So Netherlands and French Leaugues are pretty much cancelled.
I am not sure if any leagues will be completed, the effect of Coronavirus looks like it will effect next years european competitions as qualification can start early
Because National Leagues (thats fifth tier and below are cancelled) then those above in England should be, one of the football govening bodies mantras is the game is the same at all levels, a shame for Liverpool but that is sometimes how it is
A Barney Ronay-article on Dortmund-Schalke in the Guardian and an "as it happened" .
I wonder, are Britons desperate enough to watch those games now?
I record both the Bundesliga and English Premier matches for my dad because he likes to watch, caught a glimpse of yesterday's Bundesliga. For those who had watched the more recent summer Olympics it was a familiar sight - what with a huge stadium and no audience and all.Don't think so. Not even sure that many German fans will be keen to watch it. Top football matches requires a live audience. It's half the deal.
FC Seoul had a rather novel approach. Well, they ended up having to apologize for it, but I thought it was pretty funny.From what I read the behind closed door games where a bit sterile
Has anyone watch any, I could imagine them being a bit like pre season friendlies without fans
Pochettino has a stained past as player of local rival RCD Espanyol. Koeman scored the goal that won them their first Champions League. They're so self-centered in their identity that they've chosen to pay the Dutch Federation 4.5M€.Great. So they could have had Pocchettino and they bring in Koeman because they are arrogantly keeping on with their DNA stuff. I wish Koeman the best, but ***, this club deserves to drown. I'm only sorry for all that talent wasted.
The entire 86 World Cup would have to be one of the absolute best solo performances in sport. He pretty much won the whole thing himself.So Maradona died today.
I think the whole line-drawing thing to determine if someone is offside is ridiculous anyway. They should just freeze the image, ref takes one look at it, and if its clear offside it's offside, and if it isn't, play continues.Thats not it, not to derail the thread but its down to where to draw the lines, one draw them at the arm pit, an other one draw the lines at the shoulder, which the first one omit.
Different rules to different judges lead to confusion why one call was made and the other not.
I agree completely, its destroying football as its implemented now (at least my interest for it)I think the whole line-drawing thing to determine if someone is offside is ridiculous anyway. They should just freeze the image, ref takes one look at it, and if its clear offside it's offside, and if it isn't, play continues.
