Has Ozil been training Ceballos? Haven't seen him yet, appears to have gone missing. EDIT 3-0, worryingly, Salah is better with VAR and he has to stay on his feet.
60 minutes and he was knackered. However, they looked more dangerous with Allboomerang, Lazygazette and Pepe on the field.
Very pedestrian at Bournemouth.I've had more excitement at an under 11 game. This is the PL or are Bournemouth and Watford heading down?
I was reading how Bury and Bolton,a couple of very old clubs,could go out of business.....and in the USA, a new club,Cincinatti were playing Columbus in an Ohio local derby. This is Cincin';s first season...….and now there will be at least two more teams starting in the near future.....St Louis and Louisville. Amazing.Who would have thought? I remember about 1950,USA beat England 1-0,I think in the World Cup. I believe America were disinterested in the game after that They thought if they could beat the giants of England,why bother.Certainly changed their minds now.Maybe the USA ladies World Cup teams have had something to do with it!!!!?
I never could get myself interested in in MLS. It's a combination of a few past-it stars and a bunch of championship/league one players. I think it's the aging stars that make it a bit depressing. PIttsburgh has a team in a league called the USL Championship. I hadn't heard of it either until a minute ago. Anyway, I watched a bit of one of their games and like it better than the MLS games I've watched. One oddity is that they have much better kits than the vast majority of teams in any sport. They're almost all white, with splashes of black and pale yellow. It's as if someone hired a decent designer and told them the team had to look sharp.
In other words, it's what the Premier League was in the mid-90s I'm surprised MLS isn't more popular in Middlesbrough for this reason...
They tried that in the seventies. Only got washed out players looking for a last pay check. Pele, Best, Marsh, Harry Redknapp....all the greats.
