New documentary coming to Netflix about Argentina's Copa America. Pretty special and I'll be watching.

Can we talk about the England team selection?

Coady getting picked not based on his form, but because he has a massive influence in the dressing room? WTF? His form has been poor this season, yet he gets picked for being a hype man? Tamori wins the league with AC Milan, but doesn't get picked because of two bad games against Chelsea.

How did Philips get into the squad? He's hardly had any game time with Man City this season. JWP should have gone. I know JWP isn't a DM, but maybe Southgate should stop playing two DMs in the first place!

We'll be lucky to get out of the groups.

Ingurland!

‘England expects’

Basically don’t. And you’ll be fine.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I hate to sound negative but I'm watching the #1 vs the #3 women's teams play and they suck. It's like watching things in slow motion. Even by the standards of what I see, they miss passes, clear super easy opportunities, and when the announcer says "they're flying", it looks like a damn jog.

It's kind of amazing how poorly he's handling this. This could have been a really tricky situation for ten Hag to navigate and Ronaldo has basically made it as easy as possible for him. I doubt that interview is going to make him more appealing to other clubs because they'll now think he may do the same to them if he doesn't get his way. Wonder where he ends up. He's going to need a great World Cup performance.

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Damn i'm actually glad he left Real Madrid. He'd destroy atmosphere. And to think he even can't congratulate Benzema on winning ballon D'or. Shameful from him. Always rated him higher than messi but it's a disgrace how he's handling this whole situation and carrer's end...

 

[DKehoe]

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Appears Benzema may miss the world cup after an injury during training.

 

[Ashes]

Is there going to be a world cup thread?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Wow, officially ruled out now, Benzema.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Is there going to be a world cup thread?

I can make a thread but it won't be spectacular.

Watching Liverpool versus City. Liverpool has been fairly poor, but Joe Gomez makes me want to gouge out my eyes.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Entertaining match today (MC/LIV).

 

[Banjo64]

Liverpool fans throwing cups of piss and cups filled with coins at teenage girls - they should face a fan banning order, instead the UK media are scousewashing it as usual.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

You aren’t allowed to report on scummy liverpool fans though.

[Labadal]

Good first half versus Villa, but the second half was really scary. I'm happy that a youngster got a goal.

Unrelated, but Gakpo to Liverpool seems to be confirmed.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

2 easy PL games today for Chelsea and MCU. Suppose the City game will be no different.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Man City just woke up too and got a goal before half.

PSG is slow but they winning 1-0.

 

[DKehoe]

 

[DKehoe]

 

[LiquidMetal14]

2 own goals by the same guy lol

 

[LiquidMetal14]

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Manchester United/Wolves on now and Barcelona plays in 3 minutes!

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Pretty uneven first half for MU. Barcelona already up 1-0.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

They called him Erik Ten Months.

 

[DKehoe]

It’s been amazing seeing Rashford in this form.

Watching Leicester get smashed by everyone, including Nottingham forest is just depressing at this point.

Literally the Maegan Hall off the premier League at this point, everyone has smashed us.

What a weird turn of events. Banjo64 what's your thoughts on this?

Outgoings are always lead by the players - if he wants to go let him go, cant deny that I'm shocked and sad to lose, IMO, the best all round full back in the world.

Yeh I knew he had fallen out of favour a bit recently but he's so good and seems to work so well within Pep's system that I figured he would eventually play his way back into being an important first team player. What's been the issue wth him recently anyway? I know there's been rumours of him falling out with Pep and that Pep has said he has loved how Ake has been playing recently but I'd agree about Cancelo being the best all around fullback in the world so it's a surprise to see this.

It's all just speculation but based on past departures I'd say that it could be because of his mentality when he's rotated. Pep (and Arteta at Arsenal) want dropped players to prove their worth in training, if you choose to sulk about it you're out of the door.

It's just life. I wish him well at Bayern.

As for us; Ake can play the defensive left back role very well, which allows Rico to join the midfield from right back. It's an alternate version of Walker/Cancelo.

I bet on Everton and Wolves for shits and giggles.

I am a Liverpool fan.

Shame that Liverpool isn’t playing tomorrow. Would have loved to watch that at a pub before HSV-Heidenheim in the evening.
Oh well anyway, we need more football fans in here haha

 

[BigDeadFreak]

This was from the West Ham vs Chelsea game today.





The look on the lads face when he insults the old man. He thinks he's come up with the funniest one liner in history. Little did he know, Ben from East Enders was lying in wait.

 

[Banjo64]

On the bus on the way to see the Champions

[Nitty_Grimes]

Good old Colin.

 

[CortexVortex]

Just saw that PSG-Bayern is on prime in Germany. Fucking nice as I don’t have to go to a pub to watch it then.
I hate both teams but I am hoping for an extremely entertaining match.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

How did they not laugh at him...

 

[SirKicksalot]

Liverpoop

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Hillarious match. Hala Madrid.

Lineker tweeted this on Tuesday:




He's been told he has broken BBC's impartiality rules and has been taken off air. Ian Wright and Alan Shearer have stood down due to solidarity.
