OT: Discusión del Fútbol (EPL, FIFA, LIGA, USMNT, USWNT, MLS, etc) - Parte Tres

[CapitalsCupReality]

Quite the series of breaks for Newcastle there.

Dawson has a heavy touch, loses the ball and commits a foul trying to win it back that will result in his second yellow and a sending off at the next stoppage in play, which happens to be when Diop puts it in his own net during the resulting breakaway.

And now Fabianski drops an easy cross from a corner right at Joelinton’s feet, who taps it in.

Nice day for the barcodes...

they lucked out....West Ham made a match of it....

Werner is mentally broken. Losing to the City 2nd team should not happen....solid half so far.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Ok phew....onto the Final.

Yeah the way they came out in the second half up a man and 2 goals was pretty darn pathetic. It was like they were down 2 men and just hoping not to get embarrassed. And once West Ham tied it up they started playing again.

But Bruce has very likely kept them up now and at Newcastle that is about all you can really hope for these days as long as Ashley owns the club.

Glad Citeh’s quadruple dream is over.

Transfer Talk: Pogba wants £500k-per-week to stay at Man Utd


United should jettison this guy....

The fat guy is out of his mind.

Ridiculous VAR offside going against Arsenal. Tell me how a pinky toe over the line with the body going the other direction gives any advantage.

VAR is broken.

Yeah VAR should be used to decide clear offsides when the referee miss it or penalty and red card situations. The ones where they need 5 minutes to decide if it was offside or not should stand just like it should be the same in hockey with offsides. If its almost impossible to see if its an offside then let the call on the ice stand.

I also question if they always get the picture they use for deciding offsides in soccer right. They would need to stop the picture the exact moment the ball leaves the foot of the player passing the ball to get it right. Would probably need to check that as close as they check the offside line they put up to be 100% sure and I dont think they do.

 

[g00n]

And now an equally tight VAR goes the other way for a penalty. Rubbish!

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Between VAR's horrible implementation and a potential European Super League breaking away my interest in soccer may wane quite a bit.

European soccer split as 12 clubs launch breakaway league

Jesus christ what is this mess. Seems like a game of chicken to me.

 

[ovikovy817]

F*** it.

Don't want ManUtd to be part of this s***

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

A lot of news today huh? Super league, 36 team Champions league and now this.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Jose....ole!

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Gotta be honest, this is a terrible look for the US. With the introduction of a salary team in the ESL and with the league being funded by an American bank it's going to look like the greedy Yank owners are looking to "American-ize" the beautiful game. And the people saying that would probably be right. The Henrys, Glazers, and Kroenkes are all world-class shitheads.

And if they do it they'll sign an exclusive broadcast agreement with some network (or create one) and then make it yet another pay channel.

But I still think this is 90% brinksmanship for some other financial goal.

100% believe it’s this. The players are not giving up playing in the World Cup.

Boris Johnson saying the Government will fight this. Seems destined to head to the Courts and end in some sort of arbitration and settlement.

3.5 bil of the 6 bil JPMC investment is about 300 mil to each of the 12 founding clubs....

 

[ovikovy817]

Yep.

After Ferdinand's, Neville's words and other people in different countries, that's what it looks like.
"American and Jews thinking about the money."

Hope UEFA/FIFA/domestic leagues will ban clubs /players for participating in the ESL

Even more important. Hope they'll deny the ESL clubs to do business with other clubs. Can't buy or sell players to those teams.

 

[Ajax1995]

Jose....ole!

I have to be honest, I felt a lot synergy when the manager I hate the most by far took over the club I hate the most by far. I’m a bit disappointed now...

I absolutely hope they find a way to ban the ESL clubs from their domestic leagues and cups. I think it might be a long legal struggle to do that but they hopefully are successful.

The domestic leagues and cups and European football are intrinsically tied together. Trying to stay in one area while taking your ball and going home for the other is complete BS. You want your own league? Fine but you play in it all the time with nothing else. And if FIFA and UEFA ban your players from playing in world cups and European championships that is on you also.

If they stick with this plan I hope every club involved and every player on those clubs suffer severely. And I’m an Arsenal supporter.

It will never come to that because it will never get that far IMO.
