Miami and the MLS in general celebrating Messi's Ballon D'or win like it had absolutely anything to do with them or is any reflection on them at all is really quite tinpot

 

I did chuckle myself after seeing that, no great surprise it is the MLS after all.  Miami probably see themselves as the greatest team on the planet because Messi plays for them.

Sadly previously suffered heart issues and had a defibrillator fitting but guess that couldn’t save him tragically .

Broken his 1st league record with that brace most goals scored after 11 games, his 17 beats Lewandoski’s 16 & on track to beat his seasons tally also.

The photo of Mazzarri they've used there looks like it's from the late 90s / early 00s for some reason, can't pinpoint why!

He’ll prob do a year then look elsewhere. 
With Garcia leaving Napoli there are still some decent managers out of work - Glasner, Garcia, Van Nistelrooy to name a few.

The cycle of FIFA corruption continues

Not a surprise but ugly scenes last night following Argentina's win in Brazil.

[Super_horns]

England lost to Uzbekistan in the 2nd round of the Under 17s World Cup .

[winteriscoming]

Amazing to see these managers lose their jobs recently when I wanted them here a year/18 months ago. 
Urs Fischer 

Rudi Garcia 

Bruno Genesio 

Bo Svensson 

Oliver Glasner 

 

Although I would still take any of them if it goes to shit under Maresca. 

[Stinkenzo]

Brazil Serie A title fight looks tasty, 4 games left and the top 6 separated by 5pts

[Muzzy_no7]

Lyon are an absolute mess.

 

I mean Grosso was an awful appointment but Christ they’re in the poo poo. 

[Fear Of The Fox]

This is how you play from the back:

 

[Super_horns]

Crazy own  goal !

Just belts it into his own net .

 

Good job his team mates saved him with a fight back from 2 down .

I would really like some journos to ask all these goalkeepers if they really enjoy this tactical approach and being involved so much in the build up. I bet if they answer honestly a lot of them would say it's stressful at least. 

I can understand the tactical reasons behind this but imo there are a lot of risks. Every week now there are a lot of goals scored because of some bad passing/distribution by the goalkeepers. 

This modern tactical approach puts not only physical but also mental pressure on the keepers.

Seen so many posts on social media about Girona sitting top of La Liga.

 

Many people hoping that they can do a 'Leicester'.
