Other Sports: Soccer/Football Thread Part Six

[Striiker]

Women's team is actually competitive.

In the same way that the 70s Flyers were

Who, coincidentally, would also get dominated by present day 15 year old boys.

 

[PDX Flyer]

Its not sexist to mention that like 5 people watch US womens soccer

Only like 10 people watch US mens soccer and they weren't the ones who lost to a u-15 boys soccer team

You are about to get booted from this thread

I'm guessing that the average American could name more players from the women's national team than the men's.

Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure I could name more players from the women's team than the men's.

I definitely could. The men's team is average at best with no real superstar. Pulisic is good. So is Reyna. Noone else has broke through though.

 

[Striiker]

I don't think anyone outside of their 5 viewers could name any player on the team for on-pitch reasons.

I need a Football thread where Fifa merchants aren't allowed in, STAT

This is honestly embarrassing from the PL. I know these things are linear and theres nuance, but i can only assume that the City investigation is taking so long because they are trying to amass how many breaches constitute a direct relegation to league one.

Everton handed 10-point penalty for FFP rule breach

I think that is definitely part of it, also City has stopped cooperating unlike Everton. There is buzz from those that follow this that both City and Chelsea might get relegated after what happened to Everton.

I would be surprised if Chelsea were relegated. My understanding is that the new owners reported the issues that occurred under the previous ownership. So it seems they’re cooperating. I’m not sure how much it matters that the alleged misdeeds were carried out by the previous owners rather than the current ones but it seems like more leniency would be appropriate in Chelsea’s case.

Edit: More than in City’s case that is.

Haaland vs Championship teams for a full year would be fun to watch

Russia played Cuba in a friendly?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Ffs nobody tucks.

 

[Starat327]

Russia played Cuba in a friendly?

They arent allowed to partake in any Fifa or UEFA sanctioned events, so they have to find the one team that'll play nice with them. Probably had to pay Cuba to play them, to be honest.

Are the 300 clips of him I’ve seen misleading? Is he actually a real player? What’s going on here?

 

[Striiker]

Dest just had a meltdown in the USA game

Mad at a call, punts the ball into the stands, curses out the ref, teammates try to calm him down, blows a kiss to the ref, keeps yelling, gets a red card for it, and multiple teammates are yelling at him as he goes off.

Trinidad immediately scores afterwards too.

What an entertaining trainwreck.

Yeah I put two and two together. Just wild to see the Cuban National team travel to Russia for a friendly.

What noise? I'm listening to Christmas music.

Havent had a chance to dig much, but hearing Spurs may be in trouble for the Defoe transfer? or is that a gag.

It's something about using an unlicensed agent during the transfer.
