    If Spurs somehow miss out on 5th then I'd love for us to sign Son. Seems a very Klopp player.

    He'd cost more than Mbappe with Levi doing the negotiating.

    I don't think I've seen a more talented Asian player, to be fair.

    I was reading earlier about some record Cronaldo was in danger of breaking for consecutive goals in Serie A, then I see he didn't feature at all today. Did Sarri just leave him out?



    Think it was Batistuta's record so glad it still stands. Bet there's some seethe going on there if he was left out.

    So, Marega of Porto was racially abused in a game tonight. He decided to walk off the pitch. The rest of his teammates instead of showing support, shouted at him and tried dragging him back when he was trying to leave the pitch.

    Took him a couple of minutes to get off as he was obviously emotional. Soon as he left the game continued as if nothing had happened.

    I don't even think it's all that impressive given the amount of penalties involved.

    Apparently he asked to be rested anyway, boo.

    Got a lot of time for Lazio after watching that game. What a bunch of misfits on a mission, manager included. I'm quite enjoying these Serie A Sunday evenings, having probably not watched a game from Italy for about 10 years.

    Cursory lol at Real Madrid, City really ought to absolutely spanner them whenever the play.

    In footballing terms, Australia is not Asia. They just play against Asians.

    Agreed. Think we might struggle and four is about right. I'd say one against Chelsea and three against Liverpool.

    The opposite, surely.
    In the footballing terms, Australia definitely is Asia (the link you posted even has an Australian winner).

    The question is whether Australians should be considered when generally discussing 'Asian footballers'. I think they should be now, but can understand the reluctance when discussing historical figures.

    Interested to hear @Queenslander thoughts.

    He’s Australian so he’s not Asian. Where he plays doesn’t come into it.

    Should Irish players therefore be considered foreigners in the Premier League?
    I get your point, but I think It's a little more nuanced within the context of football. Just look at the likes of Guyana, Suriname, Israel and Kazakhstan.

    Yup - awful behaviour. Excuses already coming out. "They were trying to calm him down so he didn't get a second yellow card". "They didn't want the racists to win".
    Imagine being racially abused in a bar, and when attempting to leave, your "mates" start screaming at you and dragging back into the bar to finish your pint.

    The twat with the man bun especially needs a good slap. Absolute madness though, he clearly wanted off and all of them pulling and dragging out of him, even one of them making the ’loopy’ sign.
    Like you say, how they try paint this should be laughable.

    That Son goal was just sickening. No one to blame but ourselves, but still, absolutely gut-wrenching after such a brilliant game.

    We are definitely asian when it comes to football. I would consider the current under 23s to be Asian footballers.

    It is hard to get across how big the Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai communities are down here especially during the world cup and asian cup years. The sub continent blokes dont like football.

    Since when is a nationality "when it comes to football" a thing?

    And more importantly does United being European "when it comes to football" mean I can ignore a lot of the Brexit bollocks? Because if the made-up hogwash isn't going to work in my favour then I'm not interested.

    I guess when a country like Australia changes Confederation halfway through their existence.
    It may be different for Queenslander, but for me, Australia is basically Asia anyway - it doesn't feel like a seperate continent - and feels more contected to East Asia than countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

    I see what I have done.

    We are an Asian country if I was to attempt to explain my opinion to an American or European.

    His country play in asian football tournaments. In the scope of this conversation, Cahil is up there as one of the best asian players to ever do it.

    Australia also take part in Eurovision, but it doesn't mean they're European. Cahill is not an Asian footballer.

    They've got one of those pick a combined side things on the BBC website for United and Chelsea. Really highlights how few decent players both have got. Think I ended up with some weird 3-3-3-1 formation as otherwise you're essentially having to commit to one of their leftbacks, all of whom are dreadful.

    If Australia take part in Eurovision and do well. Then Australia are one of the best eurovision players.

    I think that's unfair to Williams. He'll be starting ahead of fatboy every game next season.

    As if to prove my point the final analysis has an ageing centre-half turned rightback there. Williams would have been a better shout. Also lol at Abraham getting in.

    Barcelona have been given permission from La Liga to sign a striker, despite the league being outside of the transfer window, due to the injury to Dembele. What a joke league.

    I’d missed this. He must have been out the day they were handing out brain cells.

    https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2020...k-lads-remark/

    “Speaking on BBC Radio Derby's Sportscene Podcast, Ramage said:
    When I look over and I look at certain players, their body language, their stance, the way they act, you just feel, 'whoa, hold on a minute - he needs pulling down a peg or two'. So I'd probably say that about all the young black lads.
