Seems strange, as I can't imagine FIFA has the power to do that. Also "an algorithm"? They're just going to wave their hands and an algorithm will appear. What? They gonna use FIFA19 ratings to determine player value? :/

I can't watch the NHL any longer. There is no room on the ice. The goalies are so big that less and less often are they forced to make spectacular looking saves; the goalie equipment is so big. They just cover the angle and let the puck hit them. ZZZzzzz. There is so little 5 on 5 scoring. Improving skate technology and improving training have made the players so fast the line between a good play and a catastrophic concussion is so thin head injuries are too frequent. Too many head injuries, players too big for an ice surface designed for guys to be 6 feet tall at most... too few goals.. and boring goalie play have killed the NHL game for me.

for me, Women's Olympic Ice Hockey and Women's world championship ice hockey is more entertaining than the NHL.


uhhh .. ok ?


That was prolly a response to willywankers sexist remarks?


Yes I am aware, but isnt it equally sexist to shit on mens Hockey if you are going to infer sexism from WIlly's comment hmm hmm hmm ?

how is that sexist? willywankers comments werent sexist either.
nothing wrong with saying women are worse than men at most sports; thats just fact.
likewise theres nothing wrong with saying mens nhl is boring now and womens ice hockey seems more entertaining. absolutely nothing sexist about either of those comments


it isnt.. that was my point.. i tried very hard to make the sarcasm clear.. Im surprised at your failure to read it. The person you are looking for is Sharkie. I was just pointing out his usual lack of consistency.

That having been said, Willy's choice of words was still not the best.

big fan of the maximum players a club can loan out rule. would make it far less viable to talent hoard, which is definitely a factor in rising player prices.

Someone on reddit argued that it will just result in players being sold with buyback clauses. Won't be able to make money of hording talent anymore I guess, but this rule change won't make it go away fully.

Well... buyback clauses are way weaker than loans. Other clubs can simply buy the player from the new club, and even if you have some "equal offer" clause or similar, the player can simply snub you if he now wants to go somewhere else.
And even if you get him, you have to renegotiate a contract with the player every time, which can quickly end messy. (And precontracts a year ahead are illegal already)

Lopetegui will be gone by the winter. This is Rafa Benitez all over again... Mediocrity from top to bottom.

I don't know, a draw at Athletic stadium is not so bad. It is a hard stadium.

Last year at this point Zidane had already lost more points and was controlling less the matches and playing worse.

Yeah i thought Real were playing nicely before the break, game after international break is always bad imo and tricky. We see what they look like in champs league and next game but they were doing well before.

I mean look at Atletico Madrid, their squad imo best i have ever seen them, attack line up of Lemar Costa and Greizman crazy, yet they are doing awful again. Simeone problem or just need time?

I think Simeone has a "problem" because the new players have a playstyle different to the one he traditionally had, so he has to adapt Atleti playstyle now, because the squad is different.

He will need more time, but today match was a lot better than the previous ones, with a lot of attacking chances. They deserved to win today but Eibar Serbian goalkeeper went god mode.

And Rodri, the midfield Atleti got from Villareal is awesome too.

Plus they got my favorite player from Portugal in Martins too, so they are very stacked offensively plus have the same solid back 4 and great goalkeeper they always had.

But yeah guess he needs find a way for them to play fast.

The only thing that saved Zidane's job last winter was his name and the success he had in the past two years.
Lopetegui has neither of those. I'm still not even sure that he knows what he is doing. He had two hard games so far. Sevilla was a massive disaster. Today things didn't look much better.
Real got lucky in the CL and Atleti is losing points, so things will probably not look as bad by the winter. That can save him.

Also wtf happened to Vinicius. He is not on a loan, which means that the coach wants him. Now he is wasting his time in Castilla. In the mean time... Lucas Vazquez replaces Bale in the last minutes when Real needs goals.

Yea travelling to Bilbao and Sociedad have always been tough draws for any visiting team.

This Real still plays much better ball than Zidanes for sure.

A funny note, it is easy to now when someone is from Spain or not in international footbool threads because the shortcuts, haha. In Spain "real" is Real Sociedad, We use "Madrid" for Real Madrid instead and we shortcut to Athletic instead of Bilbao xDD

Wooh Chelsea maintaining the perfect start. As I said when Giroud joined, he is a fantastic striker. Very strong with the ball, and very impressive with linking with teammates. The latter is something people seldom talk about. They only remember his severe lack of pace XD

Again mixed performance from Barkley for me. A little better than the previous games, but I'd like to see him bring the ball forward more. When he came on, he played way too safe and shirked responsibility. Its only later on when he improved and we saw him do body feints to beat players. I think right now his mindset is to look to immediately pass the ball especially when he receives the ball with his back towards goal. I think there were a couple of moments when he could have turned and drove towards goal instead of slowing the attack.

I couldn't believe when Kovacic missed as well, was a brilliant move and he was one on one and just couldn't get it aroudn keeper, brilliant attacking moves in that game though. Shame about our defending though, eurgh.

Even if one were familiar with that thought, it would be pointless to do that in international thread. If I say La Really and Athetlic most people scratching heads..
