Beyond frustrating

SI SENOR.

 

[koyvoo]

Another trophy for the good guys

 

[Live in the Now]

WORLD CHAMPIONS.

 

[Epictetus]

Can add it to the club's trophy cabinet, but never again for this tournament, please.

 

[YNWA14]

Firmino you beautiful man!

World Champions of the World! One more trophy to cement this team’s legacy. Please.

 

[John Pedro]

Bruno Henrique exposed TAA badly. Liverpool looked very disinterested, but Flamengo played well and showed their quality.

 

[YNWA14]

Alisson MotM for the semi, Firmino MotM for the final with 2 late winners. Henderson played great as a CB then bossed the final...Mo Salah somehow wins player of the tournament.

Anyway one thing that has struck me lately is that Joe Gomez is getting back to his pre-injury form. Shouldn’t lose his spot again if he keeps this up.

 

[Live in the Now]

Can add it to the club's trophy cabinet, but never again for this tournament, please.

Would actually prefer to be in this next year.

 

[Chimaera]

Yeah money and prestige of this tournament are going to increase. Especially if they make it a World Cup style knockout.

that ref was awful. Concacaf bad

 

[Live in the Now]

I think this cup definitely matters, especially to the players. Perhaps not to the fans as much. This, however, is certainly the best team that we've ever had and will be thoroughly rewarded for it.

 

[Chimaera]

If you’re a Brazilian kid, you care a bit about this one. It helps sell the club more.

 

[sabremike]

Heads up: if you have BR Live they are showing the Edinburgh Derby at 7:30 AM EST. Come on the Hibbs!!!!!!!

 

[HajdukSplit]

The Chinese Super League will cut back their spending ways as they have implemented a salary cap. Foreign players cannot make more than 2m a season. Though it appears the current contracts will be honored

 

[HajdukSplit]

Rangers won at Celtic in the league and are two points back with a game in hand

 

[Epictetus]

Happy for Gerard

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Outplayed and deservedly lose. Interested to see what comes of Kent's gun to the head celebration and Morelos' slit throat gesture to the crowd.

Scum being scum.

 

[gary69]

Morelos must be one of the most idiotic players when it comes to unnecessary red cards. Like diving today on the 94th minute in the penalty area when already on a yellow. And he does similar stuff over and over again and never learns...

 

[sabremike]

Sevco won at Celtic in the league and are two points back with a game in hand

As kids these days put it: FTFY.

 

[les Habs]

Rangers won at Celtic in the league and are two points back with a game in hand

I still think Celtic win the league this year.

Happy for Gerard

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

This is pretty sad, no one has mentioned it here but it’s tragic. Get well Blind.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Lisandro Martinez slots back into the defence. What does he do? Well gets MOTM and a goal line clearance with his head. What a talent.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

The presence of mind to go to the goal line when he sees his keeper caught. Brilliant.

 

[YNWA14]

I've posted about it a few times being in the works as per some of the people I know over in the Netherlands who are involved football related things, here's more info:

https://www.hln.be/sport/voetbal/beneliga-zit-op-de-rails-elf-clubs-scharen-zich-unaniem-achter-project~a7872fb9/

The Dutch and Belgian leagues are working on a merger. Representatives of the Belgian 'Great 5' (Club Brugge, AA Gent, RC Genk, Standard Liege and RSC Anderlecht) met with the Dutch 'Great 6' (Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord, AZ, Vitesse and FC Utrecht), and both football associations had a meeting today, which apparently turned out very positive. Further studies are to be held.

The new league would exist with 10 NL and 8 Belgian teams, with all the big teams mentioned above in + other teams selected based on their league results in the last 5 years. Not clear yet when it would start. With this they are aiming to be the 6th competition in Europe, after the big five (England, Spain, Germany, France and Italy)

-------------

I think it could be great; I hope they set up the structure so there's some windfall to the clubs who don't make the first division cut immediately. I don't think they have to aim below France/Italy or maybe even Germany from a quality standpoint...the infrastructure is there to have a very strong league, though the population and appeal might not be high enough to challenge them in terms of marketing.

 

[Pouchkine]

It would be a lot more fun to follow than Ligue 1 and probably better quality. And Serie A these days is a complete bore as well so it could be really interesting altough I don't like this new idea of countries getting together to have a domestic league...
