Really enjoyed watching today's game at a Gooner bar in Cincy. Stumbled across it. Wasn't looking for a fight. Was nice to go up to the girl at the bar in the Rashford kit and sing Glory Glory with her after Fellaini scored the winner.

If the new Canadian Premier League actually gets off the ground, would they be in this competition? Or would it's Champion go directly to the Champions League?
The winners of League1 Ontario and PLSQ are joining this cup competition next year, but that won't improve things much. I don't know why the hesitation towards PDL clubs joining
So it's official. Calvary FC!
Not sure about this name. The games are being played a Spruce Meadows, the famous equestrian venue, so I guess they're going with the entire horse theme.

Wait, is it Calvary or Cavalry? The former will get you a lot of support from evangelicals

Re: All threads are temporary. This one's about soccer.
Understatement.
The Keeper should retire. One - or two - of the worst things I have ever seen on a soccer pitch. Liverpool played their guts out, certainly it was a very equal game. and for once, their defending was top notch.
To lose their best player so early in the game and then to lose because of those two goals? Inconceivable.

Re: All threads are temporary. This one's about soccer.
The 2nd goal was horrible - the sort of thing you see maybe once a season in the EPL.
But the first goal is something that I have literally never seen before - and I coached junior house league soccer with kids as young as 7.

On that second one, I couldn’t tell, was he trying to catch it or punch it? If catch, I guess that’s why so many goalies punch everything these days?
Totally Kafkaesque

Re: All threads are temporary. This one's about soccer.
It looked like he was - for some weird reason - trying to punch it. It also looked like he both misjudged its approach angle and closed his eyes.
I'm a Bills fan who gave Scott Norwood the obligatory standing O at the home opener the next season. A fine example of fans doing what they felt they were supposed to do. No one trusted him that season. There were comments every time he stepped up to kick. And he went from being Mr. Automatic to being a shaky kicker.
And what happened yesterday to Liverpool is way, way, way worse. In all honesty, if I was a Liverpool fan, I'd be demanding that Keeper's release. Sentiment is great, but will any fan believe in this guy? What would it take? 30 clean sheets next season wouldn't do it.

Re: All threads are temporary. This one's about soccer.
While the never accurate Daily Star quotes:
None of the reputable sites confirm this and a couple of them specifically mention that there is no such clause.According to Don Balon, a Spanish outlet famous for its outlandish claims, the Spurs boss has a release clause in his new contract.

Re: All threads are temporary. This one's about soccer.
random.. The Asian Games football tournament is turning into a farce. It starts on August 14 in Indonesia and the draw for the 24 teams was done earlier this month. Except they forgot two teams, Palestine and UAE. So tomorrow they have to redo the draw with 26 teams.
That aside, what is important to you folks here is that Spurs have released Son Heung-Min for the tournament. They are banking on Korea winning gold and Son being exempt from miiltary duty.
It's been rough for Son
2012 he declined going to the London Games to try and make the team in Hamburg. Korea won bronze and all the players were exempt
2014 he was not allowed to go the the Asian Games in Korea by Bayer Leverkusen. Korea won gold and all players were exempt
2016 Son plays in the Rio Games and Korea loses in the quarterfinal to fucking Honduras.

So who are the Arsenal supporters here? Leaning heavily towards them as my EPL team mainly due to my favorite author.

Nick Hornby? As far as EPL I’d say I root for Arsenal though not going to pretend I’m a diehard.

Other than Chelsea, there is no worse team you could support.
not because it's a bad team, but because it's a horrible, horrible cesspool of horribleness.
But, it's up to you...
There is of course a better way. There's a place in North London where life is great and where the Son always shines...
