2021/22 Soccer Thread: It's Euro 2020 until it becomes 2021

That's definitely not offside on the rebound. Would have to be from the first entry pass. Why let it play that long? WTF?

Liverpool's Keystone Cops impression was so good that the side ref has awarded them a get-out-of-concession free card.

The f*cking inevitability of Benzema.

Couldn’t tell if that offside or not to be honest. Umpires call. Sorry, not cricket, Ref’s call.

It's gotten so bad for Russia that now they're clubbing people over the head with children!

Apparently the Madrid goal was ruled out because the ball deflected off Fabinho, and therefore doesn’t count. I’m not making this up by the way, that’s the explanation that has been given.

Uh-huh.

That got an undeserved laugh from me. Well done!

Their losses in materiel have forced them to adapt in sinister ways.

I understand that as the incident was in Paris Kyllian M’bappe was consulted on it as part of his new contract (yes I stole that from Twitter but it amused me)

No, no, you're right to swipe, that's a winner.

What was TAA doing there?

Blech.

Courtois MotM thus far, eh?

I’d say. The art of shooting from outside the box also seems to be missing

Bleh, i'm turning this off. I quite dislike Madrid, so I don't want to see them win.

f*cking Courtois.

Deffo MotM.

Oh man, just saw the match stats. MotM without a doubt.

I’m only really saying that because he’s been exceptional. Definitely the difference tonight.

Real sure knows how to win this cup.

Courtois was unbeatable there.

5 in 9 years, in any era of football, is insane.

They're 14-17 in finals.

If you don’t score you can’t win. Simple really. Courtois exceptional tonight and I though Carvajal was pretty good too. I think I might have already said that but I’m quite drunk.

The crap outside the stadium must not be forgotten either, that really didn’t help (understatement) but what you do. Real better where it mattered tonight and I think deserved the win in the end. Liverpool have played too many games.

However, their creative Marketing/advertising group are on a complete different level. This is just exceptional:

This is fitting because when Real win it's not that bad because.... No one is actually a Real fan.

Well, whatever we call the next thread, it's got to reference the upcoming moral quandary that is the 2022 World Cup.

Well, at least it's not France.

Silvio Berlusconi is a Serie A owner again after his Monza club won the Serie B playoff on Sunday to reach the top division. Monza beat Pisa 4-3 in extra time for a 6-4 aggregate victory, the first time Monza, located near Milan, have reached the top flight in their 110-year history.

Can never keep a good, massively corrupt pervert down.
