1. Originally posted by iTim:Di Maria, Blind, and Rojo were excellent against QPR. Blind the player I was looking forward to the most. Hopefully they can perform against bigger sides in a similar manner. Still a long way to go though.

    I wonder if Blind will reach this leven when facing some real tough opponents. I hope he does great, miss him at Ajax.

    Yesterday the kick-off of the CL season for Ajax, 1-1 against PSG. Not a bad result, however PSG wasn't going to the max.
  2. I am really looking forward to Euro 2020. I think it will be amazing. 4 matches in Holland, we can consider ourselves lucky
  3. The semi-finals and final at Wembley, UEFA really do love it there

  4. I don't get why both semi's would be in London as well. Sounds a bit unfair to do that as one "package". The stadium is great but a semi final in Munchen and one in Madrid and then the final in London for instance would also be great and a bit more diverse.
  5. Also great to see that Brandao has received a six-month ban for his headbutt on Thiago Motta. Completely unacceptable behaviour on the field, but waiting in the tunnel to do it is disgusting.

    At least it prevents any of the semi-finalists having a home advantage. Perhaps they wanted to base all four teams in one city with access to local training facilities to avoid any travel for them ahead of the final.

    Yeah I get that, although when you would've organised the Euro in let's say Russia or Norway, the distances could be just as big as between London and Munich. Ah well.
  8. Could also be a capacity thing, Wembley holds many more than the Allianz. Need to fit all of those executives and sponsors in.

    Yeah true. And I'm sure the London airports have much more capacity for private jets than others.

  11. Originally posted by AMLBONO:Season definitely started in Sunday for Manchester United fans. Was a rocky start. Happy to see for now that Van Gall has ditched the 3-5-1 formation. Not enough quality in the squad to play with only 3 defenders in the back. They are going to score a fair amount of goals with the fire power up front but are they going to concede too many?


    You saw the future ...
