So basically it's because Round 3 has now been spread over 2 weeks which doesn't help. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5526749/2024/05/29/carabao-cup-seeding-champions-league/ Another problem has been created which wasn't there. Only going to impact a few teams - just draw them together or don't include them at all! I presume the idea is they will get a nice easy home tie and don't have to risk anyone.
Scotland's behind closed doors Women's Euro 2025 qualifier against Israel has been delayed due to a protester chaining themselves to a goalpost.
It seems that Everton are in a bit of a mess with their proposed takeover falling through. The state of English football is fast becoming a vehicle of the rich who want a plaything, or the asset strippers who see the potential to make money. I had a look at how many of the English clubs have English owners. Not many until you get to the lower leagues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_owners_of_English_football_clubs
Yes sounds like 777 are a mess themselves and should never have been given the chance to take over. 200 million needs to re-paid too.
TF1 the free to air channel in France, along with Canal, a pay to view channel, are both showing the European Cup Final. Are there any UK channels carrying this where you do not have to pay to get a pass? When you see the colours, you know who you have to support.
Usually TNT have it on YouTube but not tonight . Some good chances already . EDIT: Madrid going to win again?
Thls Dortmund display has been almost Watford like . Must be the kit . Poor finishing Dodgy defending from a corner then an individual error for the 2nd goal And an offside goal “scored “
A much better performance from the England Ladies tonight in France. 2-0 up at half-time, and the French team have not troubled our keeper greatly.
Scrapped this idea but administration for ICT? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cqqqez5y1vlo
Shame for the city really - but the people haven't really supported them too well - some ropey crowd stats.
Shame, it ruins the best moments in games. On another note. Mexico got thumped in a friendly yesterday: Think there were a few changes, as it is one of three games before the Copa America, Brazil next!! Oh, and disgustingly, the Stadium played Mexican music DURING the game, which amusingly when it started for the first time Uruguay scored their second goal during the song!! ahahahahah

Now they say it’s not the VAR they don’t like but the decisions made by human beings . Well that has been the same since football started . If they thought VAR was going to bring perfection and solve all officiating issues more fool them .
