Soccer/Football Thread Part 3

Are these games televised/streamed somewhere? (in the US that is)

Technically, yes. They're on B/R Live, which is a paid service, but BleacherReport has been showing Spurs pre-season games for free and this one was as well.

The feed went out about 16,000 times during the game though, especially during the 2nd half. The pre-season games were fine, so I'm going to chalk that one up to playing in Bulgaria

EDIT: Not sure if this applies to Canada.

Didn’t even know there was such thing. Thanks.

Exclusive rights in Canada belong to DZN, which is extremely unfortunate because we used to get ~8 EPL games per week split between TSN and Sportsnet.

Edit: Europa League and Champions League are also covered by DZN now. We used to get CL through TSN and Europa League knockout stage matches on one of TSN/Sportsnet.

German football team loses 37-0 while practicing social distancing during the match.



Some members of the team tested positive for Covid. The team requested a postponement, which was denied, so they fielded the minimum number of players (7) and mostly avoided the opposition.

looks like Liverpool is going all in to win...again

 

[BigToe]

Why is Zaha still playing for Palace?

 

[BigToe]

Pogba looks like he doesn’t want to be there.

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Why is Zaha still playing for Palace?

I think he’s too inconsistent to be a regular in a top side.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Damn, Son.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Damn, Son.

TBH I think Kane's day was more impressive.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

"Damn, Kane" doesn't have the same ring to it, anyway.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Also, the Union are fun to watch...possibly the best team in Philly (or at least repping the Philly name...located in Chester and all)

It sucks they took most all off the soccer off NBCSN in order to pump up Peacock.

Lol.

Luis Suárez Accused of Cheating on Italian Citizenship Test

 

[BritainStix]

I wouldn't be surprised. Suarez isn't mentally all there.

Barca are apparently going back on ketting gim leave on a free now too because he was going to sign for Alteico.

Barcelona have become a gongshow in the last 2 months.

He's a bit of a mess at the moment. Unfit and looks heavy.

Did you have a stroke while typing that?

That's fair, but Barcelona has been a mess lately. Vidal for 1M (not the player he once was, i get it), this nonsense with Arthur, the Messi saga including the president 'bragging' about forcing Messi to stay for the final year... It just seems like a real fall from grace for a club of Barcelona's stature.

Did you have a stroke while typing that?

I was pooping and only half paying attention.

Also, I hate you.

Moyes and two West Ham players have tested positive for covid-19.

West Ham boss Moyes, two players test positive for COVID-19

So Suarez ends up at Atletico after all, even after Bartomeu initially blocked the transfer because he didn't want Suarez going to a Spanish rival.

What a gong show.

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Yeah. I’m so glad I got Peacock for free (for now) by having Xfinity Internet. Before, the only games that weren’t on TV were the ones with conflicting time slots, but now that doesn’t even matter.

They’re going to be terrible when Messi leaves next summer.

 

[Starat327]

They’re going to be terrible when Messi leaves next summer.

Honestly should have just sold him this year and tried to retool the team. Theyre going to be so laughably bad, especially with Koeman getting the boot at the end of this season.
