OT: Soccer thread

Goddamn it, had Richie having to come off…..first casualty of that Bissouma red tho.

likely means Bryan Gil doesn’t get the appearance he’d have been all but guaranteed off if we were up a couple goals late.

I've been doing fairly well wagering on soccer this week, mostly in an effort to move a bunch of $ from one book to another. I did Spurs ML + under 4.5 goals last night and felt a little uneasy about it, thinking a high scoring game was possible. Well....now I'm hoping for a goal.
 
I may have to spend my entire Dynasty Baseball winnings on Spurs kits….cause I don’t know how I’d decide on just one of Bissouma, Van De Ven, Udogie or Maddison.

BTW, I love that stadium. It's hilarious how little space there is to take a corner. Fun stuff.

💯 ….when I fly over to see a game I’m absolutely scheduling it so it’s one game at Hotspur stadium, and one as some small small venue like this. Just magical atmosphere.

Have so much respect for die hard fans of these teams too.

I watched a game at Bloomfield Road in Blackpool, the one year they made it to the PL. Against Man City (their old rivals from the Championship) no less. Absolutely incredible experience. Still got the touque kicking around.

Yeah, it fits nice (l'il better if I lost 10 lbs). I got Son in the White and Maddison in the blue.

Oh sick, I didn’t want to say anything when you said you were getting Maddison in case you’d bought a home kit, but that away kit is thee Maddison kit imo, he was born to wear that one with the collar.

…and yeah Son white kit is timeless, great buy.

yeah it's gorgeous, absolutely love it. Was wearing it during the first half, but took it off to avoid spilling maple syrup on it haha

I think I want to spend a few years in England at some point, and latch on to a Championship team, grab some season tickets, then travel around catching Tottenham on the road versus all the small clubs.….those game day experiences with the diehards feels like bucket list stuff.

I believe they lost 3-1 to City. Carlos Tevez was just an absolute menace that game iirc. But when Blackpool scored, no exaggeration the stadium was physically shaking.
 
That’s something else, as crushing as it is to lose to some nobody in Europa League, or a promotion team…..that it’s their fanbases Super Bowl, or in the case of some Europe games, the biggest win they’ve ever seen them have.

Hard to be too cranky over it, when you know diechards are getting that kind of experience out of it.
