Juve appear to be closing in on Vlahovic. @Topgallant I thought our season was done after Chiesa's injury but this could save us.

I didn't even post here when it happened because I was so blackpilled, but this is good news. Vlahovic would be perfect, Juve needs more quality up front now more than ever with Chiesa out for a long time. Its rough having to rely on the likes of Kean and Kulusevski or watching Morata score more offside goals in the meantime.

As bad as it's been this year, we've been in decent form lately even with the lack of quality in the final third. We're just 1 point shy of a top 4 spot and have a chance to pass Atalanta when we play them in a few weeks. Now that Vlahovic is a done deal, I'm pretty optimistic we won't drop too many points for the rest of the season. Just get Sandro out of the starting 11, the guy has been a disaster for the past 2 months.
 
Today it was the finals of Copinha (sub 20 players cup) in brazil and this mad lad Endrick was the star of the whole cup, he is only 15 years old so only in July he will be able to play at his team. I am sure that in some years he will be able to go to Europe if he is able to improve even more (lets hope so, we need players like him for the next world cups)


Never knew how insane this was. I love channels like this where you can see matches you normally wouldn't or didn't know about

I'm seeing that result.
Did I read RELEGATION?

This one of my favorite. Let me tell you. Both Coritiba and Fluminense were playing to see who was going to be relegated, If Coritiba wins, they stayed up to the first division and Fluminense gets relegated, if Fluminense scores at least 1 point, they live. It was the 100th anniversary of Coritiba that year. It was the last game of the season.

Coritiba and Fluminense ties, fluminense at some point had 99% chances of being relegated, and this happens, I was watching it live, it was kino that only rage, sadness and complete happiness at the same time can produce.

 
The Equator vs Brazil match was full of shit but mostly amazing moments, it started when Equator goalie got red card for kicking the brazilian guy, then a brazilian guy got two yellow cards in 10 minutes.

Then the brazilian goalie got a red card, but it got VAR'd and it was changed into a yellow. Then in the end of the game, he got another yellow card, but it got VAR'd again, making it null.

He was basically expelled two times but VAR saved him.

And the game was terrible.

On one hand, I'm glad we still produce good young players.
On the other hand, it is kind of depressing to know that every time a young prospect appears, the first thing we all think is "when will he go to Europe and for whom will he play."
Back in the day, the kids that pursued a career in footy wished only to play for their fave team. It could be Corinthians or Flamengo, it could be goddamn XV de Piracicaba or União Bandeirante, but they wanted to be hometown heroes first and foremost, with being called for the NT the unquestionable proof you made it big.

I totally forgot about the match. Instead, I went to a local state championship game. Had a blast with the wives of the players sitting on one side discussing sexism in football, and on the other side a whole bunch of old farts calling the female referee every single derogatory term there are for women.

When I came back home, I preferred to check the Chile vs. Argentina match. The Chilean federation scheduled the match in Calama, at a 10k feet altitude and at the beginning of the Atacama Desert, so it would be guaranteeing Hell on Earth for the argies... Except they put the match at night. And Argentina still beat them.

Either way, keep an eye on Chilean striker Ben Brereton. This white nigga can play and score. Brits can attest or dispute this if they see him play at the Championship for Blackburn Rovers.
 
Vlahovic to Juve is official. 70m over 4 years, not a bad way to spend your 22nd birthday. Never would've thought Ronaldo's sudden departure would be a blessing in disguise for Juve but here we are.

Fat Frank is the next lamb to the slaughter at the Everton post
He'll probably be fine, his first season at Chelsea was a massive overachievement considering the circumstances, but the eternally malcontent Worse Scousers will be seething at him before long

I firmly disagree. I think Frank won't be able to motivate the team and ultimately fail against a refrigerated Norwich under Dean Smith, Burnley who seemingly have it all to play for via match advantage and the big spenders in Newcastle. With Everton, there is too much deadwood present from prior managers and a major overhaul is needed, which realistically can only come about via a relegation. Would cast out all the prima donna types and high-budget England lads. A year in the Championship would be a humbling experience.

Ideally Watford go down no matter what happens, lol.

Oh dont get me wrong, id love for everton to get relegated, but it isnt happening. Watford going down will basically happen too
 
Watching Man United, Everton, Newcastle, Arsenal and Spurs blow such an important transfer window by leaving everything to the last minute has been incredible.

Newcastle has all the money in the world and they're waiting until January 31st to sort out a deal for a key midfielder.
 
Hasn't Fulham been doing fairly well recently?
Yes, they been flourishing under Marco Silva. However he'll experience a harsh wake-up call when Tony Khan is mishandling his transfer requests in the Premiership, as did Scott Parker did before. Squad itself is on the verge of burnout with injuries creeping him, hence why they've not sold anyone this window. A lot of misc players want out, but Silva doesn't want to risk it due to Covid. Expect a fire sale come Summer, no matter if they go up or not.
