We’re 90 miles away from Cuba. The gateway to latin america. You think only Americans came to vacation here until the early 2000s?

Damn. I should get more specific. Europeans. Especially footballers. They used to go to the south of france or the Mediterranean islands. South Florida wasn't on the radar back then.

Gotchu. I can say this, Spaniards have always loved visiting here because it’s easy for them language-wise. I have always noticed a lot of French tourists down here as well.

You realize Barca b will also be in the 3rd division

 

[aepps20]

What a beautiful attempt. I would be proud to welcome him on any team that I was on. Hopefully he walked into the locker room just like this.

 

[vtotheinay]

this is fire. definitely gonna pick it up

That's sports washing. He definitely bet on the game.

The Saudi accusations with Chelsea show that people have ZERO clue how private equity works

 

[8pm at msg]

People don't know what money laundering is.

Selling players that didn't work out, bought with money that was held by a legitimate business to business partners that are looking to acquire recognizable brand name players with their own funds gained through their businesses isn't money laundering.

Convenient? Definitely. Illegal? No.

Arsenal been buying our retirement home level players for a few seasons now, it keeps them in London so they won't relocate their families and gives them guys to fill whatever role they feel they're lacking. Why is there no criticism there?

i don’t think that’s the issue

 

[jape]

but apparently barca are FINISHED though
yet the captain of this years champions league winners turned down everyone to join barca. and the captain of the other finalist wants to join barca too
meanwhile everyone wants to leave psg. must be hard becoming a fan of psg in 2021

 

[dacomeup]

i don’t think that’s the issue

What’s the issue then? If not that Saudi is buying these guys from Chelsea due to PIF’s investment in Clearlake. None of which makes sense

 

[jape]

lol. who do they want?

 

[vtotheinay]

lol. who do they want?

it's cause he's a marseille kid so they "dont want him" but it's just their ultras. it won't stop psg from buying him

 

[jape]

gotta respect the commitment from the ultras but they just seem to be shooting themselves in the foot

 

[jape]

vtotheinay can y’all gonna hold on to davies now please?

madrid got a track team out here

 

[Bantz Lord T]

Commitment to what? Idiocy?

 

[Coupé It]

Curious. Was south Florida a popular tourist destination for foreigners in the 80s and 90s?

Feel like this is a recent thing that started in the 2000s. Maybe the 94 world cup and 96 Olympics played a part in putting more eyes on it.

This sounded kind of crazy.

Miami was literally built by immigrants.

United fans and Gary Neville grasping at straws to get Chelsea in trouble.

Very nasty.

 

[jape]

Commitment to what? Idiocy?

the rivalry i guess

 

[Bantz Lord T]

This sounded kind of crazy.

That’s because he was dead wrong

 

[Bantz Lord T]

the rivalry i guess

If a player is keen and will improve your squad, it shouldn’t matter where he came from. I’d understand if Marseille fans are upset about this, but PSG are the winners here. They’re morons.
