Watching the Brugge Derby because why not. I'm not going to comment on game quality yet, but the announcer on this may cause me to turn it off soon. He is dreadful. He just went on about Igor Thiago and what it means to have that huge transfer to Brentford coming up. Concluded with "he turned down Brazil for the Olympic Qualifiers but I'm sure he'll be available for Paris this summer."
Will be interesting to see how they react to play being stopped because of the fans flying remote controlled planes in the Freiburg/Frankfurt game.
The Frauen Bundesliga match between Munich and Essen is on CBSSN right now and the announcer has an almost completely unintelligible Glaswegian accent.
That shot from midfield had no business getting that close to going in and then the scramble off the line was even more absurd.
Bochum goes up 2-1 over Munich in the 44th minute. Bayern has blown a 1-0 lead, that should have been 2-0 if Harry Kane hadn't skied a shot from the middle of the 18 yard box. That's 2 goals in 6 minutes for Bochum.
Bochum game is great, and the the classical music piece they play after scoring is great too. Offenbach, according to google.
Munich got one back in the 87th, and there were some clinched cheeks during stoppage time, but the final is 3-1 Bochum. Bayern Munich is now 8 points out of first place with 12 matches remaining and the team leading them is NOT DORTMUND. I repeat, the current leader that Munich would need to chase down is NOT DORTMUND. Bayern Munich has lost 3 consecutive games across all competitions for the first time since 2015.
Right it's Bayer NEVER...... errr Leverkusen... They have that nickname for a reason. let's see if they can kickm it this time around.
The Washington Commanders added John Glenn to their coaching staff. We're all glad they found space for him.
Tuchel out at Bayern Munich at the end of the season. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39552971/bayern-munich-manager-tuchel-leave-end-season
The new ownership of the Las Vegas Lights seem to be interested in running an actual professional team instead of whatever it was that the last group was doing. Here they sign a 23 year old starting GK from the Swiss second tier. https://www.uslchampionship.com/news_article/show/1301421
In good news for the LPF and the development of young players that MLS might be able to poach, the Argentine economy is apparently finally turning around. https://www.reuters.com/world/ameri...own-milei-investors-start-believe-2024-02-23/
Good start to the 2. Bundesliga day with 1st place FC St. Pauli scoring in the 11th minute at 2nd place Holstein Kiel. This might be the year that at least one of the Hamburg based squads makes it back to the top tier as Hamburger SV currently sits in 3rd themselves.
The article starts out with "Whisper it quietly". LOL. Yes, Argentina has a lot of potential, but until you actually see signs of a turn around, it is just propaganda.
Having a fiscal surplus month for the first time in over a decade is a pretty nice start. There's still a very long way to go, but there's also no good reason why Argentina shouldn't have a strong economy.
In one of the more interesting preseason friendlies on the USL schedule, tomorrow night San Antonio FC hosts Antigua GFC from the Guatemalan first division. I almost want to take a quick weekend trip just to see that.
