[phaginator]

you should know by now idgaf about the national team but besides Onana they're all born and raised here so not even sure what you're getting at

I respect them more for at least representing Belgium, there are others that choose to represent the chithole their (grand)parents escaped from since that's "the country of their heart" for some reason lmfao (f.e. the entire Morocco squad)

also not everyone was dressed like a clown, there are some normal brahs among them

LMFAO, yeah bro "Onana" surely a true belgian. In a few years your national squad will look like that from France.

What a joke sport

[TokenV]

was looking at the standings for the EURO qualifiers

this Moldova run has been going under the radar



to think they barely managed a draw the first game at home against Faroe Islands

draw against Czech Republic, 4/6 against Poland

impressive

too bad Albania has a game against Faroe Islands left so it's gonna be to keep a fighting chance against Czech Republic last game for Moldova

[ReppinHoes69]

Breaking ~ Everton deducted 10 points for breaking FPP rules

Man City have 115 charges of breaching FPP rules against them and they go scot free wow

The Premier League has become a joke!

Don't we have one dude who is very much anti-Everton? I'm sure he'll be glad to hear this.

RIP El Tel

Former England manager Terry Venables has died at the age of 80. A statement issued on behalf of his family said: "We are totally devastated by the loss of a wonderful husband and father who passed away peacefully yesterday after a long illness. Venables was in charge of the England men's national team between 1994 and 1996. During that time, the side reached the semi-finals of the 1996 European Championships, where they were knocked out by Germany on penalties.

In his managerial career, Venables was also in charge of clubs including Crystal Palace, Tottenham, and Barcelona. As a player, he represented sides including Chelsea, Spurs and Queens Park Rangers.

I don't believe it (Arsenal v Brentford).

I kept calling Kai Havertz useless but I said that he keeps himself employed at good clubs because he pulls off a winner right when you need it. Lo and behold, he pulls a winner out of nowhere in this match. He'll go back to being useless for a long while until the next important game, and be a game changer all of a sudden.

Rice though, is solid AF the whole way through.

Kind of a retarded take. Onana was born in Senegal to Senegalese/Cameroon parents. Went to Belgium when he was 11. Learned to speak all three languages fluently (knew French, learned Dutch and German) and then lived here for years and chose to represent Belgium.

The only guy in the squad not born in Belgium, yet the one to do everything he can to be Belgian.

Saka can't be British? Camavinga can't represent France? You say Balotelli can't be Italian? I guess USA is going to have a hard time selecting the true Americans the coming Olympics.

Yep that’s me. Brings joy to my heart to hear Everton will finally get the relegation they deserve.


Great last gasp win for Leicester today too🙂

don't think Belgium's group could've gotten easier (on paper)

Im honestly not even sure if I'll watch it at this point. My interest in the national team has gone down so much.

Also are you guys aware of the story of former Leeds owner accidentally sacking a manager? Great story lmao.

"But it was his problem with purple — associated with funerals in Italy — that left him with a red face shortly after he arrived at Elland Road in January 2014.

‘I was a mess when I got there,’ he admits. ‘My English was very poor. My pronunciation was terrible. When I got there, there was a velvet bloody couch in the suite at Elland Road. It was purple. I said, “Change the bloody couch, I don’t want to see it anymore”. And then they fired the bloody coach!’

Brian McDermott was the coach sent on his way while the velvet couch stayed put. It left Leeds without a manager the night before a home Championship match with Huddersfield. ‘They said, “Who is taking the team tomorrow?”,’ recalls Cellino. ‘I said, “Why? We don’t have a manager?”. They said, “You fired him”. “I fired the manager? S***”."

Well now when we were finally winning a game Brobbey thought it would be a good idea to literally kill the opponents' goalkeeper. Obviously not intentional but extremely reckless.

67 days later the game is finally finished lol

[Barteh]

67 days later the game is finally finished lol

Yeah it's crazy and retarded. Back in 6th though with only 9 points behind CL playoffs spots.

Here in Colombia we had el clasico this weekend. Similar thing happened as in de klassieker a few months ago, home team 0-5 behind and riots broke out. The game was 80mins in and the ref just said well that's it, let's call it the end of the game.

it's called the Challenger Pro League now you outdated swine

meh I'd say 50-50 to end in the playdowns, which is already a better chance than I'd given at the start of the season since there are some teams struggling that I didn't expect (OHL, Charleroi and Westerlo)

and if they do end up in that playdown I think they should always be able to keep 2 teams behind them so direct relegation should be avoidable but it's all still close together

the club needs money boyo, simple as that

modern football is a joke, shame I got suckered in and now I can't get out fml lol

Yes modern football is a joke indeed. Anyway, if some sheik buys malinwa they're saved.

Sunk cost fallacy. I don't care half as much about football as I did 10-15 years ago and I definitely don't let it affect my mood except for the rare occasion like losing to those rats at the world cup.

yeah seems like it's the only way to survive in this toxic playground for foreigners with too much money

same, used to go to every game home and away and even fixed my agenda around it lmfao

now it's only the home games and I'm just less invested overall

when I hear the stories of the olden days it makes me sad as fuk knowing what "product" we are getting nowadays

2 pissening rulings today

- first the bit where the door is open for a "Super League", tbh I couldn't care less even about the Champions League so never gonna watch that chit but fuk the concept in general

brb crying because of too many games and not enough rest brb please start an additional league with at least 14 games each lol

- then the second on a national level (Belgium), there is/was a rule that stated at least 6 players in your squad should have had their youth training in Belgium (reading between the lines it's basically to encourage homegrown, Belgian players...)

well Antwerp went to court stating this wasn't in accordance with the law of freedom of movement for workers in the European Union

in short: they can import foreign players by the busload now and say FUK OFF to their youth players




a good day for football lmfao

not sure how long I'm going to keep up with this circus, in a rational field I would've gotten out a loooooong time ago already

First one makes sense and I saw that one coming from miles away. Why'd the UEFA and FIFA have that kind of authority over the clubs, if they want to start their own leagues they should be free to.

The second one is annoying though, fuk the EU and their bullchit.

[TokenV]

the clubs are tied to their national FA and UEFA though and they have always reaped the benefits (dat dere TV and CL money f.e.)

imo the national FAs should just ban teams that refuse to compete in UEFA competitions, that way they are free to do whatever they want lol

f.e. Man City want to play Super League? fine, fuk off from the PL and CL and if you ever want to return you can start at the bottom lol
