    Excellent thread on why Burnley are now very good.

    Rumours are Viera may be getting the sack and Kompany is on the list to replace him.

    Well Viera is gone, but I can't imagine Kompany wanting to jump ship to Palace when Burnley are gonna be coming up anyways

    Mitrovic, why take that red? It was clearly a handball, no need to argue it.

    I fail to understand why ESPN would pay for the US rights to LaLiga when they don't even plan on putting El Classico on ESPN main. Just Deportes.

    Like did they get paid by another league as some kind of backroom deal to make these games nigh impossible to watch in any public setting? Fucking hell.

    Because you want to subscribe to ESPN+.

    The funny part is, I do. Or rather I share my mom's Disney bundle. I'm watching the game right now, but I'm having to watch it in my hotel room on a Fire stick by myself instead of at a bar with some wings and a beer. I can't think the league wants this outcome, which is the removal of their marquee matchups from English-language television and casual public spaces.

    These used to occasionally bubble up onto actual OTA television here. Now I wasn't even able to get the previous matchup up on a TV in the sports book at any MGM property in Vegas. I'd assume that mayyyybe something like a Buffalo Wild Wings might be able to put it up, since I do believe it's on ESPN Deportes. But tons and tons of sports bars don't actually pay for all the Spanish-language packages.

    Would I give in and pay personally for ESPN+ if I didn't happen to have access to it through a family member? Honestly, at this point I might not.

    Also if we could put the round thing in the square thing that would be fuckin' great.

    Did they get their fees for the broadcast rights? Then they don't care where anybody can actually watch them. Did Disney get their subscription fee? Then they don't care if you're not at a sports bar with wings and beer. They already got paid, so actual audience numbers don't matter.

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL:
    Argentine goalkeeper Leandro Requena scored one of the most outrageous goals you are ever likely to see during his Cobresal side’s 3-1 win over Colo-Colo in Chile’s top soccer league.

    With his team already leading 2-0 in the 77th minute, Requena took what initially looked like a fairly innocuous goal kick.

    However, with Colo-Colo goalkeeper Brayan Cortés well outside of his penalty area, the ball bounced over his head and towards goal.

    To add to his embarrassment, Cortés stumbled as he tried in vain to chase the ball as it crossed the line.

    Ouch. At least in hockey, a goalie goal happens when the other team pulled theirs.

    B-Dubs would have it regardless because they need ESPN+ to air UFC PPVs.

    Tuchel to Bayern. Nagelsmann gone. That's what you get when the 11th title in a row seems a tiny bit shaky.

    Football is the best when the home side starts all their lower division guys due to the international slate and injuries, against the top team in the conference, and scores 6 goals and they’re all first career (4 players with first career goals) or first with team (Christian Ramirez with a brace in his first game with the Crew)

    I hope the rest of the season is as exciting as their first 2 home matches- I’ve been able to watch the Crew out score opponents 8-1, lol

    And to the surprise of exactly no one, Conte is gone from Spurs.

    Who wants to drink deep from that poisoned chalice next? Nagelsmann? Bielsa? Zidane? Big Sam?

    Rodri, the Spain captain, was less magnanimous in defeat as he criticised Scotland’s approach to the game. “We conceded easy goals,” he said. “This is football, if you concede easy goals you are penalised.

    “It’s the way they play, but for me it’s rubbish, always wasting time, provoking you, always they fall.

    “For me, this is not football. The referee has to take on this, but he says nothing.”

    Don't stop I'm so close

    Al Hilal (Omdurman) vs Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League starting soon, and the 60k stadium looks quite packed. Sudan v Egypt is always an exciting matchup.

    Edit: please don’t start with the laser bullshit.

    The Crew are 3-0 at home while outscoring opponents 12-1 in those matches

    Aidan Morris of “homegrown player” designation (so like a $27k salary) with 3 goals and 2 assists in the last 2 matches

    Cucho still ouchie and wondering how the Crew feels about his $3 million salary

    I'm beginning to think that Thomas Tuchel was not the brilliant tactician I thought he was.

    ... and Lampard is going to be finishing off the season for Chelsea.

    But I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine,
    I'll be fine, just give me a minute, a man's got a limit, I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.
