person, top tier, right ?

CR, messi, pele, maradonna

thats tier 1, yea?

[brazen patrol]

yeah pretty much

but messi might be in a tier of his own tbh

[brazen patrol]

the better athlete thing is a bit redundant imo, the athletic build of both players fits their playstyles

[bright sparrow]

WHAT A SAVE

[bright sparrow]

He's got a good chance to overtake messi

[ember fern]

Wow just saw the save

[bright sparrow]

I'm a little ahead

[bright sparrow]

MPABBE ALMOST HAD A SHOT

PENALTIES

[long ingot]

wow, mpabbe

fantastic dribble

[ember fern]

I have no faith in Argentina to win in penalties

[long ingot]

they were very good v NED

[charred socket]

My Argentina fan friend is so worried

This game has been insane

[ember fern]

I hope they don’t do that stupid shit where they put Messi to the last penalty shot

[long ingot]

if Messi could miss and ARG lose

thatd be great

😆

Dybala, got subbed on, with 3 mins left

probably to take a PK

thats kinda risky

[charred socket]

First

[ember fern]

Jesus he palmed the ball and it still went in

[long ingot]

Camavinga, got subbed on and played Left Fullback.
i dont think hes ever played that spot before.
props to him.

every substituion FR made in this match,
was super risky

changed their formation 2 times during the game

[ember fern]

Damn that was slow by Messi

[long ingot]

these are not good PKs

and sometimes double or triple the teams at the bottom

Chelsea is actually ruining soccer

Literally every player that can walk is being rumored to them

Even Im not this greedy when I play football manager

[long ingot]

i seen some reports, they were going to pay 127$m for a player

but, a guy i dont even know

no fucking way, theyr paying that much

[rough galleon]

Enzo Fernandez, he was best young player at the world cup

He's good but that's way too much for him

Idk how they won't break financial fair play if they make all these signings they're rumored to make

[long ingot]

Just saw rumor,
Real M to pay 100$m for Bellingham

Rumor season is always dumb

Except this one time,
Chelsea signed
Lukaku, Zyich, Kia, Timo in 1 year

[rough galleon]

They already got Nkunku for next summer

Already spent ridiculous amount on Fofana, Cucu, Sterling, Koulibaly

Only players they sold were Werner and Emerson lol

Lost Rudiger for free too

They've spent a net of over $500m including players leaving

[long ingot]

I didn't see that Nkuku is going there

If Pulisic leaves, I'm not gonna follow them that much.

I follow players instead of teams.

Just where the Americans play really

[ember fern]

I used to follow Atletico Madrid hard because of Arda Turan was in his prime there (and we have the same name)

[long ingot]

oh Chelsea. SMDH

at least Tott lost and were bad

Chelsea's only goal, was accidental

[modest jackal]

how do i post a gif

I need to post a gif of a seagull

4-0, 18 year old striker scored in his first two premier league games, talk to Hitchcock about The Birds and prepare

[long ingot]

https://tenor.com/view/brighton-brighton-and-hove-albion-gif-20279108

[modest jackal]

nah I want the one when you put in 'seagull', it's i think the second one and it's a kinda fat looking seagull and it lifts its neck up and yells

https://tenor.com/view/seagull-screaming-scream-seagull-screaming-meme-gif-18193351

THERE WE GO

[long ingot]

the team lost its manager,
and didnt lose any quality

big ups to BHA

[modest jackal]

sarmiento/ferguson/mitoma/march combined for 3 goals and an assist and cost the club £2 mil to bring in

[rough galleon]

http://www.espnfc.com/united-states-usa/story/4843749/us-soccer-reveals-investigation-into-manager-gregg-berhalter

US soccer cannot go a week without drama

[long ingot]

its worse even

Reyna family and Gregg, go back years.

Claudio and Greg been playing on teams together since they were kids

the Reyna mom, and Greggs wife, were best friends in college and played soccer together

Reyna mom, called ussf, and told them about Gregg and his wife issue, back from when they were 18 years old

the Reyna family entitlement is crazy

[long ingot]

Harry Kane,
now 3rd in goals scored

will pass Rooney, probably this season

[rough galleon]

Haaland is passing everyone😆

[long ingot]

its not going to go well for Chelsea

[stone lava]

'

[toxic badger]

Gareth bale officially retired

[long ingot]

his time with Real Madrid, was great

i believe they 3peated

[toxic badger]

greatest Welsh player ever laced up

[long ingot]

yea, idk who is even on that list

CR Benzema Bale

that was a fantastic attacking trio

[toxic badger]

lowkey i think he was a better player overall compared to CR

i guess it was difficult to share the spotlight if you were on that Madrid team

[long ingot]

obvi, CR, gets most of the talk and eyes

but, that was a complete team, and most people knew that

[rough galleon]

Just got a psg jersey for $20

Cheaper than a fake one

[ember fern]

Di Maria complemented Ronaldo much better imo even though he wasn’t as big of a name or a fancy player

[toxic badger]

also Özil

[ember fern]

Oh yeah

What was that midfield, Xabi Alonso, Modric, Ronaldo, Özil, Di Maria?

Legendary

[long ingot]

Anyone watching Laliga Super Cup?

Barca v RM

[long ingot]

Gio Reyna scored a GOLASSO

[long ingot]

anyone watching ARS V MU

[toxic badger]

arsenal is the real deal??

is MU the equivalent of Knicks? ppl are saying they have a trash frontoffice and facilities

[long ingot]

this season, yes

the team plays together and has unity

very unselfish play, and the effort from everyone is there

MU, spending $ on players, but apparently, thats it

nowhere else

[toxic badger]

about goddamn time arsenal being the real deal

[long ingot]

MU started Bruno, Erickson, McTomminay, and expected to beat the 1st place Arsenal.

what a WEAK midfield

[toxic badger]

not a fan, but love watching them since Henry days

also Fabregas

[long ingot]

only team i dont like is manC

but, they have Haaland and DeBruyne

[toxic badger]

they were the OKC before OKC was, young guys only

[long ingot]

Henry, is my fave from that generation

[toxic badger]

but you cant hate Pep

[long ingot]

i got to see him play for NYRB in mls

[toxic badger]

he's good

[long ingot]

i do hate pep

over rated

[toxic badger]

lmao ok

[long ingot]

just spends $ to get the guys that he wants

[toxic badger]

fair

i think his portfolio and experiences are well deserved

[long ingot]

klopp with LP too.
when he got there, he changed that roster pretty much 100%

got players that play and fit his system

so, imo, its hard to rank those managers as the best

[toxic badger]

ya i mean thats how football works, unlike nba

you can spend as much as you want

[long ingot]

yea, so i cant say that those managers are the best

[toxic badger]

ok so do you rank Mourinho as overrated or properly rated?

[long ingot]

properly.
we know he has a certain amount of years, then his message and style gets stale

u seen the rumors of Mourinho,
to become manager for USMNT

[rough galleon]

I feel like it's not gonna happen because he doesn't even wanna manager Portugal

[toxic badger]

dont think he'll achieve anything significat if he coached USMNT instead of Portugal

[long ingot]

id be interested to see if Mourinho became manager and installed a possession and counter attack style

still, usa hasnt showed they can score, even mediocrily

next cycle tho, Reyna, Sargent, Pepi, Pefok, ALL better be used

[rough galleon]

Chris Richards looks good too he will probably replace Ream

I wonder if next manager will keep not calling up John Brooks lol

[long ingot]

we went from a deep CB pool, to having to call in 35yr old Ream

Ream was great
but, he wasnt supposed to be needed

Miles, Richards, are in the lead for the best CB pairing

Zimm is still going to be useful

i stopped following Brooks, as soon as 3G was done with him.
so, idk what hes up to anymore

[long ingot]

USA v Serbia

9pm mke time

friendly

half the team is a bunch of noobs

a few youngsters

unless they shine, it will be very BLAH

[long ingot]

usa v serbia

hbo / hbomax

if yall got that

[rough galleon]

Brandon Vazquez might be legit

[long ingot]

he was scoring pretty good at the end of last season

should have been called into more camps

especially, if our only play was to send in crosses into the box

ugh, WALL FAIL

zimm and gress ? i think

Cowell i like.
plays in SJ

Morris, looked good the first 10mins

[long ingot]

2 mistakes, gifting them goals

SMDH

[toxic badger]

yo can we have

champions league

ASAP

[long ingot]

young guys, getting their first taste of main national team play

[toxic badger]

i know my team will probably only reach top 8 but UCL is still a drug

[long ingot]

but, BUT, u CANT make these kinds of mistakes

which team ?

[toxic badger]

inter

[long ingot]

where r they now, that juve dropped 15p

top 4, yea ?

[toxic badger]

i was talking about ucl

i dont care about serie a anymore lmao

think since late December, i know we cant win serie a

[long ingot]

yea, Napoli killin it

[toxic badger]

6 Ls

[long ingot]

remove Napoli, and its a close race

3p from 2nd to 6th

[toxic badger]

coppa italia is the only hope i have

honestly as long as milan not winning it all

i'm gucci

or juve

12points difference

thats like 4 games

no chance at all

[long ingot]

vs Atalanta, in the coppa

will b good match

[toxic badger]

we also won supercoppa

i mean noone cared about that

[toxic badger]

yea

it's the battle of black-blue team

both inter and atlanta wear black-blue

[long ingot]

ive watched more SerieA lately, than i have before

mostly thanks to Weston being at Juve

and CR when he was there

but, sounds like hes moving to Leeds

i DONT like that move tho

wow, Cowell off the post 2x

[toxic badger]

honestly serie a is an acquired taste, it's slower and more boring compared to EPL and spanish league

[long ingot]

it used to b full complaining

and thats what turned me off

[toxic badger]

EPL you watch things go real fast, spanish you watch ball movement and pretty handles

serie a just, defender tackled your favourite striker 247

at least back in the day, it was so defensive centric

[long ingot]

When serieA had those powerhouse teams, back in the day, it was awesome

But, was hard to get live games

Before all these streaming services

I returned, when American Bradley went to Chievo

And been watching it more since

I PREFER Americans to NOT go to epl

Theres no development, no technical skills no tactics

Run kick foul hard

[toxic badger]

to which league, then

[long ingot]

But, serieA teams, haven't liked Americans yet

Any of the other big 4

[toxic badger]

there's no win win, if you want technical skills you probably go to spanish league

or LATAM leagues

or build it grass root, hire coaches to US

[long ingot]

Bund, Liga, sA, L1
Any of them

puli, chelsea, for now
sargent, championship. thats still ok
weah, lille. just now getting starts, but, at stupid Wingback, when hes a high winger

musah, Valencia. and hes playing as CM/HM. and looking great.
weston, juve. good spot, gets starts, plays mostly his spot
Adams, Aaronsson, both at Leeds, in their true spots and both are starters

[toxic badger]

if you want some US players for the long run, put them to European football academies

[long ingot]

Dest at Milan, but, i havent watched any starts yet

[toxic badger]

any countries, really

portugal has great football academies, Spain, the UK

[long ingot]

they have been going to them, but, none have made it yet

[toxic badger]

as long as they're based in Eu

[long ingot]

through that system

[toxic badger]

ah i see

whats the reason

[long ingot]

we had 2 at Barcelona
Konrad and, i dont reember the other kid

both made it to Barca B,
left, and havent done shite since

Ledzema, as PSV or somewhere over there.
made it to main team.
got injured

Richards and Che, both got snagged at 17 years old.
and just now, are getting starts as CBs

[toxic badger]

arsenal - city today

should be fun

[long ingot]

That was not fun

[toxic badger]

did you watch it?

[long ingot]

yea.
seemed like each side was trying hard NOT to make a mistake

even the goal scored, was a just, shoot at goal, goal

[shrewd hatch]

THE REAL FOOTBALL

[long ingot]

Weston McKennie to Leeds

I don't like that.
But, lots do

Adams McKennie Aaronson midfield

[rough galleon]

I don't like the idea of having everyone on the same team because if there's any drama it'll likely get to the national team too

[long ingot]

i dont think theres going to be drama, from these guys

but, there were some rumors, that Weston hooked up with a sister or GF, of one of his usa teammates

but, no real evidence

[shrewd hatch]

W/L
Di Maria
Juventus --------> Barcelona

[hallow fern]

jorghino to arsenal

dont thinks its that bad actually

good player who can dictate pace of the game

[rough galleon]

They got him for cheap, low risk

Meanwhile....

I'm praying on Chelsea's downfall so hard rn

[long ingot]

wow

lots of moves

chelsea bought a whole new team

do u guys have and use the FotMob app ?

its the main one i use for soccer

website is ok too

https://www.fotmob.com/leagues/47/transfers/premier-league

Sabitzer, from Bayern to ManU

thats HUGE

Casimero and Sabitzer as their dual DMs

[hallow fern]

Looks a good player

Should do well for United

[somber girder]

Hopefully arsenal win the leauge

[toxic badger]

shit about to get super rowdy

[long ingot]

im not an actual Arsenal fan, but, their team play so far this season is a joy to watch

great understanding of everyones role

teamwork

playing for each other

and, somebody else other than manC to win the league, thats ok with me

[rough galleon]

Gio and Pefok scored today

[modest jackal]

I can't believe my basketball team has the best player basketball player in the world (Giannis) and my football team has the best football player in the world (Mitoma)

I am so blessed

[somber girder]

I hate being a villa fan

[long ingot]

Malik Tillman also

Over in Scotland with Rangers

[hallow fern]

Tillman's actually cold and I hate it

Nothing on carter Vickers tho

By far the best American in Scotland

[toxic badger]

yurrrrr

Milan is still black and blue

[somber girder]

Man city lolllllllll

[long ingot]

slap on the wrist ?
or, do u think they will get a real punishement ?

points deduction or relegation, IMO, would b the only real punishments

[somber girder]

Relegation but knowing city probably points deducted

[long ingot]

probably just pay a fine

and do it all over again

Leeds sign, Weston

then fire the manager Marsch

that doesnt make sense to me

team is just good enough to NOT get relegated

and thats exactly where they are, atm

[frail pier]

Timely reminder that arsenal are top of the league

[long ingot]

anyone but manC
for me

but, Arsenal has looked excellent this season

full team effort and everyone is playing for each other

[toxic badger]

1 week till champions league

[frail pier]

I have waited 20 years for this

[toxic badger]

it has been 20 years, huh

[frail pier]

I was 5 when we last won the league and I barely remember it

If it isn’t the year this year I’m ending it all

[toxic badger]

vieira & henry

GvB was on that team too?

dang i never knew that

[frail pier]

Ja

Didn’t play toooo much

Gael Clichy somehow got a winners medal

[long ingot]

i remember Arsenal winning it 20 years ago

Henry was my fave player

but, it was hard to watch and find games in the states back then

[toxic badger]

tf happened to liverpool

[long ingot]

played their guys too much

[toxic badger]

love to see newcastle doing well

[long ingot]

additions, did not excell, all became rotation or depth guys

[toxic badger]

love to see smaller teams are doing well

[long ingot]

yea, im all for the underdogs

americans, at Fulham and Chelsea

and Leeds

so, i watch those games the most

[long ingot]

LETS GO LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDS

[long ingot]

GOAL LEEDS

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[long ingot]

double shite

[long ingot]

just a cup match, but, Marsielle beat psg

hasnt happened since 1991

[toxic badger]

PSG really is just a fancy retirement house

living in Paris, crazy amount of salary

to barely winning anything

no hate tho, go get your 💸

[long ingot]

if anyone wants to join a Chelsea server, let me know

gamethreads B WILD in there

[toxic badger]

Champions League in a few days

Pog

[long ingot]

CL TODAY

PSG v Bayern

Milan v Tott

[ember fern]

Is the only way to watch champions league in the us legally paramount+?

If so, gonna have to sail the high seas

Haven’t watched club soccer in a while but PSG vs Bayern should be the interesting one right?

[toxic badger]

on paper yea, but PSG is fraud tbh

[ember fern]

My wife’s grandparent is from Napoli, and I see they’re playing next week + are the leader in their league

They’re good?

15 point lead

[long ingot]

Napoli is super good this season

They're not ur usual possession and slow the game down serieA team

They move with purpose in attack, and have a goal scoring CF that they give him all of the 5050 chances

Haha, Neymar on the ground.
That 1 stupid clip of him rolling around 6x, gave soccer a bad look for years

[toxic badger]

Napoli is really good this season, and i'm kinda happy for them

historically rich team in the past, now setting their foot again in modern serie a

any team that's not AC Milan, Roma or Juventus, i'm happy if they're winning it all

[long ingot]

i dont watch much serieA.
pretty much those teams u listed and napoli.
especially if they play each other

Milan and Sergino Dest
but, he only plays randomly

i like Tammy on Roma.
and Mourinho is always fun to watch

[toxic badger]

Mou is a different type of fun to watch

kinda owed him a lot, since he brought Champions league and treble to us back in 2010

[rough galleon]

Why is arsenal city on the same day as champions league

[long ingot]

i think its a rescheduled match

from when the Queen died

[long ingot]

DAM

DeB steals a bad back pass

and chips keeper for a Goal

[long ingot]

Arsenal better NOT fall apart

now that theyve lost to manC

anyone but manC to win the league please

DAM

super nice team goal by AVL

[somber girder]

Don't remind me

[long ingot]

R u AVL or Arsenal supporter?

[somber girder]

Villa

[long ingot]

Arse got a bit lucky with all that extra time action

[somber girder]

Martinez couldn't do anything about that tbh

[long ingot]

if u need some soccer

Getafe v Valencia

ESPN+

great start to the match

lots of action

[toxic badger]

Napoli and RM gon take this

[ember tangle]

Facts

[toxic badger]

inter has been quite shaky lately 😔

[long ingot]

i dont think they will have any issues

[toxic badger]

Big Rom scores 🥳🥳

[rough galleon]

City is finished

[toxic badger]

literally

60% ball possesion and 1 conversion only?

[rough galleon]

Sad that Nkunku is downgrading teams

[long ingot]

nobody talking about manU taking out Barca in Europa League

[toxic badger]

i mean

both are kinda irrelevant these days

[long ingot]

nah, this season, Barca is on their way to win LaLiga

manU, is top 4 in epl

[long ingot]

anyone watching Real v Atletico ?

horrible Red Card given to AtMa.
but, AtMa just scored in the 78th, on a set piece

Vinicious has been horrible today

stupid shots, and lots of lost possession

[toxic badger]

lost to Bologna 😔

champions league and coppa are the only hope i have left

[long ingot]

bayern beat union

i was hoping for union to surprise, and win the league

how fun would that be

[rough galleon]

so which team do i support now

i like brighton but i think thats a bit too much of a bandwagon

either crystal palace or wolves because i like to suffer

but suffering with no expectations at least

[rough galleon]

I don't wanna be plastic but all 4 years I've been watching soccer have been pure disappointment and suffering and pain

[long ingot]

who r your teams now ?
do u watch other leagues, or only EPL ?

[rough galleon]

the one that lost to a championship side today

prem is the best league in the world so i'd prefer prem

im gonna invest in chris richards stonks and be a palace fan

[long ingot]

oh my.
i didnt pay attention

u already support 1 of the usual top 6

get on the Newcastle or Fulham current success wagon

Fulham has 2 Americans

Leeds, 3 Americans

but, they are close to going down

[long ingot]

i enjoy the Bundesliga (and MLS), the most

and theres an actual title race this season

[rough galleon]

bayern is still gonna win it like always

[long ingot]

Hopefully anyone but Bayern

Still, I like the play style in the Bund, over other leagues

[toxic badger]

newcastle is fun

tbh so does arsenal, it's my 2nd team since forever

[rough galleon]

Antetokoumbros got a share in Nashville sc

Might have to be a fan of them now

[toxic badger]

😅

would be fun if they get a share of Filathlitikos

they gotta build his statue fr if that's the case

cannot wait for champions league

this could be the year of serie a

really depends of the seeding but inter kinda has a chance

[long ingot]

They r actually pretty good

They have Zimmerman and Shaq, 2 usmnt guys

[ember tangle]

🐐

I’m a season ticket holder for the Brighton home games

Fuck Crystal Palace fr tho

[ember fern]

My wife is a Napoli fan, I used to be a Beşiktaş fan but stopped watching soccer years ago except for big games

[ember tangle]

Napoli are winning every match they play at this point lol

[ember fern]

Jinxed lol

[long ingot]

haha

still 17p ahead of Lazio

BVB, 1st, atm in the Bund

RBL were not good, for 70 mins

couldnt finish

then, created even more chances

almost tied it up

[ember tangle]

💀

I hard jinxed that my bad lmfao

[toxic badger]

literally 7 wins diff

season is over anyway

now if Mou & Roma can take over Milan at 4th

[long ingot]

i think i heard, Mou has more cards than his team
and half the league

or something crazy like that

[toxic badger]

not surprised

[long ingot]

someone just shared this site with me

https://usmnt-tracker.com/

tells u, every American that has a game, every day

very awesome
