Kolek planning to go pro
On a more upbeat note, Jesse Marsch landed on his feet quickly as the new manager at Leeds United earlier in the week. Becomes the first American to coach at an actual English EPL club (no offense Bob). Lower expectations but a great club with history and a great fan base. Let’s hope he can make some noise
No US coach will ever get a fair shot in EPL
What an unnecessarily pessimistic and silly sentiment. People said the same thing about American outfield players at non-Fulham EPL clubs 7-8 years ago too. Marsch is an accomplished coach with European success already. If he keeps them up and the off-season isn’t a disaster he’ll get plenty of leash to work next year. And even if he doesn’t last all that long…the EPL has 8 managers out of 20 who have a tenure over 2 years. It’s not exactly a haven of job security. Plenty of managers from all nationalities and experience levels have gotten an unfair shot.
Nah. Look what happened to BradleyThough I acknowledge your point about coaching in the EPL overall
Bradley was hired from a Ligue 2 club, the hire was widely panned and thought to be American nepotism from the start, based on Swansea’s new American owners. And the fan ownership trust of Swansea was very unhappy with the hire. Then Bradley only won 2 out of 11 and gave up 30 goals. He was objectively awful, even for a short stretch.Marsch has already had 2 positions more prestigious than Bradley ever had and more success in Europe. His situation and Bradley’s have nothing in common other than both being American.That’s like saying cause Jozy Altidore struggled at Hull no American forwards will ever succeed in England
Crazy riot in ligaMX, queretaro fans attack atlas fans in the stands. Reports of fatalities. Just nuts
I don’t advise watching the videos circulating if you’re easily bothered. It’s absolutely horrific. Atlas fans unconscious on the ground as Queretaro fans walk by and kick and punch them or strip them naked before assaulting further. A number of confirmed fatalities already. Q fans attacking anyone with an Atlas jersey on, including women and kids.I saw a video of a stadium worker pulling an unconscious guy to the side/safety, she gets pushed out of the way so random guys can drag the body back into the concourse for more violence…and I decided that was enough. Absolutely no reason the club shouldn’t be booted from LigaMX
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
PSG gonna PSG. The most mentally weak team I've ever seen in any sport.
Chelsea and abromovich have had their assets frozen by the UK govt.https://mobile.twitter.com/Steven_Swinford/status/1501847597140660226
Messi missing a pen in the first leg, no one stepping up and taking a yellow to stop Modric in the build up to the second goal, having 7 players in the box but no one marking Benzema for the second goal, Marquinhos inexplicably clearing the ball low and across the middle when he could have just booted it for a throw or even a corner for the third. Poch certainly didn’t cover himself in glory either, but PSG is a mentally weak team.
The Ricketts and Ken Griffin, favored to buy Chelsea. The rest of the EPL fans should be screaming in delight.
