The Soccer Thread (Version 13) — Winter World Cup Edition

Is Sir Alex still fit enough to run the club?

 

I'm a lapsed Manchester United and EPL fan. I somewhat lost interest with the "Continentalization" of the team and league. I still keep tabs, but that's a long fall from the days of me listening to radio broadcasts via dial up internet on Saturday mornings.
Anyway, in the decade since SAF retired, the club has gone through eight managers and gosh knows how many elite players. The only thing consistent in this downward spirals is the frickin' Glazers.
The glory days were never going to last forever, and I don't think the team will ever be threatened with relegation, but dang.

 

Chelsea-Tottenham: argy-bargy between the coaches!

 

“The fourth official who had the courage—or stupidity—to get in between the two managers who were squaring up”

 

And again!

 

And the brew-ha-ha continues after the whistle. Did Tuchel see red or only Conte?

 

I think both, but could be wrong.

 

Both, based on what they said postgame.

Also, I don't know how the hair pull and sloppy tackle escaped the officials' attention.

 

Hulk Hogan never sold contact this well.

 

Football is fake. That guy knows how to fall.

 

That was a Ric Flair delayed fall.
