Other Sports: Soccer/Football Thread Part Six

[kudymen]

There is an actual TV channel simply broadcasting the München fans sitting and chatting about the PSG Bayern game with just the live score in the upper left corner - instead of the game itself

Watching PSG is like watching a corporate Disney movie. No soul, no passion, and everyone involved is just in it for the money.

Davies got Messi's blouse.

In the lead up to the World Cup he was overly excited at the prospect of swapping shirts with Messi, though the path for Canada to meet Argentina was extremely unlikely even before the first ball of the tournament was kicked.

I feel like a broken record, but yet again, the soccer Spurs are playing right now is just brutal to watch and completely ineffective.

I am not excited for UCL.

Jk. Serie A >>>.

I forgot they were playing. Glad I missed it.

Spurs haven't had a game with 2 xG since October, including 5 under 1 xG.

Granted, the World Cup was in there too, but still.

Grealish is such a whiny little rat. Can't stand him.

 

[Striiker]

The diving in this sport is so pathetic

 

[Halladay]

City is winning the league, again.

 

[Curufinwe]

Arteta screwed up benching White.

 

[Halladay]

Dortmund have scored.

 

[TCTC]

Arteta screwed up benching White.

White has been out of form recently. Decision to play Tomiyasu instead was understandable. First goal was bad, but shit happens. Second goal was bad luck.

 

[kudymen]

Nice goal Borussia after good chances by Chelsea. This half is way more interesting so far

 

[BigToe]

Don’t really like sports tbh

 

[Starat327]

Work sucks and i missed most of this game. Unfortunate.

Toe, I was warning you. The Arsenal swoon in February/March is a yearly occurrence.

 

[Starat327]

Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting much, but Felix has looked pretty fantastic in his limited games. There's noone else on the team bar James and Enzo who has his vision and creativity. I dont want to make a snap judgement but if he keeps playing like this, it's be hard to not explore bringing him in.

The probpem will be making room for him. So many players qho can play behind a striker but no actual strikers.

Still kinda surprised by how little Reyna's been used (didn't play a single minute tonight) because post-World Cup he's been looking pretty good as a sub.

Six games, subbed in withing the last 30 min 3 times and scored a goal in all three, started once, didn't play at all in two.

I assume there's a reason I'm missing but oh well, whatever works. And I know about the health issues but that was back in October and he seems to be healthy right now.

What's his xGF% rel?

So we decided to head to London mid-March. I looked and there are four premier league games within close proximity and was wondering if any would be worth trying to see. I watch the Union and WC, but don't really pay any attention to any other league. Would it be dumb to go? Obviously the CP v MC game would be the best, but it seems like all these games are impossible to get tickets to. Looks like you have to be a club member to have any chance of getting tickets. I did check some resale sites, but don't fully understand it. The below is for the Hotspur V. Nottingham match. They don't really tell you where you're sitting, they just have the entire section highlighted.

Here are the four matches that will be played while we're there and close to where we're staying.

Tottenham	V	Nottingham	3:00 PM​	Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England
Crystal Palace	V	Manchester City	5:30 PM​	Selhurst Park, London, England
Sunday, March 12th 2023
Fulham	V	Arsenal	3:00 PM​	Craven Cottage, London, England
West Ham United	V	Aston Villa	3:00 PM​	London Stadium, London, England

Yes. It's absolutely worth going to. The atmosphere ( I'm told. One day I'll experience it myself) is unlike anything youve experienced.

Of those games, the most competitive would be Fulham v Arsenal. West Ham probably has the best atmosphere of those teams, though the Fulham supporters are also no joke, and the team is much better positioned. Tottenham has the newest and probably nicest stadium of the bunch.

Fulham has the added benefit of being a short walk to Stamford bridge as well, if making me jealous is high on your list.

Sweet. The wife brought it up, so hopefully it's something we do. She'll be getting in on Saturday from Amsterdam and I'll be getting in Saturday morning on a red eye, so the Sunday game might work out better. Now to try and figure out how to get tickets
