    Just to clear something up about Messi playing for free - He shouldn’t have to.
    Barca’s wage to revenue ratio is currently at around 115%. Even without Messi’s wages, it’s still 95%.
    La Liga’s salary cap is set at 70%.
    So even if Messi played for free, Barca couldn’t register him.

    Surely PSG…and I hope so too. If he goes to City that’s the league wrapped up before it’s started (basically is anyway). And that’ll stop PSG going for Pogba too. This could shake up the whole transfer market.

    Most interesting game from yesterday's Champions League 2nd round of qualifiers PSV 5-1 Galatasaray. Mario Gotze scored twice

    No way Pogba goal is better then this. Watch from behind the goal. This is incredbile. Pogba goal was nice, but that's a standard great goal that you see every now and then. Nothing out of the ordinary.

    What Schick did, you don't see that every day. Without stopping the ball at all, first touch. Pogba goal can't even be in the same sentence with Schick's goal let alone miles ahead.

    Yah I know, I just hoped that atleast the game would be decided after 90 min. Having to sit through overtime and penalties is just very anticlimactic

    90% of the finals in football are like that, especially when both teams are at the same level. They don't take many risks cause is the most important game and they play very cautious.

    At least the final was better then the last one, France - Portugal lol.

    Why so sensitive? Is just football banter my man, nothing personal. I didn't insult any of you.

    Apparently there are threats to Southgate and racist threats to the 3 black players who missed their penalties...

    This final was fun. England had a really good start and played by far their best game of the tournament. After a while Italy took over, but I don't think they played their best match.

    When England started that anti-football, w like 20% possession it was boring, after the 1-1 it got a little more fun again.

    Penalties were pretty bad overall. The worst player had the best penalty lmao (mcguire). Its really dumb to bring a player like a minute before they have to take it though so no surprised.

    Based on the whole tournament, Italy is the right winner imo, but England did a great job!

    I really hope those drunk ape's aren't gonna cause too much trouble tonight....

    Poor lady, but she'll probably see England win again in her lifetime. She'll outlive all of us, so... next time!


    But f---, I'm disappointed...
