Might as well start a general Footy/Soccer thread

We started with weaker 11s than we finished games with throughout the tournament.

Equalled chasing too many games, two games with extra time, a shootout.

Bellingham over ran and underperformed. Playing him and Kane together just doesn't seem to work for either of them.

Damn good final for Euro2024. That 89th minute save off the line? Ooof.

Anyways, CopaAmerica is a fucking shitshow and whomever is running the stadiums needs to be alongside Greg Berhalter in a McDonalds asking people if they want frys.

This COPA match is exhausting. You can just feel how tired they are. Hated to see Messi exit. That shot of his swollen ankle looked nasty.

Hard Rock is hosting 7 World Cup matches let’s hope they figure their shit out (and really, the fans too, where fault actually lies) before then.

Well, Conmebol won't be in charge of those games, so chances are good it will run just like every other normal sporting event does there.
That said, I'll be going to ATL games. Miami is a nightmare and the hotel price gauging will be redonculous.

[BmillsSkier]

Nice. It will be a vastly better stadium experience I can assure you of that. Long ways off but give a heads up when you do and we can grab a beer.

Agreed. And it should be a good match - the BRA/ESP game was pretty exciting to watch.

Absolutely. What a win for this next generation of women.

The tale of two halves.

Nice win

Apparently Fox didn't check in with their crack sports team analyst Lalas before posting this one

Madrid beat Atalanta in the Eufa Supercup. The goals came from Valverde (a tap in set up by a great move by Vini) and Mbappe (a nice finish set up by a good ball by Bellingham). Madrid looked a bit shaky in the first half playing a 4-3-3 without Toni Kroos (they played a 4-4-2- last year), but they got it rolling after half time and the sheer weight of the attacking talent came through.

GULLS!!!!

Sorry Woodsy

[Woodsy]

City just not fair
9 from 3 on pace forcan unprecedented 5 in a row with their super squad. Meanwhile we sell our favourite Scot to meet FFP rules

[puma]

Very stoked with the Pochettino hire. I think he was the best realistic option we could have hoped for. Perhaps we get out of the group stage and win one? (Perhaps)

[EWG]

Fucking City at the death

[basinbeater]

Boca played like shit, but man, the stadium rocks.

[The SnowShow]

Crazy City - Arsenal game. Fuck, City should have gone down. And apparently Haaland can whip the ball off an opponent’s head and not get a yellow. Da fuck?
