January 10, 20179 yr Starting in 2026, the World Cup will be 48 teams with 16 3-team groups. That sounds beyond awful. And ruins all of the fun that is WC Qualifying
January 12, 20179 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 12:08 PM) Starting in 2026, the World Cup will be 48 teams with 16 3-team groups. That sounds beyond awful. And ruins all of the fun that is WC Qualifying Way too many teams and way too random. Good teams can get knocked out with one bad game.
January 14, 20179 yr Author Total trap match this morning for Tottenham and they handled West Brom easily. Very nice to see to stay in the title race.
January 14, 20179 yr This whole China buying players for outrageous sums is starting to get out of hand. I know Costa is a head case but if they actually buy the best team's top striker, that's crazy.

I know Costa is a head case but if they actually buy the best team's top striker, that's crazy. $30 million euros a year...that's hard to turn down, even if it's to go play in a pretty bad league. IDK though. It's basically money vs. career legacy.
January 19, 20179 yr I have gotten into soccer this year. Somehow, I ended up following West Ham. Am I destined for disappointment like my other sports teams? Sort of seems like it.

February 23, 20179 yr 8 months after the most surprising championship ever, Leicester City fires (or "sacks") their head coach. I watched their CL game yesterday , after getting dominated in the first half, they actually played well in the 2nd and salvaged only a 2-1 away deficit.
February 24, 20179 yr It appears that if you win the PL, you get sacked the next season. Ask Jose Mourinho.

March 9, 20179 yr I was watching the Barca game, but figured it was over after 80 minutes and my kid woke up early so I left the house. Holy s*** what a comeback I missed!

March 24, 20179 yr Kind of a big game for the US tonight, if they don't get the 3 points, it's officially time freak out about missing the WC. Hopefully Arena can straighten them out, despite all the players missing.
