    I think they had it last time too. Women's world cup starts in a few days. I watched parts of the last one and it was decent. It made me finally understand the hype behind male international football before the 1990s

    Apparently in an interview with FourFourTwo Maradona has said he should be the next United manager.

    That'd be a laugh.

    Nah, they have been doing that shit for a while. For one, Mexico has been invited for decades. I think the US was there a few times too, as well as other NA no-hopers.

    Nah. It's a great achievement and I hate seeing a club like them win it but the Premier League is what they really want.

    It's the only one an entire generation has yet to witness. Win that dodgy cup in December then those my age will have seen us win everything except the league. Four Champion's League finals, six Europeans finals in 20 years? That's not too shabby.

    Prem vs champs league is an interesting one and I can't quite figure out which is worth more. I lean towards prem, but that's probably just cus I've been brainwashed by sky and because champions league seems like some intangible abstract concept as a West Brom fan who didn't have BT sport until this season.

    I'm not sure if I'm alone, but I basically opted out of caring about it for a few seasons and didn't miss it at all. I remember Atletico lost (?) against Real in a final at some point and Leicester got to the quarters after they won the title (??), whereas I've always been vaguely invested in the league even when my fandom was at its lowest.

    I think it largely depends on the club.

    I'd imagine that the Champions League is more valuable to Man City whereas the league is viewed higher to Liverpool.

    It depends what you're already winning. City would have happily switched places with Liverpool this season.

    When we slipped out of the league picture, Europe became so much more important. Plus it was still exotic in those days.

    It depends on so much, clubs history, it's league position, past form in the competition, quality of the games etc.

    If I were to do a Premier League Years of any year we won, it'd be alot of blurs and '3 months later' whereas 13 years later I can still name where I was, what happened, starting XIs etc of that Champions League run in 2006. Those memories make you want it again. Whereas City fans have spent their most successful period, in their history, getting knocked about in Group Stages of Death due to co-efficient or getting beaten by domestic rivals in the quarters so they pretend they don't care about it. You need the narrative to be written before you care enough to be hurt by it not coming true.

    Whereas Liverpool have had the domestic title just out of their grasp for longer than a growing majority of their fans have been alive, so that's what they crave.

    Chelsea are probably the most interesting case as they seemingly keep winning whatevers going on. When they win they're convinced they're happy with what wins, when they're miserable and want to burn the club to the ground, they win so they just keep on trucking.

    He's not actually slowing down, is he? Okay, he needs ten games off a season; but he's thirty-five next year. He could be leading Juventus in that chump league for another five years.

    Wasn’t he banned for the beginning of the season or was that just the CL?

    Had a peek and he played 31 games. Tbh, It’s a testament to the mans career that scoring 21 goals in a new league gets a :Harold:

    Every muscle in his body looks like it’s a millimetre from tearing apart but it never does. When he retires he should be killed and studied for medical science. I'm sure whatever Reals definitely above board doctors put in him helped but it can't be all gas.

    He is why South American teams always lose. Star worship is in their blood in a way it just isn't in Europe. Brazil will probably win it without him.

    Not in the same way. In South American football they start with the diez and build around them. There's a reason they all shat the bed when Neymar got injured in 2014, they are culturally and emotionally rooted to this concept.

    Star worship over here is opportunistic and circumstancial, rather than structural.

    None of the great German/Italian/Spanish teams of the past or present have had an Anointed One at their heart. France have more of a tradition of it with Platini, Zidane and I suppose Pogba.
