The story they are telling to calm the storm: Sarri's trainers told Sarri Kep was hurt. Sarri asked for a sub. Kepa did not want to come out because he was feeling fine. Sarri finally douboe checked with medical staff and they told him it was ok to stay in.
There's a little more context to the injury story. Kepa missed the last game (Thursday) with a leg problem. He scrambled for a loose ball late in the game and looked hurt, doing stretches, etc. and it seemed likely he aggravated the same injury. Eventually the physios came out on the field. I think Sarri just assumed he had re-injured the same leg and he got Willie ready and eventually told him to report in. Sarri and Kepa are now saying it was a miscommunication - that Kepa didn't injure the same muscle issue he had during the week, but had a cramp or something. I don't think we'll ever know the truth, and the big question is whether Big **** Willie would have made one more save.
The Curva Sud at Milan Sings it not sure they do anymore but they sing it in Italian. IN fact if you go on Youtube and type in YNWA Fossa Dei Leoni (which was one of the biggest ultra groups Milan had till it dissolved because of issues) there's a tribute video to the team with the song in Italian though it could be another Ultra's group
So a goal kick is up for grabs as long as you start outside the box, even if the ball has yet to leave the box? This is a pretty small but significant change.
Of all the rules that could use a tweak, this was an odd one to focus on to be honest.
As awesome as this is, how about sharing a bday with these fine players?

Yep. They talked about it on a broadcast not too long ago. They want to eliminate the tactical advantage the offense can get if the GK puts the ball into play in a bad spot.Poke_4_Life said:
I think I understand your point, but your statement doesn't make sense. Wouldn't this change enable the tactical advantage for the offense?
The goalkeeper's team has the ball and is on offense. GK plays it to a teammate in a bad spot, who steps inside the line to receive it -- creating a tactical do over that gets them out of trouble.
OK, I get it. To me that is the defense because the defender is the one getting the ball from the GK.
defense(mode of game) vs defender(position)
I think the Philly game is on ESPN+, not ESPN. It is also being shown locally on 6ABC in Philly.
I have not seen any as I don't get ESPN+, but I have heard lots of good reviews.
I was unable to replicate it when I picked my kid up at soccer the other night.
Yep. Simple back heel into an open net. What's the big deal? Not like he chipped an onrushing keeper who's closed the angle with the back of his heel as the ball's flat on the ground or anything.it's a backheel right in front of goal when he knows there's only the GK to beat.
More or less. Guessing it’s only 200 minutes total, though. Learned more about Bob Bradley than I’ve known before.
to me, hes just trying to put it on goal with his heel as hard as he can- it can go up, flat- whatever. its a nice goal... but not anything I'd remember tbh- not the Zlat level type of karate chop type of ####.
Cutrone I believe hit a similar goal for Milan last year but closer. I think it was Cutrone or maybe It was Zlatan or Super Marioit's a backheel right in front of goal when he knows there's only the GK to beat.
