New 2016-17 Soccer Thread


Recommended Posts

New European soccer season, time for a new thread that no one cares about cause it's soccer.

 

Champions League Draw today. Legia Warsaw made it! Now they get to be curb stomped by Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. Maybe they can salvage a point against Sporting Lisbon.

Awesome that NBC hired on Ian Drake for the Premier League games

 

They didn't. That's just them airing an international feed; in this case BT Sport. Basically, unless it's Arlo White, you're hearing the English language feed that's broadcast all over the world, not something in-house from NBC.

Interesting, good to know. It's probably because he does all the big US games, but he's my top soccer broadcaster to listen to.

I wish ESPN would cover the Champions League and Gold Cup instead of FS1. Mostly because of Ian Darke.

Tottenham gets GK Pau Lopez, Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, and Moussa Sissoko. Pretty good day for depth purposes for the COYS

 

Sissoko to Everton was pretty much done, then Tottenham decided to match Newcastle's offer last minute. Tottenham vs. Everton is pretty simple decision. Sissoko chose Tottenham.

CONMEBOL is crazy. 4.5 spots up for grabs

 

Uruguay 16

Brazil 15

Argentina 15

Colombia 13

Ecuador 13

Paraguay 12

Chile 11

 

Gotta love how straightforward their qualifying is, too. Just regular old double round-robin. No nations getting byes or anything. Can't argue with that.

Pulisic is gonna be a monster in CONCACAF. Victory tonight sets up Mexico in November in Columbus. Sweet.

 

Jozy's playing well again too. Wood + Pulisic is going to be a nice duo to have in 2018.

THE US has it so easy, lol. UEFA has a group with France, Sweden, Netherlands. One qualifies, one probably earns the right to face another good team in a playoff, 3rd place goes home.
