    Yeah lol, Muslera used to be one of my fav goalkeepers when he was playing for Lazio and seeing him do so many mistakes it hurts. Basically 3 of the goals that Galata received were because of him.

    Yup, I am. Just watched South Korea - Romania on one monitor and Australia - Spain on the 2nd one.

    I have a bet of 150e on Spain to win gold medal at football + Brazil to win gold medal at volleyball(M) - 1550euro for the win.

    Watching back some highlights of games from the 2018/2019 UCL campaign and boy that season was one of the craziest seasons in UCL history ever.

    I will never forget how NUTS Ajax vs Spurs (2-3) was. Watching that match as a pure football fan, I'm glad I did not miss any minute of it. The arabic commentator lost his mind. One of the best football matches I have ever watched.
    @Michael Myers I know it hurt you, but Ajax were one of the reason that made that UCL campaign so special.

    Nice game, too bad at half time I went to sleep. Thinking "meh Ajax has this in the bag and boy the regrets kicked in when I saw the final result in the morning"

    Still for me this remains the greatest game in champions league that I have ever watched.



    •Also Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 against Ac Milan in the quarter finals in 2003 after Milan won in the first leg 4-1.
    •Obviously the game that most of the people have as their number one in the history of UCL Milan 3-3 Liverpool in the final
    •I remember also a crazy game that I can not forget Deportivo Alaves 4-4 against Liverpool it was the UEFA Cup Final with Liverpool winning at penalties. A Romanian, Cosmin Contra, played for Alaves and I watched it because of him.

    And for me the best football game I have ever watched in my entire life it shockingly ended 0-0, it was Italy - Netherlands in the semifinals of EURO 2020. I sometimes re-watch it and I'm still surprised to this day what a great game that was. Italy played in 10 man after Zambrotta got eliminated early and Frank de Boer and Kluivert both misses penalties during regular time and in the end Italy won at penalties with 3-1.

    That was the game that made me love Toldo, that made me fall in love with Italy as a football team and that made me love goalkeepers and defenders more then anything.

    In terms of knockout stage games, the 2018/2019 UCL campaign/season was the best I have ever witnessed, as a football fan.
    In terms of UCL final, yea that Istanbul final in 2005 is probably the best I have watched as a football fan. I was 9 years old.

    My personal favorite UCL final, since I'm a Madridista, is of course Real Madrid 4 - 1 Juventus. We dominated that final and that was one of Juventus best teams ever in their history. What a beautiful night that was for all Madridistas around the world.

    If things go this way, Mbappe to Madrid.

    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.

    Defo not city especially since they signed with Jack and presented him with #10. I think Messi to PSG is going to be a done deal in the coming days and Mbappe to Madrid. + I'm sure Messi has all the reasons to choose PSG over City since his friends are there/Fellow Argentinians/people who speak Spanish.

    I think football is in a bad way.
    The PL & PSG just have way too much dominance now.

    There are just taking all the best players especially PSG,City,Chelsea & Man Utd.

    La Liga looks in awful shape. Inter looks like are losing Lukaku & lost Hakimi. Rest of Serie A very little deals.
    Bayern no money & Dortmund lost Sancho & will lose Haaland next summer
