20% possession, three shots on goal, win 3-0: [Football/Soccer]

Santa Claustrophobia

MLS is excited to announce that they are now $500 million richer thanks to selling yet another expansion franchise. Starting in 2025 San Diego will have a team.

There's nothing I hate more than internet circle-jerks over design criticisms.

Which is to say, they've announced the 2026 world cup branding and people are critical:



It's fine. Good even. And I'd bet a million dollars there isn't a design imaginable that people wouldn't criticize. Hating on design choices is the easiest, laziest, worst take ever.

Spurs gonna Spurs.

Hey now, nothing in the Laws of the Game that says a dog can’t play football.

98th minute equaliser. Of course.

That’s your Forest staying up. Big old cheer echoed over the Trent to our house at the final whistle.

And City have won the PL to the sound of a collective shrug.

Back in the 00's when I was first getting into football and would meet up with other local Seattle people from the forums for matches, we were all City fans. I just randomly picked them at the time, they hadn't even won anything big yet. But years went on, the group aged and fell apart, I switched to focusing on the MLS and the Sounders, but hearing the news of another City trophy, me from the past slightly rises, to say "yay".

Also I think I still have a city scarf in the closet somewhere.

All the most douchebag fans I interact with are all Arsenal fans. So to see all the shit they talked early in the year end with a loss to should probably have been relegated Nottingham Forest.

*Chefs kiss*

Always fun to look back at

For all of the movie/TV money that get's funneled into Vancouver, the Whitecaps pitch looks like absolute worn down shit.

Leipzig beating Bayern and maybe costing them the title is a bit like the football version of the onion's "worst person you know makes a good point"

Pellaeon

Dammit, SO CLOSE to a Leicester smash and grab at the end there.

Newcastle must have hit the post at least 3 times.

far too many people on my tl acting as if Newcastle is some underdog story

absolutely sickening example of how sportswashing actually works

Bundesliga is sort of exciting, Dortmund up by 2 going into the last week with each of the leaders playing a mid-table club.

Only Hertha guaranteed to go down and Vfl Stuttgart in the driver seat after their win over Bayern on the weekend.

A final day with meaning at both ends of the table.

I know nobody has claimed Ted Lasso to be realistic but they really nailed it with the protagonists going on a 16 game win steak yet still being a point behind Manchester City.

I was so confused by them showing the Emptyhad full of people that I completely missed that detail.

Watching this manU Chelsea match in the futile hope that united somehow drop all 3 points.

Martial is having a stinker, but fortunately for him Gallagher has been even worse the other way, muffed or missed every chance, slipped multiple times, just a masterful display of incompetence

Tav

yeah lets not put ted lasso stuff in here outside of spoiler tags

I kinda want this, just because I'm heading to Old Trafford for the last match of the season and I'd like it not to be a dead rubber.
OTOH - lol Chelsea, lmao

Tav

that no look pass from casemiro into sancho was some real chef's kiss shit

Chelsea well on their way to being the most expensive relegated squad ever next season.

What a farce

A Kobold's Kobold

New title for the league everyone will be watching, I’m sure

Not mentioned: Union Berlin and SC Freiburg are sitting on 59 points, and only one of them gets to play in the Champions league. Also, if some freak accident occurs, Leverkusen could miss out on European football to Wolfsburg, but this is unlikely since both teams are facing bottom-table clubs.

Happy anniversary to the platonic ideal of the sound of mass delirious joy.

Speaking of joy. Ajax's women's team just won the national title. They're not allowed to celebrate publicly though because the men's team doesn't have a title to celebrate so now "morale is too low" in the club

Sigh, at a bar trying to watch thorns on *checks notes* paramount+?

I appreciate the effort to make more games available on all of the eleventyseven streaming services, but experiencing a bar in a major metro with lag, stutter, and asynchronous tv streaming in general is just ...this is the future eh?

Oof

I watch a number of Spurs game at a Spurs bar here and the streaming games is really a game of find the TV with the least lag.

I like to sit at the bar, but that can be impractical in a streaming world.

Tav

well that's not good for dortmund

honovere

Now it's still not good but at least not quite as bad.

Now it's getting existing for Bayern!
Edit:
Aaahhh!

Ooof. Well now it's bad.

Who likes football anyway

good lord the control from Adebayo before the Luton goal

looked like someone playing fifa

CaptainBeyond

I had a good Football Manager save with Coventry once so I hope they can turn this around

honovere

Drama at Bayern anyway. Salihamidzic and Khan are out. Khan wasn't even allowed to travel to Cologne for the game today.

Tav

i fucking hate penalties

i don't support either team and i was tense as shit watching that

Tav

lol lmao

Bogart

Looks like we’re going to end the season on the receiving end of a right kicking.

Bogart

Liverpool ending the season in style as well.
