Topic: The Push Square Football (Soccer) Thread

Way too early to be thinking about any thing relating to next season.

@themcnoisy I reckon Man United will be fun to watch but might not win too much. Can't see past City again for the title, and I also can't see Brighton surviving this time. Other than that, I'm not sure.

Oh and Blackpool FC will begin their meteoric rise back up to the top, free at last from the shackles of the Oyston family.

@themcnoisy I concur with @Gamer83 and @Tasuki, i love the sport, but more into US sport watching to have an educated opinion. I do enjoy watching Liverpool when i can though

@Gamer83 @Elodin @Tasuki it was a trap! I called on ye in an effort to find someone who has the show 18 to give me an intentional walk online and get the platinum!

(not really but whilst you replied I do need the trophy)

@themcnoisy Hmmm intentionally derailing a thread, where's my banhammer? 😂

_{seriously though, I do not have that game last Show I got was 17.}

@Tasuki I know. You didn't upgrade from 17 because of retro mode if memory serves me correct.

@themcnoisy
It's just a trophy...

@themcnoisy
If you're serious, though, and want the trophy that bad I could help, I still have MLB The Show 18. I get Tuesdays and Wednesdays off from work.

@Gamer83 same days as me. Haha. Nice one bro.

@themcnoisy
Cant watch any sport where the best strategy is to pretend to be hurt. To go flying at the merest of contact and writhe around holding ones knee until they are awarded a free kick and then pop back up for the play. Not to mention the 0-0 ties which essentially means you were fool enough to watch people just pass a ball for 90 min. I can't take that chance. Soccer popularity in America is up from 1% to 3% percent because of the influx of immigrants.
I say How bout them Dallas Cowboys!!!

@themcnoisy Oh, um, thanks for the tag, but I don't really follow sports. You guys have fun! I'll root for whomever you tell me I should. lol

@Heavyarms55 Everton!

@themcnoisy Sure thing. Everton Banzai!

Is anyone up for a fantasy football league this year?

@Heavyarms55 Do your bit for charity and support United!

@Frigate He is certainly no VVD, but he will improve Man U. Just not enough to challenge for the title imo.

@Frigate Man U have suffered from buying players because of their individual skill set rather than buying them because they fit into the team and the way they play. Klopp and to a certain extent Pep will only spend a substantial amount of money if they feel the player will improve the squad.

But on the other side of the coin, I feel there been has a lack of ambition by Liverpool to build on from last season. There is no cover for Salah and Mane who might be knackered in a couple of months. To make not 1 signing apart from youth players is a concern.

You should always be looking to bolster your squad. When you are in a strong position, this will be easier to attract the best players. Sometimes this could mean taking a bit of a risk in signing a player, as there is no guarantee a player will be a perfect fit for the squad.

Everton will finish 5th this season jusf ahead of Chelsea.

MLS ALL STAR SKILLS CHALLENGE:

I always wondered how come the EPL doesn't have All-Star weekends.

@Frigate Yeah, all the major American sports (like the NBA, MLB, NFL...) have it, right? I don't follow the NBA anymore but I still watch their All-Star event every year.
