The Soccer Thread (Version 9)

Well, as a Watford supporter, I'm going to pretend I didn't just watch that Bournemouth match.

 

Buh-bye Mourinho

 

Fuck ManU.

 

What was that lineup — it looked like Pogba was a CB and also an attacking midfielder.

 

Not a good look for the Russian National Team.

Strange that Hazard is still doing this Hamlet act. I guess that he realizes that Russian oligarch money can’t compete with petrobillions

 

In lack of parity news, in the group stages of the CONCACF Women's Gold Cup, 6 of the 12 games were shutouts of 5 goals or greater. There were no ties and only 1 game decided by 1 goal.

The semi-final games were 7-0 and 6-0 blowouts.

 

Not exactly surprising. One one side are teams fighting (and making decent cases) for being treated equally to their men's teams, on the other are teams relying on crowd-funding or celebrity patrons just to take the field.

 

Good match at the Bridge today. Hazard is so dangerous every time he gets the ball.

 

Real Madrid are going to have to make a change. Wenger in?

 

WTF was he angry about? The assistant celebrating?
