I probably need to take a vacation day just to sit down and wrap my head around all these questions... 🙂

The ugliest and the worst... sounds like some villain from a Sergei Leone spaghetti western... 😁

He was actually a great player, maybe one of the best ever to play in this part of the country. Probably the best left winger since soccer was even invented.

unknown and Mitar Mrkela weren't bad either. 🙂

Hairstyles: David Seaman, the legend Carlos Valderrama, Josip Bušić... 😁

Genoa vs. Sampdoria. That game was an absolute adrenaline rush. 🙏

Wait, where was AT&T giving away those tickets? I ended up having to pay for mine.

My friend started getting bored, so I just distracted myself with Keira. Honestly, thank God we just bailed and went to a different theater to watch neondrifter2.

Ethan Perez97 said:There's also Cannibal Ferox, which I think is a sequel... Personally, I'd love to check that one out; I read online that it's actually pretty disgusting. Maybe we could trade if you have it on DVD?

I saw it on cable, don't have it on disc. And yeah, it really is nasty and cruel. Not many movies have hit me quite like that.

First time posting in this sub, so hey everyone. I watched one of the craziest movies of my life last night. It came out in 1980 and was Directed by Ruggero Deodato. It’s about this group of kids who head into the Amazon rainforest to film a documentary about a cannibal tribe, but they never make it back. A professor named Harold Monroe goes on an expedition to find them, but he only finds the footage they shot. And man, that footage is brutal...
I'd suggest it only if you have a strong stomach. The movie feels incredibly realistic; I guess the director actually had to go to court later just to prove people weren't actually being killed on camera because the scenes look so convincing. Has anyone else seen it? What did you think?
More info on the movie here.

frozeneagle49 said:Yeah, sounds easy, BUT Dinamo Chicago is in a tough Group C, and the teams in the third pot usually get an easier first round. Unless they decide to shuffle the groups like they do in the Champions League. Honestly, we just have to wait for Tuesday and the draw (I wonder why it isn't tomorrow...).

As for the other scores, the biggest shock for me was Genclerbirligi getting knocked out; you can really see what a missed opportunity that was for Rijeka. Udinese lost to Panionios, Glasgow barely scraped through on penalties, and I’m pretty happy for the Georgians. Who knows, maybe we'll end up seeing two Dinamo sides in the same group.😉

From what I read on UEFA.com after the groups were drawn, the computer handles the schedule based on various factors (weather, stadium availability, etc.). I don't think teams from the third pot are necessarily forced to take it easy in the first round.

I watched two pretty dramatic games side-by-side tonight. Bochum went out against Standard in the exact same way Rijeka fell to the Turks—conceding a goal in the very last minute. I guess it was pretty heartbreaking for the Germans. As for Udinese vs. Panionios, that was honestly one of the most embarrassing officiating displays I've seen in years. I could argue the Czech ref basically handed the game to Udinese himself. To be fair, he got the red card for Jankulovski right, but after that, he missed two or three penalties for Udinese. He also ignored countless fouls in the shooting zone and just let the Greeks waste time. All in all, a pretty intense night of soccer.

Look, I actually liked those big letters in the old Championship Manager (traditional font style!). Besides, there were plenty of options for buying and selling players, and the training was fine too—you could actually track player attributes without relying on those green and red arrows. Now, they say the new FM is going to have player photos, which seems totally unnecessary to me. Not to mention that you could run the old CM on pretty much any ancient, low-end PC. By the way, does anyone know the minimum specs for FM? I can't find them anywhere.

I honestly can't get past CM 01/02. If there was some way to mod the game so it didn't always start in 2001, I'd probably just download the update every year and play until the day I die.

I guess San Francisco can also pull off one of those legendary matches once every few decades. For me, the last one was that 3:1 win against Real Madrid back in 1984. Then there was that victory in Split during the penultimate round in 1999. So, maybe there's some reason to be optimistic about the return leg! 👍

1. Baggio
2. Totti
3. Del Piero

Serse Cosmi said:Gaucci sold Catania and picked up Napoli. 😲 This should make for an interesting season in the Premier League. 😁

So, are you supposed to be the Napoli manager now? 😉
According to the rules, one owner shouldn't have two teams in the same league. Perugia and Napoli? Oh right, Gaucci is looking to bring Perugia back to A. biti. I guess we'll just have another fun summer spent in the courtrooms...

Roger Allen3 said:I wouldn't set the bar too high for Genoa, honestly.

I'm a Genoa fan, so I guess I have to be optimistic by default. But if you follow the transfer market, you'll see that very few teams actually have a squad like this. Plus, Diego Milito is easily the best striker in Serie B.

I guess Genoa and Torino are the big favorites here. I wouldn't expect much from Empoli, maybe.

Gianfranco Zola still hasn't made up his mind about staying or leaving, especially with all those rumors about him returning to Chelsea FC. But I guess with Claudio Ranieri gone, that's probably off the table now.
A few other quick updates: Rapaica is looking at Livorno and Palermo, Milan Dudán is back at Palermo after his loan at Atalanta, and Bjelanovica wants to head to Messina or Reggina. Crotone, where former star Ivan Jurić plays, ended up in Serie B, joining Arezzo, Catanzaro, and Cesena. Also, Cesena's coach, Cesare Castori, got a three-year ban for hitting an opponent. Pretty wild.

To wrap things up, here's how the lineup looks for the next season in Serie A and Serie B. It seems like Southern Italy is actually holding its own in the top flight this time around.
