Union sporting director Ernst Tanner called me from Germany to tell me “There is not a piece of truth” in reports linking Mario Balotelli to Philadelphia
Can someone give me the cliffs on this? What happened in the first leg? Full riot?
Second leg. Boca bus was attacked, cops shot teargas, multiple Boca players injuelred
First leg went fine?
they tied at the bombonera in the first leg. no major incidents IIRC.
Boca played the home leg at home. When they showed up for the away leg they were attacked.
I wouldn't say it exactly went "fine" as it was extremely inconvenient for me personally when the game was suspended due to torrential downpour in Buenos Aires. I was at a bar watching players warm up, thinking I'm about to see a super classico when in reality Fubo TV was replaying an earlier superclassico to fill the airspace. The rescheduled game went fine on Sunday and ended 2-2, but as noted it was pretty fkn' far from "fine" as far as my personal schedule that weekend was concerned, although I did end up watching the game at home on my ipad via illegal stream with Arabic commentary.
Would be interesting to hear from the few that are still watching them... what happened? Is it a confidence issue?
I've seen a bunch of games- but far from all.
Lets make this simple for everyone. DO to fan incidents River forfeits the 2nd leg. End of discussion. Fans who attacked the bus face criminal charges and banned from all Soccer matches and stadiums for life. River pays a fine as well. End of discussion.
Ah. Ok. That makes more sense. Just going off headlines I inferred it wrong. Play the damn game where it is suppose to played. Just police it accordingly.
The Soccernomics authors criticized lower-table Prem clubs for all too often failing to take chances with new, innovative managers instead of safe English guys who more or less "looked the part." Hughes's portrait could have illustrated that page of the book.
I think this Hasenhüttl guy who is rumored to be in the running to take over at Southamption could be very good. That's not to say I have an opinion of his tactical acumen based on personal observation, but a good friend of mine in Germany has been singing his praises for some time now and I've been keeping an eye on him. He's young and apparently very innovative. The one thing that is somewhat odd is that he's been unemployed since last spring. Apparently, he had a falling out with RedBull management and left Leipzig with nothing in the works, and has not been able to catch on anywhere in the meantime.roadkill1292 said:
40-19-24 in his 83 games at Leipzig, which exhausts my knowledge of him. The question also remains if there's enough bite on the current roster to escape relegation. There's still 24 games to go but tell me they haven't looked like something that flopped out of a tall cow's butt.
funny- was watching one of the derby games on sunday, and the wife commented on the grass- asking if it was astroturf/fieldgrass. couldn't believe it was real. reminded me...the trip I did to germany (same trip playing against cameroon) when I was 18- we played in a bundesliga 2 (or whatever the league was called back then- 2nd divsion) stadium for our last game- the field was so perfect I was tempted to do what gingertowicz said. laid on the grass for a bit on my belly instead- looking straight across the field... perfect crown in the middle and not a blade out of place. it was a thing of such beauty I get a little weepy thinking about it.

I pass the facility on my way to work every day. I've not gotten over there to tour the full facility but the parts I see are impressive.
I am a bit confused and still trying to put the pieces together.
