The EPL cheats, they get away with it. It's killing football in general, the EPL looks after their billionaire owners, taxpayers pick up the tab. Newcastle is owned by Salman the Butcher.

They do what they want, no consequences.

At least Atalanta showed some life. Why do so many defenders get ACL injuries, Scalvini is only recently back to fitness. Giovanni Leoni joined Liverpool and promptly went out with an ACL in the Cornudo Cup.

Juve have done SFA since Chiellini and Bonucci retired.

Atlanta made it thru

One game suspension is only provisional. There is more coming after investigation is completed.

They're out so it doesn't matter anymore

Why you think they'll beat Sporting? Phil has become Norwegian all of a sudden

Tiers 1 - 4 is known as the Silver Path and is the toughest. Bayern Munich is favoured to emerge from this group.
Tiers 5 - 8 is known as the Blue Path. Barcelona is favoured to emerge from this softer group

I don't know if Bayern is going to beat Real or City or Liverpool.

Looks more likely to be a final between Arsenal and either Liverpool or Man City.

Phil C. McNasty · Mar 1, 2026

Malen with his 6th goal. He has become Roma's topscorer in just 7 games.

Roma 3 - 3 Juve.

Fun game

Great game, Juve didn't give up even when behind in the last few minutes.

Insidious Von · Mar 1, 2026

Great game but Roma kaaked a win.

I'm rapidly losing interest in Italian football. I have no interest in the EPL, it's a robber baron league.

And the Man Utd beat rolls on. Now up to 3rd in the standings. Who could have imagined that?

An assistant of previous Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim claimed the players failed to implement his ideas. Which is garbage talk.
New manager Michael Carrick has made just two changes which are yielding rich dividends.
First is ditching the disastrous 3 at the back, which was leaking goals, in favour of 4. Amorim stuck with the back 3 even though it was clearly not working
Second is featuring Man Utd academy player Kobbie Mainoo to back Bruno Fernandez in central midfield. Mainoo never started a game under Amorim
The midfield is now more compact and passes are more effective.

Man Utd's Benjamin Sesko is the next football superstar

He's only 22 yrs old.
United could have a quality striker for many years to come
