Good game tomorrow (Tuesday) 9:30 am on Sportsnet - Dortmund and Bayern, battle for first place.  Bayern has a four point lead on Dortmund with seven games left in the season.

Another nice article about Alphonso Davies from Sports Illustrated:

 

"Presumably there will come a time when Alphonso Davies’s pace ceases to feel spectacular, but we’re not there yet. It’s impossible to see him, even in the company of other quick, elite-level sportsmen, and not be struck by just how fast he is."

Wish the Champions League comes back in a couple months.

 

Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint-Germain would be amazing.

 

What a sight it would be to see Phonsie having the experience trying to defend the threat of a world class player with the blistering pace of a Kylian Mbappe bombing down the flanks at him all game long!

 

Would love to see how he would handle trying to mark arguably one of if not the absolute fastest player in the world.

 

What a story it could be if Davies held his own against the best young player in the world on a massive stage. His Transfermarkt valuation would sky rocket and would surely draw major interest from some of the EPL heavyweights.

 

One can dream...

Gotta say, all sports suffer from no fans in attendance.  But especially soccer.  Really miss the chanting and the flag waving.

I think the NFL will do ok because the camera is so zoomed in anyways really are you paying attention to the people in the crowd much? Not really.

 

Plus they already have plans to pump in crowd noise something NFL teams have been accused of doing illegally in the past anyways.

 

I think the NFL will look the best on TV imo. It's going to look weird for everyone.

 

F1 racing should also be fine and NBA already has music playing during the play anyways.

Is Wolverhampton expected to stay within the EPL for a good while? Looking to get into the EPL and have been leaning towards the Wolves.

Yeah they're too good to get relegated. And just Wolves, not the Wolves. Don't ask why.

United closing the season out with a bang! 16 games unbeaten, 15 mins away from being the only side in PL history to win 4 straight games with a margin of 3 or more goals. 

 

Ole’s system is in place now. This will be the new norm moving forward. Nearly a decade later and United are back to being where they belong. Summer transfers (very likely Sancho, probably Grealish + a CB) will strengthen the squad. Ole the only manager man enough to get rid of the dead wood...he took the hit for that early on having a depleted squad but long terms it’s paid off huge. & speaking of wood, Greenwood. My goodness. Highest ceiling of any youngster in world football, unbelievable talent !!
