Club Soccer That’s Not The Premier League Thread

[Snorky's Shame]

Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?

 

[bruin]

Looks like Kalvin Phillips to City. @Yankee151 @bruin228

 

[Yankee151]

Pretty cheap for him overall. City having a great window even outside of Halaand

 

[bruin]

Phillips official. He and Rodri in the midfield.

 

[goblue96]

CR7 to Chelsea?

 

[silverwheels]

Origi to AC Milan on a free transfer. No more BIG COCK DIVOCK moments for Liverpool.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Playing for Barcelona seems to be everyone’s childhood dream.

For 95% of those players, it becomes an adult nightmare.

Just waiting for Raphinha to be forced out of the club in two years.

I don't know if I love the actual design, but I do miss those golden days of the black-and-red, so I'll allow it

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Olympiakos, Fenerbahce, Zurich and Malmo all out of the UCL.

Not so long ago Greece and Turkey were top ten leagues. At this rate, Olympiakos will enter at the same time as Lincoln Red Imps.

 

[goblue96]

At one time, the Greeks had a functioning economy too.

 

[bruin]

Pretty sloppy from City in the Community SHIELD.

Good to have the matches back. A week away.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Hertha going to get relegated

 

[doh]

Olympiakos, Fenerbahce, Zurich and Malmo all out of the UCL.

Not so long ago Greece and Turkey were top ten leagues. At this rate, Olympiakos will enter at the same time as Lincoln Red Imps.

Turkey was 11th for 19/20... They're currently 20th and probably going to sink more.

On the other end, the Netherlands was 14th a couple years ago an in danger of falling apart. Ajax basically single handily saved them and they're currently 6th ahead of Portugal for 23/24 allocations. They've got a legit shot to pass France at 5th if PSV qualify for CL.

Scotland was left for dead and are currently 8th for 23/24 too which is interesting.

[Snorky's Shame]

UCL to be on CBS/Paramount until 2030 for $1.5 billion. Amazon was the next highest bidder.

In related news, the UC Regents are looking to see if they can block UCLA from accepting this deal as well.

Internazionale or Napoli could end up in Group C.

 

[goblue96]

Inter or Napoli gonna end up in Group A with Ajax and Liverpool because Ajax....

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Make sure Yaya never goes to a 2009 Barcelona reunion ever again.

[goblue96]

Ajax won so not a total loss for me.

 

[kella]

James Milner gave away a penalty and got a yellow 5 minutes later which begs the question why is James Milner on the field for a premier league contender in TYOOL 2022

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Copa Libertadores going to have another all Brazilian final as Flamengo eliminate Velez Sarsfield 6-1 on aggregate.

The competition has basically turned into another Copa Brasil with a few Argentine squads invited.

Hello darkness my old friend…

No choice but to start Pique but Sergi Roberto and Busquets?

When does the World Cup start?

 

[kella]
