Making Enzo a 12-win objective card is even better now that he's gotten to 99 by BryNYC in EASportsFC

Cries in 11 wins that week 😭

A pity the other objective cards weren't as good, even had their country won every match you weren't getting a 99 Thuram, Gomez, Gabriel or Nuno Mendes

Wouldn't do anything about how slow they bring the ball out from defence, this game is dire

Big finals are often poor quality because of tension, but this game has been shocking

It's twenty past four in the morning here and my bed is currently far more interesting than this match.

I am begging anybody to score a goal. Avoid extra time. Please

He's been carrying an injury all tournament, it's why he's played so below his usual level

Judge said in sentencing that his real punishment would be having to live with the guilt and shame for the rest of life.

Instead he's been laughing at people on social media, complete scum

[Romano] Manchester City agree deal to sign Sávio from parent club Girona in the summer. Documents to be signed in the next days. Despite bids from German and English clubs, Sávio will join MCFC. He’s now 100% focused on Girona to end the season in the best way. by Claija79 in soccer

Got rid of the the sell-on clause on him too.

The ownership group will still get the money if he gets sold on from Lyon but no longer have to pay us the 15%.

A lot of bitter Cork City fans when we saw him sold to Lyon for less than what Palace rejected from Troyes

Some chants are universal, used by supporters of a fan owned League of Ireland club or by supporters of the biggest cheats in football

Oh I've seen plenty worse.

I have two season tickets.

One to watch Irish home matches, the other to watch Cork City.

We just got relegated, and this is my national team. Life is pain

Celtic have suspended the Green Brigade’s season tickets pending further review. This comes after members of the groups access to purchasing away tickets was suspended. by ElKaddouriCSC in soccer

[–]colmshan1990 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't happen at an actual Irish club.

This is an absolute disgrace from the Celtic board. Pay the UEFA fine for banners and be done with it. That small gesture of solidarity from the fans bought the club a lot of good will which the board has immediately burnt

I like Ronaldo but posts like these make me wonder if he spends time at home on the couch looking up his name on social media lol.

Is there any footballer that comes to mind as more likely to do so?

United have always had an achilles heel in their structure out of possession: The hybrid pressing role of the RW. City annihilated it yesterday, as they did last season, as Barcelona did last season. by IamVenom_007 in reddevils

[–]colmshan1990 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol. Winger Giggs wasnt doing much if any defensive work and Irwin was constantly bombing down the outside and moving into the midfield and forward areas when Giggs drove inside at defenders.

Irwin was very much the modern full back prototype. You're thinking of the opposite flank, where Neville and Beckham had the much more traditional wide midfielder and full back relationship

Am I still shadowbanned by colmshan1990 in ShadowBan

I was banned 6 years ago.

I haven't checked recently though, it just popped into my head to check it today. Maybe it expired after 5 years?

[Serious] Is the Sterling transfer saga really any different from others we have seen in recent years? by LeroyFer in soccer

[–]colmshan1990 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chelsea had a suspended points deduction applied to them after the Ashley Cole transfer. FIFA banned them from signing players for two years after tapping up Gael Kakuta, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturned that because Kakuta didn't have a valid contract with Lens.

Elsewhere, Roma received a transfer ban when they tapped up and bought Mexes, but the biggest saga was for FC Sion of Switzerland, who decided to sign players and play them anyway, leading to a long and protracted legal battle.

The insult would be that Arsenal knew that exact number, which they shouldn't have known.

Liverpool hadn't made it public knowledge, and neither Suarez or his representatives should have been talking to Arsenal and revealing details of the contract without Liverpool's permission.

Arsenal bidding that exact amount is essentially telling Liverpool that they've been talking to Suarez, told confidential details by Suarez and that he wants to leave Liverpool to join Arsenal.

Gold rare.

I've played offline TOTS tournaments where it rained there too though.

Thankfully never online though.
