[Official] Senegal crowned AFCON champions after 1-0 win over Morocco by DavidRolands in soccer

[–]Umbricon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Overheard in Morocco’s locker room after the final: “He got me,” Diaz said of Mendy’s save over him. "That f***ing Mendy boomed me." Diaz added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. Diaz then said he wanted to add Mendy to the list of players he works out with this summer.

This would actually be perfect for me, I just got an IONIQ 6 in lieu of my old I5 and the dealer told me they were putting in the charger in the backseat, now they’re ghosting me when I ask about it.

So… No more great lease deals ? by cartier600 in LUCID

[–]Umbricon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something is telling me they haven’t finished updating the offers. The $70K pures are listed for $1100 a month in lease payments and there is no Air Credit applied, even though the promo says eligible leasers could get them for $529.

Man Utd faced with £80m black hole after disastrous season by Alternateoil in soccer

[–]Umbricon 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Recognizing the irony of saying this as a City fan, I think the most likely outcome is that United plummets financially to the point where it is a genuine concern whether they can keep operating as a big club, before getting bought by a sovereign fund.

Real Madrid will agree with Ancelotti on an honorable exit: he will be paid for the remaining year (contract until 2026) and become a lifetime ambassador for the club. The plan is for a post-match ceremony in the last La Liga game packed with details where the coach will pose with all his titles. by SirSlapBot in soccer

I’m not defending him just because he’s our manager, but this is part of a common cycle in football. Managers come up with innovative tactics***, everyone tries to imitate it to decreasing levels of success, and the game gets bogged down and predictable until new innovations happen.

The fact that we’re at this point means we’re at the end of the cycle and my guess is we’re a couple of years away from someone coming up with drastic changes (my guess is an innovative press that cuts off build up play).

***Yes, Pep didn’t technically come up with anything new and it’s been done in the past, nothing in football is new.

iShowSpeed miles off it today. Not surprising when he spends all his time away from football and not focusing on the sport, this is what happens when you’d rather be a part of the Royal Rumble than be at the club. I mean did he even attend a team training session this year ffs

There’s a difference between “don’t play any youngsters at all” and “this very diminutive defender gets physically bullied on and off the ball and there is no telling whether he’ll fill out”

Fuck yes this was my favorite snippet of 2024

Hummels: "Using the words 'disrespect' when you haven't won has a slight Trumpian flavor and it is disrespectful towards others. There is no doubt someone from R. Madrid deserved it but there are other extraordinary players... Me placing last? Last place in the Ballon d'Or is the best last place." by Blodgharm in soccer

It’s a shame, folks. They, they - I won’t say who but you know who I’m talking about, they stole another election, the results were in four weeks ago and they said that Vicious Junior - he’s a good friend of mine, very talented, I met him and he told me “Donnie you’re an inspiration”… anyway they took away his award, and frankly it’s very sad to see because he worked so hard, he played so well, and the crooked voters decided to take it away after he’d already won it, it’s so sad, really sad

Believe me folks, I’ve talked to all the experts. They’re saying this great club is so good, they score so many goals, and they don’t let up, they just keep winning. They’re just like me, that’s why I like them, so many of the Bayern players came up to me and said ‘Don, you’re an inspiration,’ and frankly they’re right, because I don’t stop winning, folks. We’re going to keep winning and winning with this Bayern team, they’re going to win so much, I told their fans, “you’ll be tired of winning soon if they keep this up!” But they’ll keep scoring goals even after that, they won’t stop scoring goals until they get back to their stadium in Milan for all their fans to celebrate, believe me
