OT: Soccer/Football Thread Part Two

[JojoTheWhale]

So... I guess the question is did @JojoTheWhale check it out?

He might be the kryptonite to Liverpool that Beef is to the Sixers.

I did not. I was out meeting dogs for a potential new puppy. If I need a note to prove to @Captain Dave Poulin that this isn't my fault, I will do so.

Pics or it didn't happen...

For confirmation that you were doing such a thing, of course. Not because I want to see a pupper or anything.

That Everton/United ending was something.

Not even an Everton fan and I thought that was some next level VAR crappin the bed.

I can see it going both ways. I don't think that it effected De Gea but I also don't know the intricacies of the rules enough to to take a hard line.

They're not born yet. Sorry about the quality. We went to meet the other parent. I had to perform some surgery in order to avoid having to blur faces of people I don't know.

No, we're not going to a breeder. It would be a friend's puppies. They happen to do agility competitions, so that was the easiest place.

What a beaut.

I don't necessarily disagree but DeGea has eyes on the ball the whole way (IMO) so I, personally, dont believe DeGea makes that save even if the Everton player isn't there.

Like I said I dont really care either way. I just think VAR needs some....tweaks.

I'm a Gooner so I'm actually happy they both came away with just 1 pt.

Also thrilled that Liverpool and Spurs crapped the bed as well this weekend

Juventus In Lockdown As Three Players Test Positive For The Coronavirus

Well that's a clickbait title if i've ever seen one.

Juventus has shut down their U23 training because the last team they faced now has had three players confirmed to have the virus not because Juventus has three players that tested positive.

That’s crazy

I don't think that was really a VAR issue per se, not like some of the offsides calls where a guy's toenail or armpit was a millimeter offsides. The player was clearly in an offsides position, there was no debating that. The question is, by being there and doing whatever he did (move his legs) did that interfere with the goalkeeper. I could see that going either way but he was right there in front of the keeper. I would think that would affect the goalie in some way.

Damn, I lost my source.

That was a dumb move.

NBC doesn't need Men in Blazers for NHL...they need a host as good as Rebecca Lowe.

I agree about Rebecca Lowe, she’s the best. But MiB/hockey could be great. I will definitely check it out.

 

[Jack Straw]

Speaking of Rebecca Lowe, anyone planning to go to PL Mornings Live in Philly? Seems weird that they’re having it at City Hall rather than Xfinity Live.

Already RSVPed.

I feel like most of the places they've gone have been outdoors and sort of "show off" the city...Xfinity Live doesn't really do that.

Makes sense. Although I think the one they had in Boston last year was at some kind of bar or restaurant.

It was, but it was on the Hahbah.

Juve/Milan Coppa Italia match tomorrow has been postponed.

I'm not sure Juve is gonna play anytime soon.

[Jack Straw]

I can't imagine that ever happening in this country. I suppose the TV networks wouldn't mind the leagues and teams would revolt.

watched some biathlon on the olympic channel. no crowds and some of the athletes waved at the empty stands, when they hit the finish line anyway.

That was Nové Město na Moravě, CZE. Our (clueless) prime minister decided to forbid the supporters to attend the event - he came up with that decision when there was 1 confirmed case in the country, while also confirming that sporting events played on stadiums (such as hockey, soccer) will not be regulated in any way. No other measures were taken in public transport and such (even though that would actually make at least some sense), that f***er just needed some PR points

(explaining all the swearwords against that guy would take a while)
