You’re talking about the Wrexham FC - Chelsea match.
We’re talking about the MLS All-Star game against Arsenal.
So how about Wexham vs All Stars next?Quote:

Is there a salary cap to prevent someone from building a 70s NY Cosmos Death Star team these days?Quote:

Stunning.
Who wore it better? First MLS game Messi or first MLS game Zlatan?
Messi is the GOAT but Zlatan does every thing with style.
I think this. Zlatan's first goal especially was just other worldly.Quote:

We're relying on our outside backs and wingers to go 1 on 2 or even 3 and be successful, sending no one in to show for a pass. Literally no one time after time. Hard to believe. In contrast, Portugal was working to have 3 players showing for the ball at all times. We have space on the far side and even in the middle but there is no way to get the ball there since we have no one to link the play.
And at no point did we switch tactics. Kind of amazing.
I tried to lay low before I watched the recording. I did accidently see post "USA Avoids Embarrassment" so I knew it was going to end in a tie.
Sweden will destroy us unless there are major changes.. Oh well. They're still better than our men hahahahaha
Agree on all points.Quote:

This blows for a number of reasons. He was fun to watch and getting better not the over the hill types that Saudi have signed to date ( even Mahrez best years are behind him) plus shady as fck Saudi can do deals between its league and a team it owns.
$ in football about to get more shady and obvious if that was possible.
So shady sheikh money is only ok if it keeps players in the UK?
I'd prefer there not be journalists, gay people, suffragists, etc blood dripping from a bone saw on it...Quote:
