Futbol thread.

For true fans of the thread, bruno guimarães has apparently told Newcastle he wants to leave and join Arsenal. How true this is, no idea but the fact that something is being put out publicly means there is a fire somewhere. Considering Isak moved last year, Gordon moved before the World Cup, and Tonali moved during the World Cup, he is probably looking at his future now that Brazil is out and seeing that Newcastle are going to need to reload the squad to get back to the level they were previously at competing for a Champions League place but doesn't want to waste a year or two struggling with a team like that
 
MLS needs a relegation system or forever remain as a retirement home.

That's bullshit. Soccer doesn't have the fan base to support that in this country. It's because all of our top tier athletic children want to play football, baseball, basketball, and hockey over soccer. Soccer is an afterthought. Especially nowadays where they're intensely focusing on just one sport instead of playing multiple sports throughout the year. That's also one of the theorized reasons for the spike in soft tissue and ligament damage like the rash of Achilles injuries in the NBA. Kids are hyperfocusing on one sport all year which puts more mileage on their bodies before they even get to college or the pros. Instead of playing multiple sports and all around strengthening their muscles and ligaments, theyre putting reoeated stress on the ones that are most in use by their sport of choice like pitchers wearing out their UCL and needing Tommyjohn surgery as a matter of course.
 
The other day he showed us exactly why he's in the MLS and not elsewhere. One of the biggest goalkeeper blunders I've ever seen on the biggest stage imaginable.
I'm sure Rob Green's famous whoopsiedoodle against us in 2010 has already been brought up, but it bears rewatching.

It has a fanbase.

The kind that votes for politicians like Scott Weiner or Newsom. And as a inverse of soccer fans outside America, the average soccer fan in this country in general is an upper middle class proggie that wants to clone teams from Europe in the gayest way without the "toxic chud" culture.

What has Newcastle achieved since they have been bought by the Saudis?

Other news for true fans of the thread, Glasner is going to coach Nottingham Forest and Arbeola is going to take over in Fulham. Honestly, I did not see this coming.
 
The goyim know, shut it down

Tapia has been investigated here for a while now.

No one that actually enjoys fútbol endorses Tapia.
The ones that do are clearly into the fraud.

He shouldn't have been allowed to attend WC. Yet,
it looks like being Grondona's successor and Infantino's buddy
has more pull than the law of the country.

And since Yanks don't care about fútbol,
the least biased sentence can be somewhat expected.
Tax evasion in the US and NOT being a US politician?
He'll be thoroughly fucked, one can hope.

None of this will bring back your team from having been eliminated, though.

Accept the fact your team didn't make it through, like a man.
Accept you're over-invested in blaming others for your team's blunders.
The fact you don't is the reason that the rest of the fútbol world
hates your fans and your national team(s).

Accept that winning or losing a match will not fix your country.

That Registration guy already did, his posting quality became better,
and since we all third world inhabitants have a very similar story to tell,
his heartbreak is relatable. Every time Brazil doesn't make it to the finals,
every fan of the sport feels that something is wrong.

Meanwhile, most of LatAm wants (alphabetical order) Argentina, Colombia and Mexico out.
Who is the objectively Jeetest crowd out of that bunch of undesirables...?

As a casual spectator, would you prefer crowds throwing piss and shit at you,
or you would rather have one waving an Israel flag over the Egyptian bench?

I won't deny that the inherent schadenfreude codified into the sport,
that fleeting illusion of belonging to a nation that is better at something
than their neighbouring countries provides a high like no other.

There's always a bigger conversation about this whole thing
that LatAm countries need to have, yet the immature pettiness
of the usual suspects prevents any civil discourse.

By all means, keep researching the politics of a country (just as broken and corrupt as yours)
that just so happens to once again stay on the World Cup road
in order to justify your self-righteous moral entitlement to be irrationally angry.

That is certainly easier than making a difference in your homeland or, God forbid,
enjoying this once-each-four-years Theater of the Human Absurd that is never fair,
but certainly provides a sizeable amount of cultural funny to everyone tuning in.-
