that would be awesome but goooool bayern finally scored vs monchengladbach at 62' i'll look for news |
Was an entertaing game in the end, but not a great one. Loads of missed chances for both sides and neither team seem to want to defend. Right now, Klopp and Pep look like two managers who are only winning anything because they both have some very good players able to get them out of trouble.

oh, they tied in the end! a pity.
bayern won of course lol. just 1-0 but nice game by gladbach who fought hard. so what's up with kloppo? running out of ideas? |

I dunno. Some pundits say the players are knackered cos of Klopp's hard pressing style but I'm not sure. Whatever it is they're nowhere near where they were before Christmas. Really, Chelsea, Spurs and Everton have been the only teams playing consistently well this season. |
knackered sounds about right. ive said this many times, his ideal player age is 17 to 22. after that--to the glue factory
|
Meanwhile on planet Pep, in the press conference just now, he described Man City's performance as one of the best in his managerial career.

A scam and a sham! By the way, when you consider the World Cup will have 48 teams in 2026, you look at the South American table and think, "Shit, well what more could these countries possibly want?!". I say turn the fifth spot into a straight ticket to the Cup, and that's IT. You can't reward countries who finish below the middle of the goddamn table. Find your extra 16 teams elsewhere! |

it's all about how tables are defined. uefa has nearly 50 members with every microrepublic and principality claiming a spot . one federation for all of the americas should work well. the problem with conmebol is that it's so small. they cant even have a proper tournament and have to invite jamaicans and mexicans and others to fill up the brackets. |
OK, so Germany beat England 1-0. I'm often quick to criticise England, even if they win, but they weren't bad tonight, and the result felt a bit harsh. Alli missed a massive chance. It was a friendly but both teams were competitive (although a few unknown German names (to me at least). The 3-man defence looked good and Vardy looked OK, although Kane will obviously walk straight back in when hes fit. Not jumping to any premature conclusions but definitely a lot better than 90% of what I saw under Hodgson.

who were the germans you didnt recognize and who is yr new coach? i know i could google but that's no fun
|
There were a few I don't know. Brandt; Weigl; Werner?
Re our new coach: Gareth Southgate. Worked his way up through the under 21s route. Bit of a boring, 'safe' appointment but in hindsight, I'm not sure who I would've had instead (who'd realistically want it). I'm becoming quietly optimistic, not that we'll suddenly become world beaters but that we might actually move forward a bit with him. I can see him relating well to the players and he just seems pretty competent all round. This generation of players is decent. Not so good as to attract the kind of hype that the 'golden generation' got and which probably helped ruin them. Plus there's no old guard to accommodate now. Maybe Hart but he'll hopefully be replaced by Forster soon. Rooney definitely seems finished. Kane, Alli, Walker, Shaw, Dier: none of them are world class but they are very good and I've seen worse teams progress further than we usually manage. We just need a break in a big tournament. |
oh man, timo werner is rb leipzig's star forward-- germany's jaime vardy, but young
weigl plays at dortmund, really good midfielder--small, light, smart, and very mobile, sort of a made-for-pep player. young too. he should go far. brandt is a babyface (my wife calls him "hitler youth") who plays i think for leverkusen. he's okay but not great as i recall. the most notable thing about him is his face lololol. |
Fucking James (Xamez) scored at the 83rd minute and Colombia beat Bolivia 1-0. Now they're in third place! This is bullcrap!
