[Football/Soccer] Thread about kickin' balls

it would be pretty funny if Kepa ended up with a Champions League winners medal

I expect Arsenal to go out tonight, it's Arsenal and they are very disappointing this season. However, if they make it through, we could have all English CL and Europa finals. Weird new money (CL final) and old money (Europa final) narrative there too.

Hahaha, ABC just letting a clear "Fuck Seattle" chant run on live TV

Sure is nice of the MLS to allow both teams to wear green.

(Very irrelevant MLS thing)

Welp guess I have season tix for Columbus South Carolina now

I don't know why the Crew are fucking with their brand after the whole Save the Crew saga. Just seems stupid.

looks like a bunch of journalists there with the giant fuck off DSLRs so even less fans than the video would make you think

Two days ago: Glad Chelsea is playing Leicester City Tuesday so they can beat them and Liverpool can jump Leicester for that 4th spot.

Today: Glad Leicester City is playing Chelsea Tuesday so they can beat them and Liverpool can jump Chelsea for that 4th spot.

Tomorrow, likely: It doesn't matter, Liverpool lost to Man Utd.

Speaking of MLS, Altidore and Bradley each scored in Toronto’s win over Columbus South Carolina

That’s so MLS

I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how good Austin FC have looked so far. I wasn’t able to watch the game at the weekend, just the previous three, but they look freaking relentless. Just very good in the build up and attack.

A few years before the Minnesota North Stars moved to Dallas they removed the 'north' from their name because the owner intended to move the team and figured it'd be easier to keep everything the same without needing to change anything but a mailing address.

So, a move to South Carolina is probably actually on the cards.

ESPN+ to add La Liga to their offerings. I found this quote humorous from their own article on the matter

The eight-year La Liga rights agreement adds to the lineup of soccer on ESPN+, which includes Spain's Copa del Rey, the German Bundesliga, MLS, England's FA Cup, English Football League (EFL) and Carabao Cup, Dutch Eredivisie, Scottish Premiership, UEFA National Team Football and the United Soccer League.

Somehow Serie A got left our of their own hype packet, despite the headline of ESPN's main soccer page regularly reporting on the latest minutiae of Serie Ronaldo.

Anyway, loathe as I am to give Disney any more money, that's basically everything BUT the premier league. If they somehow wrest the premier league from NBC and have all the footballs I might finally have to give in.

I'd rather shave my head with a cheese grater and chew on tinfoil than sign up for an external service to watch ~2 games a week.

Captain Inertia

I should watch more football

Does ESPN+ come with Disney?

Carpy

I think it's like an extra $3 for the Disney, Hulu, ESPN bundle

Captain Inertia

I think I have that, nice

These matches are all on at like 5pm EST right

MLS is normal US sports times

Euro stuff is usually the last match starts around 2/3 Eastern but you can watch replays later

Serie A is moving over to CBS next season, which is why it wasn’t included.

I swear they just got the rights like yesterday, but I guess it was 2018. I guess the soccer league broadcast shuffle continues, sigh.

Watching last weekend's replays from the Scottish Cup. Loving this Dundee v. Hibs match-up.

Bogart

FA Cup day, homps. I have watched no more than three hours of build up so far.

Bogart

So nice hearing an actual crowd.

Chanus

Fantastic.

Chanus

that was a much more entertaining second half

Bogart

It’s lovely to see the players all obviously very fond of the club owner.

Chanus

just switched over to NYCFC vs Toronto right in time to see Toronto's keeper get kicked square in the nuts

Chanus

now Toronto's keeper just punted it straight into the back of the head of an opposing player and the ball went in the net but the whistle had already blown

MLS is a fuckin hoot you guys

missed the cup final to watch our league match and sure this wasn't a bad goal either

Congrats to Leicester! Really happy for them.
