August 16, 20242 yr He's still a pretty decent get and was likely the most accomplished manager available who was willing to do the job. And it's not like the expectations are going to be crushing or anything, he should be able to easily walk over the super low bar set by Berhalter. I also wonder if the recent success of Emma Hayes with the USWNT played a factor at all.
August 17, 20242 yr Arsenal is going to be very very good again this year. I would not be surprised if they end up on top.

NEWS FLASH: Madrid won the double last season using THE EXACT SAME overloaded left wing tactic. Literally, exactly the same. Hence why Rodrygo has such higher stats on the left wing — because when in possession Rodrygo and Vini would both operate on the left wing with Carvajal and Valverde providing the width on the right.

However, I’ll freely admit that La Liga is not as entertaining as the EPL. Much more tactically organized defense, low blocks, etc. so you won’t get the frantic pace of the EPL unless there is an early goal.

Girona isn't that far and we have several big soccer fans so a game was in order.

September 28, 20242 yr Time for me to say something about Chelsea as they look to be putting together a pretty good team again. There is plenty of talent on the squad and it looks like the coach has done a good job of identifying the core set of guys and is really bringing them along. The team is the youngest in the PL and they simply have too many players so a number need to go as they just won't get any time. Hard to see which ones will really pan out save for Palmer who is already starting to reach the top group in the league in terms of his consistency and overall performance. Today is the headline grabber but he's played plenty of great games over the last 12+ months. They have a real shot at top four this year and maybe more in the years to come.

That’s a slight understatement bud! In terms of the players Chelsea have and the options available they must have the deepest squad in the world? Finding the right combination was always going to be the key but I think so far as you say they’ve got it right.

They probably have to jettison at least 5 or 6 guys, maybe more.
October 6, 20242 yr Girona keeper saved three penalties Anyone remember three saved penalties in one game? Not counting shootouts of course.

No but I saw our goalkeeper famously save 2 in injury time to preserve victory against local rivals Blackburn. Was years ago as both clubs were in the Premier league . Our captain got sent off after the second for taunting the referee . (OK, for calling him a cheating **%^&## 😁). Looks like you are enjoying things over there 👍
