Italy went on record (buffon specifically) saying they didnt think it was classy to run up the score on Liechtenstein so they wouldnt do it ... I dont know how intelligent that is considering goal difference will decide group g

competition was crap but they scored some pretty pretty goals yesterday and the one in the 2nd minute ruled offsides (incorrectly) was the nicest

Watched quite a bit of tonight's game, it could have easily been a 4-1 final.

I thought he would stick around for sure after all the spending AC's done. He's Milanista, 18, they offered him 5 million euros a year and would make him captain.

No player is safe at any club anymore.

wow

wow

With Chelsea putting money toward expanding Stamford Bridge (which is gonna cost a LOT considering they need to expand over the nearby rail line), yeah I could see this being a problem.

Wonder if he'd wind up back at Juve. Allegri isn't the most popular guy among some players, particularly Bonnucci.

After being stopped by a state trooper and told that he was driving on the wrong side of the road, Larin replied, “Oh. I didn’t know that. I’m not from here, I’m from Canada.”

Marca's running with it too:

Maybe it's a contract thing but there hasn't been real chatter about a Ronaldo transfer since 2009. He's hinted at this a couple times this season too.

tax evasion charges the final straw?

I guess it could be, although I'm sure if he were living anywhere else in Europe and was convicted and actually sentenced to jail time he'd be extradited anyway. Not that I expect that to happen.

This window's been bonkers already and it's not even technically open for another two weeks. Throwing a Ronaldo saga into the mix is just icing at this point.

covfefe thread inspired post: its weird how these tax charges have materialized when there is talk of Ronaldo leaving ... just as they did when Messi contemplated it last summer ... kinda feel like if he decides to stay maybe they can make it all go away lol

LOL if so those two clubs are even shadier than it seems.

Probably why Neymar's transfer was suddenly under investigation too. "Oh, ya wanna go to Manchester? How's your pops doin, junior?"

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Woooooooow lol

Not sure whether to drop this here or in the Milos and Genie thread...

AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini is to mark his 49th birthday later this month by making his professional tennis debut at an ATP Challenger Tour event in Milan.

The former Italy defender has earned a wild card for the Aspria Tennis Cup at the Aspria Harbour Club of Milan, where he will partner his coach and former professional Stefano Landonio, 45, in the doubles.

The pair earned entry at a qualifying event and they will make their debut on June 26 with Landonio confirming that Maldini has got the talent on the court that he possessed on the football field.
