If Messi has scored that social media would be in absolute meltdown. In fairness SM is in a meltdown but not because of that goal

Am I?

In all seriousness that's an insane amount of money that each of the 4 have earned.

no wonder the elite want this cartel to be closed even further.

Just realised you meant social media, I legit thought you meant me.

Big cause of inequality in the game. And why clubs are willing to stretch resources to join the club/stay in it.

I remember back when I started posting on BF Leeds got £18m for reaching the semis. They were relying on that money to make a small profit. So as soon as they stopped qualifying their whole financial strategy was blown.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I can see Spurs being the team of destiny and winning from some last minute penalty or free kick.

What a crazy second semi final. Insane stuff.

Congrats to Spurs and all the Spurs lads on here.

Now I'm nervy for the final. I reckon we would have done Ajax easily but Spurs are a different prospect altogether.

 

[RPCB]

You sure? They always show Cup finals.

Yeah, pretty sure. I even Googled it and couldn’t finf anything about SBS having the final at all.

You asked me before the Ajax semi final game whether it was the biggest game in our history. It was debatable, but there’s no doubt this is now the biggest game in our history. I think it will be a classic. Three weeks away so I’m trying to put it on ice but it’s already dominating my thoughts!

I have a question. In the past 24 hours there were calls and support for all english team euro finals. Curious am I. Why isnt there rejoice or wasnt there rejoice in previous years wishing for an all spanish or italian final(s)?

Answers pretty obvious isn't it?

Because we're mostly Anglophiles in here, would be my guess.

Because it is on TV the most?

Our cultural heritage is British.....Notice how most posters in here have an EPL side nominated in their 'other teams followed' column.

English soccer has been on Oz telly for decades, as that's all we got on the ABC, via the BBC, every Sunday night in the 70's & 80's.

 

[jd2010]

I'm not an anglo but support english sides because that's always been shown more here

 

[jd2010]

If there's one local Harry I want us rushing back for the final it's Winks not Kane

You mean you don't want Wanyama or Dier to partner Sissoko in midfield?

I have a theory that english team names are easier to say and therefore easier to follow and declare support for. Amount of times ive heard newsreaders pronounce Borussia incorrectly is astounding.

Valid reason. I do recall in the 90s Serie A was shown just as much if not more than Div 1.

 

[Forward Press]

The reality is that in both the countries where I've lived the English Premier League has always been by far more prominent than all other leagues put together. I suspect this is the case in most of the world except for Europe and perhaps South America. I would struggle to name a Perth Glory XI but would have no problem reeling off Man Utd players.

I remember when SBS had in-depth coverage of Serie A but for young me it was just so boring compared to the fast pace of the EPL. The lack of accommodation and familiarity for English speakers also didn't help.

 

[jd2010]

Yeah it wasn't a great sunday show compared to the monday night EPL one.

 

[SM]

Because most people on this forum supports a team in the EPL not the other European leagues.

Your theory would be incorrect, your first theory was closer to the truth.

Not sure if this has been posted before on the board, but Wolves have beaten all four of the European finalists this season.

They did beat us. But our FA cup back 5 had Mignolet, Moreno, Fabinho, Hoever and Camacho. We threw that game.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

I know we'd have to be the first side winless after 3 matches to progress to the final but has two sides finishing 2nd in their group ever made the final before?
Especially given both sides only beat out 3rd by one of the tiebreaker scenarios too.
