    VAR looks at that goal but not the penalty, that was not only not a handball, but also outside the box?

    This Bournemouth top is too beautiful to be on such a bad team

    This has been like a training match since the penalty.

    Shaw has been unreal this half. He’s playing like a left sided attacking midfielder.

    Sancho is gonna be a great addition to United's bench next season, bring him on around the 70min mark when Greenwood gets tired lol

    I wonder if any other journos, outside of places like Djibouti, will put Lewa down for the Balon d'or.

    If Bayern do the treble, Lewa should absolutely win it. He probably should anyway.

    Remember 2013 when Lewy single-handedly eliminated Real Madrid with 4 goals? He got 13th place at the ballon d'or that year. He will never win it. Bundesliga players probably will never win it. It is just a popularity contest unfortunately.

    Late answer again, but absolutely agree with everything you said. If Dortmund win against Bayern they are 1 point behind us. And then the pressure is completely different because you know you cannot fuck up even one game. And we still had to play Leverkusen and Gladbach at that point.


    Thiago has a great work rate actually. It is often overlooked because of his other qualities but he is a really hard-working player that also does defensive work.
    Don't you have any football team in your area where you could go to and meet people to talk about football regularly?

    Nope, worse than the home kit
     
  23. We are getting an MLS next year which should get people more interested in the sport. I got a couple friends to put down a deposit with me for season tickets even though they don’t really watch. They’re at least trying to get into it.

    Thats good to hear. I know the situation in the US is completely different, but it still feels a little bit weird to me when people don't have access to a football club. Here pretty much every village has a club. And you can talk about football with maybe 50% of all people (the same is probably true with regards to American Football in the US).
     
  25. We have small leagues and most bigger cities have a team. But the leagues are so small and have such bad marketing due to no money that it’s really hard to be interested. The players aren’t very good and the games are the same. If I’m trying to get someone into the sport, I’m not gonna take them to a game like that haha watching PL is more likely to spark interest.
