Damn you know it's bad when all three publications use the same picture :lol:

Man Utd just isn't the same anymore. I don't doubt that they will get good again, they're too rich and proud of a club to let that happen. But the 13 titles in 23 years United? That's not coming back, and I hope some fans realize this and accept that. Sir Alex ain't walking through that door.

I don't think this is even possible in the modern English game.

United yes were successful based on SAF, but because United generated very high revenues from it's own performances, it allowed them to be shark in the pond. Now with other clubs with money (self made or sugar daddy'd) and with the new TV deal etc coming into effect, I think it will be very difficult for any club in the prem to just consistently dominate year after year.

TAMPA, Fla. – The United Soccer League today announced a partnership with Alianza de Futbol, the leading national organization dedicated to the support and development of amateur Hispanic soccer in the United States, to become its exclusive domestic professional league partner.

The partnership will allow the USL and its teams access to the hundreds of thousands of Hispanic families that participate in Alianza events across the country each year, and the ability to recruit and sign the top prospects identified at these events.

The agreement will also offer the opportunity for the USL’s National Scouting Network to take part in POWERADE[emoji]174[/emoji] Sueño Alianza showcase matches.

“We look forward to working with Alianza to identify undiscovered, talented Hispanic soccer players and provide them the opportunity to launch their professional careers in the USL,” said USL President Jake Edwards. “Many highly talented young Hispanic players have been discovered through the Alianza program, including those who have gone on to play in MLS and Liga MX. We look forward to continuing that success in the USL.”

For more than a decade, Alianza de Futbol has provided a platform to support the development of amateur Hispanic soccer in the United States. The organization sponsors tournaments – including POWERADE[emoji]174[/emoji] Sueño Alianza the largest scouting program in the United States dedicated to providing talented Hispanic players in the U-16, U-19 and U-22 age groups a once-in-a-lifetime free opportunity to be seen by top coaches and scouts.

Alianza de Futbol events attract over 220,000 players annually, with more than 1 million Hispanic players having participated in an Alianza event over the past decade. With its partnership with the USL, those players will have a clear path to reach the professional ranks, while also increasing awareness of the league and its teams in the large Hispanic soccer market.

Every once in a while a Mexican club will make it to the final of the Libertadores. First was Cruz Azul in 2001, then came Chivas in 2010, and last year Tigres lost against River Plate. Toluca looked good yesterday, my club is in the same group so we'll be playing them soon.

I knew tigres was losing that in argentina after they missed those clear opportunities in the first half :smh:

Turned off the damn gaame at half time.

Losing a final in south america in true mexican fashion.

My organic chemistry professor and I chop it up about footy all the time, and he recently requested me on Twitter and said we should watch the CL final together over some beers. He's an awesome professor and a really cool dude.

A lot of the info I get that I talk to him about is posted in this thread from you guys, so thank you for helping seal the deal on getting a sweet letter of recommendation from him :tongue:

Oh yes I fully agree, that's what I was alluding to when I said Man Utd can't replicate that dominance. It's crazy how it's been 23 years and yet the champion list goes:

13 United

4 Chelsea

3 Arsenal

2 Man City

1 Blackburn Rovers (born year ftw)

West Ham has big plans, although I don't know how strong their fanbase is. Liverpool is looking for a Klopp resurgance, and hopefully, both Kroenke and Wenger will get their heads out of their ***** and spend more money on bringing in top-class players. Even with City bring Pep in, I think it will soon be realized he can't come in and just dominate like he did with Barca and Bayern. 
 
Man I don't want Pogba to go to Barca or City...

I would cop a RM Pogba jersey but I have a feeling Florentino is racist

They're light skin tho.

Has RM EVER had a black black player?

Especially under Perez?

Di Maria was supposedly dropped for not being handsome enough.

Adebayor even played for Real at one point :lol:. I feel like they never really have that many black players but they've had a few in the recent past. You're kind of right that under Flo their really haven't been a lot at all.

Casillas's agent had some claims about him that he doesn't like black players but I don't know how much truth there was to that since he said it during the debacle between Real and Iker and might've been bitter.

Really would love/prefer Pogba uder the tutelage of Zizou at Real though
