do we accept zizou as a great coach now? this title should convince anybody yet i'm still scratching my head ... Speaking as someone who hasnt watched a ton of La Liga. I think the pause really helped their older squad. Zidane is obviously very adept at managing the egos involved in that squad, and...

I bought a Atalanta t-shirt, wearing it today. I was away on vacation for the big match against Juve, which they drew after a late hand ball. But now up to second in Serie A. Put 6 past Brescia this week.

What a fine team Atalanta. I forgot to post that I watched the come from behind victory against Lazio, thrilling, and since then, they've continued to win and score and score. Top scoring team in Europe. With CL a one-legged tie, they could do something. Honestly one of the only things to look forwa...

Werner had a nice match winner against Augsberg. Good touch, strength to hold off the defender, and the torque to twist himself and solid shot well aimed into corner. It was nice to see Kane score, he showed some pace to hold off the defenders and solid finish. He's just not seeing many touches in J...

First Dortmund goal was delicious, sorry Lutz

Timo Werner to Chelsea, ugh

Second game back, and already a David Luiz howler. I do not understand teams employing him as a CB, he one of the most error prone defenders Ive ever seen. Great match between BATE and Shakytor the top two teams in Belarus. BATE was playing at home but Shakytor scored first, and then BATE gradually ...

Well they look better against Hoffenheim

Watched the Rats today. Pretty dire. Pretty pretty dire. I guess its just rust, as Hertha were only a smidge better imo. Let's see, a terribly defended corner by the Rats to concede the first. If Upemecano takes a half step forward he couldve prevented the goal. Just completely frozen, didnt move at...

slutsk, man, that name caught me off guard :lol: thanks for the extensive reporting surf, i feel as if i watched the games myself ! you took one for the team ! kidding aside, belarus league is a not among the stronger eastern european leagues. like moldova - they have just one super strong team and...

Watching a bunch of Belarus League last few weeks. Only in Week 5 now so its fun watching a table develop from the almost beginning. Initial impressions are that no surprise its a pretty low quality league, probably at English League 2 level. Some of the stadia are minuscule: Slutsk's stadium has a ...

Bundesliga games still on for this weekend? One last set of fixtures before league is suspended on Tues. Liga MX is still on. A-League is having matches too. Should be some football to watch this weekend at least.

Wow Mikel Arteta just tested positive. Everything is grinding to a halt, there will be no professional sports for a while. I can pretty much guarantee you Euros arent happening this year. No one could stop Liverpool this year, except for the coronavirus. (And Athleti, who are kind of like a virus in...

no Tottenham midfielder has scored in the Premier League or Champions League since Moussa Sissoko (!) in December.

No structure, no shape, no spirit, no snap, no soul

no miracle this year

leipzig are a legitimately good team (unlike spurs from last year, who had desire and luck (VAR) and some good finishing)

with soccer world in disarray, they could go on a deep run

José Mourinho called one of Southampton’s backroom staff “an idiot”, accused the St Mary’s ballboys of being coached to waste time, said VAR should be rebranded as the true referee, and said Ndombele is always injured; Harry Kane is out 6-8 weeks to a hamstring injury in a dispiriting 1-0 defeat to...

I watched the InterMiami debut last night as a curiosity, and because I enjoy watching LAFC. Vela's a special player, I'm a sucker for a chipped goal. The best part of the whole move might be the first, chesting into into space and running on to it before fighting off two defenders. MLS MVP. https:/...
