Does this count emotional abuse, like making your significant other have to sit through having to watch a soccer match?

If Americans can sit through watching baseball and Biden fast-farting, people can sit through anything.

Soccer...the only game where halftime is actually more exciting than gameplay.

Well, we know it's not the Superbowl halftime.

Wow, they start early. Do they take a winter break?

Yes, that's when the Federation tries to figure out how to make Legia champions.

Cracovia 1 Piast 1 New striker van Buren provides the team with a point in the 89th minute. 

[blackhawkrush]

Chelsea interested in Szczesny...

Spain, looking to sneak by Uzbekistan, having a nervous end to regular time with Uzi putting pressure on and just missing three good shots at equalizing

Watching women's Japan v Spain and it's off to an exciting start.  Japan went up 1-0 off a beautiful free kick bent perfectly into the upper right corner.

Wisla 1 Rapid 2 Austrian goalkeeper followed the ball with his eyes a few times. Unfortunate we couldn't convert. No fines for flairs from UEFA this time, but the idiots blocked the emergency exits again, 8.000 pounds go to hell.     

[blackhawkrush]

Wisla 0 Polonia 0 Another red card. That's four games in a row, counting the last season.   

[blackhawkrush]

Rakow 0 Cracovia 1 Ravas the goalkeeper, hero of the match.   

[blackhawkrush]

Rapid 6 Wisla 1  Saving energy for Znicz on Sunday?   

[blackhawkrush]

Znicz 2 Wisla 1 Yet another red card. This time with huge consequences.  

[blackhawkrush]

Cracovia 1 Widzew 3 Best we can hope for is middle of the pack. The penny-pinching owner won't allow us to achieve anything more.

Two Ekstraklasa referees, who were scheduled to perform VAR duties at the Dynamo-Rangers game today, have been arrested for carrying a road sign down a street while intoxicated at 1am this morning. Polish Federation has already kicked them out. What mistakes on the field couldn't do, alcohol did.   

[Nova Carmina]

Alright; Liverpool have finished their preseason tour of the US undefeated, so it's time to get down to playing for real. 

 

Don't suppose you've got any big signings coming up, there, have you, Slot?

 

Almost time to start a new thread!

Conference League qualifier: Spartak 3 Wisla 1  Leading 1-0 at halftime, our famous defense fell apart in the second half.

Three-month suspension and a fine. Hopefully UEFA will take this more seriously. Last time they showed no mercy to a Russian referee, who decided to direct traffic somewhere in Israel, while under the influence.
