Pretty good week for Sevilla. Still need to pass three teams, but they all just got a little bit closer. Battle for Europa League (Sociedad, Villareal, Betis) pretty interesting as is the fight to avoid relegation. Eibar need a miracle or two, but one point separates 16-18.

I think you're right. To me it was just such a short sighted, arrogant attempt to create a more predictable revenue stream for several reasons: 1. All clubs, not just big clubs, were hit hard by the pandemic. This attitude of "fixing" revenue to make it more predictable implies that only big...

After the shenanigans this week, I'm on board. They have a bunch of players I like to watch play- Kounde, Ocampos, Suso, Papu Gomez, Jordan, Rakitic. If they had a more consistent goal scorer, they'd be a legit threat.

This is just the perfect example of soccer leadership around the world. Literally the only thing they did right was make sure the money was lined up. Let's form a league! First step, let's meet behind closed doors so nobody can see what we are doing. What teams are in the league? We dunno How...

Speaking of Germany, there was some more Yank on Yank action as RB Leipzig was held to a 0-0 draw by Hoffenheim. Tyler Adams was just ok (aside from missing one of the best chances of the game, though it looked to get touched just before the ball got to him) but Chris Richards was fantastic...

Have you looked at the Ligue 1 table lately?

There is a decent chance PSG could miss UCL next year too (unless they win the whole thing of course). Assuming a Lyon win, PSG would only be 2 points clear of 4th. Top 2 in France are auto-qualifiers for the Champions League group stage, 3rd has to play in. Of course, they're also 1 point out...

He's had a few different roles for Juve, but when they are at their best, this is kinda where he is often. He does play CM/#8, but is constantly making forward runs to stretch the field. It opens up a lot of space behind him, and he often is the furthest player up the field for Juventus. The end...

To cap off a nice weekend, McKennie comes off the bench to score. View: https://twitter.com/si_soccer/status/1381263398411862016

Nice to have some actual soccer to look forward to. There are a couple of added layers to this Clasico, specifically around how RM play with this game being sandwiched between the 'Pool matches. Does Zidane rest Modric or try to limit his running? Does he changed much tactically? As a Barca...

He could very well have not said anything racist at all, we don't know. I highly doubt it as "leave me in peace" as he claims though. Seems like the mics didn't catch anything one way or another. I do criticize Cala's statement that Diakhaby might have just "made it up". It looks like Cadiz is...

We should be talking about a super tight race (assuming a Barca victory tomorrow), El Clasico next week, heck even a little controversy in the Sevilla win today over Atleti. Instead the talk will be about Valencia-Cadiz. ICYMI, Valencia defender Mouctar Diakhaby walked off the pitch along with...

Heck of a win by Sevilla. Barcelona can get to within a point of Atleti with a win tomorrow.

Oblak with a HUGE PK save for Atletico in a HUGE game for them against Sevilla (who are really up for it). Anything short of a win for Ateltico will really make the masses shout Hay Liga

Cadiz-Valencia game on hold due to comment made by Cadiz player Juan Cala to Diakhaby of Valencia. Daikhaby went after Cala then left the field, clearly furious. Potentially a racist comment and Valencia has just returned to the field. Referee heard nothing. Just a shame.
