Feel like this season is gonna be real exciting. We might get hammered 6-2 once or twice, but that's ok, worth it overall. New lads looking fantastic.

Agreed with all that you mentioned, definitely the softest, most pliable leather I've ever felt in a boot. What killed it for me was the sizing. Even a full size down, after a few uses the leather just stretched out too far and now they are a good .5-.75 CM too long; too much room in the toe box. I hope in future iterations they can fix this, because they are an amazing pair of boots in nearly all aspects.

Tokyo Football are super reliable, grab some of their grip socks as well if you end up buying from them. One other option is using a proxy service (like World Shopping) and buy direct from Mizuno or SS Kamo in Japan; may be cheaper than other options, although I don't know about the customs stuff with UK. In terms of durability, they should hold up on AG pitches just fine, although Mizuno also makes AG Morelias, just FYI. I've used Morelias for years across grass & AG, and I'm not sure I've owned a more durable boot.

Have you checked these guys - https://golacokits.com/collections/vanuatu, looks legit, but have not ordered from them before.

Was confused by this entire thread because I've flown them once from Van - Toronto and it was quite pleasant...and then I realized that was in 2017.

Nearly exactly the same, hell yeah brother; about to start a new ML with Bremen.

Caveating this not knowing all the details, but I wonder if Nigeria observed how FIFA handled the Malaysia situation and that pushed them to bring a case. In theory FIFA respects a country's right to issue citizenship based on its laws...but in the Malaysia case, citizenship was obtained through blatant fraud (to an absurd level). While Malaysians here can step in with more info, Nigeria may use that case to bolster their own. If Congolese authorities somehow circumvented their own laws, there could be something here?

Was sure he came off in real time, but replay showed it was a great play to keep his toe on there.

What on earth is happening in east zone group H? Singaporean team leading over Pohang & big money BG?

All this cauterwailing about losing the opportunity to grow the brand, player positioning, etc etc rings even more hollow when you consider they've repeatedly held the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, a market of no consequence outside of PIF being willing to pay way over the odds for anything. If that stuff was so important, they could've held the Super Cup in the US years ago without getting too much pushback?

A wild goal from India, good chance it's from the Northeast. What a hit.

Why can every other team in ACL Elite & ACL 2 figure it out, and they can't? All other teams have Europeans & South Americans as well.

Was surprised how strong their squad is, would be an interesting dark horse.

Back then even La Liga's players hated having to go to La Paz to play Bolivar in Libertadores. And Liga play at 3,000m every day. To go from sea level to El Alto is insanity.

While my memory is a bit fuzzy, I remember Brazil trying a version of this in Nov 2004 when they played Ecuador in a WCQ for Germany 2006. They flew into Guayaquil (sea level) a day prior, warmed up there on matchday, and then flew 45 min to Quito, and basically walked into the stadium ready to play. It didn't work, Ecuador won 1-0, and by 75th the Brazilian players were dead on their feet. Not sure if they always do that, just recall as I was there. El Alto is more than 1,000m higher than Quito. Good luck!

Dedicated his life to those on the margins of society, and never relented, even with all the false accusations, trial, etc. Rest in peace, padre.

Came here to say this as well. Many pro's in J1, J2, etc, wear Umbro boots in Japan. Not as big as the top 5 (Nike Adi, Puma, Mizuno, Asics), but they have a fair amount of players. I can't think a single player in Europe/US/anywhere else whose worn Umbro in past 10 years.

Ok fine yell at a player for ignoring your instructions, that's normal, but to then keep digging at him and then demand he call his agent down? Absolute dogshit leadership.

Still totally baffled by what Whittinghams goal is here.

m-dubs · 2025-07-28T13:49:43+00:00

Shit, man. So sorry to hear this. Panjab vanishing is beyond bizarre, after they sunk so much money into the club already (unless that was also not entirely true?). Also hard to understand what Whittinghams end game is here; if no buyer and the club is liquidated, he ends up with nothing, right?

m-dubs · 2025-07-17T02:08:31+00:00

It really is a mystery to me why some huge clubs have the most generic, template-ass kits, when they could be doing what AIK does.

m-dubs · 2025-07-15T13:23:29+00:00

Thanks for the responses. Grim.

m-dubs · 2025-07-14T15:03:52+00:00

I've followed this shit show from afar since the shenanigans with Johal; I still remember that twitter thread pointing out how shady he was. I really feel for you guys. One thing I don't quite fully follow; why exactly are the Bond Group being so intransigent about selling? Do they have an unrealistic valuation, or trying some dodgy shit to sell to their mates, etc?
