damn neymar didn't even show up to celebrate with the fam?

He didn't get the team any further than they've already been before he got there.

We don't need him tbh. He's nothing but a big name to put us in the convo with other top clubs.

Nasser and Emery are some **** for letting dude disrespect the club like this

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Emery gets no blame (he is completely powerless in this scenario), this is all Nasser...

plans for new NYCFC soccer specific stadium leaked. BX Stand up!!

Tuchel apparently is next up to take charge at PSG, I wonder how that will work out with Neymar.

All of these mid season vacations and skipping out on big games is a trash look from him. The guy is amazing to watch play but his attitude is worse than anything I've seen in pro sports.

This is like the AI "practice" interview... But in reverse...

What happened to Paco Alcacer?

One of the biggest crimes here in the states is lack of affordable housing. The UA founder here in Baltimore has bought up tons of real estate around the city & he's putting up some outrageously expensive luxury apartments with almost no affordable housing.

Singapore has a population north of 5 mil (greater prefecture) & 80-85% of it's residents live in remarkable public housing... Truly a model city (even though it doesn't enjoy all of the freedoms it should have)...

Singapore is so dope, the architecture there has always been next level.I want to visit Gardens by the Bay

Singapore is one of my favorite places on Earth. The US feels 4th world after spending time there.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Funny the deplorable in chief bristles at the thought of a global economy & there is Singapore absolutely thriving on it.

I hope NYCFC's partners does come through with the affordable housing. They can thrive if they reach out to all those BX kids in that area

Footy wise, pilot programs should be introduced into at least a handful of urban - inner cities... There's a ton of talent that could be had.

Different circumstances but here in Bmore, there is a HBC Morgan St... When they introduced lacrosse as a team sport in the school back in the early 70s, they were beating well established programs & nationally ranked teams like Harvard & Notre Dame. White folks were heated. Most of these kids on these teams came from Baltimore City (some from DC & Philly) who had never played the sport before.

That could easily be done with footy...

Give me Lewa now and Mbappe in a few years instead of this dude

Once the vets age and retire/leave and he has nobody to check him, particularly CR7, he’s going to go in to final form **** boy and set an awful example for the rest of the guys. Keep him away from Vinicius.

need Vinicius to stay away from Neymar's bad habits, Marcelo and him are cool so when he gets here, he'll be under his wing.

smh neymar
was supposed to follow the footsteps of messi
psg has created a monster

someone on psg has to man up eventually and set neymar straight.
thiago silva needs to sit him down

why would he listen to any of them?

 

[jape]

why would he listen to any of them?

thiago silva is the captain no?
i would think he would have some respect for his fellow countryman who's been doing it

but yeah i guess your right. if jesse can go to reggaeton concerts whenever he wants what is really stopping neymar?

 

[PRIME]

He wouldn't.

Isn't Neymar the captain of the Brazil national team? He doesn't feel like he has to answer to anyone

remember how Captaincy doesn't mean much outside the UK, Neymar was the real captain the moment they paid 250 mill for him

Interesting fact about Somali pirates... It started bcs European & Asia companies dumping toxic waste off the coast of Africa... killed the fish off so the Somalis started attacking these boats. They ended up going to the war lords for weapons & they were like "hol up"... let’s rob these fools & hold them hostage... it started out with them trying to protect their livelihoods.

Back to footy, I’m surprised more teams aren’t interested in Huddersfield’s Robert Wagner. I rate him a lot higher than sam dyche (hoof it footy) & eddie howe. He’s done so much more with significantly less than either of those 2.

Homey is getting a £1.3 mil bonus for keeping Huddersfield up. His contract runs thru 2019 but it sounds like the team is quickly trying to get him an extension.

His team plays the kind of football like his BF Klopp but better defensively...

yo just want to give a shout out to rafa benitez on reviving newcastle, pretty strong bounce back into becoming a mid table team immediately after being promoted.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Speaking of which, there are rumors that he might be targeted for the Arsenal job...

 

[130122]

I think that would not be a good move. Arsenal is a fire in a wastebin at the moment and the iminent failure of the squad would fall solely on benitez’s shoulders. He doesn’t deserve to be under that type of pressure and arsenal fans deserve new ownership as kroenke is just terrible

Yeah... but it’s still better than Newcastle

Taking the job at Arsenal is still less stressful than fighting relegation. Despite the dumpster fire at the emirates, he has a higher chance of success with that arsenal squad

 

[130122]

PRIME That’s the thing though, I feel finishing in 6th place at Arsenal< relegation with Newcastle. Newcastle has been balling out of their mind, but he could go for the glory at Arsenal. It is a tough position to be in but i hope his success would follow him to Arsenal. They desperately need it.
