The Soccer Thread (Version 10)

MLS shut down for 30 days.

 

I am betting heavy on Europa league today. Figure that’s going to be it for a while.

 

Woops. Try again.

"The apology from U.S. Soccer came after a big sponsor, Coca-Cola, condemned the argument.

Coca-Cola in a statement told Buzzfeed, “We are extremely disappointed with the unacceptable and offensive comments made by U.S. Soccer. We have asked to meet with them immediately to express our concerns."

USL Championship suspends season due to COVID-19 impact

 

VW just ran US Soccer over, backed up and did it again.

 

I hope they left the ignition on and continue to rev the engine. Megan Rapinoe shot back at U.S. Soccer and rightfully so.

Really, really embarrassing that U.S. Soccer would go to these idiotic extremes to not pay the women. Their "arguments" are inexcusably horrible.

USWNT has to wonder if it could get its own sponsors and leave U.S. Soccer out of the loop. I don't care how ridiculous that sounds ... it cannot be any more ridiculous than what U.S. Soccer has claimed, only to get shouted down by Coca-Cola and Volkswagen.

 

Premier League this weekend or nah? It's all we fucking have left.

 

In 9/11 all we lost in sports was football and it was for one week.

Trump Disease picked a hell of a time to strike.

 

No way. My guess is they all postpone for a couple of months and move the Euros to 2021.

If it ends like this, I still have my Ighalo first goal bet in United’s game today.

 

It is going to be weird to have at least a month without sports. I wonder how much of the audience will be permanently lost when they discover they don't miss them that much.
