OT: Soccer/Football Thread Part Two

[Appleyard]

Thanks.

How clear was the penalty, in your opinion? Looking it up myself now.

Clear as day.

My Dad was moaning but he cannot be objective.

Fernandinho clearly stopped the ball going over the line with his hand... and moved his hand to flick ball away.

Just watched highlights. Seems like Pulisic had a great game. Penalty and red was clear to me. DeBruynes kick was spot on, but im unsure why Kepa wasn't extended. I'm hoping its because he knew he wasn't gonna get there - because it definitely looked like he wouldnt, but this is gonna look bad for the people who are #KepaOut

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Just caught up on scores since my dvr scheduling didn't work.

@Appleyard - can you give me a run down of the game? Did we get lucky or was it fairly even (given your i jury hit squad)?

@Captain Dave Poulin - you're welcome. Chelsea continues their streak of awarding titles to teams.

lol

Yeh, it was a penalty. Basically made a save.

High quality glove save though. Oops wrong sport.

Ronaldo, you're really starting to piss me off.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

You're playing a man down Lecce side and you are tied at half. WTF.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Dybala!!!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

oh look, Ronaldo scored a PK.

This is my thread now.

4-0 EZ.

Ummm... Canal’s on 73 or Traino’s on Church Road. I’m not too well versed but those are the main liquor stores I’ll go to when I don’t just go after work to Roger Wilco.

Love stuff like this.

Has not played for them in almost 20 years... but came out of retirement to play for his childhood club.

He looked like he was 40 when he was still a teenager. Now that he is actually approaching 40... he still looks 40.

Neville Staple of The Specials is the best example of this for me.

He looked 40 at age 22. (1977)

And 40 at age 50. (2004)

And 40 at age 62. (2017)

Football is ruined because of Liverpool.

2020 is basically the result of them winning the league.

 

[Starat327]

So this nets out to Pjanic +17mil(potentially) for Arthur, if my math is correct?

The Mayans did warm that the world would end when Liverpool next won the title. They were right.

At least they cant go to Spain right now for a few more days to celebrate there..

Way more fun to watch that Pele... and the same era... and for a Benfica team that won 3x European cups was OVER a goal per game. 473 goals in 440 games for Benfica...

One of the best finishers ever.

Would have loved to be able to watch him in his prime.

The stuff he does in this video... in an era where ~75% of games were not ever taped... unreal. Like this highlight reel would be amazing for a modern day player who had 20 years of every single game in full to snip clips from.

Honestly. Just watch it. People talk about Pele, Maradona, Cruyff... but Eusabio should be in that conversation and is forgotten.

I stink at math so looks good to me.

So after dodgy companies bought Bury (a club with 134 years of history) and ran it into the ground while asset stripping (on purpose liquidating them in effect to make profit... as he has done with 43 other companies!)

Wigan go into administration four weeks after Hong Kong takeover

Wigan were bought 4 weeks ago... they had zero troubles until 2 years ago where a Hong Kong based company bought them, and 4 weeks ago sold them to a minority shareholder in the company... basically selling it to themselves in some ways when look into it.

There is pretty much no point to the EFL's "fit and proper person" tests.
