Dewar Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Even better than that, Arsenal is currently last place in the Premier League. If only relegation took place after matchday 1.
Zheroen Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Congratulations to new Premier League champions Leicester City. Hopefully next season for the Gunners will prove a successful promotion campaign and we'll be able to stay up with the big boys in the following season.

sabremike Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 #NYisRed I guess signing a bunch of dinosaurs and ignoring your backline doesn't lead to success in MLS. Who knew? Best part is they are going to fire Kreis which is exactly what they shouldn't do because he is by far their best asset.
odessasteps Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 @richarddeitsch: NBC has retained the rights to the Premier League. It is a new six-year agreement through the 2021-22 season.

Greggulator Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Hipster wannabes. I hope I'm not offending anyone here, but a lot of MLS fandom feels like I'm looking at guys wearing the t-shirt of the band they are going to see in concert.
odessasteps Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I think there is definitely a portion of American soccer fandom that fall into the alternative/hipster fanbase. There was a great article in NYT last year about EPL popularity amongst NY intelligencia / book publishing industry. Also, look at those super expensive glossy soccer magazines like Howler and 6x6. I doubt most sports fans would buy these $15 magazines, esp in an area where print is dying.

Cristobal Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 No, that's an XML error. Edit: That's better. 2nd Edit: No, I read it. It's worse. Please bring back the XML error. 3
Death From Above Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 That article is every reason I've ever made fun of England, with love, in a nutshell. I do enjoy how it worked in everything from racial stereotyping to anti-analytics bugaboo, while also working in traditional internet Rule Britannia carelord "people who like British things incorrectly should be made fun of" though. The breadth of the stupidity was impressive.
MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 You have to see VfR Ahlen vs Nürnberg! That was the worst penalty shootout like in forever. Ahlen's keeper saves three penaltys, the other goalkeeper not even one and guess who won the game... Also it looks like Red Bull Rasen Ballsport Leipzig goes through after some fan missed a Leipzig player and hit the referee on the head with a lighter. Shame, because his own team was leading 1:0...
Death From Above Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Why is the UEFA Supercup on a Tuesday? I mean, it's a friendly game with a nice trophy. But still.
Pete Posted August 11, 2015 Author Posted August 11, 2015 Why is the UEFA Supercup on a Tuesday? I mean, it's a friendly game with a nice trophy. But still. In Georgia, no less.
Death From Above Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 And it's a 4-4 game with ten minutes to go. Fun.

Ahlen's keeper saves three penaltys, the other goalkeeper not even one and guess who won the game... Was it worse than Ukraine vs. Switzerland at the 06 World Cup or Spain vs. Ireland at the 02 World Cup?
SolidGoldBomb Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 And it's a 4-4 game with ten minutes to go. Fun. Wow that was a fun game! I was ready to delete it from the DVR in the second half when Barca went up 4-1 and i started to fwd through it until I saw Sevilla get back into it and make a real game of it! It probably should have gone to PKs as Sevilla missed a real sitter in the last minute of ET. But congrats to Pedro for being the clutch play maker that he's always been and ending his Barca career on a real high note. They are really gonna miss that guy when one of the MSN goes down injured this year.
