The games on Amazon will not need a Prime subscription, so also free. No news on what BT will do yet Cheers Mikey, I didn’t realise so many games would be free to air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 The Portuguese league restarted this week and Benfica had their team bus attacked by their own fans after only drawing 0-0 against Tondela. 2 players were injured. Nice to have football back so that people have somewhere to aim their anger and frustration at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Sancho fined for getting his hair cut at home which isnt allowed The media will have a field day, not because he broke the rules, that only applies if your a foreigner, they'll want to bring him to the PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as other players in the UK. If you are going to have a sneaky trim, don't Instagram it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Rangers have proposed a league reform with some B teams in the lower leagues. Could keep the lower end going but only worth doing if the clubs down there are going to go out of business, maybe this could get those leagues a TV deal? Talk of L1/L2 in England going north/south out of this as well. This will stretch out the finances even more. Teams at the top will be further away than ever.

Instead of the bigger clubs allowing some of the revenues to go to the lower leagues, they'll just crowd the lower league clubs out by making them compete with players trained in the top flight with all the facilities at their disposal. You can imagine the Rangers B team winning the same lower league every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 The games are still played at a strange pace. they certainly lack the intensity of normal games, still has the feel of a training game or friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Quote England and Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling has backed protests taking place across the UK, saying "the only disease right now is the racism that we are fighting". Honestly, has coronavirus suddenly disappeared then. it wasn't that long ago he was saying how much he was concerned about playing football again.

sne Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Festival of Football Mk2 Quote The Champions League concludes with a mini-tournament in Lisbon in August. It states German paper BILD. At the same time, information emerges that both quarter finals and semi-finals can be decided in single meetings. - Several different formats have been discussed and the message will come on June 17, says Uefa veteran Lars-Christer Olsson. First, the remaining return matches in the eighth finals, including Juventus-Lyon, Manchester City-Real Madrid, Barcelona-Napoli and Bayern Munich-Chelsea, will be played. Then Uefa has decided to organize a mini-tournament, or a "flash tournament" as German Bild calls it, where the eight remaining club teams settle for the Champions League title. Football-Italia writes that it is likely that both the quarter finals and the semifinals will be redone and decided in single meetings before it is time for the finals. All this is scheduled to be completed in August and according to Bild, Uefa has decided to place the matches in Lisbon. The newspaper writes that Frankfurt had hopes of hosting the matches, but that they are now forced to look defeated by the Portuguese capital. Moscow and Istanbul also should have been in the match, but the election must have fallen in Lisbon in the end. For several reasons. Tasks: The CL playoffs are decided in Lisbon Among other things, one must have taken into account Portugal's low numbers of infected and dead in covid-19 and that Lisbon has the majority of arenas that meet the requirements of the European Football Association. This at the same time as there are no longer any Portuguese teams left in the tournament, which means no team will get home-team advantage. Something that would have happened if Frankfurt had the honor of being hosted as RB Leipzig is ready for the quarterfinals, while Bayern Munich have 3-0 to go ahead of the home tour against Chelsea in the eighth. Lars-Christer Olsson has been sitting at the top of Uefa's executive committee for several years. But he cannot confirm Bild's information. - Several different types of formats have been discussed. You have to do that when you have an opponent like the corona virus. You have to have several options, he says when the SportExpress calls. https://www.expressen.se/sport/fotboll/champions-league/uppgifter-planen-for-cl-avgors-i-miniturnering/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 He's never been the most athletic guy but the pictures of Higuain coming back from quarantine is pretty funny. Especially compared to how Ronaldo looks. Higuain looks like a pastry chef who likes to taste all his wares one extra time just to make sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
