It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

Off to Seville for the second round in succession. Three Spanish teams in a row. I imagine Sevilla will be a much sterner test than Betis, especially as they’ve knocked us out in Europe twice in the last 5 years…

Do you guys have the MLS season pass? I’m kinda going overboard watching all of the content that they’re putting out but I’m enjoying it.

As far as team loyalties, I’m trying to support DC United since my apartment is walking distance from their stadium (and tickets are cheap when your team currently holds the Wooden Spoon). I also feel some loyalty to the Portland Timbers since I still consider Portland to be “home”.

From what I’ve seen from clips and recaps and things, my other favorite teams are Atlanta United FC and LAFC. Atlanta probably has more players that I like than any other team. They’re so fun to watch and they seem to have a lot of fun. LAFC also seems like a good team to jump on the bandwagon for as they don’t seem to be falling off at all after their winning season last year. Denis Bouanga might be my favorite player to watch in the whole league. At this point, I’m trying to watch the 7 minute recaps of every league game and then and full replays of all of the DC, Portland, LA FC, and Atlanta games - we’ll see how long I can keep that up.

But yeah, other than that, I really like Austin, Dallas, Cincinnati. Miami seems promising, too - lots of great players, great coach and rumors that Messi might be convinced to join them. The only teams that I actively dislike so far are the New York Red Bulls, Houston Dynamo FC, Minnesota United, and Nashville SC.

Favorite players would be: Denis Bouanga, Thiago Almada, Federico Bernardeschi, Klauss, the Roldan brothers in Seattle, and Jesús Ferreira. For DC United, I like Andy Najar and Victor Pálsson. For the Timbers, I haven’t really connected with anyone yet - when I went to a game years ago, I remember liking Sebastian Blanco. Nathan Fogaça was fun to watch in the opener. The Charás might end up growing on me.

I have some very impolite things to say about this post, but I’ll refrain. Mostly about the second paragraph.

You should look into season tickets at DC if you live that close. You’d be surprised how affordable that are.

Honestly. I think the endless tinkering with rules and the mental implementation of VAR has utterly fucked everything. No League seems happy with their refereeing right now and from what I’ve seen in European competition the referees from all countries are a bit wank and/or confused.
