Not sure about Vardy's situation, Maguire though will most likely move somewhere else. Man City I see are the solid favorites to win the league again and Liverpool the 2nd choice. I am guessing you hate Man City something like I hate Miami and New England in the National Football League here in the USA? American football.

I don't hate any team, I just keep my fingers crossed that Liverpool do well. If they don't, they don't, no big deal, it's only a game.

Yeah I like to see Liverpool do well, it's not the end of the world though if they don't. I admit though I almost got upset that Liverpool didn't clinch the Prem title season just gone, but I soon came to my senses, it's only a game.

Tottenham vs Juventus. Arsenal vs a German team I believe. i always wonder if they put their top units out for these match's though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Liverpool then head across the Atlantic, where they will play Borussia Dortmund in Indiana (July 19), Sevilla in Boston (July 21) and Sporting CP in New York (July 24)" Manager Klopp is taking with him a 28 man squad, a "top unit" as you say will take part in these games at some point, these games are just warm up games for the up coming season.

Some of the most racist, misogynistic, patriarchal thug behaviour I have ever witnessed was at European football matches. And South American/Latin America/Mexican crowds are even worse. This is correct. European Men Football has a huge problem with violence. As far as I know France has a proper women's league and in Spain women's football became very popular over the last years. Real Madrid just bought a Women's Team. Here in Cologne we have the German Women's Cup Final every year and it's very popular with families. It's a nice and friendly party and the kids are able to watch a football match live at the stadium without all the nasty circumstances that come along with the men's matches. But I feel safe at the men's matches. We go by bicycle and everything is well organised inside the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only chance for me to see the international players and teams live. Only a few thousand people in the stadium, nice and relaxed atmosphere, just fun. It's not the best football because there are a lot of substitutions and at least these are just training matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibra was one of the most spectacular players ever. Did the big names put on a great show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Zlatan only played 25 min, which disappointed Mrs W, as it was raining through most of the game. Atlético de Madrid obviously outclassed the mls all-stars...but didn’t hang 7 goals on them as they did Real Madrid recently. Rooney looked good, Nani played alright, our fans were brutal on the Atlanta players. Overall a fun night - we ended up hanging with a group of friends at The Wall (supporters section) instead of going to our seats. It’s always fun hanging with a bunch of English fans at soccer matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 To my pals across the pond, why so much respect for Wolverton vs Manchester United tomorrow? Vegas has MU as only -1/2 ? Shocking after the number they did on Chelsea. Is Chelsea this bad or just one of those games? What can I expect from Leicester tomorrow? Any shot? It appears that Manchester City is going to be a beast once again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have checked in my "Boy's book of places in England" but can't seem to find it. @JTM Can you help me out man? Poor from United last evening. Same old as last season. To be fair cracking save from Wolverton's keeper but again poor from Pogba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverton, didn't they get fined for making an illegal approach to snatch "Roy of the Rovers", they may have had points deducted too. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZed66 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The Special One has turned into a TV pundit???? Probably the only job in football business he is able to land at the moment. Where did it all go wrong, José? Paul Pogba is such an incredibly talented player. But he is more a poser than a player. He will never make my favorite football player list 🚫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZed66 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Ok, I'm in a bashing mood. Coutinho or how to burn money in modern football 2018 - for a transaction fee of €142 million from Liverpool to Barcelona 2019 - for a loan fee of €8.5 million from Barcelona to Bayern München Més que un club?

Being a United man myself, I can't understand why we didn't get rid of him in the summer and buy someone who can a) be a team player and b) actually look like he wants to play for the club. As last season, wash, rinse and repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
