Fernando Torres was involved in a near-fatal collision in Atlético's 1-1 draw with La Coruña - almost choked to death due to swallowing his tongue:

 

Damn, that's scary.

 

Glad Fernando is okay.

Clickbait.

 

The match had barely ended before the club's official twitter said he was conscious and talking with no long-term neck or head injuries lol

Clickbait-ago-go for sure. But the quick thinking of his teammates may have saved his life.

Union Berlin with another big step towards a potential promotion to the top division. Beat Würzburg 2-0 at home today and that with a man less on the pitch for more than 45 minutes!

Would love to see them in the top flight - heard the stadium isn't up to standard and it'd need a temporary permit, but they're planning on expanding the Alte Försterei to 35'000 anyway.

Orlando City with a safe standing area and designated pyrotechnics areas. We're absolute dinosaurs over here. 

They have to give fans what they want. 

 

If they tried to introduce premier league type crowds in the MLS, stadiums would be empty. 

 

Here football is so popular they can treat fans like muck charge high prices and have full stadiums.

 

The ultra style of pyro and standing, capo's (see capo stand for Orlando) is what American fans want.  I don't think we want that enough here.  Imagine having smoke being let off during a game, they'd be uproars from fans moaning about not being able to take photos of players etc...

Overwhelming support for rail seating in the UK but nothing gets done, the MLS has the advantage of having a clean slate to work with, so you're right, they have to consult the fans as to what they want or no one would show up. At least there's an admission over there that people go for different reasons and areas of the ground are designated accordingly. Here you get treated the same, come in, buy your shitty burger, sit down, buy crap from the club shop and leave, whether you're a 20 year old bloke or a 60 year old woman.

4-3-3 on Instagram has some real gems on offer:

 

PSV against Raja Casablanca in a U-17 tournament in Dubai. Replacement goalkeeper (a field player) saves a penalty for Einhoven. :D

Scene in the video from approximately 0:50 onwards.

You'd think he would have.

 

Good to see him here though. Anything to raise the level of the MLS a bit. I still find it a bit of a tough watch.

MLS is horrible football. I will cheer on tfc but its like league 2 footy maybe league 1.

If anyone needs more evidence that football has well and truly gone to the dogs...

 

Monaco have apparently rejected  110m Euros for Kylian Mbappe. He turned 18 in December.

Surely the fact that a lot of clubs can't be bullied into selling their best players anymore is a good thing
