Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[CEO of Morgan Industries]

Looks like everyone's decided on complete isolation of Russia as a message for doing something militarily that might start a global war. Seems like Russia getting cut off across all fields is being used as a warning.

I don't know if this would work on the U.S. or China, but I guess that everyone else can be targeted like that.

I noticed no City fans said anything about that handball. Anyone else and they would be crying that they're the most hated team being held back by the FA/premier league/ country.

 

[TobiOT]

Leeds fans ain't happy about this.

 

[CEO of Morgan Industries]

Marsch taking that job is weird. He's never led a team out from (or from near) the relegation zone. I think he's a good manager, but I don't see how he's a fit for Leeds.

They also just got rid of a manager who plays his way no matter what players he actually has available, so I don't know why they're hiring yet another manager who is like that, except who is also a way worse manager than Bielsa is on Bielsa's worst day.

Im guessing because Marsch football principles are to press and play to attack it won't be the extreme culture shift to the players as it would be if they were to get a defensive minded coach in. It's not just the defence is bad they just aren't scoring enough goals either.

Franck Kessie should stay away from Barcelona because they'll play him defensive mid if he goes there

Lol what kind of shyt is that

Penalising the national team is one thing as they represent the country, are run by the Russian FA etc

Punishing privately owned clubs for the actions of their govt

that depends on who owns or manages it ....

"Leonid Arnoldovich Fedun (Russian: Леонид Арнольдович Федун; born 5 April 1956) is a Russian billionaire businessman. His estimated wealth as of June 2019 is $8.5 billion. Fedun, a former Russian military officer, is a close associate of Vagit Alekperov, the CEO of Russian oil company Lukoil.[2] Fedun owns 9.2% of Lukoil shares"
"Owner of FC Spartak Moscow"

That's called growing the game.

Not the greatest crop of managers available but it helps having American owners who want someone they can connect with.

The Jesse Marsch - Ted Lasso tweets gonna be awful

I saw Marsch's interview earlier.

American coaches don't help themselves, always sounding so earnest, trying to prove how knowledgeable they are. If they just dumbed themselves down a little and talked about pashun, guts and thunder they'd fit right in.

Never thought I'd see the day.

So Fifa ban teams for political interference citing the need for sports to be free of politics then go and ban Russia........for political reasons?


Don't personally give a fukk about those racists but this is ridiculous from Fifa. What happens if the countries reach a peace agreement tomorrow? Do Russia just slot back in like nothing happened?

ish is stupid
so you had their fans hurl racial insults call black folks monkeys etc. and fifa or uefa would not throw them out of competitions. But because of the government is doing now even domestic clubs gotta feel it.

Even that whole belarus ish from before all they did is make them play them games in another country.
