GDI Real that's amateurism. A lot of things are going wrong at the club. Especially compared to the paradise that is Barcelona.

Glad Origi scored, I still kinda think that things went too fast for him after the World Cup. He could have started out at a small club to gain confidence and experience. But hopefully Klopp can help him.

Let's see first how the expanded Euros are going to be, I guess.

Origi was on loan to a club in Ligue 1 last season, iirc

But he didn't too well over there. With Klopp, it helps that Klopp has been wanting to work with him for a while. Whereas with LFC under Rodgers, it seemed to be a case of 'gotta get them all' and not knowing what to do with them (still mad how we treated Javier Manquillo, tbh). The club and its players - it's amazing what an organised and committed manager can do.

Another piece of news that was overlooked because of the Circus at Cadiz -- LA LIGA TELEVISION RIGHTS! Good news for the league. :)

All I'll say about the Madrid mess.... and a lot of journos are saying this as well.... the lack of a sporting director or any technical structure within the club in general is really hurting us. I've spent the whole day researching on the matter and apparently, our director of football, Ramon Martinez, has been seriously ill and has been unable to perform his duties as director. Chendo, our match delegate, is being held responsible for this oversight.

Also, it's raining FIFA arrests!

wait, hold up

Of the remaining 90 percent, half is split equally amongst all 20 clubs in the top flight. Another quarter is allocated based on league results for the previous five seasons, whilst the final quarter is awarded on a variety of criteria such as number of club members and attendances.

The increased revenue means Barca and Madrid will not lose money despite the more egalitarian system

How does that work?! It still doesn't seem fair, you know?

Real Madrid, for the size of the club and for what it is, seems to be run really badly. They need an ex Bayern Munich person at that level to sort stuff out.

RE: wait, hold up

Well it's good news for the league in general which is trying to raise its brand. Certainly an improvement from the old system, though?

"Real Madrid, for the size of the club and for what it is, seems to be run really badly."

Understatement of the fucking year. It's being run badly on the pitch and off it.

So how long is the WC going to last now?

It's normally a month

[jazzypom]

So we're looking at about five to six weeks, iirc.

Re: It's normally a month

[funhouse]

for some reason i thought the 2014 games were 3 weeks and so it was going to expand to a full month

6 weeks seems a bit long

[askatasun]

Cadiz' next opponents, Mérida A.D, made this LMAO.
