Other domestic leagues 2020/21

Watching Genk and Oostende - this league always this crazy?

No, you won't see games like that very often Just two very offensive minded teams who haven't really figured out their defence yet.
Genk better figure it out soon though, they play Shakhtar on Tuesday.

Sesko & Adeyemi make for a simply delightful partnership. Salzburg should be a lot of fun to watch in the CL again.

Second game, second brace for Karim...should've been the hattrick right there, but he was too unselfish.

I think they may be better this season than the past few seasons. Those two might score 75 goals between them in all competitions this season if they stay healthy.

I can see that. They're looking sharp and that pair of teenagers upfront are incredibly talented. Sesko looks like a slovenian Hlozek and Karim's quickness & pace are just terrifying now that his mind has started catching up to his feet.

Also helps that Nico Mantl looks poised to take that next step to challenge Müller/Nübel for that best young german keeper title and Aaronson looks to have settled into their midfield quickly.

I'm excited to watch Aaronson develop

I wasn't focusing on him like I was their forwards so don't have much to say, but he and Junuzovic really moved the ball well through the midfield.

So I recently decided to bite the bullet and get Paramount Plus for European matches and also Scotland. As it comes with the package, I've also watched a fair bit of Brazilian and Argentinian league football since. I would say that based on what I've seen Argentinian football is definitely more entertaining than Brazilian (which somewhat surprised me). A lot of teams playing pretty attacking football and a lot of rather spotty defensive play. The Brazilian league feels a little more 'European' in comparison, more organized and rugged.

Is this available in Canada?

Paramount+ is but I think their sports broadcasting rights are different from territory to territory, country to country.

One soccer will have Canada's games but i want to see all the Octagonal games so i guess we will see.

It's already not going to be like last season as Rangers lose away to Dundee Utd to end their 40 match unbeaten streak.

Antwerp striker Michael Frey scored 5 goals today at Standard, including a 9-minute natural hatty

Just finished watching this one. That last 25 minutes was brutal.

Ozil opened his account with Fenerbahçe. Captains arm band on and back with the #10, wishing this Arsenal legend a great season!

....just found out Hulk left his wife and married his wife's niece.

Seems like a good fella.

Family get togethers should be top notch.

Made it a point to wake up for SPL action on ESPN+ only to find it's no longer on ESPN+ but Paramount+. Damn. I wonder how often leagues will be switching streaming providers. Could become a cumbersome task tracking year to year.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

A fella by the name of Dom just scored a cracking goal from about 25m out for Beerschot. Laser beam into the upper corner.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Malmö right now have 70M Euro in the bank. Not sure where that would place Malmö in terms of economics if lets say we played in Bundesliga.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Were it not for the inherent tension of an Old Firm match, this Rangers/Celtic contest would be an awful advert for Scottish football (even with the tension really).

And the way some talk about Edouard and Morelos, dear lord. Some of the worst striker play I've seen from both. I hope Edouard does go to Palace, he's dreadful.

 

[Ajacied]

Noa Lang is such a baller.

I'm savouring every minute he's still in Brugge

What do you think of Antwerp's level this season?

Watched their defeat against Olympiacos last night, and they sure have players on paper in their attack who should do well in the Belgian league, even if some of them didn't live up to their early promise. Of course who knows how they will gel as the season goes on. Jonathan Eggestein, Viktor Fischer, Samatta, Frey. Engels, Verstraete, Gerkens, Butez, lots of guys in their prime years, some with experience at higher level leagues. And then veterans like De Laet, Nainggolan, Haroun. I'd thought they should do well, even if not quite challenge for the title, but they have had rather mediocre start to the season in the league.

Is their win against Standard Liege more indicative of their ability, or the two home losses against lesser name clubs?
