Why is this brought up a year later than it occurred?

Ha my mind is still in 2021. Sorry for that. When I next post a link about a footballer having a heart attack I'll make sure it's current.

 

I've checked the date on this one.

Wow, both sides scoring when they're at a disadvantage, and Napoli doing so at 9 men down in stoppage time

Cracker indeed. 

[The Bear]

Bit of a boring first half right until the end though!

70,000 tickets sold for the Barca-Real Women’s Champions League game, Barca mens team have only topped that number twice this season. Prices are gonna be a lot different but still!

Superb win for Bochum last night in the cup. Pantovic scoring another worldy.

So how many goals will Cameroon score against a rouge keeper ?!

This is a good read about the approach being taken at Volendam (I hate the word “project” when applied to football). It will be interesting to see how they go if promoted

20 minutes into this Brazil game and honest to jebus the players have kicked each other more than the ball. 

[Super_horns]

Apparently Alisson was sent off “twice” but VAR over ruled it both times times !

 

 Ecuador  had an injury time penalty ruled out

I find it funny when pundits question if newly signed South American players can handle the physical nature of the premier league when they've come from one of the brutal continents in terms of physicality in the domestic leagues.

Skov Olsen has joined Club Brugge from Bologna.

He's a very handy player, nice coup from Brugge!

[Wymsey]

Barcelona really were a one-man team, weren't they?

[Koke]

Inter v Milan live right now. 

[Koke]

Milan are getting killed here. They're all over the place defensively. 

[StanSP]

Inter take the lead. Leicester-esque defending from Milan from a corner.

[StanSP]

Milan have turned it around  . Giroud with both goals. Two goals in quick succession. The second was brilliant.

The centre back pairing for Bochum were tremendous.
