Football- News, Rumours, Analysis, gossip and much more.....

Let's create a small community of football lovers out there. This thread intends to add value to our knowledge of the game and to hone our understanding about the game. Although football comes with banter, let us try to keep the discussion objective and civil to the maximum extent possible.

Both Messi and Ronaldo are the legends of the game. Period. So, please do not bring up this debate :)

Bale: “Going into the Euros I wanted to be match-fit. The original plan was to do a season at Spurs and after the Euros still have a year left at Real Madrid.

UPDATE

“Obviously, going into next season, legally my contract says I have to go back to Real Madrid, which is what I stated, which I don't think is being disrespectful to anybody. That's legally what I have to do.

Real Madrid are I guess my parent club and as far as I agreed I was on Tottenham on loan until the end of the season and I go back. That's the plan so far.”

Meunier on Hazard’s spate of injuries: 

"So now you no longer see the messages that say that every injury to Hazard is Meunier's fault?" they ask him in the Belgian media. The former PSG pulled irony to respond: "Yes, that's it, I went to train with Madrid last week and I made a great entry to Hazard again."

@GravityShades https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/03/29/sports/soccer/champions-league-new-format.htmlThe change looks good to me. I just wish they also change the kick off times

@DramaticAdmiral yes looks fulfilling but with more injuries - another advantage to big clubs. And this provision of auto qualification for significant UCL clubs  - sounds absurd !
+1 on kick off times’ change. If you are a day-guy, you can always watch recorded games (Fullmatchsports.co)

"What is the point of a boycott? Will working conditions then change decisively? I think no," said Kroos. He believes that the World Cup draws"great attention" to the existing problems, which can "perhaps" push for improvements.

Kroos announced that he would raise his voice even during the highly controversial Winter World Cup in the emirate. Football can and must draw extreme attention to the problems, again and again. Maybe also in advance or during such a tournament." However, the conditions are "not only because of the World Cup" as they are, which is an argument against the boycott. This is discussed "far too late" anyway, the "wrong" award was "ten years ago". Since then, according to the report of the English "Guardian", thousands of people have died on World Cup-relevant construction sites.

This hobby is like world history in mains. So much one can study. But so little that may be asked. Last time i wasnt asked a single question.

Btw did u guys write simply football or watching/playing football or was it highly specialised like watching epl or following bayern or quizzing or fotball trivia or indian football history etc?

I am going with 'Watching European Football'. I am studying a bit of history of European football and some non-football stuffs (We do not watch football for these things) like the weight of the ball, perimeter of the ground, goal post and many more etc.

Jeez, mentioning "Supporting Arsenal club" in DAF is surely an easy way of getting 190+. No better way of building your character than supporting this club.
