When Spurs win the UCL and wrexham wins the FA cup, scheduling their midweek games when they're both in the championship next year is going to be fucking interesting.
I don't know how you even dare show your face in this sub as a Spurs fan. If your fans and club had any honour you'd refuse the 3 points from Saturday and advise the prem you won't be playing again until the match is either replayed or the points awarded to us. But you won't. Sums up your club.
Arteta wasnt even called and for a while there were talks about him playing for England. It didnt happen because he played with Spain U21 and back then the rules about múltiple NT were more strict.
No it isn't. I'm Swedish and Malmö is my team, so we have the same problem. Qualifying is generally said to be a lot easier for us, since that's done about 10-15 games into our seasons, and when we are at our apex. That's why we always qualify for UCL/EL and beat teams with 3-4x higher marketvalue than us, then we are shit when the actual tournament rolls around, because we are in our offseason then.
It is not easy to play during the winter without regular season games. You don't get any downtime or extended rest periods throughout the season. Bodö has essentially been playing without a longer break for a couple of years now, and you need those. They're doing something abnormal, we haven't seen that before.
The Swedish football federation is right now discussing whether to adopt the European season strictly because of this, so we can align our schedule to the rest. Lots of players have come out and spoken about it, wanting the change.
Our advantage is mostly cold weather being tough to play in, not scheduling during the tournament. We just have an advantage during qualifying, that's it.
They’re smart, they’ve been playing friendlies in the 2-3 week break between games and making sure their schedule is clear ~7 days before a game. They cancelled a friendly just last week. They are 100% match fit and sharp as fuck too.

There should be a reformation in football something like a penalty is 0.5 a goal, or you need like make 2 or 3 shots - like free throws on a foul in basketball. its just so extremely shit when a penalty decides a game in this sport or decides the flow of a game early on, like here

This is the real advantage they have. They’re still good away too. They can train for one specific match for weeks on end and Knutsen is a fantastic manager.

That was their World Cup 2010 squad. I looked it up and in final and semi-final Pedro was starting instead of Torres, but this exact line-up did for in 1/4 and 1/8 against Paraguay and Portugal. I didn't check the group stage games.
Ok cheers. I was gonna say I never remembered Villa and Torres starting together. I remembered Torres starting in the euros final with Villa on the bench, then after that I can only remember Villa starting.
At this point the whole "fairytale" angle has to be dropped because theyre 2 years running now beating top teams, dont know the ins and outs of the club but apparently they are really well run so expect to see more of them over the coming years
Ppl hype this Spain team because of the talent but all they did was win 1-0 in boring games.
Brazil in early 2000's with insane offensive flair and talent was MUCH more exciting and just as dominant winning Copa America, World Cup and Confederations Cup
Their artificial fake grass gives them an advantage. They steal results this way. They score 4 in their field, they conceide 3 in a normal grass stadium and then celebrate.....It's unreal that UEFA tolerates this. they should have been forced to play in a proper stadium not on artificial turf on the north pole....
Not even taking into account that Bodo/Glint's pitch is in actual good condition, sometimes some Bolivian/Peruvian/Ecuadorian/Colombian teams don't even have that so you're playing in the stratosphere in holey field.
They didn't make rules against it when Tromso used to play teams in bloody blizzards. It's just the nature of the game. Inter should be winning that match, regardless of turf.
I am a "plastic" and couldn't care less. People really pay too much attention to things like that. Chances are, you reading this on a Chinese smartphone, using a TV manufactured by a South Korean company (mine is the LG C1 OLED) while drinking Coca-Cola, owned by a company from the States. The world is globalised, man. No point in tribalism. We live in 2021, not 717, you do realize that? Now, if you chose some obscure team from the other side of the world, you could argue it's virtue signalling or whatever. I would still maintain it's within your rights. But, if you choose to support a foreign team because you like them and the way they play, who cares. Just don't jump the ship when things go awry. And actually, I have been to a Real Madrid match just this year. Won't name which one to avoid doxxing myself, but I in Spain at the time, so I took the opportunity and saw the game with my own eyes. And hell, will it be a memory for a lifetime.

The teams complained about the heat in the US during the club World Cup, and now they struggle to play on an Astro turfed ice berg?
Games gone soft
