Mbappe has not been great for Madrid, and as stated earlier Lewandowski is a legend. Underrated striker. Dude doesn’t get the type of hype he should get.

I’ve been monitoring Leeds even closer now that I know you are a Leeds fan Rasta.

Still early but it’s looking promising for Leeds UTD this year. Mildly concerning that Sheffield UTD and Burnley are knocking at the door, both clubs looking to get back to the premier league.

Speaking of fairytale teams. How about Nottingham Forest and Chris Wood? 2nd year into promotion after being in the championship for quite some time and after 10 matches find themselves at #3 on the table behind M.City and Liverpool. Thing is, it might not entirely be a “take a picture Nottingham fans” kind of moment, because they have some fairly quality draws and wins so far, such as their win over Liverpool, draws with Chelsea and Brighton, and now a 3-0 win over West Ham in a match which they were already up 1-0 and looking good before West Ham went down a man.

I have a soft spot for Forest since the days of the GREATEST ENGLISH MANAGER EVER, Ol' Big 'Ead Brian Clough. I would love for them to duplicate Leicester's legendary feat, but it's legendary for a reason.
 
I can’t believe the England national team are so chronically disappointing. You’d think they would be good on paper in like 95% of their matches yet somehow they always find a way to underperform.

It’s actually insane that Ireland have held them without a shot on target in 50 minutes when England is starting Kane out front, followed by Bellingham and Anthony Gordon.

As I’m typing this England gets a Penalty (which Kane scored), which might actually be the difference in this one.

I don’t think you can be content about the result… You’ve got to expect better if you want to win tough games in the future.
 
You follow the goings on during the INTL. break Rasta?

Haaland has been insane for Norway internationally this year. Not really surprising.

Dude very well may retire as the most prolific goalscorer in world history. He’s doing it in all competitions… Really impressive. Forget the club he plays for… Dude just gets goals.
 
And now it’s England 3-0 Ireland

Which I feel like proves my point.
 
Liverpool definitely looking like the favorites in the EPL this year.

And in the championship Leeds is looking good but definitely not out of the water for promotion.

Sucks to be a Southampton fan. -25 goal difference, can’t compete with anybody they play. Basically guaranteed relegation.

I was surprised by Inter Miami getting bounced early.

The top four teams in the Championship are neck-and-neck. Sheffield United, Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland. The bottom of the Premier League is going to get a Northern flavor next season. Of them all, I think Leeds has the highest ceiling (and current best goal difference) but is probably also the most inconsistent. Which is not good for my blood pressure.

The big story in the Premier League has to be the complete and utter collapse of Man City. What the fuck happened to Pep Guardiola?
 
Was it the Manchester City vs Real Madrid game the other day that had the crazy ending!!???
 
@Rastapopoulos
As a Leeds fan, do you support Wales?
Darlow, Rodon, James. Outside Leeds you’ve also got players like Brennan Johnson for
Wales.

James has a goal in this European World Cup Qualifying match which is currently Wales 1 - 1 Kazakhstan after Wales give a penalty.

England ended 2-0 yesterday as M.L Skelly and Kane got in for England against Albania
 
Forgot this thread was around. My 17 y/o led his Desert Vista High School to the Arizona Open Soccer Championship. This was the first year of the open, where they take the top 8 teams from 6A, 5A, 4A and then the next 8 highest ranked schools from the teams left. In the final they battled to a 1-1 draw. They conceded with 16 minutes left in the game and then immediately scored on the restart to tie it. After the 80 minutes they went scoreless in two 10 minute overtime’s. In the PK Shootout, DV was shooting second in each of the five rounds. The opponent made all five of theirs, so every DV kick was to tie it up. The opponent missed their 6th. In all actuality the DV keeper ate it up as all six takes by the opponent when to the keepers right. On the final kick for the win the DV player easily slotted it home for the 6-5 win. My son was voted Defensive player of the year for the State of Arizona. He is now back with his ECNL and UPDL teams. The UPSL team owns part of an Ireland League One Club and are taking my son to train and trial in June after he graduates high school. Would post pics/vids if I knew how. Really quite a magical season after returning from playing over in Germany for six months.

Very cool!
 
Hoping these results hold Rasta. I’m on this rollercoaster with you. If this holds Leeds couldn’t ask for a better match week. This is like the Kings losing out if you wanted us to make the playoffs. Sheffield UTD losing, Burnley at a Draw, and Leeds winning. Back to the top of the table if this holds. Probably going to come down to the end but this is a crucial week. I’m down to see Leeds in the EPL, get Southampton out.
