The first women's Clasico was played today. Barcelona has had a team for a while and won 4-0. Madrid acquired an existing team to start competition this year. Great to see this growing.
I never knew there was such a thingPretty blah day when the biggest news is Arsenal sacking Gunnersaurus
After Partey signs for Arsenal, the three best CMs in North London:The Thomas Partey deal is probably the biggest of deadline day. It could prove to be a boon to Arsenal.

1. Ndombele
2. Lo Celso
3. Hojbjerg
Not surprising they played Juventus who Calcio officials are in the pockets of. Any other clubs this game is being played at some other time when it can be possibleApparently Napoli was on the plane to travel and got grounded by the local health authorities. Matches get postponed if they have 4 positive tests. Napoli only had 2. So, they could have otherwise shown up and played but for the health department. As a result, Serie A decided to force them to forfeit.
Classic Serie A.
I kept seeing the Gunnersaurus thing on twitter but I didn’t realize they did it to cut costs. Ozil making £350,000/week to do nothing but the big fuzzy mime makes too much money.Sinn Fein said:Pretty blah day when the biggest news is Arsenal sacking Gunnersaurus

I was so sad that Jerry Quy aka our famous & loyal mascot @Gunnersaurus and integral part of our club was being made redundant after 27 years. As such, I’m offering to reimburse @Arsenal with the full salary of our big green guy as long as I will be an Arsenal player..
"Did it to cut costs...." On the same day they paid a €50M release clause for Partey..... Sure.I kept seeing the Gunnersaurus thing on twitter but I didn’t realize they did it to cut costs. Ozil making £350,000/week to do nothing but the big fuzzy mime makes too much money.
The player was Junior Flemmings, a Jamaican international and USL’s top goal scorer this season. He’s been suspended for the rest of the season and the Rising placed him on administrative leave until his contract expires in October, so I doubt he’ll be back. Nothing on Schantz which is making a lot of fans angry.Here is a subtitled video of Landon arguing with ref and with Schantz. I don't blame the ref here as he is in a bad spot if he didn't hear nor understand the term.
I don't think Schantz comes off well at all. It is almost like he is saying "this is a part of the game".

The Phoenix player has totally denied saying it, FWIW.
Chelsea sign promising young goalkeeper Sami Tlemcani from Paris FCIs it a thing now to refer to PSG as "Paris" - like in this graphic? Because I've been seeing that the past year or so and it really messes with my OCD. There are presumably a ton of soccer clubs in Paris, and this one is named Paris Saint-Germaine. I remember a club named "Racing Paris" but haven't seen much from them for years. There is a well-known naming convention for the two big Milan clubs, but I've never heard of PSG being called "Paris" until about a year ago. This seems like referring to a club as "Madrid" or "Manchester." This really pisses me off!
The latest player to join the Chelsea Academy is 16-year-old Sami Tlemcani. The young goalkeeper arrives from Paris FC, who are renowned for their brilliant youth setup (and are not to be confused with Paris Saint-Germain, i.e. PSG).
Garbage. And Juve was all too happy to take it. So classy.Apparently Napoli was on the plane to travel and got grounded by the local health authorities. Matches get postponed if they have 4 positive tests. Napoli only had 2. So, they could have otherwise shown up and played but for the health department. As a result, Serie A decided to force them to forfeit.

And people outside of Calcio fans wonder why non Juve supporters hate Juve so much. If theres one thing @El Floppo and myself agree on it's hating Juventus. Then again it comes with the territory with Turin in next to Lombardy region.Garbage. And Juve was all too happy to take it. So classy.
Juve twitter kept posting the starting line up and posting team getting off the bus acting like nothing happened. However some of the Curva for Napoli had banners in poor taste about Juve. Juve players took the pitch as well. Napoli I believe are trying to fight the decision as well and might take FIGC to court over it as in the rules in CALCIO a forfeit is not rewarded if cancelation is from the local government or some outside circumstances preventing the club to travelApparently Napoli was on the plane to travel and got grounded by the local health authorities.

Thats worse then Zidane's headbutt. That player should be banned for a year. Clear intent. Presumable he didn't get sent off because he didn't hit him in the face with a shotgun though.Almiron took a flying forearm playing for Paraguay.
VAR reviewed this and gave it a yellow, presumably because he didn’t also wrap his arm in barbed wire beforehand.

I figured this would happen when I asked about bro... He's left DC to join gonzo at interstitial miami.I think his brother is still with DC UnitedWhoa. Hadn't heard about that at all.
Is his brother still on the league? Thought he had retired or moved on....
Wow, didn't realize he was sent out on loan... I like the kid and wasn't sure why he didn't get more time. Would rather of seen him get games then Fosu Mensah.Ok @B Maverick what can you tell me about Milan's new RB Diogo Dalot? From what I've read since Mourinho left he hasn't been able to get ample playing time. Any chance if he impresses at Milan ManU would sell him to Milan or another club or keep him? It seemed like Milan was negotiating an option to buy from ManU but they declined and right now it's a dry loan. There's rumors Milan may try during the year to renegotiate the loan for an Option to buy or make the deal permanent.
A little bit. It's pretty disgusting. Billionaires taking advantage of the less fortunate during a global pandemic to consolidate their power. Who would've thought.Anyone following this Premier League Big 6 breakaway/ Project Big Picture stuff?
From what I read he rated high with Jose but when manager switch came Ole Gunner didn't rate him highly and he only managed 14 games do to injury. ManU took AWB because of his more defensive prowess. Do to AWB playing better and injuries he only got 14 games inWow, didn't realize he was sent out on loan... I like the kid and wasn't sure why he didn't get more time. Would rather of seen him get games then Fosu Mensah.
He's not as good defensively as AWB but more creative and quicker going forward. I thought he was a better fit at wingback then AWB when Ole went 3 in the back. He's young and raw and needs playing time. Needs to try and cut down on the flair at times when he joins the attack - less step overs and dancing, more creativity. Has potential though.
I would expect they negotiate a sale like Smalling to Roma if he has an impressive loan. With Telles, Shaw, Williams, AWB and some other kids coming up, not sure he gets back in the team. Unless he is just too good to sell after the loan? Or Bruno demands his chauffer back...
Not sure why Ole didn't rate him. But he was a Jose signing, had some injury issues and needs to improve defensively.
You mean just your typical EPL big 6 corruption going on right?Anyone following this Premier League Big 6 breakaway/ Project Big Picture stuff?

We had a good time with this story in the US thread.......Freddy Adu Sighting!
Freddy Adu, who was once dubbed 'The Next Pele', has signed with Swedish side Osterlen FF
AC Milan Women last month played the Juve Women At the San Siro for the first Women's match at the San Siro. The Derby Della Modena Between the Women of Inter and Milan will be played on Sunday there a day after the Men hit the pitchThe first women's Clasico was played today. Barcelona has had a team for a while and won 4-0. Madrid acquired an existing team to start competition this year. Great to see this growing.
Still true.Watching Season 1 now to help fill the void. It’s pretty great, and also required viewing for up-and-coming Yankee Geordies like myself who are taught to hate all things Sunderland. I haven’t quite internalized that hatred yet, but I’m working on it, outside of Jordan Pickford and his tiny little useless hands. He’s terrible and I want him to fail at everything.
Lukaku tweeted after the Match Milan has a new King (meaning him). Ibra tweeted Sunday "Milan never had a king it has a God with a pic of himself"Huh. Not a word about the milan derby. Surprising.
RB are a mess for sure, but Covid has screwed up the whole season. Many teams are a messWatching for Caden Clark, I watched my first RB minutes in a while. Oof. Not good. Found myself rooting for ORL after a bit. It's like the RB organization has pulled the plug on that team...I like Royer and all, but he's a role player on some team- not their key player.
I feel bad for the guy, those are the ones he usually scores, but something isn't working at LAG for him.Yahoo sports taking a deep cut.......

Seriously? #### Chicharito. Hate him. He sucks when not playing for El Tri. I just hope now he sucks when playing for El Tri also.I feel bad for the guy, those are the ones he usually scores, but something isn't working at LAG for him.
yeah, it is even worse when you read that he has been a complete tool while at LA. This is from an ESPN reporter in LASeriously? #### Chicharito. Hate him. He sucks when not playing for El Tri. I just hope now he sucks when playing for El Tri also.
