Maybe just don't touch your opponent's head. Instead of crying afterwards.

I don't think players being cunts and pretending that being touched on the head is sooo painful should really ever be at the fault of the player touching their head, even if it's predictable that there might be a response.

yeah i think the rules have gotten a bit too soft nowadays.
we need to remember that in the end, its a sport played by men who are passionate about the game and about winning. theres going to be some "fire" and shows of passion and sometimes it shows physically. obviously roy keane style kicks arent gonna be allowed but a minor clash of personalities isnt the end of the world.

football is turning too g rated tbh. why have full grown adults play like theyre kids?

Because thats how adults grow up nowadays

We live in a golden age of humanity. Less wars, less hunger, booming economies. If the biggest worry growing up is what kind of mobile phone you will buy you cant become "hard". Many many children, teens get everything served on a silver platter. They cant build a hard character.

pretending to be injured when not injured has very little to do with softness. If anything you see it more from kids with harsh upbringings (which makes sense - because that makes you more likely to develop a 'win at all costs'-mentality').

I hate that football has gone soft but Ronaldo is a pioneer of playacting so he deserves whatever he gets.

I agree. He hit so many players all these years with referee impunity when he was in Real Madrid.

Maybe he cries because he realised that referees can send him off now that he is not in Real Madrid xD

It has nothing to do with softness. What matter is whether players benefit or not. As long as they benefit of playacting and diving they'll continue doing it. When players are injured for real they often try to stay in as long as they can because they want to keep playing.

For now all Real Madrid matches I've seen this season, they play a lot better and they control more the game than with Zidane. They won't have the same CL success, but they play better.

And Navas over Courtois in CL surprised me.

so in the past 3 seasons of europa league (13 games total), rosenborg is 1-6 in goals coming in the 80th minute or later, the one goal we scored was when we were down 0-3. the 6 goals against have come in 6 different matches, turning 3 victories into draws, and 3 draws into losses.

pretty brutal. obviously shows lack of experience/ stamina, so it's not like it's 'undeserved', but would be fun to be on the other end of it soon. :D

basically they had to convince uefa that the ownership structure of both teams was different enough that they were separate entities.

I'm sorry. It's Rasenballsport Leipzig ! Completely different and not releated to Red Bull, so everything is fine. + Show Spoiler +
And also they have a lot of money and UEFA likes money.

How is Luka Jovic playing? Selling him for 13M just one more of the bad decisions Benfica did in the last few years.

This afternoon, Inter Miami CF added to its front office personnel. Jurgen Mainka was announced as the Chief Business Officer for the team.Mainka comes to Inter after nearly six years with CONCACAF, the final three as Deputy General Secretary and Chief Commercial Officer. His last time spent with a Major League Soccer team came nearly six years ago, when he served as Vice President of Communications and Community Relations for the New York Red Bulls.

Mainka will oversee team and stadium business and manage all non-soccer operations aspects of the club, which includes administration, marketing, communications, sponsorship, ticket sales and stadium operations, according to an Inter Miami release on the news.

“Inter Miami’s ownership group is excited to work with Jurgen in building the business side of our club,” co-owner Jorge Mas said in a team statement. “Jurgen brings with him expertise in sponsor relationships and the enthusiasm needed to deliver a great fan experience that will benefit our community.”

“It is an honor to be able to contribute to this exciting soccer project in one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities in the world,” Mainka, a native of Mexico, said in the statement. “I’m looking forward to working with Jorge and the ownership group as we build a global franchise that represents Miami, MLS and its fans both in the USA and abroad, making our community proud on and off the field.”

Mainka appeared before the City of Miami commission in July to support Miami Freedom Park, the proposed location of Inter’s new stadium in the Grapeland community of the City of Miami.
