YankeeToon Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 One of the biggest media moguls in Spain (owner of La Liga's rights and one of the masterminds behind taking it to the USA) has just said that he's aware of talks to hold a CL final in NYC. But to make it still watchable back in Europe, you'd need to have it kick off about 3pm local time. Make sure it's still played in mid to late May in those temperatures and then everyone can moan about the heat too. I think it's an excellent idea that anyone with half a brain would throw their full support behind. Mid to late May in NYC really isn't all that hot, just low to mid 70s. Doesn't really get consistently over 80 until July, usually. May's actually about the best month to be here, weather-wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 George Weah played 79 minutes of the match between Liberia and Nigeria tonight, at 51 and fat. Liberia only lost 1-2 against a Nigeria side featuring Iheanacho, Ndidi and other regular first teamers. The image caption on the BBC article is glorious: "George Weah is the only serving world leader to have scored in three competitive fixtures against Gillingham!"

Altamullan Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Quite a range there: €3,157,000 on wages (Reus Deportiu) compared to Catalonian cousins (FCB) on €632, 971,000 (200 times as much). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Like FFP...it keeps the little guys little and lets the big guys continue to dominate. Seems very anti-competitive. The other way of looking at it is that it stops clubs from bankrupting themselves which is a massive issue in Italy for example Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astroblack Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Anyone seen those videos online of kids playing some sort of foot volleyball in the forest? I'm sorry but thats so foreign to me.
