La Liga is Scotland with more teams, Real Madrid are allowed to spend over double what anyone else can on wages, half the league is allowed to spend no more than double Mbappe's wage alone on their entire squad.
The worlds oldest fossil was discovered in Australia, they named it Rupert Murdoch.

In competitiveness not quality.

Nobody outside of the big 3 have won it in 2 decades.

Nobody else is allowed to spend anywhere near.the big 3 in wages, perpetuating the big 3 dominance.

For me the most wonderful shock was in Seria A

Como 2 - Juventus 0 

First win by Como over Juve since 1952! That's 73 years of waiting. Como have a future star in 21YO Argentine Nico Paz on loan from Real Madrid! Head coach is hmmmmm   - Cesc Fabergas!


BTW Been to a couple of times to Como - The scenery is assolutamente magnifico!

Some of the worst defending I've ever seen in a pro football team, just woeful.



It was so bad at this point i am left wondering if there was not some dodgy big betting on the match ?

Ireland only managed 23% possession against Portugal.

And ended up winning 2-0!

But CR7 stole the show with his walk of shame.

He elbowed an Irish player in the back and was sent off, looked to be pretty silly, warranted a red imo.

Hard to tell from the video.

Even when played at 0.25 speed.

They were back to back.

CR7 swung a decent elbow into his back.

The victim paused before deciding to fall to the ground.

Making me wonder about simulation.

Crazy stuff, that second goal for Hungary, it's the kind of goal as a young teen you practice and hope one day you get a chance to score one like that.

In La Liga a 3rd consecutive draw by Real Madrid has them relinquishing top spot to Barcelona.

Barca has rarely fielded its best 11, so I'm not sure why it's not Betfair favourite.

F.C. Barcelona is renowned for breaking soccer records.

Over the years, the star-studded club has won title after title, becoming one of the most well-known brands in all of sports. But beneath the surface there is a less laudatory achievement: Barcelona is by a margin the most indebted team in global soccer history.

Barcelona’s liabilities have reached 2.5 billion euros ($2.9 billion), according to the club’s treasurer. That burden, mostly related to a stadium refurbishment that the club says should be considered separately from its other debt, is roughly twice as large as that of its big rival, Real Madrid. It is the result of a dizzying combination of financial mismanagement and vaulting ambition.

Real Madrid has been undergoing some upheavals recently, with their manager departing despite the team being 2nd in La Liga and still with a chance at everything.

Barcelona defeated them to win the Super Cup.

Then Real was defeated by nobodies CF Talavera in the Copa del Rey.

This morning Jose Mourhino's Benfica  knocked them out of the UCL Top 8!

Benfica's Ukranian goalkeeper Trubin headed in the last goal!

Barcelona had been on a 11 game winning streak, but blew it over the weekend, to keep La Liga tight.

Does anybody in Spain really care about anything but La Liga and Champions League?

Not sure what was intended by the above, but:

With 25m subscribers Barcelona is the top sporting entity on YouTube, beating FIFA and the NBA.


And look at these sensational figures - topped by Real Madrid & Barca!

Newcastle Jets have now won their last 7 matches and top the table.

Macarthur is 4th.

These are rare positive signs for the labouring A-League.

Strong provincial teams are a key part of bolstering the sport.
