Did anybody watch those Football's Greatest Teams docs for Bayern, Ajax and Liverpool?

The fact that we won 1-0 against blackburn concerns me.

Wait a second. I thought Parma FC went bankrupt and automatically got relegated. Therefore they had to forfeit every remaining fixture this season.
I just seen that they played Udinese in Serie A. What's going on here?

nah they got funds from Serie A/Italy to cover expenses for the rest of the season (gameday operations, players paychecks, etc) and they will play out the rest of the season.
And will then be automatically relegated.

More goals than games over 6 seasons is just insane.

No clue about Muto. Suppose it's a marketing move? I am fine with the move as long as that move doesn't take Bamford's spot away.
Agreed. CR7 and Messi are unbelievable.

300 goals in 288 appearences to be exact...the stuff that Ronaldo and Messi pull off is straight up mind blowing and way beyond comprehension :x. I feel pretty lucky to be able to witness their era.
Came across this and though it was hilarious

^ Under the new rules by the English FA, Muto will most likely not be able to get a work permit... He's a non EU player & doesn't fit the criteria outlined by the new racist policy.
I wonder if the new Yokohama sponsorship had anything to do with this rumor?
Edit - I'd rather see him go to Bundesliga. I think he'd excel there.

On the subject of minority coaches in European football,former Les Blues legend Lillian Thuram had some interesting comments on the impact that societal stereotypes have had to explain the lack of minorities in managerial positions.
.
I feel like they'd probably need to implement something that's equivalent to the NFL's Rooney Rule to even have a shot at changing things at this point. The Rooney Rule is a rule that requires NFL teams to interview minority candidates for coaching and front office positions.
Some of these stereotypes that are still prevalent are appalling,it's 2015 and there's still the ignorant belief that more melanin = less intelligence?

Racism in Umerica is pretty bad, but Europe is waaay worse. Its downright hostile over there (at least when I went).
Man, I used to love watching Lilian Thuram play whether it was Juve, Barca, or Les Bleus.

I'd have to agree.
For as much racism that still goes on in the States,they've come a much longer way than Europe has in that regard imo. There's still much work to be done there. You're right about the hostility at times,I'll always remember being verbally abused along with some family members when I was younger in Paris. That was probably one of the first times I had experienced blatant racism irl. I've also heard some pretty disheartening stories from different family members/friends living in Europe
Lillian Thuram will always be a legend in my book,one of the few Barca players I've always loved and respected. Great player on the pitch and a class guy off it for all his charity and awareness work for Sickle Cell Anemia. Shame his career had to end prematurely.

My wealthy uncle went back to Italy a couple of years ago to attend a wedding & stayed at the 4 Seasons in Florence... As he was checking in, the concierge had the nerve to mention the hotel doesn't provide Chinese or Asian cuisine. My cousin, who was with him was like WTF this ************ just say to us?!?!

damn that's crazy....I can at least give credit to europeans for being blatant. Here in the states you don't really catch it until after it happens

its funny cause I haven't really encountered that much racism is Europe as I do in the States and I'm from Canada lol. Maybe being Muslim has to be it

My cousin wanted to fight the dude in the lobby, but my uncle who has US & Korean diplomatic credentials handled it on a executive level.
The problem is, even at the level of upper management, they wouldn't understand how that was offensive because culturally in Italy, that's acceptable. They don't see it as wrong.
My cousin did tell ol dude to such an egg roll... My uncle wouldn't let him touch dude & was even mad for saying that much...

Here's the thing about Europe (and the rest of the world) tho compared to the America's - they've been a race amongst themselves for thousands of years.
America is an extremely multicultural and multi-ethnic place, has been for hundreds of years. The civil rights movement also helped forward the progression - Europe hasn't had anything like that to compare with - their just aren't enough minorities to have that type of progressive movement. So of course they're way behind America, the whole world, every continent is behind America's when it comes to race relations.
It's going to be like that for a long time, without more minorities or a movement the only thing that helps is education. Amongst the educated that type of racial **** does not happen.

Saw the one for Ajax. They basically dominated Europe when Cruyff was in his prime.

yeah we do... though I am far from fluent.. can hold a conversation though@beans718
~ Do you guys speak Spanish. It'd be pretty cool to be able to speak to players in their native (non-English) language.
Also...
you Puerto Rican?woah, didn't see that part. Should have been a straight red :x
