His sister is hot so I can’t blame him.

So you would pipe your sister if she looked like Neymar's sister?

Nah man, that’s incest.

I’m just saying I could see the reason and see why he would partake in such activities.

Y'all heard about what happened at Sporting's training center in Portugal?
Apparently a few dozen hooded thugs rushed into the premises and assaulted a number of Sporting players.

Portugal: Fans interrupt Sporting practice, assault players

Portuguese football was rocked on Tuesday when a large group of fans forced their way into Sporting Lisbon’s training center and assaulted its players and staff.

Public television RTP reported that around 50 intruders, who had covered their faces to not be identified, interrupted practice at Sporting’s training center in Alcochete, about 20 kilometers south of Lisbon.

RTP showed images of bloody wounds to the head of Sporting’s Dutch striker Bas Dost and of a changing room that had been trashed.

Police detained 21 suspects in the hours following the incident, according to assistant Secretary of State for the Interior Isabel Oneto.

This type of “hooligan” violence that has plagued football in other European countries is unprecedented in Portugal.

Sporting issued a statement condemning what it calls “acts of vandalism and the attacks on (our) athletes, coaches and professional staff.”

The club did not immediately respond to calls and emails from The Associated Press.

The Portuguese league also condemned “the violent acts the players and coaching staff of Sporting Lisbon were subject to today.”

“The perpetrators of these incidents are not fans of football, they are criminals,” the league said in a statement.

Sporting missed out on a Champions League berth for next season after a loss in the last round of the Portuguese league cost it a second-place finish last weekend.

It is preparing to play the Portuguese Cup final against Aves on Sunday.

Oneto said that authorities would increase security measures for the cup final.

The rampage marks the low point of an already tumultuous season for Sporting.

Club president Bruno de Carvalho launched a social media tirade against several of his own players, calling them out by name, following a defeat last month. The players responded by demanding respect and coach Jorge Jesus had to deny publicly that his players had been suspended by the club.

Portugal: Fans interrupt Sporting practice, assault players

Heard about this earlier today. Like the article mentioned, Portugal is relatively free from this type of savage @#$@ that goes on in other European countries, so it's pretty shocking to hear. My cousin came up with a conspiracy saying that the president of the club hired those dudes since all the players hate him I wouldn't be surprised if true though...

 

[Kimchi Papi]

That had to be sanctioned by the club president....

 

[PRIME]

Carlo to the Gunners?

 

[flyeed]

**** is going on with Sporting

Club also produced Ruben Semedo who’s on trial for murder, and who Gelson Martins has openly been supporting

 

[nrg1604]

Why they gotta go after the legend Bas Dost?

Garber visits Sporting KC's new training facility. After the press conference, it is clear his head is still up his a**.

Question: Is promotion/relegation viable in MLS?

Garber: “Just because there is promotion/relegation in other leagues that were founded on different principles doesn’t mean that it would make sense in Major League Soccer. We have a vibrant No. 2 league in the USL. We have (Sporting KC principal owner) Cliff (Illig) and his partners that have just put $60 million of capital, along with the public, into this building. If all of a sudden they’re playing in a different division that doesn’t have national revenues — because the USL doesn’t have that — how does that make any sense? There’s no economic rationality to promotion/relegation whatsoever in the era that we’re in today.”

There's no economic rationality in playing in a closed system. He just doesn't want to do it

Question: Is a winter schedule viable in MLS?

Garber: “If we could align with the calendar, we would. Why wouldn’t we? It makes a lot easier for us to have the summer open so that we can take a break when our players are getting called into international competitions and capture some of the opportunities when international clubs wanna come here. But you guys know what the weather is like around the country. We’ve had snow and horrible weather in the beginning of our season in early March. There is no league in the world that plays across (four) time zones and three climate zones. We have to operate in an environment that is consistent with the norms and factors that exist in North America.”

The Russian League plays across 11 time zones and they can add a winter break like other leagues

Don Garber was made commissioner to make money for the owners, not grow the sport in the states. His comments aren’t shocking to say the least.

 

[5star02707]

Still waiting on who Arsenal will appoint. Will support and give time to the new manager but i doube the fan base have patience?

Funny thing is with his position, he supposed to do the opposite. He cant run the MLS like the NFL. He will get his day in court and lose, can't wait.

Very nice...

 

[Kimchi Papi]

bart's paper MD is reporting Barca has an agreement with Clement Lenglet for 5yrs... I like his physical play & his passing but he needs to work on committing fouls less. Damn Les Bleus reigning supreme at Camp Nou... They say Catalan the language is closer to French that it is Spanish... If we're all in for French players, just raid Lyon for Christ sakes & be done with it. Get Fekir, Tanguy Ndombele, & my homey Aouar... Give them cash & oompa loompa, alba, busquets, Mina, gomes, Denis Suarez, Vidal, & Paco... But also get Upamecano from Leipzig.

Also, I want no parts of Eriksen. Yes he's class but if we're going to pay the kind of transfer fees levy would want for him, I'd rather the team stay focused on getting players between 21-23. Barca needs an infusion of youth & speed badly.

[rolaholic]

Lol England's defense is gonna be FOOD

 

[rolaholic]

Gonna need this to happen sooner please

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Just keep Wenger away from Les Bleus...

 

[Armada]

Cahill has to just be going for the "experience" factor. No way he should be starting

 

[rolaholic]

Wenger as a director wouldn't be a bad move tbh

Is Leon Bailey confirming his flip to the 3 Lions or just trolling hard?



Might make up for Zaha choosing his motherland over England

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Lion is a big jamacian ting too rolaholic

But yeah he's probably playing for England

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Wenger as director is even more laughable... Look at the roster he's assembled. Look at his record over the last 10 years or so for the executive side of things when he was running it. There is nothing on his resume for the last decade that says he would be an effective manager or executive. Stick a fork in him, he's done. Maybe he can continue punditry for beIN.

 

[rolaholic]

Dude knows what he's doing



I've always rated Willian and the squad still needs a true RW but I don't wanna see dude join at the expense of Tone...

Mou's been waxing lyrical about dude ever since he joined United though ,wouldn't be a surprise if he actually did join.

Just surprised Chelsea would see after Matic
