English teams have won just three Europa Cups over the last 25 years, so a reasonable reason for fans to entirely celebrate Spurs' success.

Nobody will ever achieve what Sevilla did (barring a rule change) as the Europa winners qualify for the Champions League and teams no longer drop back from the CL to the EL, which no doubt also played a part in Spurs and United making the final.

100%. If you're playing Bodo Glimt in the semi final of the Europa League it's a weaker comp.

Although to be fair to them they did beat Lazio in the qtr final

Stunning achievement by Auckland FC to hold Boca Juniors 1-1.

Caps off a phenomenal debut year.

It's average home game attendance this season was 18,890. Best in the league!

Amazed to learn that it's actually an amateur club comprising part-timers.

Also its squad is composed of predominantly locals.

Wrong club, its Auckland City FC who are competing in the Fifa Club World Cup, not Auckland FC of the A-League.

They've been OFC Champions 13 times in the last 18 seasons, also winning the NZ League title 10 times in that time.

Oops!

I wrongly assumed that the A-League would qualify for a spot, but apparently it's by Federation. So the Oceania Cup winner (Auckland City) qualifies.

Ronaldo later posted a message on his Instagram, confirming the extension. “A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let’s make history together,” read the post.

Reports from The Sun state that  40 year old Ronaldo will pocked $373 million per year for his new deal, and will also be handed a 15% ownership stake in the Saudi club.

The reports also includes an extravagant system of bonuses, including a $51.3 million signing bonus, $16.7 million if Al-Nassr win the league and $8.38 million if he tops the Saudi league’s goalscoring chart.

Why?Confused Why would anybody pay that much for Ronaldo?Wacko If you offered a tenth of that you would still be the best offer he has, by far.

You can get all the fancy rich elites to play over there they want, it's all still just like putting lipstick on a pig imo. 

I'll never watch it, much rather watch a lower English division or Euro league, with younger unknowns than that rich glitterati garbage. 

Hell I'd rather watch the kids over the road at the football ground on the weekends - nights than any bloated Saudi rubbish.

Chelsea will play Palmeiras in the 1/4 final of the CWC after beating Benfica.

That'll give them millions more and help the PSR to do as it is designed to do, maintain the "Big 6" control of the Premier League.

Chelsea 3 PSG 0




Chelsea have got a habit of snagging big international competitions when they are nowhere near the best team in that competition or even their own league. When they are the best in their own league they do not win.Confused

6 weeks out from the mooted start date of the A-League and the fixtures have not even been announced yet, I get they had to wait for the Brisbane Roar and Western United sagas to be played out but surely they could have at least had some fixtures drafted up for any of 3 possible numbers of teams who would be involved pending how each club went?

The A-League started out with big dreams but it almost feels like the football equivalent of Orwells classic Animal Farm, the further we go the more the A-League looks like the NSL.

Can't think of a better 9, 10, 11 than Barcelona's.

Yet none of them started!

Played Valencia before a crowd of 6,000 at the Women's stadium, where the girls have a 20:1 record after 3 games.

Seems to have rubbed off on the hombres who won 6-0.

2nd Half subs Raphina  & Lewandowski each goaled twice.

Even with Jesus on his side Ange is not having a good debut.

Forest led 2-0 (courtesy of the Messiah) until 68' against Championship team Swansea in the EFL Cup.

Then Socceroo defender Cameron Burgess headed in the box.

Then Vipotnik in 90+3'.

And Burgess again in 90+7'. Edge of the box from a 30m ricochet 

Forest fans less than forgiving.

The numbers look crazy to someone used to seeing La Liga always ending up with the best players and paying the most.

EPL 1.51 billion Euro: La Liga 54 million Euro.

They are being outspent by Turkey and Russia
