I hate these hypocrite American owners. They won't invest in the lower tier leagues here that want to operate in an open system but don't mind investing overseas

FIFA on its BS

 

[rolaholic]

Miss that man and all his class so much

 

[rolaholic]

Got no clue wth England has done lately to be ranked in the top 5 man , FIFA/Coca Cola rankings have been head scratching for as long as I can remember

 

[champcruthik]

I'm all for the Noni props but inject that Mo Ihattaren hype into my veins, too.

Remember when the USMNT was ranked No. 4 going into the '06 World Cup?

Remember when the USMNT was ranked No. 4 going into the '06 World Cup?

Never forget. Alot of hyped players on that team Oguchi Onyewu, Jimmy Conrad, Casey Keller, Claudio Reyna, failed bundesliga Donovan

Saw this on the NYTimes and couldnt agree more. This sums up the global fenomenon

“It's very much worth noting that a big part of Maradona's enduring global appeal is that he was always, always ALWAYS proud to be of and for the working class, the racially derided, the regionally marginalized, etc. Unlike a Ronaldo, Zidane or Messi he never seamlessly transitioned from a poor upbringing to the tastes and politics of the global rich. And it was meaningful too that he looked thoroughly like an indigenous American. It was meaningful that as the best player in the world he chose to play for Napoli, in a region of Italy that was the target for vile racial and class-based abuse to the point that in the 1990 world cup held in Italy, many Neapolitans chose to support Maradona's Argentina instead of their nominal home country. He was consistent in his left-wing politics too. It's not that his global fans thought he was a particularly informed, eloquent or useful spokesperson for those ideas. It's that for someone of his brilliance to remain proudly one of the marginalized means something dear to millions if not billions across the globe.”

Also another one that i enjoyed

Maradona carried the spirit of the Global South

Friend of the downtrodden, enemy of imperialism: Diego Maradona transcended football to become a ‘voice for the voiceless’.

VAR awards Brighton the pen in injury time!

Robertson followed through on Welbecks foot trying to clear the ball out of the box

Welp, Groß ties it up late

Gonna be tough for 'Pool dropping the W in extra time after having 2 goals called off for offsides earlier and the earlier pen save from Allison

 

[rolaholic]

Tbf to the refs, all those VAR calls were correct

 

[LA Diggler]

Klopp said it’s up there with Chris Wilder

Can’t wait for the next Liverpool-Sheffield United match

 

[champcruthik]

On current form, can’t name 5 EPL players better than Bruno & Jota.
