At least Hojlund's knees should be fine then

Knee slides are a classic though. At least the pitches are like carpets these days, imagine doing that in the 70s? Ripped to shreds.
I remember Celestine Babayaro used to do a whole load of gymnastic cartwheels and flips to celebrate goals, then one year he supposedly fractured his leg in pre-season doing that. Club must have been furious!

Wonder what persuaded Ronaldo to sign his 2 year £500mil contract - must be the love of the game
Disgusting level of money

It is a ridiculous level of money. That being said, the Saudis have decided that there is nobody better than Ronaldo, both in terms of playing football and brand value, and that is the money they are prepared to give him. So, fair play to Ronaldo for having the ability, career and profile to be able to command that sort of money being thrown at him.
Love of the game? I'm not sure anybody can question Ronaldo's love of the game. He has pretty much dedicated his life to football, and managed to pretty much ensure he has not let anything get in the way of him becoming the best footballer he can be. You would be hard pressed to find a better professional than Ronaldo, at least in terms of playing football.

I take it you have never had carpet burns on your knees then.Knee slides are a classic though. At least the pitches are like carpets these days, imagine doing that in the 70s? Ripped to shreds.

In the 70s, you'd have gone about 3 inches before sinking into the mud ...Knee slides are a classic though. At least the pitches are like carpets these days, imagine doing that in the 70s? Ripped to shreds.

van Nistlerooy has finally left Leicester - not sure why it has taken this long as it was inevitable.

I think it's because Leicester are in serious financial trouble. Also looks like they'll get getting a points deduction too.
The timing, I believe, had to coincide with the end of their accounting year to avoid further FFP/PSR penalties.

Didn't watch it but heard Ait Nouri had a good game. He's going to be the bargain of the season.

Yes he was really good . 2 assists .
Reijnders is the one who is really taking my eye . Him & Roddry in the centre . .

I thought he’d already gone.
Said to a lad at work it was probably more a date they had to wait for,for financial reasons.

It is odd how the club World Cup finals have a lot of negative attitude towards it in the UK, but this link shows that Brazil is going mad for it. The four teams that have qualified for the last 16 have geared there season up for these finals 
A good read indeed about the changing times in Brazilian football.

Why are Brazilian clubs doing so well at Club World Cup?
Brazil have four clubs in the last-16 of the Fifa Club World Cup - what does that say about the national team's chances at the 2026 World Cup?

I'm just trying to think whether I could be less interested in the Club World Cup.

Is there even any TV coverage? I’ve had a quick glance and I haven’t been able to find any.
I won’t lie. With the exception of the dross produced by England recently, I haven’t watched any football on the box since the Europa League final. I have absolutely no interest in the Club World Cup, and probably wouldn’t have even if United were involved.
I won’t be bothering with the women’s Euros, and can’t see me watching any football until the Championship and Premier Leagues kick off again.
It’s the summer. So I’ll watch a bit of cricket, The Open, and play a lot of golf.

Don’t fancy watching our U21s in the Euro final tonight?
I’m at a BBQ, so probably not. Might have made an exception for that, to be fair.

Every match of The Club World Cup is broadcast free to air on DAZN...some matches have been televised on Channel 5 as well.
(I haven't watched a single game...been more interested in the U-19 and U-21 European Championships)
