Messi with a mustache lol

 

​

Great series. The music used to be used here for the Saturday afternoon programme Grandstand on the BBC which covered all sorts of sports for the final football scores and look at the league tables.

 

🤯 We have NEVER seen this happen before!

Flamengo were awarded a last minute penalty tonight after the Criciúma player kicks a second ball that was on the pitch at the current match ball the attacker is using.

New rule unlocked. 🔓https://t.co/CnxLlFqA7A

Couple funny calls, lol

 

Look at the history of winners
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padel_World_Championship

 

Paraguay lost 5-0 to Japan in the Olympics.

 

I tuned into the France v USA game. Not a bad game but Henry is the manager for France and I had no idea how tatted up he is. I do not recall him being sleeved during his playing days.

 

France extremely fortunate not to be down in this one. Couple posts and a big save. Meanwhile US keeper blows a stoppable long range shot

 

It is a very German style, very methodical and boring and very vertical and the players rarely express themselves. There's no joy or beat to it compared to Gallardo's side. He's muffed up the development of the likes of Simon who looks half the player he was under El Muneco who really lived up to his surname.

 

​

 

This guy is great.

 

Lol - “England, the sore losers!”

“Good goal!”

 

English player also loves to cheat, like Owen dives in both 1998 & 2002, Terry Butcher's elbow to Diego's face before HT, their winning goal in 1966.

However, when it comes to handgoal, they're simply not good at it.



I wonder what's Tevez's thinking there... but O'Shea was actually celebrating the goal, which proof England isnt any difference than Argentina when it comes to this.

 

Luckily it doesn't seem to have affected him too much. As you said there was no plan from what I saw against Lanus. The defence were bailed out by Gattoni a couple of times but there was no discernible shape or rhythm.

No invention or trickery, no joy, no thought. Seeing Solari and Simon pick the ball up and not even dribble, but just hit a ball into the box wildly without thought to no effect is the sort of stuff I'd expect to see in low tier football. And so vertical too. Demichelis is the antithesis of what River should be about. He should know better as well.

The sooner he is gone the better.

 

How bad are the Kiwis for the Yanks to be thumping them like this?

 

Really bad. Busio had like 5 mins to decide where to shoot on that last goal

 

Guinea score 2 goals v France… and both are taken away by VAR. Still 0-0.

 

Martin Demichelis has been fired as River Plate coach

He will take charge of his final game tomorrow against Sarmiento

Given how badly they’ve been playing it’s hardly a surprise. River have a squad that should see them stroll past most teams in Argentina pic.twitter.com/rEAXCdFKNT

You were saying...

 

I've just sent my resume to the board....

 

Nothing fishy about that at all.​
