The new footy thread

[esls79]

My guy in Singapore told me to bet Man U for the match win but not to advance. Damn, I could have been getting laid tonight.

Ole is the new special one.

Really good of UEFA to put out a VAR explainer for the matches this week.

UEFA Champions League VAR decisions explained

I think most of these calls were fair but that ball being out on Ajax' third goal bothers me in a few ways, mostly

1) That ball is fucking out, and

2) Even though that ball is fucking out, they shouldn't be reviewing this.

Saints are terrible, Spurs don't need to be gifted goals where Kane is offside.

Where's the red card on Walker-Peters, horrible decision.

Ward-Prowse with a howler of a free kick gives Saints the lead.

This outcome would’ve been very different in hockey.

Birmingham should be docked 10 points, forced to play the rest of their home games in an empty stadium and face a punitive fine of like 10 million pounds.

I think that dude who invaded the pitch looked like the same one from Green Street

I have to think this is exactly what will happen. England has to maintain an absolute zero tolerance policy for this shit. They've come way too far.

How does security allow this to happen? I get this isn't the Premier League where those stadium stewards are positioned every 10 years surrounding the pitch, but still this is terrible.

It absolutely had Prem-level security - this is one of the most heated derbies in Europe even if it's happening in the second division. Police don't fuck around with that.

I think we're coming close to the point where they're going to have to put fencing up against the front of the stands. A fan gets on the field to get close to Ronaldo every two games it seems; what happens when this happens to him? Or worse? It's too great a risk.

Sounds like Zidane's heading back to Real lol

This is great! (thread)

NHL goalies have nothing on Bundesliga goalies when it comes to piling up snow

What the shit is this Zizou?

Ron’s the best.

At what point do soccer players say fuck this and demand actual time off?

Lame, I was hoping for a 48 team event.

 

[esls79]

48 team event that could include some heavyweight matchups like Celtic-Rangers, Boca Junior and River Plate, Millwall and West Ham, imagine the possibilities to have these fans travel half way around the world to beat the shit out of each other.
