Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

The one thing Ive always appreciated about the coaches in International competitions is their willingness to make subs early and take off the big name players when they aren't performing outside of tactical defensive subs and the time wasting towards the end of the game ones.

In-game pens are at a all-time low.

I would have said yes during his Tottenham days, but he grew a lot playing under Cholo. He cut down on the mistakes and became a really good defensive Right Back. There was a clear difference in how Atleti played when he was in the lineup and when he was missing.

I remember he had a good season and then a mediocre one right before he moved to Atletico. Is it the case of him improving as a defender or being in a defense oriented team?

He's not overrated per se just not worth 43m.

Yeah there's always Premier League + English player tax, but he's a 30 year old fullback

Don't forget the Man Utd tax on top of that.

It's just ridiculous to pay that much for another RB unless AWB is moving to CB full time or is being sold.

4 out of 5 missed


I do think there's more homework done these days by the staff and keepers on the takers though.





On another note I do have to give the Nation's League some props, I've enjoyed watching the Macedonians.

60-69 mins always. Didnt matter if I'm winning or losing. I'd make 2 subs at half time if I'm 2-3 nil up.

Tomori to Milan now official La Cobham loses a real one.

He needs to accept the Canada call-up already, Southgate doesnt want you

I agree, that one world soccer was so the announcers sound like some university laval game

By august fans can return in ontario if they play at bmo

I'd rather play at BC Place for most games esp for say the jamaica game

Imagine jamaica vs canada at bmo? it will be like last time where 80% of the fans are cheering for Jamaica

Wait where'd you see TSN/Sportsnet are picking up the other games? We have to rely on OneSoccer since the Bell/Rogers crime family didn't want to pick up any of the qualifiers. Maybe they'll buy the rights off OneSoccer now.

Keepers always done homework. I remember Lehman vs Argentina in 06 looking at his water bottle before the shootout. It just seems to me that more are being put more closer and easier height for the keeper to me the save then into the corners with power. Like the classic Ronaldinho pen.

Yeah North Macedonia are a fun team. Play a lot more free than Serbia do with the larger talent pool.

I've done the Montreal to Los Angeles flight, it's long. Took just over 6 hours.

at Seattle going to the east coast like an English club going to Russia or Ukraine.

Keep in mind most of the time its commercial. They cap chartered flights to a small amount per year pre-covid
