There could be some kind of a swap deal involving Greenwood and Gleison Bremer. United could do a lot worse in their search for a new central defender, the guy is a tank.

34 games played this season too. I'm so fucking envious of teams with capable centre backs.

Speaking of Juve, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Ten Hag is looking to finally sign Rabiot since he's out of contract in the summer. Reports said he was interested in loaning him last summer, and I haven't heard anything of Juve locking him into another contract yet. We have more important positions to cover ahead of midfield but EtH seems to love him.
 
Update from the Championship

From the games I said would be interesting to watch

Sheffield Wednesday 2 - 0 Sunderland
Ipswich Town 2 - 0 Huddersfield
Blackburn 2 - 0 Leicester City
Plymouth 1 - 0 Hull City
Birmingham 1 - 0 Norwich City
West Brom 3 - 0 Preston
Southampton 2 - 1 Leeds United

With these results, Leicester still won the Championship with 97 points. Ipswich will return to the premier league for the first time since 2002. Leeds will play Norwich City and Southampton will play West Brom in the playoffs. All 4 are recent premier league teams so one of them will get to return and the other 3 will be floundering in the Championship next year. As for relegation, Huddersfield obviously didn't make their great escape and will be down with Rotherham. Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday, and Blackburn winning their games meant that Birmingham's win over Norwich didn't save them. The Tom Brady experiment with firing their competent manager and hiring Wayne Rooney for a few months certainly doomed them.


In Serie A, Bologna, Milan, Roma, and Juve all drew their games. Atalanta plays on Monday and a win would bring them level with Roma on points with a game in hand. While only Inter Milan have qualified for the Champions League, AC Milan needs 2 points over the next 3 games. Or if Roma drop 2 points at some point (or if Atalanta lose 3 games in a row).
 
Bayern got reject by fucking Julen Lopetegui! I'm sure their fans are happy about that, but still, their pull is in the mud-

Concacaf = Pronounced "Conka Calf" lol

So we can't even watch most of Monterrey's regular league games in English (let alone the smaller clubs) and then we have this word salad.

The marketing failures are so obvious, are they even trying?

Yeah, Bremer is the one who knocks. His strength is comparable to Rudiger, when he bullies the opponent off the ball it almost looks effortless. I'll be sad to see him go this summer but it seems pretty much inevitable.

As far as Rabiot, trust me you do not want him at your club. He's had one good season out of five at Juve. For the first 3 had his moments but was inconsistent, last season was great and this season has been complete shit. He plays every minute under Allegri and is completely anonymous 95% of time. Good technique for a player his size but his mentality is trash, he belongs in the Saudi league. And you have to deal with his mother/agent, I wouldn't even wish that on Inter.
 
Ok, Zidane is out for Bayern...

"Zinedine Zidane rules out taking Bayern Munich job and backs Real Madrid to knock Harry Kane's team out of the Champions League"

What a shit show.

At least they won't be throwing up the white flag with next year's home kit:

They asked how much more red could it be, and the answer was none- none more red.

Curious about how many gringos are jonesing for Liga MX coverage in English. Soccer commentators in English in the US are usually so bad, viewers will deal with Spanish commentary in spite of a potential language barrier.

I know I can't stand watching MLS with English language commentary.

At this point, Bayern are going to be left with Zidane as their only choice, and watch him even say no before being formally asked.

They are gonna realize that the leadership at Bayern is the problem. I am waiting for them to ask Tuchel to stay another season only for him to reject them.

Why does LigaMX make it so difficult to find English language broadcasts? Do they hate money?

You don't want american commentators. Trust me

This only happens because Chelsea decided to win 3 in a row after being humiliated by Arsenal

Casemiro has to be one of the biggest falls from grace I've seen in a long time. He was a great player for Real, he moves and was so pivotal for us last year, and yet this year he's been one of the worst players in the team by far. We're so frail in defence and yet he finds it perfectly okay to push up when he doesn't have to and leave an aging Jonny Evans on his own to try and fix his inevitable mistakes.

Classic United though that he's on astronomical wages making him impossible to sell, the Middle East have basically put their wallets away, and he's signed for another two years.
 
PSG are the most unserious, cursed team to ever exist in recorded history. And this is best exemplified by their decision to keep Donnarumma's bum ass around. He's pure garbage and will never be good enough to win anything that matters (on a club level).
 
Mats Hummels, man of the match.
Always nice seeing Arab money going up in flames and billions not achieving anything.
Let's hope for a miracle tomorrow, Bayern advancing to the finals. And whichever team wins is fine for me. Dortmund for being the underdog, or Bayern as Tuchels final fuck you when he leaves. And then the Bayern management crawling back to him asking for a year extension, but he'll ride into the sunset with a big grin on his face anyways.

Plus, in this scenario if Bayern win out, Kane would win some hardware, on English soil no less.
