***Official Football (Soccer) Thread: All leagues and competitions Part 39***

Who knows what will happen. I still home seasons conclude in some way.
Its such a kick in the balls for the players. Careers are short.

Shame to see ronaldo and messi delay on international tournaments considering they are goat.

Sure it gives time for the young guys to have more experience and so on, but it aint fair on players like modric who are old dogs

Leeds fan checking in here (hoping we get back to the promised Land ASAP)!!

it's official EURO 2020 becomes EURO 2021

best decision that could be taken

I'm unsure on this one tbh (yeah it's only over a year away) but only a year from that the World CUP 22 the following Dec and personally i'd support saving that and axing Euro 20 (21) alltogether

Let alone (regradless of Corona) you can not have Euro 20 in 21 unless you you re-name it/re-title it!!

the World Cup is in winter anyway, so there's 1.5 years in between which seems fine

In European winter yeah but in Qatar it's Summer 9low Summer abliet)

[MatthewChav]

the official conclusion of the football season in The Netherlands:

- no champion
- no relegation
- no promotion
- no cup final
- European tickets based on the table as it stands (including the one that was reserved for the cup)

cot damn that's savage

It's looking this way in England too mate - try as they are to G us up that it's coming back

Pains me to say it - but I bet we are out for 5 years Worldwide!! Could even be Ten (though hoping not) but I am a pesamist anyhow ... though you can't help being born that way, can you??

[MatthewChav]

they just need to postpone the EUROs to next year

the WC22 is in winter anyway so why not

that way we can finish the national leagues if we're lucky enough for the situation to get better quick (let's hope)

You mean Domestic ones - not that silly new National 1 in-between times yeah Token m8!!??

that truly is badass, never gets old, GOATnaldo

[anisemitez]

Lol people still try and say VVD isn't the best defender in the world.. Best defender & player award beating Ronaldo and Messi to it.

VVD is not the best, the best defenders are the likes of Cannavaro and Maldini!

[anisemitez]

Forza Lazio

Lazio was so close to winning the league.

Newcastle Scouts: "Ok, who would you like to purchase?"
House of Saud: "Yes"

Newcastle offering 100m for Coutinho.

What's 100m to 300b?

Fuk FFP.

I can hardly believe it. Supported Newcastle since 2004, including both Championship campaigns. Watched as we squabbled over piddly transfer sums and bought players on the cheap and sold for profit (like Sissoko) without any reinvestment.

They are now the richest sports team in the fukkin world. lmao

this is a documentary made by the Dutch television network years ago, I remember seeing it back in the day and it's really an awesome watch, this is what football is all about

they just posted it again on the youtube channel, just skip the intro and most after that is in English

it's basically the story of Exeter City and Swansea City that are fighting to avoid relegation to the amateur divisions in 2003, and after they also revisit them 3 years later

some real raw football culture here brahs

it's bittersweet to see the contrast between Swansea's new stadium and the old Vetch Field, you know it's necessary in a way but all the charm is just gone as a side effect

[TokenV]

u ready brahs?

[TokenV]

where are them football brahs at?

[hoganrulz]

Didn't watch the games but got money on Bayern Munich tomorrow. Anyone watch them today? What was it like without spectators? Anyone hug celebrating a goal? Were they all in masks? Is VAR still being used?

[TokenV]

What was it like without spectators?

it wasn't as bad as I had feared tbh, might just be the result of the football draught that I'm just easy to please atm

it will start to disappoint after a couple of games though imo

Anyone hug celebrating a goal?

didn't see one today but I don't think you can stop that from happening lol

Were they all in masks?

players on the pitch and coach don't wear a mask, all other do as far as I could tell

Is VAR still being used?

yes, Freibrug scored 1-2 against Leipzig at the end of the game but it was disallowed by VAR for offside

[TokenV]

Union Berlin 4-0 down in the derby, ouch...

2 Belgians scoring (Lukebakio & Boyata)

[Unfinishedsenta]

I've been away for years, nice to see this still semi active

[TokenV]

20,000 cardboard fans in the Mönchengladbach stadium for the Leverkussen game this afternoon

[TokenV]

25 years ago today...

[TokenV]

how come this thread is so dead?

biggest game in the Bundesliga (and the world atm) being played as we speak

a Dortmund win would really open everything up again

if Leipzig, Leverkussen and Gladbach can win their matches (not impossible) we could get 5 teams within 6 points

jetzt geht's los

I think things are just weird right now. Maybe it hasn't set in that there's some football going on. It's just not the same feeling. I mean think about it. Liverpool should be being crowned champions right now. Sports are a big part of culture and are very seasonal. And like the weather, it's almost something we can feel. So things are out of whack. It's tough to get excited for merely one league returning.

Also, a lot of this thread doesn't follow Bundesliga closely. The main leagues haven't started back up yet.

Bundesliga isn't a main league?



also: 0-1 for Bayern, suspense is pretty much gone now unfortunately
