It's weird as hell that less than a decade ago blowing 35m quid on Andy Carroll was a massive blunder when now that'll buy you about 60% of a Pulisic (who I love but who regressed hard this past year and wasn't even a regular in Dortmunds starting XI at the time of transfer).

Pulisic regressed a little, bit mostly he was replaced by an insane Sancho. Doesn’t matter how good you are if your position is filled by someone better.

I owe Joel Matip some sort of apology. I've called him a dumb dog-poo poo defender for months, but, against Barcelona, he owned the space around him. Great job, Joel.

p.s. I hope I'm on record thinking Divock Origi was always good.

Juve is the loving worst. They're a trashbag club in a mediocre league who are protecting their star rapist from being served legal papers, and should have been disbanded for calciopoli. And part of it is because Italian soccer is a complete loving mess, unlike pretty much every other major league. They NEED something like the super league to happen or else their fraud is eventually going to come due and they'll collapse under the weight of their horrific underlying financial obligations.

Burn Juventus to the ground, and then salt the gently caress out of it.

I am intrigued by the ideal that somewhere there exists something even more of a mess than the EPL/EFL/FA triptych.

And I'd loosely assumed Spanish soccer was a mess too?

Royalty is a continuous shitposting motion.
Spanish football is a different sort of mess, where the gap between the have nots, haves, and Barca/Real is immense and the way money distributed through the league reinforces that. Plus poo poo like saying in 2014 that Eibar should be relegated to the third division despite earning promotion to La Liga because they didn't have enough of the bullshit fake "capital" that the Spanish teams use to pretend that they're fiscally sound.

Italy though, is the only one I can think of that has rejiggered its lower professional leagues like 2-3 times in the past decade because all the teams keep going bankrupt due to horrible financial management AND had a massive, massive match fixing scandal involving its less than 15 years ago.

e: I'm definitely not an expert, so feel free to tell me to gently caress off if I'm getting major facts wrong or forgetting something huge.

Nah, I was just reading an article about the number of football league clubs going to the wall and marvelling that something else could be worse.

We've not had calciopoli here though, (AFAIK) so that's a blessing.
