I could probably wait for the official confirmation, but why do that when I can link an 8 second video showing you a hallway and some pillars.

I'd forgotten all about English commentators.

"No."




Are any of these English teams in the room with us right now?

They're salty but they have a point. Until they change the format of the champions league teams like Lyon are going to play maybe a dozen meaningful games a year tops. It's even less than that for Barcelona as they have no meaningful domestic competition.

The level of squad depth Chelsea needs is significantly higher than Lyon because they're playing a lot more games each year that they can't rest key players for.

But it's not Lyon's fault that they play in a league where there aren't as many clubs capable of challenging for a top spot.

Given that the Women's Champions League is similar in format to the men's - Group Stage, then Knockout Stage - how would it need to be changed to nerf clubs like Lyon and Barcelona?

Yeah I don't think even English commentators blame Lyon, they're just frustrated when an English team is going through a bunch of injuries like Chelsea is at the moment.

I think eventually the Champions League group stage will expand to a bunch more games similar to the upcoming changes to the men's comp which will make it harder for everyone and reduce the gap.

man i didn't realise how close the WSL was this season.

hopefully spurs can just about hang on there, and we can get a decent replacement for Skinner in the summer, but as i was making this post everton scored a 93rd minute winner against us lol

It's possible that both Leicester City clubs could get relegated in the same season, who has the stats on whether that's happened before

Kind of a dreadful start for the USWNT against Ireland. I don't really doubt that they'll win the game, but there's not a lot to write home about here yet.

poo poo, did Mal hurt her neck in that collision? She's not really moving; that looked like an American football injury. :ohdear:

edit: oh thank god she's up. I've been traumatized by neck poo poo ever since the Packers lost Nick Collins and Jermichael Finley in rapid succession to career-enders.
