Also this season is the first with a winter break added for the premier league. 5 of the 10 matches to be played February 8th with the remaining 5 times to play February 15th, meaning every team will get 2 weeks break. | ||

I think the chances of 2 of the top 6 playing each other in the first week aren't that low tbh. In fact I think its more likely than not, but I don't maths. | ||

February 8th fixtures are split. 5 matches 8th weekend, 5 matches 15th weekend. So there is always games for us to watch as fans and every team gets 2 weeks no football. Its also in February remember so it isn't holidays then is it? xD | ||

Also after some investigations the champions league last 16 this year begins February 18th!! So that means any top 4 side in champions league that gets out of their group could find themselves only with a 10 day break instead of the 14 on offer to everyone else. Oh and i guess the Europa League sides will also be in this boat as well. | ||

Speaking of sportsmanship in women's football, the Brazil players were furious. The ref called them over, explained the decision, the players all just nodded and carried on playing like they never fucking do in the men's game. | ||

That isn't offside. I've been pissed at this for years, but this is a loophole in the offside rule when the defender plays the ball before it ever gets to an offside player. Technically this is an advantage played on (or passive offside if you will) that is then bungled by the defense. It's bullshit but it is technically correct. | ||

I dont have a problem with it either unless the offside player actually affects the defender which they didnt in this case. She isnt even occupying space that upsets the defenders attempt. I disagree with the commentator that shes involved in the play. You cant make the argument that because the ball wouldnt have been played if she wasnt there, and therefore counts an involvement. Thats too far removed. What does exist is that the ball was played and the player was not involved. its the same as if a ball is played is an attack is offside and the defender mis-controls it onto them or plays a bad backpass without the attacker doing anything to affect it. Deflections is another matter though. So I disagree thats bullshit aswell. | ||

As a player, he's obviously top tier and could play on the side or as a 9/9.5 to let Suarez rest so it's not a bad idea for that at least. And if they don't sell Dembélé, maybe he can help him grow as a player too. Anyway I'd prefer a Griezmann signing to a Neymar return, if that's the only 2 options... | ||

Personality wise he doesn't seem particularly likable, but maybe a transfer could also give him a nice fresh start on there too. Most of the stuff from him seems more naive and silly than malicious, don't know whether that's a good or a bad thing. | ||

I think giving the goal was the correct decision. The offside player didn't do anything active | ||
