From Roma to Lazio, these end of career foreign transplants get to just make a mockery of rivalries like that I guess. CR7 doing the same if he signs with City, I guess.
not technically a "former" player yet. but ... close enough. OFFICIAL: Miralem Pjanić has been dropped from the Bosnian national team. He played 66 minutes vs Finland and was booed off for his poor display. #BIH 🇧🇦Multiple news outlets reporting Pjanić was smoking hookah and drinking the night before the match.. Let a whole country down. pic.twitter.com/BbCeoa3ohz— BH Live 🇧🇦 (@BHlive_official) November 16, 2021
And he has ambitions to come back here and play under Xavi? Hope they sell him on immediately. Koeman was right about him it seems.
Happy for Gio van Bronckhorst, named Rangers manager: https://www.rangers.co.uk/article/r...bronckhorst-as-manager/2gwO7Q3sem0TSexc1jOy8I
Now Abidal is being investigated in France, and his wife Hayet has filed for divorce, after Hayet is even more the suspect in France, as she seemingly hired the goons who beat former Barca femeni player Kheira Hamraoui: https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2021/11/16/61939b40e2704e9e138b45f0.html https://bolavip.com/en/offside/repo...-in-kheira-hamraoui-attack-20211116-0024.html
Love Iniesta and glad to hear he's doing well in the Land of the Rising Sun. But as far as 2021-22 goes, Barca should be looking forward, not continuously reaching into the past.
I saw reports last week suggesting we had already made enquires about bringing him back on a short term basis like Alves . Presumably they’d both be absorbed into the back room staff at the start of next season
Didn't know where to place this. Selections and order are strictly my opinion. https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/r...favorite-football-club.2118647/#post-40147827
It warms my heart to see that Ilaix is a bust so far at Leipzig. Only 6 appearances in all comps, 0 goals, 0 assists. He’s only made two appearances in the league, a total of 30’, the last was on November 20. Greed isn’t pretty. Karma is a b*tch.
Thought this was funny The Rossoneri had confirmed the news in a statement, declaring: "Covid-19 has tested positive for Zlatan Ibrahimović following a second round of swab tests ahead of tonight's game against Bodø/Glimt.”
Marc Overmars embroiled in scandal over texts sent to female Ajax staffers and forced to resign: https://www.espn.com/soccer/ajax/st...s-leaves-ajax-after-appalling-message-scandal Short on details about what he wrote but even he understands, belatedly, it was inappropriate.
Crazy stat, and a reminder how spoiled Barca fans have been for nearly 20 years, even our worst spells are not years in a row without a trophy. Someone pulled this Puyol stat up as it was 8 years ago he announced he'd retire at the end of the season: It is having trouble loading but it says 0 trophies at age 27, 24 trophies at age 36. Sadly the other Puyol info-graphic that leapt to mind was this one:
