Other Sports: Soccer/Football Thread Part Six

Toe, you must be very young. He played for Spurs .

Don't care. Favorite midfielder to watch.

 

[TCTC]

I love Modric

He's a phenomenon. Still looks like he hasn't aged one bit.

I’d be shocked if he didn’t play in the next World Cup

Yeah, I can see that. He's already said he'll play the next Euro. In his 40's I can easily see him play for a club in Italy where the game is a bit slower and more tactical.

If you need a pick me up after that game, Liverpool fans...

 

[FLYguy3911]

Serie A just might f*** around and win this thing.

I could see it. Napoli is that good and Real cant cruise to a first place finish in Liga this year.

I'd actually really enjoy a Napoli Real Final. Which means they'll play each other next round.

I love watching Napoli play. That kid from Georgia had a sweet backheal on the second goal. He has superstar written all over him

 

[FLYguy3911]

They are surprisingly deep up front too.

 

[trostol]

i need off on a Saturday to watch some Serie A

 

[BigToe]

They’re gonna make Benfica money off those guys.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Yeah idk what they are going to do. EPL money talks, but they are going to win Serie A and have a legit shot at UCL this year and maybe next year too with everyone under contract through at least 2024 (i think). Can't see them selling Kvara, but Osimhen I guess they could part with for the right price. Kim Min Jae too could probably bring in a haul if they want to sacrifice defense.

I think this may be part of the problem though. If you win both this year, the desire to "challenge themselves" ( aka make more money) may have even more allure. There are few players these days who feel tethered to a club for life.

I dont think Delaurentiis let's Kvara go any time soon. Osimhen I could see going but Napoli is gonna absolutely get paid on that one.

 

[Starat327]

Way to go, Big Rom!

 

[Starat327]

Barcelona out of Europe again? What a shame.

Barcelona out of Europe again? What a shame.

Look at who they played.... didn’t have a chance

 

[Starat327]

Calm down. You're still playing in europa.

 

[PDX Flyer]

Calm down. You're still playing in europa.

I’ll save this for next season, if they even make it,

 

[Starat327]

I assume you mean Chelsea here? And spoiler: we wont.

Watching matchday 1 of MLS on Apple and it's absolutely atrocious.

No idea what MLS was thinking here, going all in on a streaming service. I'm certainly never signing up for this shit.

Oh, right....all games are only broadcasted on Apple TV now, right? No wonder I couldn't find the union game earlier. Great business model for a league trying to grow

What did you find bad? I'm not a fan at all of putting the games behind a paid streaming service, but I thought the actual production was very good.

 

[Starat327]

The ref lost this game in the first 25 minutes. It's going to get really ugly from here on out, and then be decided by a bunch of "catch up" calls.

 

[Starat327]

And there it is.

 

[Starat327]

Congrats @Jack Straw ! Keep pushing to knock united put of third!
