OT: Soccer thread

Using a designated slot on a winger, eh?

Yes and it appears to be confirmed now. $6.5MM with a 25% sell on clause and a 4 or 5 year deal at 4-4.5 mil a year.

Canadians play prominent roles in winning league titles:

France: Lille (David)
Germany: Bayern Munich (Davies)
Turkey: Besiktas (Hutchinson, Larin)
Scotland: Rangers (Arfield)

It’s absolutely astonishing Lille won the title. Good for them.

Sergio Aguero wraps up a brilliant career with Man City.

Euro 2020(21) is almost here. France look unstoppable on paper, but it’s the Euros so someone else will win. It’s always been a freaky tournament.

So who will win. Belgium? Portugal to repeat?!

The wrong answer, of course, is Italy.

Italy

Honestly they looked devastating against Czech who aren't a bad squad.

If Insigne can finally play his game at this level, they are looking pretty damn good. And I looks like Veratti is fit.

Loving the new young spine that I hope carries them the next decade - G Donarumma, D Bastoni, M Locatelli, M Barella....and hopefully strikers like Chiesa and Raspadori join them. If some of those guys can break through in this tourney then azzurri are looking realgud.

 

[lecoqsportif]

The central D is dinosauric.

 

[zeke]

Not if they play young stud Bastoni who just led his defense to a Serie A title at age 22.

DAVIES!

 

[trujaysfan]

Yep, not a great half. Not sure why vitoria isnt the CB for this one as he is our best organizer

 

[trujaysfan]

DAVID!!!!!!

 

[trujaysfan]

Hat trick for 20 year old J David (starting striker for French champion Lille)

Missed the first 20min but what I saw was a pretty classy win. Nice control throughout the team and the two Daves are legit fire.

How many berths does concacaf have in the world cup again? 3?

For the first time in my life I'm actually confident they will beat a team a little bit behind them in fifa rankings
