Congrats to Argentina and Italy for the big wins. Messi finally gets that monkey off his back and Italy shuts up millions of English fans, for the time being. 02-13-banana

The FoxSports coverage of the Copa was terrible, as if only two players were on the pitch. The Brits are so much better at soccer coverage and made the Euro on ESPN much more enjoyable.

Yeah, the the FS coverage was cringe; howver, almost everyone watching knew the main focus was Messi seeing as it was more than likely his last chance (barring next years WC) to finally win a title with Argentina. So, no surprise that's what they focused on. Neymar played great and show great sportsmanship after the match. I'm hopoing ESPN does well with La Liga but am going to miss Ray Hudson. Dude just made the games entertaining, IMO.

I agree with you on Fox Sports however I disagree with you on the Brits. The Brits are so obnoxious, condescending, and have little knowledge of The game outside England. Delpiero and Khedira analysis was superior to the Brits and Americans.

Looks to be real. Messi leaving Barcelona. Something about La Liga forcing them to choose between accepting the CVC deal to keep Messi or not choosing the deal and not being able to keep Messi. TBH, that CVC deal is terrible and the club should definitely object, but this is mostly on the former Barcelona board for being complete idiots.

Pretty sure City would like a refund on the Graelish deal. Only other team that can afford him is PSG.

Ronaldo would've worked so much better at the top of MC's formation...if Solskaer continues to push a high press, Ronaldo doesn't have the movement left in his legs to play that way.

So, Brighton will be top of the table for the 1st time ever if they get all 3 points today. Crazy.... Look, they have a pretty decent defense, but just imagine if they had any offense on the squad, might be looking at Europe if they could score. Fairly friendly fixtures so far as well.

This was worth sharing.

Sadio Mané - formerly of Liverpool in the English Premier League, and now on Bayern München of the German Bundesliga - hails from Senegal and makes over $10 Million/year playing the sport. While at Liverpool, he gave the world a rude awakening after some fans were shocked when they saw him carrying a cracked iPhone11. Here was his response...

"Why would I want 10 Ferraris, 20 diamond watches, and 2 jet planes? I starved, I worked in the fields, played barefoot, and I didn't go to school. Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools and a stadium, provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive some of what life has given me."

This guy has instantly become my favorite footballer.
