Football/Soccer thread II

Yeah, I noticed that jesus he was phat already then.

Also a good example of the gung ho attacking era of Real. Terrible defending in the first Man Utd goal and then Helguera's rediculous own goal, and the last would've been an own goal too.

Another third season meltdown.

NY Yankees players' comparisons in football


Aaron Judge: Tall imposing striker who moves and dribbles really well for someone his size. Can totally track back and defend as well, if needed. Admittedly has a lot of embarrassing misses, but scores absolute bangers that no goalkeeper can save. Not Messi/Ronaldo level, but easily on the level right below that. Best comparison is totally Ibrahimovic, except if Ibrahimovic was really humble and mature

Giancarlo Stanton: Same as above

Brett Gardner: Plucky midfielder who only played for one club his entire life. Doesn't do anything flashy, and will never be a Ballon D'Or contender, but is very valuable for the club. Does a lot of the dirty work in the midfield that doesn't show up in the statistics. Great defender. Doesn't score many goals, but when he does, they're usually clutch last-minute game winners. Best comparison would be Michael Carrick? 

Gary Sanchez: CB who gets criticized for being kinda lazy a lot of the time. That said he is actually a decent defender when he tries. Also scores tons of goals from a position where goals are not expected from. Scores a lot especially against the rivals

Greg Bird: The next can't-miss striker from Brazil who suffered tons of injuries and ended up losing his spot in the starting XI. Famous for scoring a huge goal in a Champions League match, but hasn't done much aside from that

Luke Voit: Former bricklayer who came on as a sub one game, scored a huge goal, and then started scoring left and right. I'm thinking Charlie Austin

Didi Gregorius: Midfielder who was horrible the first year at the club and only stuck around cause the club had no better options. But then worked hard and actually became a really good player with time. All-around midfielder who can do everything

Miguel Andujar: Young wingback who is amazing going forward, but completely terrible on the defensive side. Provides tons of goals and assists, but looks completely clueless when it comes to defending the flanks. Lots of comparisons, I'd say best one is Joao Cancelo

Gleyber Torres: Exciting young midfielder from Latin America. Excellent at dribbling and passing, scores a decent amount of goals, but occasionally makes mistakes on the defense

Neil Walker: Midfielder who scored a couple of clutch goals, but has done completely nothing aside from that

Bournemouth are 6th, europa league champions next year confirmed.

Estonia - Finland 0-1 FT
Pukki 90+1

Possesion 32-68
Attempts 6-22

lol  There are no heat waves on our latitudes in October. Even if the new daily warmth records are made they still do not count as "heat waves". Heat wave is something above 30c. Last 30c degrees in Estonia have been recorded in September and in Sweden in August (yeah, yeah, no matter the latter is having ca 10x larger territory).
But you should be glad as you got such a good summer and well warm days in October as well in this very year of 2018 as the epicentre of warmth in this year has been clearly in western side of Europe and not in eastern side. The places in Russia on the same latitude got even less warm days in this year than me. This is certainly not typical as I think they normally should got more than me.  But yeah, this year is only this year so it is too early for my "friends" like you to make far reaching conclusions. Last time I was in sweden in 2010 I was on Arlanda airport near Uppsala I remember I saw the landscape around it was more boreal than around Tallinn and anywhere  in Estonia. It was really weird as according to your swedish Baba  Uppsala is almost subtropical with palms.   

Finland - Greece 2-0 FT
Soiri 46'
Kamara 89'


That was that group then.

The Welsh Fernando Torres does it again. Keeper should have done better tbf.

Because not all goalkeepers are that shit
