OT: Soccer/Football Thread

[Alex K]

Lol that's brutal

 

[Ruck Over]

Anyone watching Six Nations?

I was unaware that France is in a down cycle, their game in non-competitive with England. Ireland and England look like the teams to beat. Italy, as I explained to my wife, is a place holder to make scheduling easier (6 teams v 5 teams). Scotland and Wales seem like the 3rd adn 4th place competitors.

Rugby is great, rugby union is best. I enjoy the Six Nations game because I like rucking, and mauling, and ugly rugby, filled with knuckle dragging. It is fun to hit people, it's also nice to score tries, I've been told.

What a complete embarrassment this has been.

I was fortunate to be installing my girlfriends fireplace today and didn't have to watch it. I saw the first two and threw in the towel.

My only interest was hoping City would lose but I watched the whole thing and even I was embarrassed for Chelsea.

I never expected to win the league this year, just hoped for top 4, but at this point, even that seems like a pipe dream. Such a disappointing way to go about things.

Sarri really needs to come up with a plan B. He needs to understand that the delta in quality between teams here and serie a is much different. It's one thing to be able to have players stick to the plan and run circles around the scrubs at Parma or Genoa. You can't do that in the premiere league.

You watch a lot of Serie A?

You watch a lot of Serie A?

Not nearly enough to understand the nuances of the league, no. Enough to know that the lower teams are punching above their weight in most circumstances.

This has been boring.

Steve Nash doing commentary at the half.

[Hollywood Cannon]

Sweet dive, Costa.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Welp.

 

[Starat327]

I'm 1000% over Jorginho.

 

[Jack Straw]

Kyle Martino is looking a lot like the Wolfman these days.

 

[Starat327]

Tough game for liverpool today. Was really hoping that they could pull this out, because F city.

Salah needs to find that extra gear he had last year. He's making little mistakes this year that werent even a consideration last year.

Two guys on my FPL team missed penalties, including my captain.

Madrid’s gonna lose to Ajax
