OT: Association Football Thread III (All Soccer Talk Here!)

[Machinehead]

I swear, if United luck into a CL spot from finishing 5th because of City being DQ'ed, and Woodward gets another summer at the helm of orchestrating transfers without a DOF...

Don't do it. Tank for 10th and get people fired imo.

 

[nyr2k2]

FFP is a broken system. Should be scrapped.

Manchester City's 2014 title may be stripped due to back-dated points deduction

You know what that means...

That's Melwood Dr, Liverpool L12 8SY, United Kingdom. Yes, two of them. Thanks.

If anything it will be vacated like Juve's title after Calciopoli

Juventus' punishment wasn't a retroactive points deduction. Nobody had more points than them in 04-05. This would give Liverpool more points.

It would feel weird if this ended the drought, but since we're winning it anyway, I'll f***ing take it.

 

[darko]

Hahaha. f*** City.

Also f*** Liverpool, just because.

There is no such thing as tanking in soccer/football. Finishing 5th or 10th won't really matter regarding the decision people will get fired or not anyway.

Finishing below dreck like Everton and Burnley versus competing for Europe absolutely makes a difference.

Both should be enough for that entire organization to be sent to jail.

Does that mean we won the FA Cup final last year? I was at that match, and I'd much rather have a forfeit win!

From what I understand, the violations being investigated are from 2012-2016, so no.

How City are getting in trouble for 2012-2016 and not the last four years where they've spent significantly more is beyond me.

UEFA president says Liverpool will win PL even if season fails to resume

Please just let me have this.

 

[Machinehead]

Kloppo is holding practices on Zoom and he fines you if you sign in late.

When football comes back, we're gonna be like a big cat ready to pounce.

 

[Machinehead]

Premier League to meet as government backs return 'as soon as possible'

 

[Salzig]

The German government has just allowed the Bundesliga to resume in late May.

 

[nyrmetros]

Yes been watching the Bundesliga.

What's the MLS plan?

 

[Machinehead]

 

[nyrmetros]

How's the Major League Soccer tournament going?

 

[Machinehead]

How's the Major League Soccer tournament going?

NYCFC advanced to the knockout round and Red Bull didn't, so fantastic.

 

[I Eat Crow]

There really needs to be a promotion/regulation system put into place between the MLS and USL. It just makes too much sense. I'm going to be a NY Cosmos supporter. f*** the Red Bulls. The organization has had a losing stench since the MLS started 25 years ago. I'm done with them. I'll never be a NYCFC supporter as long as the primary stakeholders are the same as City's.

 

[nyrmetros]

Portland made the MLS final?

 

[Machinehead]

City once again reminded that they're not one of the measuring sticks in this game. You can't buy that.

Forget Liverpool or United, you're not even Chelsea.

 

[Machinehead]

 

[Machinehead]

I don't even think it's been 10 games but I am D-O-N-E with NYCFC's new coach.

They're not just bad, they're boring bad. Like, hard-to-watch boring.

Every game they play is like watching the Rangers series against Carolina.

 

[Synergy27]

So, uh, Bale back to Spurs. I mean, ok. Is it possible that I can be 30 again too?
