Dolfan in NYC Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 So... last night in a Copa Sudamericana match, Zulia beat National de Potosi, 1-0. The insanity of this otherwise mundane score is National took 54(!!!) shots. Here's the shot chart: Soccer fucking rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Don't know much about English football, but there's talks in Argentina and Italy that Biesla wants to sign Nahitan Nández from Boca. If so, holy cow. Massive under the radar signing. Nández is an absolute beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he half the player Mata was at his peak at Valencia? He's a different player to Mata -- he's more of a box-to-box CM, but yes, he's really good. He's never played in Europe before though, but I'm confident he can adapt. The player he resembles the most to me is Radja Nainggolan (who I'm a massive fan of). He was great for Uruguay in the World Cup and is easily one of the best players in South America, so it's surprising no one else from a first division league in Europe has gone after him. I know he was linked with a move to Atleti and I was stoked to see him play under Simeone as I think he would fit in like a glove, but that nothing ever came from it unfortunately. @ 0:47 and 0:57 are my favorite moments.

AxB Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 England U-21 vs Germany U-21 on Tuesday. Stars of the future collide and all that, but also Germany's under 21's manager is everyone's favourite German player from the 90s. People who hated Germany would buy a shirt, just to have his name on the back. His name is Stefan Kuntz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Spurs' new stadium is finished, first competitive game there next week. Also, 2 NFL games a season there for the next ten years at least. And they want to host a Superbowl soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, very high chance I'm heading up North for the Madrid Derby or heading to Houston for the game vs. Chivas at least. Friendly or not, I just want to see Simeone and the boys as I wasn't able to attend any games when I was there in the summer, although I did do the stadium tour which was an amazing experience.

Guest Edwin Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Piqué said on a Spanish TV show he created a WhatsApp chat for Barça players and staff and sometimes they'll invite Real Madrid journalist and start sending them pig emojis and they'll start trolling them and then they'll kick them out of the chat.
