Re: Confederations Cup 2017 Russia

A bit "luck" in the final, but the other wins were fully deserved and nice to watch. Not comparable to our A team of course (or the A teams of Argentina, Brasil, Spain etc), but for Confed Cup standards it was still attractive. No it wasn't attractive by any means, unless you think that c...

Re: CL 1st qualifying round 2017-18, Jun. 27-28

This vlogger has picked up plenty of good footage from the Linfield game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1P1OpJSK1U There's a moment in there where the angry Linfield keeper destroys his water bottle by throwing it into the wall behind him. Nice,not the usual shaky cam but how difficult is to pro...

Re: Confederations Cup 2017 Russia

Awful Portugal on penalties. Hope Ronaldo is happy taking the 5th, it's not the first time this happens. What about ABBA order of taking penalties? What about VAR (there was a clear penalty for Chile)? ABBA order is limited to under age tournaments for the moment...about VAR,i thought the same,very...

Re: U21 Euro Poland 2017

Well played match from both teams,many opportunities to score,very entertaining. First 20 mins England were clearly better,taking risks also with many players up front,Germany without Stark were fragile in set pieces. But later on Germany seemed more compact to me and not relying so much in talent a...

Re: U21 Euro Poland 2017

4-2 at 91'...3 minutes to go !! red card for Portugal at 92' ... don't know why. The player (Jota) seemed to have no clue too.... free kick Portugal at 95' ... last chance. Nope. Game over. Slovakia stand with 6-3. Mean for us, a small defeat with one goal is enough to beat Slovakia or finish even ...

Re: Champions League Group Stage 2016/17 - General Thread

How can you like both Bosman and this?You want both clubs functioning as common companies with workers and also non profit organizations? Such a silly superficial comment. I'm not a lawyer, I'm not an accountant, and my English is limited. However, (unless yours was a rhetorical question) how can y...

Re: Champions League Group Stage 2016/17 - General Thread

A lawyer is suing Bayern Munich in Germany, because he says the club doesn't fulfil the requirements of being a registered society. A registered society's main reason of existence must be a ideationally one and not a commercial one. And Bayern Munich makes a lot of money. http://www.focus.de/sport/...

Re: Champions League Play-offs

I didn't see how and why, but De Rossi is sent out, Roma in 10. So Roma in Europa League. Again Italian clubs show their weaknesses in this round. we always lose here in the last years. So bar a disaster by Sassuolo, 4 italian teams in Europa League and 2 in Cl. High foot,hit him a bit under the kn...

Re: Rio 2016

Portugal vs. Germany about to start. Gonçalo Paciência starts on the bench, we'll play with Salvador Agra and Carlos Mané upfront instead. That's how we beat Germany last year, but not how we've been playing these Olympics. And what a chance for Portugal, great save by Horn! Do you have a link? No,...

Re: El 2016\2017 - Third qualifying round

^__ I did see the images on a bad resolution poor quality video. I think there should be advantage of course. Also, I know they recently changed rules for a foul denying a clear chance to score if made by the keeper; but I thought this was for cases where the keeper enters with the hands to catch t...

Re: Transfer Topic

There was 2 parts in the bosman judgement. The first one is that a player can leave for free a team at the end of the contract. It was already the case in some countries (including France) and, I think pretty anyone agrees with you and this rule. But there was a second point, and this is the point ...
