Also, Lewandowski scored a hat trick today and recorded Bundesliga goal #300 in the process. The guy was robbed of the Ballon d'Or last year.

I’d check the betting patterns on that Spurs match. Seems suspicious.

Four years ago Leao terminated his contract with Sporting after maniacs invaded the training facility and hit some players and signed with Lille on a free (he’s since signed with AC on a €30 mil transfer fee).

Today he was dinged with a massive fucking penalty for doing so.

Even with an early 1-nil lead, I'll take a tie at St. Mary's against Man City. I was sure Saints were going to find a way to lose it at the death.

City deserved to lose just for those god awful kits.

Cameroon is hosting the African Cup for the first time in 50 years. It was meant to host the tournament in 2019, but the event was taken away that year and awarded to Egypt because of serious concerns with Cameroon's preparations, particularly the readiness of its stadiums.

Olembe Stadium was one of the venues that was under scrutiny.

Following a low turnout in the first round games at brand new stadiums built for the continent's premier tournament, Cameroon authorities had thrown open stadium gates, organised mass transport and given out free tickets to lure fans.

If they're going to insist on running this tournament every two years in the middle of the European soccer calendar and taking African players from their clubs for a month can they at least not run it like a bunch of assholes that leads to shit like this?
