also, this is news to me:
Sergino Dest to Barça, apparently? Absolutely wild. The last thing that leaky Barça defense needs is a callow speedster whose defending may not be up to par. Having said that, I want to see him do well, but that's some big expectations. Also, to recap, the USMNT now has players getting significant minutes at the following clubs: -Chelsea, -RB Leipzig, -BVB 09, -Barça, and -Juve. If it still can't manage to slap El Tri the next times the two teams meet... |

you forgot Chris Richards CB/RB Dallas/FC Bayern, did an excellent job securing the 3rd league title for Bayern II last season, well on Flicks (and Berhalters) radar. Had his 1st team debut against Freiburg this summer.

Quote:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In other news, there are some rather competitive groups for Champion's League, specifically, Groups D and H. For Group D: Liverpool, Ajax, and Atalanta; For Group H: PSG, Man U, and RB Leipzig. Both Atalanta and Leipzig should be in Pot 2. Zenit being in Pot 1 is kind of a joke... |

As always, Man City gets an easy draw... |

First time they go head-to-head in the CL in almost a decade.
CR7 hasn't lost much, I'm not so sure about Messi though |

Damn, Everton looks good. Should make for an interesting Merseyside Derby.
Hoping that the Covid cases at LFC are isolated events. Mane and Thiago both out... |

Oh boy, didn't expect that from Liverpool. I really hope no one else on that squad is sick...
And here is how one differentiates admirers of the coach from actual fans of the team. The former such as myself, can simply turn it off. The latter has to go through what must feel like skin being flayed... --------------------------------- Otoh, congrats THFC. Emphatic win. Jose knows a thing or two about getting a severe beating playing against Spur at Old Trafford. In his words, No Respect shown today toward Man U. Last edited by echappist; 10-04-2020 at 03:03 PM. |

I know, right?
That was a royal pasting on LFC... PS. Noticed that you are in Rotterdam. Feijenoord or Sparta or perhaps none of the above? I really wish I could have caught an Ajax match when we were in de Nederlands last year. Last edited by echappist; 10-05-2020 at 12:13 PM. |

Glad to see my Bayern aren't the only ones to struggle lol, and we got silverware overload as an excuse
BTW last minute signings of Douglas Costa (interesting, he didn't leave on the best of terms), Choupo-Molting Roca from Sporting and Sarr from Marseille. The first two are on loan and make sense, their main job will be to give first team players a rest. Sarr and Roca are players for the future.

Talk about a rigged Serie-A
Two Napoli players test positive. Local health authority states that team shouldn't ravel (for match vs Juve). Napolis is forced for forfeit the match and take a 1-point deduction Now two players on Juve test positive. What sort of signal does Serie-A's bass-ackward message send? I'd imagine Juve will play the match as scheduled, consequences be damned... https://www.theguardian.com/football...do-coronavirus |
