The Soccer Thread (Version 12) — Revenge of the Backup GK

Well Man U getting right against another club that needs to get right.

 

With the exception of a couple of good plays by Son, Spurs looked miserable.

 

The whole Nuno thing is not working for Spurs. Most of the players, starting with Kane, look lost and forlorn out there.

 

You know it’s bad when there are two plays in the same sequence that could have led to a red. Ref chose the denial of a goal scoring opportunity and Villa down a man.

 

Say what you will about the on-field quality in MLS, but the league's social media game is peerless.

 

Spurs sack Nuno. Looks like Conte will be the replacement.

 

FIFA sanctions Mexico to 2 games behind closed doors for fans' homophobic chant

 

Brazilian fans: Not in love with VAR.

 

Gremio, former club of Lucas Leiva.

 

I like how they were chased back into the stands by ... a group of 10 guys in a tight group covering maybe 10 square yards. Meanwhile other security dudes with no shields were walking the sideline like nothing was happening.

Watching it felt very this...

 

You ever see the deleted part of that scene? Achoo makes a horrible anti-trans joke.

 

Dammit, really? Never saw the deleted scenes. This is one of my favorite dumb comedies. Glad they left it out, but that is unfortunate it was even there.
