Nothing in football looks as foolish as a botched panenka.

Monaco sweep PSG in league play and avenge their Champions League elimination, while gifting Lens the opportunity to close the gap at the top of League 1.
Real Madrid are such a tactically rudimentary team. Somewhat akin to a Sunday league team made up of supremely talented players.
Atleti approached this second leg with the mindset of a small team. Theyโre paying the price.

Sporting - Bodรธ-Glimt ๐ฎโ๐จ
spent much of my youth in similarly decrepit football grounds ๐ต๐น
I think all those are factors - some more significant than others.
First Wilfried Nancy and now Eric Ramsay. While not indicative of MLS coaching quality (in my opinion) it is bruising for the perception of the league.
Jens Petter Hauge is a funny dude. Deadpan Norwegian humor.
Really curious to see how Bodรธ-Glimt would set-up against Sporting. Sit back and hit on the counter, or revert back to a more possession based system.
I think most would agree with you. And Iโm fully aware that I stand a good chance of being proved wrong. Though, I did say the same thing when he signed for Barcelona.
Mignoletโs howler and Oblakโs phenomenal one-handed save prove pivotal in a tie where there was little between Atlรฉtico Madrid and Club Brugge.
I might be the only one who doesnโt understand where Griezmann fits in Orlandoโs XI. Theyโve already got Ojeda and Pasalic. This is not a question of quality, but of players who like to occupy similar spaces. Surely, there are other positions of concern.
How does Malik Badawi see that and think itโs a red card offense? And how is it taking so long for him to realize his mistake?
Rothrock reminding all of us that you should never give up on a play.
Two MLS Matchday 1 trends:
* defending in a 442
* building with some variation of a back 3
Donโt know about that decision. Thatโs not clear and obvious. And then to show a second yellowโฆ
Iโd be livid if I were a Galaxy supporter.
Lyonโs winning run comes to an end at Strasbourg, one game shy of the record. Strasbourg the better team.
That should be a clean goal for Parma
Push lol unbelievable
Ridiculous double save from Matt Ryan.
Eze is going to be a recurring nightmare for Tottenham.
Agreed. Think theyโre going to surprise a lot of people.
A standout performance from Kahlina ensures Charlotte FC claim a valuable point in St. Louis. That second half felt like a track meet.

Habib Beyeโs tenure as Marseille coach starting very much like it finished at Rennes.
In his 12 minute monologue about Vinicius, Prestianni and Mourinho, Vincent Kompany exemplified how one should use leadership and influence.
That Benfica - Portugalโs biggest club and a beacon of the nationโs football - chose scorched earth, an โus against themโ stance, and denied any wrongdoing, will forever be a blemish on one of the most storied crests in the game.
It would have been simple for #Benfica & #Mourinho: at the very least, state that any form of bigotry is antithetical to club values, an affront to Eusebioโs legacy, suspend Prestianni and enroll him in a mandatory anti-racism educational program.
Josรฉ Mourinho wanted to make sure he sat next to Florentino Perez at the Bernabeu. Thereโs a job opening next season.
