I have no strong feelings about this other than anything Draymond Green dislikes is something I support.

this is correct. Qatar Airways and the monetized nature of soccer have very little to do with it. cultural identity, language politics, and legal rules on self-determination very much do.

Barça is a hugely political monster, not just a sporting one. You’ve missed out on like 80% of what’s going on. Granted, about half of that happens behind closed doors and among various infighting groups within the membership...but if you think that anything involving management decisions is just stuff on the field…

“That’s not rugby.”

have those not made it to English language media yet? lucky! until the last six weeks or so, Vidal had been out of favor with Luis Enrique his whole time at Barcelona...so in Spain they’ve been writing about Bellerín coming back for a while. it’s been predictably tiring.

yet he’s somehow forgotten that Deulofeu played left wing at Barça, so Milan playing him at left wing is, uh, not all that novel.

something... something... Lebron... something... something...

the millionaire should give up money so the billionaire Gilbert doesn’t have to spend? nah.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes, he can. The rest of the team just isn’t very good.

in fairness, Draymond has a rivalry with any set of testicles he sees more than once.

40 games unbeaten and Real Madrid only have a 1 point lead (maybe 4 with the game in hand)? Yesh.

Folks screaming “Pep has to adapt to the English game!” must think that the opponents don’t shoot in Spain and Germany. Bravo can’t stop shit.

think of how much better he’d be if he took good shots. yikes.

gotta save up for the fines he’s gonna pay for 150 million euros of tax fraud.

doe truthers out in force this year.

I mean, of the players who were both European Cup and Champions League champions, there one who was obviously better than the rest.

“oh, please.”

he’s had so much practice at it, you’d think he’d be good at losing by now.

how long was that punt?!?!?!?!

Cameroon is in Europe now? Man, this Trump presidency is really getting nuts.
