Other Sports: Soccer/Football Thread Part Six

@Striiker congrats.

Now for another all German final at Wembley.

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I mean, how is this even possible?



How many people could even throw a ball and have it come back to them like that, let alone kick it.

Players like Ronaldinho don't exist anymore. Even a guy like Vinicius Jr. who's probably the closest to that player today doesn't have that wow factor.

Lol thanks but I’m not sure which is the scarier opponent

Obviously we’re the underdogs but in a single game anything can happen.

 

[Striiker]

Damn, they bookmarked everything, huh?

This Sportico list is wild: World’s 50 Most Valuable Soccer Clubs 2024 Rankings



The Union play 17 MLS home games and only brought in $72 MM in revenues last year. The Flyers brought in $219 MM with the dubious TV contract and favorable arena situation. Forbes had them at 1.65 B last summer after a more than unusual 32% YOY increase.

I’m not a US soccer is a sleeping giant person, but the Union being #4 in city popularity in my lifetime feels very much on the table. That doesn’t happen in big American cities.

Only time Man U will be atop a table.

And the Union will likely also get a viewership boost in the near future because of Cavan Sullivan and the next World Cup.

It would help a lot if the games were more accessible on TV. I have Apple+ but that doesn't include MLS and I'm not going to pay extra for it.

Yup, they’re really doing everything possible to lose viewers. I just watch pirated streams.

I think these guys have been watching too much "The NBA on TNT".

Kane's curse is real

 

[FLYguy3911]

What a choke.

 

[Starat327]

Can take the man out of Spurs....

 

[TCTC]

Joselu. What a career that man's had. Feels like it was yesterday when I watched him play for a midtable team fighting relegation and not really being impressed. And now he's playing for Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

I hadn't heard of this so I tried doing some searching and found a lot of "gonna hammer them" references. I'm assuming it's rumored to be a west ham thing?
