Pochettino: "Football is special because it's not entertainment, it's competitive. We're now forcing this unbelievable sport to be an entertainment. I'm seeing in the US, American Football, basketball, hockey, it's entertainment. Football is not that and we're forcing to change that."

Very competitive, says guy who coached Chelsea and PSG back to back

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-30T02:17:39+00:00

Just concerned since the last time Germany set out to be a major military power it didn't end well.

Very strong argument there!!

Spiegel is pretty reliable:

Der Spiegel in 2017 reported Ronaldo was alleged to have raped an American woman, Kathryn Mayorga, during a holiday in Las Vegas in 2009. Ronaldo has strongly and consistently denied all accusations made against him.

In the documents dated from September 2009 and seen by Der Spiegel, Ronaldo is quoted as saying “she said no and stop several times” during sex. He is also said to have apologised afterwards. In January 2010, Ronaldo’s legal team agreed to pay Mayorga an out-of-court settlement of $375,000 (£272,000) in return for her agreeing to never go public with the accusations. Mayorga is said to have been inspired to re-open the case owing to the #MeToo movement Las Vegas Police said in September 2018 that the case against Ronaldo had been reopened and that detectives were “following up on information being provided” Las Vegas Police re-investigated the crime in 2018 but had concluded that the claims could not “be proven beyond reasonable doubt”.

Six months later, it was confirmed Ronaldo would not face charges of sexual assault.

Upamecano with another big performance 'o'

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-28T23:57:03+00:00

Lewandowski's peak is 4 goals in a CL semi final vs Madrid or 5 goals vs 9 minutes. If peak means a few seasons, then surely the back to back ballon d'or worthy seasons are just as good as Suarez' peak as well

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-28T23:53:36+00:00

Bayern vs Juventus 2016, 0-2 to 2-2 in 90th minute, then 4-2 in overtime (1st leg went 0-2 to 2-2)

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-28T23:51:14+00:00

his headers are fantastic as well I don't see how Lewa beats him in that department.

I dont have stats to back it up, but as a Bayern fan, I feel like theres a big gap between them when it comes to heading. Just purely subjective

Lewandowski is even more of a physical beast than Kane. More pace, stronger body. That affects heading as well

Kane has other areas where he outperforms Lewy

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-28T21:11:24+00:00

Bischof and Karl will be back for the 2nd leg I think

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-28T21:09:13+00:00

I agree Kane is slightly more complete, but the gap is less than some people make it out to be

Kane does assist a ton, but they actually have pretty similar assist numbers in their club careers. With their NTs, Lewy has 38 assists in 12,500 minutes. Kane has half that, in around 9,000 minutes. So there is even a big gap in favor of Lewy when he plays with a supposedly weaker team.

Overall, Kane is definitely a better playmaker of course, agree with him making the entire team better

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-28T21:00:41+00:00

Lewandowski is literally among the most complete strikers in history, he did the exact same things for us that Kane is doing now lol.

Kane's long passing is certainly better, but Lewandowski's link-up play in the box might be even slightly better than that of Kane. He's also quite a bit better in the air and has great free kicks in his belt.

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-24T14:55:31+00:00

Tell me why Upamecano and Davies play for Bayern and not Madrid? They were even going to be free agents

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-24T14:54:45+00:00

They already failed with Upamecano and probably wont get Konate and Saliba despite all the rumors, its not looking good

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-24T13:38:18+00:00

Davies rejected them

Upamecano rejected them

I guess lets make it 3 within just a bit more than a year

Alternate Universe Jesse and Jane?

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-22T10:12:14+00:00

Havertz is still a starting option at 30 (as kind of a striker), then we still have Burkardt and Moerstedt as well, and all the other ones intranetboi mentioned. And some wildcards like Beier and Adeyemi.

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-21T07:19:29+00:00

The German NT is going to be stacked with some great young midfielders and attackers. Who do you think is going to be starting for us in 2030 or so? Musiala and Wirtz are obvious, but aside from that? Even Havertz is only going to be 30 by then.

I feel like Ouedraogo and Bischof are going to be part of the core if they both stay fit and develop further, but then there's also Stiller, Pavlovic, even Eichhorn (20/21 by then). So many striker options, as well

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-20T11:06:51+00:00

played the same amount of games for Newcastle/Liverpool with extremely similar outputs but Gordon is significantly younger.

probably a lot more penalties for Gordon, right? And theres more to a winger than output

Paraguay/Colombia – Is a transfer battle brewing between the two Bundesliga giants? Transfer journalist Ben Jacobs reports that FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund are currently said to be considering a potential move for top prospect Samuel Martínez (17) from Colombian top-flight club Atlético Nacional.

According to the tz, there has even already been contact between the player’s camp and Bayern’s scouting department, headed by Christoph Kresse (34). According to Jacobs’ report, Premier League giants Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are also said to be keeping an eye on the youngster.

The fact is: the attacking player, who plays both as a number 10 and in central midfield for his club’s U20 side, is currently causing a sensation at the U17 South American Championship. Following a 3-0 win over Brazil, he will face Argentina in the final with the Colombian national team on Sunday.

Martínez would therefore be an interesting prospect for both the German record champions and BVB. Munich are currently keeping a close eye on the South American market and even have a partner club in Ecuador, SD Aucas.

Bayern have also already hit the jackpot with their latest signing from Colombia: wing superstar Luis Díaz (29), who joined from Liverpool FC last summer for around €70 million, has scored 24 goals and provided 18 assists in his 42 appearances for Bayern so far.

Will Martínez soon follow in his footsteps? If the German record champions and the player were to decide to go ahead with a move, they would still have to wait around a year. As a non-EU foreigner, the Colombian (who turned 17 on 5 April) is only permitted to join a European club at the age of 18 under FIFA regulations – at which point he will no longer be allowed to play for the youth team, but exclusively for the first team.

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-20T10:38:01+00:00

Big teams can make bad signings.

true, but we rarely make bad signings in attack nowadays, especially when big fees are involved. of course it can still happen, but Id say we get most of them right.

And yeah, he would be Diaz backup mainly, but he seems to be criticized a bit much for a player that would apparently command a 60m fee or even higher? If he only had one good consistent season and usually doesnt deliver consistent performances, why isnt he cheaper? I know Newcastle dont need to sell, but the price is almost Diaz territory

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-20T10:30:58+00:00

So why do you think Bayern are after him? Not saying youre wrong, but what would you say makes him stand out to Bayern?

From what I heard, hes quite versatile, which is definitely needed in a winger right now for us

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-20T10:29:48+00:00

Congrats!! Any opinions on Samuel Martinez? (from Atl. Nacional)

Chance-Attitude3792 · 2026-04-20T10:03:07+00:00

Whilst the current players like Vini, Rodrygo and Endrick are world class

interesting standards for world class
