PBP: Other Leagues/Tournaments Catch-All Thread

Is Malik the same owner of the NWSL team North Carolina Courage?

 

Yes.

 

Oh okay, it seems to be that the women’s teams has better fan support than the men’s team.

 

The trial of the Olympiakos chair, Evangelos Marinakis, and dozens of football fans began in Greece on Wednesday, the biggest case of its kind linked to sports-related violence that authorities have vowed to crack down on.

The investigation was launched after the 2023 fatal injury of a 31-year-old riot police officer, George Lyngeridis, in clashes outside a women’s volleyball match between Olympiakos and Panathinaikos.

 

NWSL playoffs underway in Orlando: They will conduct an entire playoff tournament during the time MLS 2-game sweepers are waiting between rounds. The magic of single elimination.

 

A very confusing score.

Huge upset in the NWSL playoffs. #1 seed KC Current goes out in the first round to #8 Gotham FC. Kansas City scored in stoppage time to get to extra time, 1-1, but Gotham scored in the 121st minute to win, 1-2.

KC had only lost 3 games all season

 

Currently 1-1 in the 83rd minute in the Canadian Premier League Final in Ottawa. Here are the conditions that Atlético Ottawa and Calvary FC of Calgary are playing in...



Both goalies have snow shovels to clear out the crease when they have time to do so...

 

It's on FS2. Completely absurd scenes.

 

I thought the Snow Clasico was bad...

 

Tremendous pictures, I’m going to check that out.

 

I wish there were more leeway for postponing games in soccer. But this is a playoff final and an international window begins tomorrow....

They are having an extended break for snow clearing before extra time.

In Canada's women's league they postponed a playoff game in Toronto from today to tomorrow.

 

Extra Time delayed in order to clear the field, expected to start at 8PM

 

They're hoping to start Extra Time at approximately 8:30PM

I saw a bit of that NFL bashing and “insult to real football” stuff in regards to the Madrid game. Thankfully not too much though.
