thanks surf. that goal is terribly swaggy but also horribly risky. you really need to be a kind of a sociopath and to not care one bit about whether people will hate your guts if you happen to miss it in cruchtime of an elimination game. and maybe the best thing about it is that he made it with his...

Also Aguero needs to be suspended for that. Cant have that. Not malicious but really condescending and disrespectful. Cannot condone that stuff.

its super strange how Rakitic decided to retire - just 8 months before the competition & out of the blue. he apparently just emailed Dalic and Savez, announcing his decision to retire. luckily, he's not in his best form and certainly not an essential asset for Dalic atm. I thought it was sudden but...

Inconceivable

I thought Croatia played well today. The squad is in a transition phase with Lovren, Vida, Modric, Rakitic (retired), Perisic all over 31, and the younger generation still settling. The Vida / Lovren partnership needs to be broken up, Caleta-Car is a better option. Vlasic is proving to be a good att...

Nothing wrong with a good ol fashioned toe bash

Yes SMS with a second half brace. Exciting, I didnt watch the match but was following the scores. His second goal was really special, always a fan of a good chip, but the angle and closeness of it made it outstanding. I cant believe he's still at Lazio. Congrats DA.

Spurs had better be careful because they are in danger of becoming watchable again, and Mourinho is perilously close to losing his reputation as a negative nelly. Its amazing how settled this team seems with all the new players. Reguilon feels like he's been with the club for ages. I watched Rats on...

Group A: Bayern Munich, Atlético Madrid, Salzburg, Lokomotiv Moscow Group B: Real Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, Inter, Monchengladbach Group C: Porto, Manchester City, Olympiakos, Marseille Group D: Liverpool, Ajax, Atalanta, Midtjylland Group E: Sevilla, Chelsea, Krasnodar, Rennes Group F: Zenit, Dortm...

Liverpool, Ajax, Atalanta, wow!

Rats dropped into group of death

Spurs looked coherent against Newcastle on Sunday, that's probably the best they've looked with the football in quite some time. Of course their finishing and it should be said the world class performance of the NUFC keeper kept it at 1-0 until the Dier handball. There was really a fluidity and spee...

my boy is totally psyched for bale (and immediately wants the jersey ... . Get him the yellow jersey, or even the green one. The home shirt looks horrible. imo It does look like Levy is backing Mourinho with funds. Smacks of desperation really. It makes me sad because he should have backed Poch ins...

My general feeling is that nostalgia is a toxic poison, almost never good in any context, at best harmless. It is inherently retrograde, and sprung from a vision of an imagined past that is based in fantasy. You pay (in this case, not much but still) for future performance, not past success. So what...

Beautiful https://twitter.com/ElevenSportsBEf/status/1304810736871501824 Fantastic. Also I've been meaning to come here and say that if you havent watched the highlights of the Faroe Islands v Malta match from the last Nations League round, what are you waiting for. Unfortunately you can only see t...

Missed both finals due to the fact that we were evacuated from our home because of wildfires (we're fine, our home is fine, our town is ok, although neighboring ones didnt fare as well), and we spent the week in a place with spotty internet. Sevilla and Bayern did the business. Professional jobs, bo...

what an absurdly entertaining match so far. Up until golazo from Gnabry, Lyon was maybe the better side. Hard to say because both teams are just a blur right now. Kudos to Lyon for being so absolutely fearless, Ekambi has been an absolute beast on the right side. Watching the first 15 min, I was th...

Serge Gnabry, five years in the EPL, 11 TOTAL appearances, one goal.

Poch passed over for another big opening, although I never really considered him for Barca because of his Espanyol ties. But still, very curious to see where he ends up, not a lot of obvious openings anymore.

they're just not up for it. like you say, so many bad touches, such stupid mistakes from being slow in the head. and too chicken really. poulsen could be fine up front if they'd swamp midfield like they should have done, but when everybody more or less keeps position he's hopeless as striker. Yes t...
