The Soccer Thread (Version 11)

Ronaldo winds up positive for Covid ... less than 24 hours after posting photos with the rest of the Portugal squad.

 

How, how was Mane offside?

 

He wasn’t. Just like VAR should have sent off Pickford but didn’t even check.

LiVARpool, my fucking ass.

 

West Ham at the death come back from 3-0 to go level with Spurs. Incredible.

 

That tying goal. Woof.

 

That ball had no business going in, but once it got past that first wall of people, there was no chance for the keeper. Bad clearance but a helluva strike.

 

I was working out and watched through the 75th minute. No idea that the Hammers scored 3 until I got a bunch of holy crap texts.

 

I’m still watching the second Man United goal yesterday on repeat. Fantastic team goal.

 

Villa is 4-0-0, 12 points. Unbelievable.

 

Really enjoying the CBS sports red zone style show for the UCL.

 

Kind of a weird question, but why do the seats on the bench for high level soccer matches always look like they were pulled out of a Porsche or Lambo? I understand sponsorship and such, but they don't even look comfortable to sit in (if you sat in them fully) let alone the way most reserves sit on the edge leaned forward to watch the action on the field.

 

My guess is that they really want that super high back on the chairs so that you can read the sponsor even if someone is sitting in it. They do not look like they would be comfortable
