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

[Gilver]

Genuinely thought as it got closer the excitement of the football would outweigh the obvious issues with Qatar etc but this really is going to be a shytshow with crap football isn't it.

Whoever wins it gets an asterisk next to their name imo. This World Cup is Liverpool's title win, doesn't count.

Spoiler

Unless England win it

That piece of shyt DT is back.


Saying that Robbie knew the whole time and that he was in contact with him while in prison.

Not a good look for Robbie if true, BUT let's not forget what DT went to prison for. :hhh

He sent him a message about how he was contemplating suicide and Robbie responded with "okay" and a thumbs up emoji. :dead

My take - breh vouched for you in court but you pull this? He still foul for this. Can't respect that shyt.

This world cup is bullshyt
So many are going to miss it through injury just because of Fifa corruption

I saw Coutinho is going to miss it now as well the other day

So players wouldn't have been injured if the WC was in June after a long domestic and Contininental competitions.

This actually might be the best WC in terms off play. Cause players are actually gonna be fit and not completely worn out after playing a full season

This would hold water if a) off-season wasn’t shortened to like 5 weeks and b) fixtures weren’t piled up for the last 8 weeks.

If anything, players are more tired/fatigued now than they would have been at this point of any other season and we’re seeing it with the amount of injuries occurring in such a short space of time.

Exactly, most players have been worked harder than Stephen A Smith over the last 12 months

So we talking about the World Cup on here? Or is someone making a thread?

Even before the covid stuff, top players were already worn out. I remember a stretch when Alexis Sanchez didn't get a real off-season break for like 3/4 years

Feel like that stank of a tournament needs a separate thread

I don’t think Coutinho’s injury has anything to do with him missing the WC

Yeah there would have been injuries if the tournament was held in June, but they would have also had like a month to recover and maybe play in the world cup

If you pick up an injury now or at the weekend which is going to keep you out for 2 to 3 weeks, your world cup is over because it starts a week after all these games have been played


And most of these injuries what they are picking up are muscle injuries like hamstrings etc .
This has all been caused by them putting the world cup in November.
If there was no world cup we would only be on like game 4 of the CL which would still be being played in December, it finished last week though

It’s not ideal. Let’s be reality

I’m still going to watch however
