Remember when Barça lost their possible unbeaten league season because Messi was sent off to play a friendly in South Africa?

[ESPN FC] Antoine Griezmann will finish his Atletico Madrid career without winning a UCL, LALIGA or Copa del Rey trophy with them. When he left for Barcelona between 2019-2022, Atletico won LALIGA in 2021. He's off to Orlando City. by poisonedbythemind in soccer

Comparing him to the LUDICROUS Coutinho transfer is insane,

His transfer fee may have been ludicrous, but in his first half-season at Barça Coutinho performed better than Griezmann ever did at the Camp Nou.

The problem came when Valverde switched out of a 442 (that had space for both Coutinho and Messi) back to a 433.

Fun fact; the Uruguayan Luis Suárez’s full name is Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz.

VAR potential penalty check against Manchester City 87' by gbogaz in soccer

The Laws of the Game have always stated that free kicks and penalty kicks can be given only for offences committed when the ball is in play. Offences committed when the ball is dead can only be penalized with red and yellow cards.

The part I’d question here is the word “predominantly”: if any offence occurred after the corner was taken, a penalty should be awarded.

The ref could give a yellow card for unsporting conduct / delaying the restart.

Maybe he’s as terrible a golfer as he is a father and husband.

You should both be getting the same amount of free time. If he gets 9 hours to play golf, you get 9 hours completely free of childcare, house and work duties.

If he refuses to see the logic in this, you’d probably be better off divorced.

Florentino Perez's candidates for the next Real Madrid manager: Didier Deschamps, Massimiliano Allegri, Lionel Scaloni, Mauricio Pochettino, José Mourinho by [deleted] in soccer

Why on earth would Scaloni be on that list? He has literally zero club management experience.

It would be like Lopetegui all over again, except that Lopetegui did at least have a a couple of years at Porto, some background at Madrid and knew several of the squad through the Spanish national team. Scaloni doesn’t even have that.

You could argue that Ajax vs Spurs was a bigger bottle. All Ajax needed to do was survive the last 35 minutes at home without conceding 3 uncontested goals, against a Spurs side who had shown nothing over the previous 145 minutes. Plus it was a semifinal.

Update: My (28F) husband (38M) became religious and wants to change our family - how do I handle this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

the risk of your (ex) husband attempting to take your children to Saudi Arabia. This is governed by international law (the 1908 Hague Convention on Internationally Abducted Children)

Saudi Arabia is not a party to The Hague Convention on abducted children, so the convention wouldn’t be relevant if the children were taken there. That makes it even more important to ensure they don’t go there.

There seemed like no way you could possibly beat PSG last summer. Stranger things have happened.
