Arena "The Beautiful Game" - The Official JCC Football (Soccer) Thread.

Forrest/City was an excellent semi final. City fair winners but Forrest gave them a game and hit the post 3 times. I'll be a Palace fan for the final.




Congrats to Liverpool on the title, the North continues its winning tradition over the South.

 

turns out he did slot right in….

 

“Huh RM are inexplicably in relegation position and other than that 1-0 win over Bayern they bombed out of the Champions League, it’s almost as if they’re trying to lose…”

 

I bet Klopp wishes he'd stayed one more season in the PL now

 

By all accounts that he even stuck around to fix the midfield took a pretty Herculean push on his part. He knew this squad could do it but he also had the self-awareness to know he was no longer the manager who could figure out the critical adjustments. It’s a big credit to the sporting director that they found the guy who could.

 

This hurts to say but....



Come on Arsenal

 

Normal service resumed


lol @ Arsenal

For tomorrow, Come on Inter

 

Based on their Wikipedia page, they sound like a pretty classy organization:

DAMAC Properties was founded in 2002 by Hussain Sajwani,[7] a billionaire Emirati business tycoon.[7][3] The company almost collapsed in the 2008 global financial crisis.[8]
Early in the company's history, the company was criticized for poor-quality building work.[8]
In November 2013, DAMAC announced plans to raise approximately $500 million on the London Stock Exchange via a sale of global depository receipts.[9]
Sajwani is a close friend and associate of Donald Trump.[10] In a 2016 disclosure, Trump reporting received between $1 million to $5 million from DAMAC.[7]
In 2022, Sajwani delisted company stock shares from the Dubai stock exchange.[8] This was controversial, as the company's fortunes were improving and investors were expecting to profit on their investment.[8]

 

Shirt sponsors may honestly be more consistently evil than club owners.

 

And not just the shirt sponsors ... *cries in Dortmund, but at least for reasons other than disappointment on the pitch*

 

This is like a cosmic apology for yesterday’s endless parade of wasted chances.

 

This match is incredible.

 

That was great

 

Maguire channelling his inner Beckham there!




Penalty AND red card, I didn't think "double jeopardy" was a thing now, penalty was enough etc...

 

There is a very real chance two teams considered incredibly awful in England will be contesting the UEFA cup at this rate.
