it's soccer.....who cares
Wife clearly cheated on him w/a soccer player...
nah. got with your wife because she likes a man who watches real sports...especially ones where fans don't celebrate ties after 90 minutes of play
nope. I tried to get excited about soccer but it lost me when I saw social media posts from individuals all excited about the US team getting a tie in a game.
Their offsides rules are ridiculous as well (at least what I recall back in the day from FIFA)
don't take it out on me just because your sport sucks
Can someone explain in simple terms what the rules are? The article basically says they lied about sponsorship funding. Are you only allowed to put so much of your own money into the club budget?
I heard on the radio yesterday that this is a pretty big deal. Apparently it’s similar to a salary cap and if you exceed it, you can get a post-season ban...which is big because when you’re trying to recruit/sign players, who wants to play somewhere when they can’t play in the postseason. I’m sure it’s much more complicated than this, though.
You’re both right. It’s called “financial fair play”. Basically, your club has to mostly pay for itself through its own revenue. It was put in play when owners like Portsmouth’s and Glasgow Rangers’ basically bankrupted their clubs with debt, others had rich owners sink tons in for prestige then go boom-bust, and the biggest clubs were doing all sorts of shady things to raise capital and it was impossible for smaller clubs to compete.
And it's already hard enough for them to compete too. Leicester is definitely a feel good success story, at least for me, as they've really been an exception to this, at least recently.
What Leicester City have done is incredible. They’ve just won by outsmarting the rest of the league in coaching and player acquisitions. Buying a player from a non-league team like Vardy. Recognizing that Wes Morgan, Jamaica’s center back, was going to be the best captain in the EPL and both helped lead them to a title. Hiring Rainieri, Shakespeare, and now Brendan Rogers. Just awesome. They’re my go to Champions League team to root for, outside of the teams that start Americans.
Oh crap. That's awful! RIP Pep's mom.And now Pep Guardiola’s mother has died of the coronavirus.
If I know anything about women, it’s they really pick men based on what sport they watch.
As far as who cares… try and buy some tickets for the World Cup. Clearly people do.
