Those G14 folks might think they're smart, but they're probably walking straight into a massive trap if they actually pull this off. I mean, think about it. What is it that actually makes those 14 clubs big in the first place?

Oh, I switched up my avatar about three days ago... 🙂

Here’s my take:

I don't give a damn. As long as they lose to Barca, I'm good. 👋

Watched this last night. It’s a great movie about some pretty heavy stuff, and it goes way beyond just being about diamonds.

Does it cause any side effects? Any glitches or weird little bugs? I'm looking to shake up my desktop setup because honestly, I'm bored out of my mind with how it looks right now.

The Bayern Munich front office screwed up with this firing. Belichick is a top-tier coach who squeezed massive results out of a mediocre roster. But you can't do that forever. If those suits think they’re suddenly going to see better results just because they swapped coaches with this current group of players, they've clearly lost their minds.

Richard Wilson4 said:Look, if you don't have anything smart to add, just back off my posts. You're commenting on every second thing I write.

The question is simple. If you can't answer it, shut up. This guy pulled off back-to-back doubles during a stretch where he was the only manager in charge. Get real, you clearly haven't done your homework.

Richard Wilson4 said:Justice is served, thank God. Honestly, probably the worst coach the New England Patriots have seen in years finally got the boot after those absolutely disastrous performances and results...
I’m pretty worried it’s already too late for the Patriots this season 👎

Can you explain how he's the worst manager Bayern Munich has seen in years if he's basically the only one they've had in years?

What do you guys even know? People who were actually there at the vote say everything went fine—some even admitted they might have voted for Platini. Besides, landing the EP doesn't change much; his real focus is always been on club football. The FIFA system is a well-oiled machine, so don't expect any radical shifts. It’s not like Platini can just call all the shots alone; everything goes to a vote.

Great movie. There are plenty of other French comedies just like it—they're all hilarious in their own way.

It’s the fans who are actually out there fighting to keep this sport from turning into some soulless corporate machine—trying to make sure players actually play with heart, for the badge, for the city, and for the people, instead of just chasing a paycheck. But then you’ve got these suits who treat football like nothing more than a massive money-making scheme... they’re basically at war with the fans because we're the ones standing in the way of them lining their pockets and completely gutting the game.
It pisses me off the most when they slap a club with a stadium ban and force them to play in front of an empty house... I mean, what's even the point then? Is the game played just for the guys on the pitch? Or are the players there for the fans? Honestly, the whole thing is just going down the drain...
Where are the days of glory and pride? Where did they go?

What are you even talking about? Soccer is a business today, plain and simple. Just like any other industry. The board and the players are employees whose goal is to earn a living. A player's job is to play the game, get better, and attract viewers and sponsors. The board's job is to manage the finances and build the roster. Players aren't necessarily from the same city as the club, and the money doesn't just come from one local area either. There is zero difference between the film industry and the sports industry now. You pour big money in to get even more back, and the goal is to make a product that people actually want to consume. Soccer isn't played for the fans; it never was and it never will be. Players train, travel, and play matches every single day to collect huge paychecks. They play in front of ten people or ten thousand; it makes no difference to them. As long as they play fair and don't cheat, I'm fine with it. That's the whole point. Do you think Janica is skiing slalom for you? Or Edward scoring goals for you? Aside from some polite "thanks for the support" nonsense, there's nothing connecting them unless you're family or a friend. Having this idea that you HAVE to go watch LA Galaxy or Philadelphia Eagles every week just to count your attendance and brag about it... I don't know, I'm not impressed and I don't care. I watch what I want, when I want. I see people who think there's only one "right" way to be a fan, but logic says otherwise. And once you add flares, thrown chairs, political slogans, and all that other garbage, I seriously don't see how that has anything to do with an Edward and Luka Modrić one-two pass or
Loser's defense. Maybe it mattered back when everyone at LA Galaxy was from Washington, D.C., playing like semi-pros before TV deals and sponsors existed, but that's not the reality today. You play on the field, you win the game, and then suddenly you're barred from advancing because twenty idiots got into a brawl that had nothing to do with what happened on the pitch. Everyone except the fans wants to destroy soccer? That's some terrible logic if those same people rely on the sport to survive. These theories are fascinating, though I doubt even the people making them understand them. 🤣

coppercobra2 said:If you actually cleared out that 1% of idiots you're talking about, the stadium would be empty. When the LA Galaxy were stuck playing in the relegation zone, I saw plenty of regular families who are usually too terrified to show up because of the hooligans. And that wasn't even when they were playing the Boston Red Sox.

Even when the LA Galaxy are top of the table, these so-called "fans" always find an excuse to skip the game:
1. They say the flags on sticks are blocking their view.
2. The wind is blowing and it might mess up their hair.
3. It’s raining or snowing.
4. They have to take their wife to the theater, where they usually just nap through half the play because it’s "boring."
5. The sun is hitting them in the face.
6. Holding up a piece of paper for a card stunt is apparently too much physical and mental labor.

But, once the New York Yankees or Chicago come to town, suddenly they’ve gotta be at the stadium decked out in six different scarves and wearing a beer cap, making paper airplanes out of the card stunt sheets because it’s "cool." Then, the second the LA Galaxy blow by three goals, these same fans bail thirty minutes before the whistle and disappear for a year for one of those reasons listed above.

To draw a parallel to your "screw the 1% of morons" comment:

1. Screw that 1% of morons who only listen to pop country, because thanks to them, there’s nowhere left in Washington, D.C. to hear classic rock (maybe two clubs left).

2. Screw that 1% of idiots behind the wheel who think street racing on city streets is safe; I wonder what happens when a normal driver gets wrecked because of them.

3. Screw that 1% of dog owners who don't pick up after their puppy's crap.

4. Screw that 1% of idiot pedestrians who think it's a great idea to sprint across a three-lane road where the speed limit is 44 miles/h.

The topic here is the Philadelphia Eagles and global football, not LA Galaxy. And if you haven't noticed—and I'm saying this to everyone else too—nobody actually supports the ultras except themselves. Players, coaches, owners, TV networks, security, and all the actual fans are against those ultra groups. That whole "there is no football without us" nonsense is just people patting themselves on the back while knowing full well they're about to get steamrolled. You exist for yourselves. You don't have anything to do with football anymore. I'm not just talking about our local groups, either; I mean ultras in general. You get kicked out of the stadiums, leaving you with nothing but the streets, but it doesn't matter because football isn't played in the streets. If it were different, you'd be the ones paying all those massive fines you rack up for the clubs. Look at what the Philadelphia Eagles got from their own crowd. They got exactly the kind of support that gets a team knocked out of a tournament despite performing well on the pitch.

Screw the stands filled with 1% idiots.

Let them go complain to those idiots in the stands who actually gave it to them.

Anonymous said:Man, where’s the logic in disqualifying a club after the decision has already been made and an appeal has been filed?

That’s exactly why. They’re appealing a penalty that isn't just overkill—it's a joke. They need to be slapped down like this because of that condescending attitude. Give them a reality check so they can try appealing next time after they've actually been shown some mercy.

Whatever. They should've been banned for a few years anyway.

Rachel Martinez11 said:Look, buddy, I wouldn't understand a word if I sat through a lecture on quantum physics either, but that doesn't mean I'd call the professor a genius. Honestly, I’d probably just shut up and listen. Besides, this thread is about intelligence, not how deep vegetarians think they are.

I actually assumed vegetarians were smarter since they supposedly grasp quantum physics. 🙄

You should probably just keep your mouth shut. You'd say a lot less nonsense that way.

Rachel Martinez11 said:I get where you're coming from. It's the same thing that keeps me up at night. Personally, I'm convinced we can actually make this happen. The problem is, just like any massive shift in how society works, it requires huge capital and actual political willpower—meaning convincing the majority of people to change their minds. But think about the potential if we just took all that money currently being poured into Big Meat and redirected it toward lab-grown or plant-based research. The meat industry is drowning in government subsidies, and the political establishment is going to fight tooth and nail to ensure nothing ever replaces them.

He jumped into a normal conversation and then just started rambling like a lunatic. Not even a single one of these vegetarians is sane. 🙂

Merry Christmas, everyone
