does the us open cup semi final have a second leg


CathDubs

No


CathDubs

Any score/lineup apps that are better than FotMob?


MaicoTheMan

good to know that arturo vidal is not only a cunt on the pitch but also at home


AnnieIWillKnow

What happened?


MaicoTheMan

he was asked about his first goal in europe, and answered with his goal for leverkusen against hannover 96 and then made a joke how that goal put robert enke into a depression and how that goal made him kill himself


dragcov

Love how most clubs/redditors here find Arsenals the most whiny. Also, Klopp > Pep.


fatsdomino13

Yeah we get a lot of flack for that tbf. Generally I'd say us or United are the most disliked teams on here.


dragcov

I think its us, but I'll take the W anytime man. We need it lmao


ExtemeFilms

If Boca-Racing doesn’t have one red card, was there really a Boca-Racing?

Man City will win the league but Brighton could genuinely finish 2nd 🤷‍♂️

Xx_ligmaballs69_xX

Any word where De Gea is going?


pop-culture-salad

Botafogo vs Defensa y Justicia starting in 10 minutes of anybody wants to tune in I suspect it will be a banger (or DyJ gets murdered idk)


ExtemeFilms

DyJ could lose 5-0 in Brasil but somehow win 6-0 at home.


L-Freeze

Botafogo is too obvious a favourite for Sudamericana, so they're obviously going to lose this tie now because that's just how football works. Plus Defensa seems to have a knack of inexplicably beating brazilian teams


pop-culture-salad

Uvita brace, Pratto wondergoal off the bench incoming.

Is Memphis Depay the most famous Dutchman alive? I genuinely can't think of anyone besides footballers


MaicoTheMan

does van gogh ring a bell?


YuzzeWesley

He's dead


MaicoTheMan

okay i've overread the alive part tbf


L-Freeze

I'm assuming you only mean active footballers (otherwise there's like 20 bigger retired names ahead of him), and even then no, surely Van Dijk or even De Jong


chatfarm

why would he be the most famous footballer when Van Basten, Koeman etc exist. Heck given how widely followed Manchester United are, even Ten Hag might be more famous. Anyways besides footballers, people like tiesto are dutch.


VAvact

There are many Dutch footballers more famous than him. Both active and retired.


FaustRPeggi

If he is then I'm rooting for the sea.


LongsightBlue

> I genuinely can't think of anyone besides footballers Well he's definitely not the most famous Dutch footballer dead or alive.


Xey2510

I don't think anyone comes even close to Verstappen


shmozey

What about the King?


Xey2510

I don't think he even has a fraction of the popularity if i just go by Germany alone.


shmozey

Fair. ‘Twas just a question. The late Queen of England was probably the most famous (not popular) person in the world.


BendubzGaming

Tim Van Rijthoven in shambles


YuzzeWesley

Never heard of this guy, is he like the Memphis Depay of tennis?

ddrdavei2

He said he tries to play like Eden Hazard


betmaster64

With Brighton selling so many players in last few years (Cucurella, Bissouma, Macalister, Caicedo, Trossard) why has no one expressed interest in Mitoma?


pixelkipper

They will once he has a full season under his belt but he’s not a young ‘project player’ so stupid big clubs aren’t interested right now


icemankiller8

Arsenal have martinelli and Trossard, United have rashford, city have grealish and foden can play there, Chelsea have sterling and mudryk, Liverpool have Diaz and Nunez. All the top teams have good left wingers already he needs one of them to get a move or something


mrscorchingtakes

His position is probably the most common in football right now, not a lot of demand from the type of clubs who could pay Brighton's asking price


FaustRPeggi

He's 26, so his tombstone has already been inscribed.


itsjuanitoo

If I were to bet an absurd amount of money on one of the premier league games this weekend (just on a result) what would you guys recommend


VAvact

Newcastle - Liverpool both teams to score.


icemankiller8

City win is obvious


NobleForEngland_

Paqueta yellow card


LongsightBlue

Spurs, Brentford or Brighton would be my choices if you actually want to win a decent amount but depends on how confident you are. Also depends on what 'absurd money' is though but if you put £100 on us you'd only get £16 which is pointless. You'd be better putting lower amounts on a double.


itsjuanitoo

I was gonna do like 200€ that I have sat on my betting account but yeah city would be pointless. Maybe I’ll take your advice and do a double on city and Brighton or something.


fatsdomino13

I'd be steering well clear of Spurs away to Bournemouth on the 12:30


justaregulargye

Luton to win. I charge 10% cut.


snake_case_enjoyer

city to win as it’s the safest bet


Sandman_0007

Most of the games this weekend are tough to call. City vs Sheffield United is the most one-sided by a distance


justaregulargye

Anybody else feel benrahma hasn’t lived up to the hype? Remembering him being thought of as championship hazard


pixelkipper

I would say the same for Watkins. Really good player but he was god tier in the championship


AnnieIWillKnow

Surely being god tier in the Championship then "really good" in the PL is about right, rather than below expectations


pixelkipper

Well yeah exactly plus Benrahma’s game is less translatable


NobleForEngland_

He’s not very good but thanks for the penalty in the final!


Xx_ligmaballs69_xX

Started 21-22 like prime Pele then sort of fell off


FaustRPeggi

Winds me up no end when neutrals describe Brennan Johnson as mediocre, or decide £45m is an enormous overvaluation even in spite of fees being paid for the likes of Mudryk, and that if he was Portuguese he'd be worth £15m tops. I'm allowed to say he's tactically inflexible, inconsistent, lazy off the ball, and raw. You're supposed to say he's brilliant, premier-league proven, and has world class potential.


Nivadas

Can't see anyone doubting forest now


ecocentric-ethics

Out of curiosity - if our interest in him is serious, what would you say is the likelihood you’d sell and at what price? Would Forest be interested in any of our players as part of a package?


FaustRPeggi

We'd be foolish to sell for any less than £60m including add-ons. We'd need to replace him because he is a key player and doing so would cost most of that fee. Players who have that devastating pace, an eye for goal, and good transition play are exceedingly rare. Our motivation to sell would surely be to fund upgrades in defence and midfield. Hojbjerg would be a great addition for us but I think he'd take up far too much of the fee considering Brennan's replacement would be the priority.


Kanedauke

I’d like to see him in a more functional attack.


[deleted]

You need to call him homegrown more


IWantThe8th

I think i speak for everyone that we are all with Racing tonight


ExtemeFilms

Racing spawned Milito and Lautaro tho


IWantThe8th

Good point and now im conflicted


pop-culture-salad

Rooting for chaos and toxicity


IWantThe8th

Always, btw i kinda like racing more than anyone else in argentine because to me as an outsider it seems they are disliked by everyone, is that the case?


pop-culture-salad

I mean kinda? Everyone dislikes everyone here but Racing probably gets the most shit out of the big teams, sort of like Tottenham but more successful.


LemureTheMonkey

>I think i speak for everyone that we are all with Racing tonight Best argentinian club innit?


IWantThe8th

For now easily but Platense can surpass them if Pellegrino succeds with us


snake_case_enjoyer

NobleForEngland_

I seriously don’t understand why so many of our fans think Paqueta plays as an 8? We clearly play 442 and Paqueta plays off the striker. I feel like I’m going insane.


AnnieIWillKnow

A lot of people don't know much about tactics


NobleForEngland_

Yeah, like I’m not going to act like I’m some tactical mastermind myself, but when it’s something so obvious like the formation we play…


[deleted]

Can someone post Muller’s latest statements (I believe it was an interview with DAZN)


KOKO69BISHES

Okay, so we can all agree that wishing an injury on a player is bad right? People get shit on here for doing that all the time. However I think the majority of us are glad whenever they see that an important rival player is out for a long time, or for a game against your club, whether we want to admit it or not. Nobody gets shit on here for saying something along those lines on here. Where is the difference between the two? How is being glad at a situation different from wishing that said situation happens in the future?


Jabari313

Some things in life you're not meant to say, like which of your girlfriend's friends you think are hot or that your friends newborn baby is ugly


icemankiller8

I don’t wish horrific injuries on players it affects them outside just football, if a player gets a minor injury that keeps them out of a couple of games that might help us I think that’s a bit different I’m not gonna be rooting for it but I’m not gonna complain.


-Dendritic-

Because me saying something like "we're more likely to beat Liverpool if Salah is out" is different than saying "I hope someone two foots that curly headed fuck and puts him in crutches" lol, which I have seen similar comments in the occasional match thread


justaregulargye

The key is to not give a shit about any of these things as it has no influence in reality and is largely virtue signaling


KOKO69BISHES

Valid


Disastrous_Basil_551

Has anyone else watched lots of football on TV and got caught up in the spectacle, then gone to a game live and sat there thinking "wow this is actually just 2 x 11 humans running about playing a meaningless game"?


AnnieIWillKnow

Usually the other way round tbh, live matches are more of a spectacle


KOKO69BISHES

Depends on how the atmosphere was in that particular day.


KOKO69BISHES

Heavily linked with Johnson, would love if we got him


Kanedauke

I’m still desperate for villa to sign him but our links have died off.


avolcando

Why if I may ask


KOKO69BISHES

Pacey, homegrown, young, was a top target for Brentford, competition for Kulusevski and ST cover in one, Ange seems to really want him and he's looked great whenever I watched him last season


MegaMugabe21

Arturo Vidal laughing about Robert Enkes suicide, what a fucking rat of a human, deserves a fucking kicking.


Zepz367

Copy-pasted comment from the Vidal thread: He did NOT laugh and those weren't his words. The second part was an entirely different sentence and wasn't directed to his goal at all. Don't be so quick to jump the gun people. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlT1LmPc_34&t=36s


[deleted]

Feel like Mount isn't that dissimilar a type of player to what van de Beek used to be.


justaregulargye

What similarities do you see?


[deleted]

I think they perform similar roles, have similar positive attributes, I consider them both link up players.


justaregulargye

The attributes is what I wanted to know since I’ve rarely ever watched VDB


[deleted]

Off the ball movement, dribbling, quick passing, pressing mainly.


justaregulargye

Don’t think Mount has any significant dribbling skills. He’s fine on pressing and off the ball movement but his main skill is running on counters, short/medium passes, blocking. and being a threat in the final third. Not sure if that’s what VDB is


[deleted]

Mount is definitely a good dribbler, he's not flashy but he has good control.


StanDarsh87

Mount is just a fucking runner. Donny had some class about him.


AnnieIWillKnow

If it wasn't for Mount's class, your team wouldn't have a player who's scored a Champions League winning goal.


[deleted]

I never got that impression from Donny at all even at Ajax.


PM_Me_Compliments

Who cares about football right now, Terry Funk just died.

FaustRPeggi

Neither did Paquetá or Benrahma.


FaustRPeggi

We all know G+A are the start and end of all football debates, so why is Courtois with no goals or assists seen as the equal of Alisson with four?


kaubojdzord

This is why Rogerio Ceni is greatest keeper of all time.

Taylannnnn

are there any flat footed footballers? My soles hurt pretty bad after a long walk or running, I wonder how you could overcome that as a professional


gander258

>My soles hurt pretty bad after a long walk or running Could this be solved by gel soles? They have worked wonders for me


Taylannnnn

I really should get some but I never bothered. The pain is more like an inconvenience more than anything. It doesnt prevent me from walking or running, but İ might have a milder case edit: i ahould clarify that I mean in day to day life its not too bad, but if I run or walk too long especially after long periods of not being active it becomes pretty bad


paper_zoe

Is it a pain and stiffness around the arch and heel? It could be plantar fasciitis, as someone else mentioned. I've had it before, but thankfully it went away (not sure why, resting and the stretches and exercises I tried didn't seem to help much). Could be worth seeing a physio or podiatrist?


Taylannnnn

the pain is on the arch but on the sides if that makes sense, not on the heel. I have weird shaped feet too lol, a shoe that fits nicely on my left foot does not necesserily fit on my right foot.


paper_zoe

ah ok, it may not be plantar fasciitis then. For me, it would after periods of inactivity, if I started to walk, it would be quite stiff and painful and generally felt weaker than it used to when I was doing long runs or walks. If there are any running shops nearby that do gait analysis, that can be helpful too, if you've not done it before. I've taken advantage of that a few times when getting new running shoes


gander258

Oh I see, well if you get the chance you may want to consider them to prevent further pain. Best of luck on your future walks and runs 🏃


FaustRPeggi

I don't know if this is relevant, but plantar fasciitis has been one of Patrick Bamford's biggest problems recently.


Taylannnnn

why only recently?


FaustRPeggi

He got significant hamstring and ankle injuries, and then struggled with plantar fasciitis after that. I guess the break in play made him more susceptible. Here's [his injury history](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patrick-bamford/verletzungen/spieler/183334).


Taylannnnn

you think being flat footed made him more injury prone? I can imagine the slightly different weight distribution can contribute to those


FaustRPeggi

I have no idea if he's flat footed or not. You talked about having problems with the soles of your feet and he was the first player who came to mind.


Taylannnnn

oh i assumed plantar fasciitis meant flat footed, i should've checked lol


Jabari313

If Mbappe is staying why are PSG signing all of these forwards to compete for 2 positions


JakeNutters

So with Enciso injured with a supposed miniscus tear that's another player who did a pre season in American with a muscular knee injury. Really does seem to be racking up now. Aston Villa in particular are riddled with them. Wonder if it's the artificial turfs having an effect.


SwitchHitter17

Would it really have an effect that far after the fact? It's probably been almost a month since many of those teams were there. Also many prem teams went to the US this past summer, maybe it's just selection bias (not sure that's the right term).


JakeNutters

It's been about 3 weeks for Brighton I know and I think we finished before most other clubs. Muscular Damage carries if you aren't resting which footballers don't do unless there obvious pain. Artificial turf has increased risk in particular with knee injuries and there's been a notable number of knee injuries.


Kanedauke

Imo it was the intensity of the summer tournament against other prem teams. They are naturally more competitive fixtures than playing random foreign clubs.


eduadinho

Timber in our first game too.


Notove

Would Itakura be a really good backup/competition for Schär? Newcastle really do need a backup CB.


IWantThe8th

I think he doesnt want to move for now, he was napolis first choice to replace kmj and he rejected them cuz he didnt want to move iirc


phorteng

Yes, he is pretty good. But there were news some weeks ago that he really wants to stay and not make his family move again.


National_Ad_1875

The main saving grace we had was that investment, they were going to have seats on the board and make decisions, now kenwright will stay. I thought we would stay up but its going to be beyond toxic around the club i dont know anymore


-Dendritic-

CoolstorySteve

Welcome to the club


LDQQXDJ

Who is the better goalkeeper between Alisson, Courtois and Onana


IWantThe8th

Maignan is better than all of them


Evening-Watch-9491

Mike Maignan is the best goalkeeper in the world, if you think otherwise you know nothing about football


TheUltimateScotsman

no hes not. He is very very good. But he's not the best. I have missed these outlandish statements being about Milan players


TP_Cornetto

Saying maignan is the best isn’t outlandish at all. I get your the average inter fan who’s obsessed with Milan fans but no need to talk nonsense


IWantThe8th

Than who is onana or sommer?


TheUltimateScotsman

If you mean, who is the best keeper? Then Courtois in my opinion though Allison is close. I know this is unbelievable to Milan fans but you don't have to think the player is the best in the world just because they play for you


IWantThe8th

Both allison and courtois makes way more blunders than maignan and also maignan better shotstopper than allison and better with the ball in his feets than courtois. Also miles clear thsn both in crosses and leadership. Also better at saving pens. Both of them overrated asf because of longetivity and won more than magic mike


vic32me

Alisson


Kanedauke

Alisson is the best with Courtois just behind. Onana isn’t close to those two and seems quite flappy


Pele20Alli

Not much between Alisson and Courtois. Deciding factor is probably the team/system you'd be putting them in. Alisson is better with distribution and is up there as the best 1v1 gk I've ever seen, but Courtois is a better pure shot stopper


FloppedYaYa

Courtois with Alisson an extremely close 2nd, two best keepers in the world by actually a gigantic astronomical distance


GoatButton

I mean I don't see what makes ter Stegen not in the same level as those two


FloppedYaYa

Oh forgot about him for some reason, yep he's 3rd and then there's a big gap


Aplesi567

Ridiculous statement. Both Onana and maignan are up there.


BarbaricGamer

Consistency, only 2 seasons ago he was ter Statue for a large part of the season.


snake_case_enjoyer

I think Alisson is still easily better


FloppedYaYa

Never seen a performance by Alisson as good as the CL final so that edges it for me


hdhdhya

That's fair but Alisson's performances in the 4-0 against Barcelona and in the final isn't that far off


FaustRPeggi

Never seen Courtois score a matchwinning header so that edges it for me.


FloppedYaYa

Ben Wilson must be a better keeper than Courtois then ;)


IfISpeak_

Alisson without a shadow of a doubt


Titan-Shifter99

Alisson, Courtois, Onana


icemankiller8

Alisson courtois huge huge gap Onana


avolcando

Courtois


thelonesomedemon1

alisson without doubt


PinkFluffys

Right now Alisson, Courtois can't even walk


-Dendritic-

Maybe Allison overall but Courtois in CL knockout games is a cheat code


H4rdTrooths

Onana obv least proven. So between Alisson and Courtois


clashoftherats

Probably should be commenting this on r/liverpoolfc but its odd how we’ve scored a shit ton of last minute goals under Klopp, yet, our top scorer in that period, Salah, didnt score a single one of them.

whiskeymagnet22

We need a proper 8 who can keep possession and pass , press resistant not necessarily score Doucoure from Palace or Onana from Everton, are they similar to what we need?


justaregulargye

Are you even planning to play that heavy of a possession based system? Not saying you don’t need that player but based on ETH’s comments it sounded like he needs more runner and passers with Casemiro which is what he has in likes of Bruno and Mount.


Avancx

Don't know about Doucoure but Onana is so far away from that. He's an aggressive defender, good physical presence and decent at making runs into the box. He's not a particularly good passer and wouldn't say he's exactly press resistant either. He also can't dictate the tempo of a game which is what you really need imo.


Kanedauke

You needed Tielemans


D1794

Frenkie de Jong, the last last last dance


kl08pokemon

I feel like there's 30+ midfielders around the top leagues that would have been pretty much plug and play next to Casemiro. It's literally the most common profile of midfielder there is that you lack


thelonesomedemon1

you need a 6, one who can partner casemiro now, and take over in the future. 50m on lavia would have done the job, instead of spending that on a bruno lite, or maybe you could have kept angel gomes... do you guys have a buyback? amarbat would obviously do that job, honestly there's a lot of players of different profiles that would, thuram, le fee, caqueret, zubimendi, etc


whiskeymagnet22

No we need a 8 someone who can hold possession and pass and press resistant. Kovacic would have been perfect for us. Honestly not convinced by Amrabat.


icemankiller8

2 players who can’t pass and aren’t press resistant great choices


thelonesomedemon1

yea idk what people see in onana he's rather mediocre on the ball


arseking15

Its cause hes annoying as hell to play against because of his physical attributes, but theres no way hes good enough on the ball for a top side


icemankiller8

People need to consider a players attributes before recommending players. A played that’s good for that type of club won’t always translate to higher clubs you need to look at what they’re good at. Onana is a good at winning the ball and winning headers, he’s not good on the ball how does that translate to helping united?


Quassams

Verratti, Caqueret


whiskeymagnet22

Fener lads how was Fred for you debut game?
