2018-19 Soccer Thread - Africa Loses the World Cup - Tottenham Comes in Second

[FallingHigher]

Well that escalated quickly...thought we’d get at least a week of outrage and drama rather than it fizzling out after 2-3 days

i've had farts that linger longer than these ESL plans lasted

Rangers won the Scottish League without losing a game

Talk about ending Celtic's 9 year streak in style

[Mayareira]

It has been around 35 years since a team other than Celtic or Rangers became champions in SPL. Its as if they have a league of their own in the league. Arsenal’s EPL championship without losing a game was an unbelievable achievement but this is…not so much.

Celtic dominated the league for 9 years because Rangers got relegated to the lowest division if I recall correctly.

Not sure if this is healthy for the Scottish football. I would like to see other teams stepping up for a challenge but its obvious that they are structurally too weak to do so.

That was one of the most terrifying moments I’ve had in a football game.

Some positive news, apparently his heart stopped but w/fast first aid he appears to have regained consciousness.

edit: good news, he is stable.

Can't imagine how terrifying it's gotta be from his POV. They said he doesn't remember much. One min he's playing football at a huge tournament, next min he's at the hospital without knowing wtf happened. Hope it doesn't end his career.

Goal of the tournament settled already

[Mayareira]

Brazil - Argentina WC Qualifiers halted (for 50 mins and counting) because Brazilian health authorities came into the field for 4 players who apparently violated COVID rules.

edit: according to Brazilian authorities those 4 had a deportation decision on them.

edit 2: game over, Argentina are leaving. so much for game of the day lol

[Tyrath]

I was reading the players were in Brazil for 3 days and the authorities didn't do anything until match time? Seems intentional lol

Translation

Today's FIFA decision is unacceptable to us. In the situation of the war in Ukraine, we are not interested in the game of appearances. Our position remains the same: the Polish national team WILL NOT PLAY against Russia in the play-off match, regardless of the name of the Russian team.

It depends on how much the ruble tanks if the bribery money is worth as much to FIFA
