Oh I see. A couple (albeit major) injuries and we’re back to Spur’ing it up in games.

It was fun while it lasted.

We miss Kane now?

He would be a welcome addition to most teams lol

Spurs wish they were as strong mentally as mighty Girona.

Maddison, Romero and Van de Ven have been three of the best Spurs. Going to be a tough go.

Oh, and having to play Dier is recipe for disaster

By the way, Harry Kane with a brace today for Bayern in a 4-2 win. He's ahead of Lewandowski's pace in the Bundesliga for most goals scored in a season (41)

Update: Rooney has yet to win a game since taking over and the Blues have dropped from 6th in the table to 14th.

Update to the update - Still no wins under Rooney and now 18th in the table.

It’s a flat out joke that City, Chelsea, Newcastle, United etc. get to spend like drunken sailors with unsustainable revenue sources or flat out debt assumption but the smaller teams are consistently the ones who get punished.

Same shit in Europe where the aforementioned teams plus PSG, Barca, Real etc. all are paper tigers but never get touched by “FFP” but teams like Roma and Porto have to meet targets every year to avoid being sanctioned positions in continental competition which just further hinders their earning potential.

Yeah, it certainly doesn't make a lot of sense. I'm no Everton fan, but I wouldn't be surprised if they still avoid relegation with how bad the bottom three teams have been this season.

They should follow Argentina's example, obviously.

Italy qualifies for Euro after 0-0 draw with Ukraine secures 2nd in their group.

Ukraine will feel pretty hard done by as they were tied on points and this happened in the box seconds before the final whistle:

That's a tough one for me...I don't know if there was enough in that challenge to warrant a spot kick. I can certainly understand Ukraine being upset that no penalty kick was awarded, though.

Feel like he oversold it but I think the foul was stone cold pen.

Meanwhile, Canadian soccer is terrible again. How did they concede 3 to Jamaica?

Call me crazy, but I think the announcer enjoyed that CR7 goal
