It was at least a good payout.

Do you think we can petition Jersh to give us a bottle sticker?

Why are you so mean? Don't you think I am suffering enough?

Mexican futbol crowds won't stop doing "homophobic" chant

Mexico is making me want to go to my first soccer match.

Didn't he have a 6 year contract? How much they pay him for breaking contract 10mil? Jesus I could do the same job just as bad, where my money?

6 and a half year deal that was supposed to keep him through 2032. They took this guy from Strausborg, who was doing well there btw, and threw him at a Chelsea problem that the board created. Completely ruined his career by doing this btw

The football media really need to do their job properly. Chelsea have 5 Sporting Directors, vast majority of clubs have 1.
The Kinetic Academy have effectively taken over the entire coaching side of Chelsea in the chaos.

Calum McFarlane (Kinetic Academy Manager): u21 manager -> Interim head coach -> First team coach -> Interim head coach (bro has 0 senior experience outside of 2 interim games and less than 60 games managed at youth level in his whole career)

Dan Hogan (Kinetic Coach); U18 Head Coach (previous one that had been there since 2008 was demoted)

Harry Hudson (Kinetic cofounder): U21 Head Coach

These parasites saw an opportunity and have placed themselves at every level at that club.

Further info from Xitter about how they stat pad at youth level to make themselves look better:

I've mostly been memeing up to this point, but holy shit Arselel might actually fucking choke this. Of course the real question now is, if they do does this replace Liverpool 2013/14 as the funniest title slip? As much as I'd like to say yes to annoy @DSP's Tax Lawyer I don't think it does. Gerrard giving his infamous "this does not slip now" only to then literally slip will likely never be beaten.

In other humorous news one of Trump's special envoys has suggested replacing Iran with Italy at the WC for totally impartial reasons:

US special envoy Paolo Zampolli told the Financial Times, external: "I confirm I have suggested to Trump and Infantino that Italy replace Iran at the World Cup.

"I'm an Italian native and it would be a dream to see the Azzurri at a US-hosted tournament. With four titles, they have the pedigree to justify inclusion."

Ah yes, let's ignore the recent pedigree of them utterly and completely shitting the bed in qualifying for the last 3 tournies though. The thing that really got me though was this bit:

Zampolli made a similar request to Fifa for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar when he was a United Nations ambassador.

I honestly don't even remember a big issue like the current Iran shit that would have required a team to be replaced. I tried Googling it to find his logic, but the news feed is just the current story

I preface this by saying I am not a Spurs fan. But Expressions roasting Arsenal should they actually bottle it is going to be legendary.

That's a tough one. On the one hand this is becoming the history of the Woolwich, in which case is it shocking as much as it is expected? On the other hand I can't remember them (potentially) bottling it this hard. Usually they collapse around the turn of the new year but they're a few yards off the finishing line and all of the sudden their laces have come undone, their shorts have started falling down, and they've somehow found the only construction zone on the race track and they're actively falling over traffic barricades and construction ahead signs. Liverpool might still come away with the crown because it became too good to be true, but it actually was. From the infamous Gerrard huddle quote, to literally slipping, and then the Miracle of Crystanbul to top it off. Kino isn't a good enough word for what we saw during the 13/14 season.

I have already made $7.50 betting on Man City wins and I plan on making more for the rest of the year. Gotta get a case of really nice beer

Estevão and Lamine Yamal got hamstring injuries that may or may not take them out of the World Cup.
Hugo Ekitike and Rodrygo are already out.
Here's a more detailed list of injured players that could miss out on going to North America in June.

Also, Botafogo is on the brink of bankruptcy with hundreds of millions in debts, and after a tense day of negotiations, John Textor has been ousted as the head of operations, and the company will be auctioned off.
From the top of South America to this in two years time, imagine that.

Awwww, the John Textor saga looks like its finally over. It was fun while it lasted

I do also want to point out one more interesting thing. In the National League (Or conference premier, I can't keep track of all its new names), Rochdale managed to beat Braintree Town in the final minutes. They were up 1-0 after 36 minutes and Braintree thought they had equalized in the 90th +1 minute but Rochdale scored with the last kick of the match in the 9th minute of stoppage. With this win, Rochdale (who were always comfortably in second) are now on 105 points. They are 2 points behind league leaders (winning the league is the only way to guarantee promotion) York City. And as luck would have it, Rochdale will host York City on the final game of the season next Saturday. A York City win or tie means York will go up and Rochdale will have to enter the playoffs. A Rochdale win will see them leapfrog York and push York City into the playoffs.

I'm guessing most of you didn't see this, but it had kind of a wild ending:

After beating Getafe Barça is 11 points ahead of Real Madrid and that means that either Espanyol wins us the league if they beat Madrid and we beat Osasuna next week or we can win the league at the Clásico. Both equally hilarious outcomes.

I don't really believe that any club would throw their game to spite their rivals, but Espanyol is totally throwing that game to spite Barca. Not like this will matter. Madrid seems to be collapsing.
