I dont expect messi to have any respect for a team that didn't exist 3-ish years ago; but where did his career-ending injury go?

I wonder if argentines will go though the same stuff we're going through with cristiano, but with messi, getting pissed at being subbed off, still getting called up while shit, permanent spot in the starting eleven etc.

why are Scotland fans whinging about a goal that should’ve been disallowed being disallowed?

International break, and clubs I dislike doing well, has forced me to lurk in the /r/cricket SA vs Aus post-match thread for my schadenfreuden. Really scraping the barrel now

Still cannot believe the Glazer’s leveraged buyout was ever allowed.

Every int’l break I am reminded how much I hate the Euros Qualifying logo.

Will Pep get a statue or stand named after him at the Etihad?

I kinda hope it’s a stand. The three players with statues already are symbolic of the turning point in their history, they earnt the right to be the ones future generations ask about when they first go to a game. I think it would dilute the memory of others were added.

Our summer window was:

A £40m left winger who’s injured for four months

A £60m centre mid who’s addicted to fourteen leg accas

Two £40m and £30m fullbacks who never play

Dan Ashworth masterclass

Would you consider football in general as a weak or a strong link sport?

Didn’t expect Uruguay to field with so many Liga MX and MLS players.

Why does Ederson start for Brazil now? Don't get me wrong, he's probably been as good as he's ever been for City for a year and a half now but Allison is arguably still playing at a higher level for Liverpool. Did Allison have some bad performances for Brazil?

Madrid's (crazy) '86 UEFA Cup run, their second UEFA Cup and their second in a row. In some ways it mirrors their CL win last year with close calls and comebacks.

In the 85-86 season, Madrid won La Liga and the UEFA Cup.

  • In the first round, Madrid lost the first-leg to AEK Athens 1-0 but won the second leg 5-0.

  • In the second round, they defeated FC Chornomorets Odesa 2-1 across both legs. At the time they were a Soviet Union club that ended up relegated that same season.

  • Madrid suffered a 5-1 defeat in the third round (round of 16) at the Rheinstadion with Madrid's sole goal coming from Gordillo (to make it 4-1 at the time). Borrusia Monchengladbach had finished the 85-86 Bundesliga in fourth place with 42 points, seven points off of Bayern in first.

  • In the second leg, Madrid bested them at the Bernabeu 4-0! Crucially, Santillana scored a brace including an 88" 'winner' which tied the game and meant Madrid went through due to away goals. You can see the second leg highlights here

  • In the fourth round (quarters) they won 3-2 on aggregate to Neuchâtel Xamax FCS, a Swiss club, with Madrid scoring their three goals in the first leg, but conceding two in the second. Neuchâtel Xamax FCS were runners-up in that season's Swiss League.

  • In the semi-finals, Madrid met Inter Milan. Yet another comeback was needed, this time from a 3-1 first-leg defeat at the San Siro with Valdano scoring the sole away goal. Madrid managed to overcome Inter 5-1 after extra time after they scored thrice in regular time, with Inter scoring once through Brady. With the score at 4-4, Madrid scored twice in extra time, both goals through Santillana. Inter finished sixth in that year's Serie A.

  • Not even the final was that comfortable, despite Madrid winning the first leg a whopping 5-1. Köln, who finished 13th (!) in that season's Bundesliga reached the final defeating Sporting Gijon, Bohemians Praha, Hammarby, Sporting, and K.S.V Waregem.

Köln managed to win the second leg 2-0 but were defeated 5-3 on aggregate, thus making Madrid the winners.

I thought Messi didn't play forMiami because he was injured?

[–] Trydson@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

McTominay with Scotland reminds me of Edu Vargas, maybe he is not playeing at his best level with the club, but have him on the NT and the guy is bossing.

[–] TheMonkeyPrince@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

All the handwringing in Germany over them playing in the US this international break is good fuel for my propaganda that European teams would explode if they had to compete in Concacaf.

“Brazil could win the World Cup with their B team” was a common take 12 months ago.
