OT: Soccer/Football Thread

[Chinatown88]

Good start for Man U.

VAR is having the same issues as offside challenges in the NHL.

 

[Jack Straw]

Unbelievable. Stole a point there but I’ll take it.

 

[YEM]

Can var be the best and the worst?
It can!
Point stolen indeed!

I never understood handballs that are clearly unintentional anyway. It’s so stupid.

 

[Jack Straw]

I actually had 2-2 on the NBC Sports pick ‘em app, so thank you again VAR.

 

[BritainStix]

I hate Pogba.

 

[Starat327]

De gea is the legit most overrated keeper of all time

 

[Ruck Over]

Crystal Palace's moment inthe sun is pretty amazing to behold.

 

[Starat327]

Lol arsenal.

Who was it that was excited about Luiz, again?

 

[Jack Straw]

This is a perfect way to word this because after about 6 games, you'll be prefacing it with "we really needed a defender, but instead.."

Maybe not even 6.

 

[Starat327]

Maybe not even 6.

Thank you for not making me go to search for it.

Adding Luiz was like using duct tape to fix a hole in the bottom of a boat
The boat still might float, but it’s going down

Adding Luiz was putting a bigger hole in the boat.

Absolutely brutal game by Spurs yesterday. Painful to watch. No idea why Poch wouldn't start Eriksen against a team that you had to expect would park the bus like that.

trying to show the owner they need to extend Eriksen at any cost?

This is the only thing that makes sense to me, as well. I feel awful for Spurs fans if they cant pull something out of this season. Perhaps he's more loyal than I think, but if Levy lets Eriksen go over money (within reason, obviously), i can't see Poch sticking around after this season.

I guess that makes sense, in a screwed up kind of way.

 

[Ruck Over]

Even with Eriksen on the bench, there should be plenty of talent on the Spurs roster to beat Newcastle. Like, for real... and to give up the goal they did on the counter, just weak sauce. Where's Vertogen been at?

THAT"S SO SPURSY! (I thought we were done with that. Not yet it seems.)

 

[Starat327]

Likelihood that Mens player of the year goes to the correct recipient (VVD)?

 

[Starat327]

Also, Sky Sports is the worst.

It’s going to Messi.

Ive seen Leo do interviews in half decent english before - odd that he wasnt able here.

 

[Curufinwe]

Can VVD get one clean sheet before the international break... my FPL team could use it.
