Mourinho's lost it. His rant in the post match interview was outrageous even by his standards. This on top of eva gate really makes me wonder if he isn't ultimately trying to get sacked.

Speaking of cross culture exchange, you watching the Dolphins in London tomorrow?

No. Gf's birthday today. No chance.

Anyway. Rodgers finally sacked. Hearing strong rumours he's gonna be replaced by Ancelotti.

Probably bad news for h8kurdt. Can only see liverpool improving now bullshit-meister Brendan's gone, especially if they do get Ancelotti.

Sneaked a watch of the highlights last night. Not sure if the Jets are really good but the Dolphins looked bloody awful! But the tickets apparently sold out in record time so it's all good for the NFL and UK fans.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 10.05.2015, 07:48 AM

Dolphins are surprisingly bad this year

!@#$%! · 10.05.2015, 02:12 PM

i was out all weekend on some business bullshit

I'M GLAD I DIDN'T SEE IT

Klopp now favourite for Das Kop

!@#$%! · 10.06.2015, 03:23 PM

good luck with that highly charismatic but stubbornly inflexible guy.

demonrail666 · 10.06.2015, 08:13 PM

Rest assured the press will love him (if it is him) and I'm sure the fans will give him time, but that team needs serious rebuilding. Lots of decent players but Coutinho's the only one who really stands out.

What was the set up at Dortmund? Was Klopp hands on in choosing new signings, cos if he was he might find life at Liverpool a bit of a shock. Seems pretty clear now that Rodgers didn't have much say in which players were signed or sold. That's why i think Ancelotti's a better fit. Besides IMO simply being a better manager than Klopp, he's shown that he's very comfortable with that kind of set up.

Personally, I think if it is Klopp, it'll only be because Ancelotti has turned them down.

!@#$%! · 10.06.2015, 09:21 PM

i believe he was the one who built the winning dortmund

(but it was bayern that tore it apart)

(with the help of man u and others)

my problem with klopp is that when it didn't work he had no response

it's everything or nothing with him

demonrail666 · 10.06.2015, 11:01 PM

It seems that at Liverpool the board have more influence over signings, but Klopp won't be going into that set up blind so he'll at least know what to expect.

Re his tactics, maybe he's one of those managers, a bit like Mourinho, or even Bielsa, who goes in, injects some real intensity, then, when that burns out, moves on to do it somewhere else. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he ends up making a big impact at Liverpool but doesn't stay that long.

EDIT: Just heard something on the radio saying that part of Klopp's contractual demands will probably says he wants a greater say in transfer dealings.

Brazil just went down 0-2 vs Chile. Pentachampions of the world my ass.

Yes yes, I watched almost every Copa América game. The Lone Star is being universally praised, and deservedly so.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 10.09.2015, 03:05 PM

USA better handle biz tomorrow, don't want to get humiliated again like the last time they played against Mexico at the Rose Bowl

You know, that was one moronic thing for Jara to do, but the conflict with Cavani already had a history. On the last Chile vs Uruguay game of the qualifiers for Brazil 2014 (Santiago, Chile 2-0), Cavani punched Jara in the face — I mean he clocked him, full fist on the guy's mug, and the defender simply stood there and nobody said jack. So, the finger shit, that was crass as hell, but payback was a-coming...

not moronic in the least but a stroke of genius-- especially the bullshit face-grabbing and fake rolling on the floor he did afterwards. he got cavani thrown out of the game! in spite of the later sanctions, he couldn't have done better for his team.

although that was probably bribe money... fucile was thrown out on a non-existent foul as well. truly scandalous. yes, yes, we still love this sport...

anyway...

strikers and defenders usually develop a history of some kind; i didn't know of this feud in particular but i'm not surprised. uruguay sucked in those qualifiers, and barely made it via a playoff with an oceania team (new zealand i think it was). so their fate did not change there.

but anyway, in a different setting--- google cavani-chiellini for some hilarious photography. why wait, i'll post it here, ha ha ha ha

It was actually Jordan, 5-0 global. Those poor bastards in Asia and Oceania, man...
