Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - New season, same old United

Dybala at Roma will be interesting no doubt. If Jose and get him, Tammy and Zaniolo firing then they could be in business.

Defense will still be an issue for Roma.
When Smalling inevitably gets injured the Mancini-Ibanez duo will be in charge with Matic, who will inevitably get injured, in front of them

Inter Miami is one of the worst teams in the league. Just an absolutely disorganized dumpster fire of a team.

They bought a 22 year old striker from Argentina for 6 million but then sold him a year later to Philadelphia for half a mil. That player already has twice as many goals in half a season than he did with Miami.

Just watched my club, Charlotte FC, beat Chelsea on penalties. A 16 year old came on in stoppage time, and on his first senior touch, took on the Chelsea defense and drew the penalty that tied it up. Whole stadium erupted and gave him a standing ovation when he stepped on the field, and he delivered within seconds. Only a friendly but when the pk was converted, you would have sworn this was a damn champions league match, and we had clinched qualification for the next round

I mean first and foremost that cheated league rules and go caught something serious.

Both Merseyside teams getting absolutely fukking pumped 4-0 in the same preseason by a team with the initials MUFC is just wonderful!

Surely, Everton are favourites to get relegated? Their team is a mess and they still need to balance their books and sell players. I just can’t see how they’re able to field a competitive enough squad to stay up unless Lampard is able to get some Cobham boys on loan again.

I watched the full video last night. I was surprised by how good Riise’s banter was with the guys.

Craig Bellamy is lucky that social media wasn’t what it is now back then because if word got out about a player attacking a teammate with a golf club, I’m sure no one would wanna play with him.

Getting hammered two days before a champions league knockout game is crazy

Minnesota can't even score four goals against a fellow MLS team

The teams that come up will be, by and large, the favourites to go back down.

Everton definitely should be amongst the favourites, though. Lampard is a dreadful manager, and that squad is bang-average at best.

If I were a betting man, I'd definitely be lumping on them to go & be buying the under on their points totals.

A change of manager would go some way to change my mind a little.
