Atletico Madrid or Olympique Lyonnais or Wolfsburg have the most successful sides in germany/spain/france in the womens game and it is telling that the larger monied sides in the mens game in germany/spain/france have been unable to succeed in the womens game absent the ability to buy talent through money in the womens.

Though I think the chinese womens super league or the nadeshiko league need to consider what they can do. https://twitter.com/AScavs/status/1190322366016053248 River Angels reach the Finals of the NWPL super 4 - congratulations to the blue angels. https://twitter.com/bella2ekeoma/status/1190312282628280326 photos https://twitter.com/NBSports_Live/status/1190367877603438593

Correa/Lemar/Llorente/Herrera/Arias are all irregular players in the starting role. Atletico MAdrid were applying the system, but these players seem unsharp in execution. This match Simeone is using as a depth test. This starting 11, especially the irregular starters, needs to be able to defeat Alaves. llorente went out and partay came in and the midfield control became greater. Morata came in and Hererra came out and Atletico gained a blade tip. Diego Costa came out and Koke came in, for more midfield versatility. Atletico had good chances and did not score. Some pundits suggest these are slip ups but the season is long. Atletico are not miles away from the top of the table. And Simeone is sticking to his rotation policy, like Lampard at Chelsea. The rotation is getting better in results.

  6. Chicago Red Stars vs North Carolina Courage NWSL 2019 final North Carolina Courage in the Lyn Williams/Jess Mcdonald duo have the dominant goal duo in the league by a distance. Sam Kerr is the leading goal getter individually. But the key is athleticism. Can Chicago defend against the attack of North Carolina, especially the runs from midfield from Crystal Dunn/Debinha that support Williams/McDonald. Chicago can be lethal but they will play a delicate counter attack. The problem is not that Chicago cannot score but North Carolina's speed over 90 minutes is dangerous. The key is that Chicago has defeated North Carolina twice and drew once, never being defeated in the regular season. So, the entropy in the year is in the zone for Chicago. But this is late season so we shall see. Introduction- is this Argentineans women soccer, the gas caused the players to cough, bad timing fans https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Idw771fwF?fid=1034:4432216672137276 Labbe Save- One of only two true needed times by circa 25: 37 https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Idw8kDTMe?fid=1034:4432217468798083 Debinha goal- It started with Lyn Williams bringing the ball centrally. Jes McDonald kept the play wide as Williams pushed the Chicago backline. Then when McDonald got the ball, she made a dangerous cross right in front and Debinha bested her marker and after a tussle a tap in. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Idw9YB0rZ?fid=1034:4432218198607547 Jess McDonald attempt- she called for the ball earlier but the pass took too long, the defensive error is why she received it, but the space was lost and Naeher closed her out https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IdwfyCpXK?fid=1034:4432222200235436 Jess McDonald score- Lyn Williams stayed out wide like McDonald did, they each rotate that role to maintain width and McDonald is too strong for the Chicago defenders https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Idwgojdhl?fid=1034:4432222472865480 Samm Kerr cross attempt- after the first few minutes, circa 43rd minute was the only time North Carolina let up their collective pace or pressure. It allowed Chicago an attempt on goal, but it was not a collective effort. Chicago is best when Kerr is the spearpoint end to a counter https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Idwmt5Kd4?fid=1034:4432226281297274 Jess McDonald score again- A brace and again the wide play. Though the mistake by the clearly fatigued Chicago red star defender. The ability of North Carolina to run hard for the whole match overwhelms opponents. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Idwndb45S?fid=1034:4432226935609292 Samantha Mewis - The physical domination by the Courage is on display. The header was not free, but Mewis seem unphased by the challenge. But the error was in the beginning. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IdwCR0Wdu?fid=1034:4432236469010421 Heather O'Reilly last moments on the pitch https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IdwNGn9Yk?fid=1034:4432243079501736 North Carolina trophy lift https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Idx5vtvD1?fid=1034:4432248930563420 The first attempt on goal was from Chicago. But North Carolina quickly reacted with thier modulation game from defense to attack and that caught Chicago off. I think Chicago foolishly went to an attacking posture when they can't keep collective pace with North Carolina. After the goal, Chicago went into counter attack mode, but they should had started that way. Never over assess failure, never under assess success. Whether intentionally or not Yuki Nagasato was not in the game for Chicago. Although after the goal, Chicago was always endangered attacking. Lyn Williams circa 18:35 ran all the way from the frontline to get the ball from Sam Kerr. She is very hungry. The problem with North Carolina is having such an attack minded quarter, when they are condensed in attack, the lack of speed in the defensive setup opens them up to a player like Kerr, who is excellent at running the angles. Julie Ertz by circa 22:32 looks out of the game like Yuki Nagasato. The opening strategy is costing Chicago a lot. Circa 41st minute, North Carolina finally stopped running and Chicago was allowed into the match. The attempt linked above from a Sam Kerr cross was the result. Lyn Williams cannot stay in the match a full 90 minutes, right? By circa 44th minute and the second water break she ran more than anybody else, changing her tempo a number of times. Casey Short seemed knocked out of breath, squatting on the pitch unable to go anywhere. After the second water break, North Carolina came out energized and Chicago was ready for the halftime break. The duo of Lyn Williams side Jess McDonald made the first half, their wide play, their goals or sharpness in attack, their defensive tracking back. The NWSL final was over for me at the half. Chicago do not have the legs or strength to overcome North Carolina 4-0 in one half. The referee took away a Chicago red Star goal based on a foul. Circa 74th minute Jess McDonald was taken out, great game. Debinha was still running and Lyn Williams is bullying the backline of Chicago. By the 85th minute, the game is over. North Carolina is not pressing and letting Chicago try, but Chicago doesn't have the goals in them. They have one spearpoint and she is Kerr. Ertz/Nagasato are parts to their sword to support her. Did Lyn Williams stay a full 90? YEs, and She wins the player of the second half, for me. Did Chicago come back? Chicago never had a chance when they went down one goal. The coach chose wrong, the posture was not correct. At the trophy celebration, Chicago Red Star players need to be angry at their coach. The face of Naeher seemed very upset but the Chicago Red Star coach made the error. Some players need to wash those tears. I love how players make it seem like second is woeful. Imagine if you are relegated. Imagine being bottom of the table. North Carolina if they keep their core can challenge for the NWSL title next year. But, the duo of McDonald / Williams is electric and worthy any money spending women's side, a look to get from North Carolina, ala Madrid. Also, even though Samm Kerr was isolated in this match she is the biggest goal getter in NWSL history, again Real Madrid come calling. Heather O Reilly is becoming an assistant coach at UNC after this match. North Carolina are the 2019 NWSL champions.

Burnley are a woeful side.

  11. Richard Murray Thoughts Round 1 season 2 https://www.kobo.com/us/en/audiobook/richard-murray-thoughts-round-1-1 ----------------------------------- Title: Introduction Good Morning , Good afternoon, or Good evening, wherever you are listening, I am Richard Murray and welcome to this audio edition to my thoughts. Remember, to click the link in the description of this edition to view the transcript, that has links to everything I refer OR to send me a message about a topic you want to hear in the future. ------------------------------------------------------ Title: Lebron's statement part 1 Lebron James made a statement < https://www.sfchronicle.com/warriors/article/LeBron-James-comments-on-China-an-14535304.php > over a week ago concerning statements made by Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey. As a point, the highest media profile chinese player in NBA history, Yao Ming, played for the Rockets. I quote Lebron: "When you’re misinformed or you’re not educated about something, and I’m just talking about the tweet itself, you never know the ramifications that can happen ... Yes, we all do have freedom of speech. But at times, there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you’re not thinking about others and you’re only thinking about yourself. I don’t want to get into a feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn’t educated on the situation at hand and he spoke. ...So many people could have been harmed — not only financially, but physically, emotionally, spiritually. Just be careful about what we tweet, what we say and what we do. Yes, we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that, too. ... I think when we talk about the political side, I think it’s a very delicate situation. Very sensitive situation ... For me personally, if any of you guys know me or always cover me, you guys know when I speak about something, I speak about something I’m very knowledgeable about" end quote. Many people opined Lebron's statement was false but I want to go through it to see where any falsehood reside. Lebron's first point is those who are misinformed or miseducated , based on their writing, can not know the ramifications to their words. What is false in that point. Daryl Morey is not chinese or from Hong Kong. Morey being an massachusetts Institut of Tehcnology graduate does not give him a license to speak on anything as an informed person. Morey made his quote while Statian, statian meaning from the usa, basketball players were playing in China. If a Statian basketball player would had been hurt, Morey is the sole to blame. And, the history of sport is full of fans whose emotions/passions/energy act independently to any law. Morey could not predict the reply from chinese people. Lebron is correct. Lebron's second point is people in modernity have tools to express themselves freely, and thinking only about yourself can be absent a care to the ramifications to others and Morey in particular was ignorant to the situation. Firs to freedom of speech. It is true, in modernity, throughout china or the usa, tools are available to express yourself freely. If you go to a chinese website like Weibo, not every post is against China or for the special administrative division in china known as hong kong. Morey as general manager to a sports team , tweeting in the usa, was clearly not in any danger or had any fear of ramifications from the chinese government or usa media. The chinese goverment was too far away or doesn't have a way to manipulate his finances while media in the USA rarely attacks owners or administrators. USA media likes cheap targets like employees or players. Sequentially, Morey was free from harm. Lastly, his ignorance. The following is Morey's original quote: "Fight for Freedom. Stand for Hong Kong" End quote. Morey's quote confirms Morey's ignorance. First, freedom. For Hong Kong to be in need of freedom suggest Hong Kong is being taken over by China. Hong Kong is a special administrative division in China. Hong Kong is a part of china. Hong Kong is not an independent republic. Hong Kong is equivalent to native american reservations or washington d.c. Do people consider native american reservations in the U.S.A. as independent republics? Is washington d.c. independent from the u.s.a.? he then reaffirms the faux independence of Hong Kong. Can people outside the usa stand for the district of columbia, where the white house sits, or the Cattaraugus Reservation in new york state? Morey assertion to a need for freedom or independence concerning Hong Kong is ignorant to the situation. The problem in Hong Kong is a matter of rights or oppression from the higher governmental level. And, it is in terms of rights or oppression that Morey in not speaking on it, shows greater ignorance. First, Hong Kong was started as a piece of the British Empire. Hong Kong never had freedom as a part of the british empire, including after world war II. If you think Hong Kong had freedom in the british empire then you must think Puerto Rico is free, as a territory of the U.S.A. in modernity. No territory is ever free. Second, China had no obligation to do anything outside its own desire when the British handed hong kong over circa 1995. Sequentially, China allowed Hong Kong a special administrative status on their own desires. Now it is true, that Hong Kong represented a quarter of China's port income at that time. And it is not hard to see that a Hong Kong less valuable as a city financially makes it lose value to Beijing. After said truth, the issue of Hong Kong is a myriad of things. It is part extradition battle, hong kong doesn't have extradition to mainland china for all cases especially concerning the fiscal ruling class or hong kong/part cultural friction, the mandarin culture is growing whether forced or not in a place groomed to view cantonese as a symbol unto itself or its uniqueness/part governmental failures, from Hong Kong's leadership not working hard giving the time it was given by beijing to change hong kong's role while integrate it closer to the rest of china ASIDE the people's republic not making a greater effort to merge a special administrative division that was losing unique value/part mishandling to a simple clear murder case in my view that exposed how poorly the merger of hong kong into china has occured. But like Morey I am not Chinese, but unlike Morey I will not opine who is to blame more or less in any of said myriad things. And that is the greatest crime of Morey's statement, that lead to the third point of Lebron. LEbron's third point was that many people, not confined to merely basketball players, could had been hurt, not only financially but physically- emotionally- spiritually. People have to be more careful what they say through electronic media.Negative consequence can grow more than we can imagine. Morey's statement was used by those in or out of china to be viewed as support for HOng Kong as if Beijing is all to blame or some interloper while used by those in our out of china to be viewed as support for the people's republic as if Hong Kong is seperated and acting as traitor. Any descent youtube search and you can hear where people , chinese or related to chinese have had personal schisms based on this issue and Morey only stoked fires. In the same way the media, cnbc plus fox plus most others, in the u.s.a. showed similar fire stoking skills during current president donald trump's candidacy. We all know some of said schisms had all sorts of injuries, financial, physical, spiritual or other. Lebron's last point was simple. These governmental/cultural issues are delicate and when Lerbon speaks on a subject, he is knowledgeable. Lebron wasn't speaking on China's government or any subdivision in it, speaking of the special administrative division known as Hong Kong. Lebron was speaking on Morey and how conveying messages when popular in modenrity has to be done with care or you create negativities, all to often unknown or seperate from yourself. Lebron is totally correct or true. In the transcript, which is linked in the Description of this audiobook, is a video from a youtuber, the duran < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jTJhxJX2Cs > which is a good viewing to get a balanced view to the HOng Kong issue. It goes into detail about events that led up to this clash. I repeat Lebron said nothing wrong concerning Morey or China as a whole or any part from it. ----------------------------------------- Title: Lebron's statement part 2 A chinese man from hong kong stated < https://sports.yahoo.com/ted-cruz-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-cosign-congressional-request-that-nba-suspend-activities-in-china-021745024.html > , through unconfirmed translation that I paraphrase, that he thinks lebron is no longer great but good and that a difference exist between a great basketball star and a hero. First, assessment to lebron as a basketball player can be statistical or philosophical. the philosophical is up to each person, the statistical shows itself he is one of the greatest in this era. As for lebron being a hero. no basketball player is a hero but every athlete can speak truth. Morey wasn't a hero for his tweet, he was an interferer from a distance. Lebron wasn't a hero for his comment but he was more than a basketball player, lebron was an honest man, maybe that chinese basketball fan from hong kong can learn from lebron and be honest about hong kong going forward. One thing I know, for any team to work most positive, on the basketball court or off, the teammates must work together giving or providing to each other with as much prescience as possible from their erudition or wisdom. The chinese basketball fan position through his translated words shows he is not being prescient or his erudition or wisdom is not at a level to help him be so. < https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rOeZO8T0pg > In amendment, the following is not about lebron's quote exactly, but about the responsibility lebron referred to.... Ocasio Cortez side Ted Cruz found unity between the elephant and donkey concerning this china issue. This proves how many monied interests are involved in the usa involvement in the media position to the scenario in china between the special administrative division known commonly as hong kong and the remainder of the people's republic of china. A special administrative zone is like washington d.c. in the usa. Why are these parties, who can't come together to make positive functional legislation in the usa, able to come together for a part of china, considering the only people it will hurt are people living in china, whether citizens to china or statians, people from the usa, in china. People like cruz and cortez couldn't unite on Kaepernick but can unite on Hong Kong? that is telling < https://sports.yahoo.com/ted-cruz-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-cosign-congressional-request-that-nba-suspend-activities-in-china-021745024.html > ------------------------------------- Title: Zlatan and Major league soccer with a slice of Pulsic in US Soccer please Jimmy Conrad made a point < https://twitter.com/JimmyConrad/status/1187586483214925824 > . I paraphrase him, that he feel he can start in LA Galaxy's backline now eight year after retirement. While proving his point is not the issue, he beg a question, that he did not have space to suggest, even if he wanted. The question is simple. If LA Galaxy is supposed to be a top team in MAjor LEague Soccer, then how can a retired player make that statement. Can you imagine Jimmy Conrad saying that about Barcelona/Atletico Madrid/Manchester City/Bayern Munich/Juventus/Flamengo/River Player ? Many people have stated Zlatan is false for his comments to Major LEague Soccer. But, I recall the less vocal Thierry Henry or Andrea Pirlo or Bastian SChweinsteiger. During Henry's time in New York RedBulls or Andrea Pirlo's time in NYC Football Club or Schwiensteiger's in Chicago Fire can anyone suggest those clubs showed ambition or planning and sequentially ownership that is serious about success? Each player I just mentioned is a world cup winner, a player deemed a legend at a club in UEFA, france side arsenal, italy side ac milan or juventus, germany side bayern munich respectively. Those players wasted their time and so did Rooney at DC United or Zlatan currently still at LA Galaxy. Major LEague soccer teams are not serious about success. It is that simple. US media and the financial fan environment in the u.s.a. allows a negative sports league, Major league soccer, to be deemed a shining light. Zlatan is telling the truth. But, the problem is not Major LEague soccer. THe real problem is USSoccer. Phil Schoen asked people on his facebook page < https://www.facebook.com/officialphilschoen/posts/962578674077939?__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARDP_s0DsO_tAHjg1eDLpdXnMg3dO918I13JlgkK8499-oeOtV0WNgDHVVdiaC-Gp_tOCIzvveV4xSPdarM8EfKNwI98tQBumIRNe8x_oz4htGFx3O8oLpxXfmb6bl3H3LbYd0IRwWTTs9tQWU5ek8YvnTJdk41G4qT-tTPAn7F4lRAhHHLJIcNudNJdQIZkvmO3rmnto0Rg901GzPPjJjtWKPKuYqvnfVSIGw8EE506v6fyB1ABxBEPtKdRQ42I1nFLTLdPI-KIceSIH24DAf69wJ7XFgjprXRdkzjZ7AtjbhMgkEUHa0ssPPUDtMiA1v4-HLvImrep9CSZq48&__tn__=-R > to vent on USSoccer and I said the following. Begin quote "Mr Schoen, I do not know if the following is a vent, and it definitely will not be comprehensive as your vent. But, I remember being a teenager who played soccer every day and had no local club, no league no anything. Streetball and a disconnected secondary school team. Then fifa said the usa will have a league. In my head i thought wow! I thought NYC was going to be full of teams. So many communities, so many people who love the game. In my head I saw something closer to the brasilian set up than the nfl. Then reality hit, the ussoccer organization i did not comprehend or know aside the nfl influence i didn't realize was involved, and MLS was born. In the end of the day, ussoccer allowed the creation of MLS and then both parties went about a plan that was never going to be as good as possible. The problem is the financial potency of the parties behind ussoccer/mls aside the administrative hindrances in ussoccer/mls mean the only way change can occur is if someone has a lot of money to push them or the bureaucracy aside. That is a tall order" end quote The problem is the financial winds are in play and will take a very large amount of money to correct now, thus, USSoccer is on a road it can not leave from... concerning the men's game. you see this in the media coverage to Pulisic to MLS in the USA which is the plot the monied interests behind ussoccer planned. The monied interest behind us soccer want usa players hyped absent warrant. They want MLS teams hyped absent warrant. This controls the media narrative as most online will follow the media narrative. MLS teams have never won the concacaf champions league or its predescessor tournaments twice in a row and in truth, barely make the final. Yet, in the media MLS is a comparative league to Liga MX. You see this in UEFA, to be fair, that is why the EPL is deemed greater than la liga in spain or serie a in italy even though epl teams do not dominate the u.e.f.a. champions league. Confederation cup tournaments for clubs allow the best teams from each league to compete against each other, its results prove the quality of the clubs and by extension the leagues they are from. Liga MX is not only better than MLS, it is overwhelmingly better, and the proof is the concacaf champions league where MLS teams have a role no greater than the leagues from the fiscally impoverished countries in the caribbean or central america. BUT, US Soccer has one zone it can undo its dysfunction absent a need for finances beyond extraordinary. That place is in the womens soccer system. I watched the NWSL semifinals < https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/249-richard-murray-thoughts-version-2/page/8/?tab=comments#comment-733 > and comparing it any from the Liga MX Femenino compeititons I have watched < https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/249-richard-murray-thoughts-version-2/page/7/?tab=comments#comment-696 > NWSL is already inferior to LigaMX Femenino in a soccer playing sense. NWSL's success is the role the national collegiate athletic association has in womens soccer, as the last womens world cup had only three teams that did not have a former NCAA player. Women around the world enjoy the student athlete collegiate experience as most countries are negative or absent when it comes to female athletics in general. Sequentially, NWSL gets access to a strong amateur culture that over time will be undone, but for now is very viable. But, the NWSL project has serious problems in its planning from above. The league is not merely the third incarnation of a womens league but it has no team in california. How can a project be considered serious absent a team in california. Consider that the english womens program used to be aligned to NWSL and is now aligned to continental UEFA. NWSL has some advantages but most come from external sources, the NCAA or womens opportunity in the usa itself. The dysfunction is made most clear in the expansion franchise in Louisville. Now, for the record, I support the expansion of the national womens soccer league. But I oppose, first the lack of admittance in media that the womens program can be changed by USsoccer absent large financial entries, second the denial in those who want changes in the NWSL that all the best changes require extreme contrast to the us sporting landscape. ... As always, when I suggest change, I end with giving my suggestions. Womens soccer through fiscal revenue or cultural linkage does not have the same scenarios that allow the mens soccer model in the usa to be utilized in it. First, each state in the usa, needs to have their own womens soccer league table, that utilizes relegation and promotion, all set in the same time frame, meaning every league will be in the calendar year or between two calendar years but every league in every state must start and end around the same time, the team at the top of the first tier being the champion of the state. This one act means a team like western new york flash no longer has to be placed in a lesser role with a purposeful ownership.Teams in California do not have to worry about traveling to new york city to exist. Owners to teams can be more than millionaires or billionaires but can be open to phenotypical or genderwise or linguisitic or other racial demographics that have a smaller financial footprint than white males, in the usa. Said non white male owners also will open up youth programs in their communities through the clubs.That will allow a saturation into the multiracial society in the usa that all sports lack currently. The competitiveness will spur long term improvement in each state as nothing separates the better from the best like relegation or promotion. Second, the champions from each state will be part of a fifty team us open cup. I suggest a one leg phase in each round. Third, the name change is simple from National womens soccer league to the National Womens Soccer Leagues. ... I realize many may suggest I am asking too little or not enough. But, when you look at the most successful womens or mens programs throughout humanity, clubs have a huge role in the development of players, more than the football associations. The key is to allow clubs to grow throughout, something that has occured in UEFA or COnmebol but has been denied in russia/china/usa. The most important point is, USSoccer can make this change now, absent a huge financial investment or lose. Womens ways do not have to be mens ways. Those in the sport media need to push that Womens soccer in the usa can be improved in ways other than mens soccer and those changes do not require the fiscal cost that are highly prevalent in mens soccer. ----------------------------------------------- Title: Good Thoughts Congratulations to Aries Susanti Rahayu the female indonesian muslim hijab wearing living legend for becoming the world record holder for speed climbing https://twitter.com/AdwoaLioness/status/1186564717038444545 < https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/249-richard-murray-thoughts-version-2/?do=findComment&comment=734 > Congratulations on Chicago Red Stars side North cArolina Courage making the NWSL playoff finals Ada hegerberg broke the record for number of goals in the uefacl for a player, but like messi or cr7, they have spent most of their career healthy as the primary offensive player on the top teams. this helps achieve great goal tally heights Internacional won the final of the Campeonato Brasileiro Feminino Sub-18 against Sao Paulo, two legs aggregate 2-1 < https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/249-richard-murray-thoughts-version-2/?do=findComment&comment=725 > Ferroviaria for succeeding over Corinthians to become the Campeonato Brasileiro Feminino A-1 champions < https://aalbc.com/tc/blogs/entry/249-richard-murray-thoughts-version-2/?do=findComment&comment=729 > Eliud Kipchoge - world record holder for a marathon, under two hour in the race great success for simone biles who earned more trophies than any other gymnast in a career ----------------------------------- Title: Conclusion Thank you for listening, if you have something you want me to talk about you can message me on my A.A.L.B.C. blog as a guest.

  12. copa libertadores 10232019 #Flamengo #Gremio #Bruno #Henrique #Gabriel #Barbossa #Pablo #Mari #Rodrigo #Caio Flamengo vs Gremio 102302019 Bruno Henrique Goal- the referee in this match did his best to aid Gremio or keep gremio on the pitch, but a penalty and many fouls were let go. It seems Gremio was favored. But, like in the first leg, Flamengo kept plugging away and finally it clicked. What I love is the two former santos players: Bruno Henrique/Gabriel Barbossa made the goal, though it was started by a midfield zone tak eby Everton Ribeiro. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcWAd2scm?fid=1034:4430850876497437 Gabriel Barbossa 1- A gremio defender made a header away and Gabriel Barbossa hit it the first time https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcWHzxKnA?fid=1034:4430855461090196 Gabriel Barbossa 2- Bruno Henrique earned the penalty . Santos to Santos , brilliance. Flamengo just another team living off of those Pisces brewed in the Santos community in Sao Paulo. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcWIk19og?fid=1034:4430855976993352 PAblo MAri- it was not a free header, nor was it easy, the angle was world class, like some of the best german headers of the ball. So much power, and an odd angle in close range. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcWNPxejh?fid=1034:4430859470868212 Rodrigo Caio- the goal was brilliant, even better angle than MAri's but broke free from Gremio sleeping. The face of the gremio coach though:) https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcWOxAaW0?fid=1034:4430859869059433 In the first leg, Video Assisted Reveiwing, took four goals from Flamengo. In the second leg, Flamengo showed their mentality and continued their barrage and was sharper this time. River Plate vs Flamengo will be a great match, too bad it is a one off. Flamengo and River in the end, were better than their opponents. The idea is the best of the best.
  13. uefa champions league 10232019 #cfc #ajax #intermilan #dortmund #uefacl Chelsea vs Ajax fc michy batshuayi - pulisic was not the key. Pulisic drove to the end line and made a low cross, if anything, it was alonso reading the possibility between the low cross and batshuayi and batshuayi being prepared to score if the ball game to him was key. The pundits on tnt are really poor, their commentation panders to the usa market. if usa fans can accept a poor player, then ussoccer has more problems than not. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcTWAbT69?fid=1034:4430749223579360 Chelsea the team, look good. Willian has earned his ten shirt or spot on the team as in the past, and why Frank Lampard supported him. Pulisic is getting media shouts cause of his national team and the media power in the usa If Pulisic was playing for slovenia nothing would be said of him and he would not had been sold to chelsea. When you look at the players starting for chelsea, pulisic does not warrant over any.Tammy Abraham is the leading goal getter. Mount or Hudson-Odoi are faster and better in the attacking midfield role. Willian is the top goal getter or assist player in the squad. Jorginho is a better passer. Kovacic is a more versatile player. Pulisic does not warrant a start over them. Pulisic is like Coutinho. A player given a lot of praise in media but not in a team where the position he needs is available. Pulisic need to be in a team that need a number 10. At halftime some fans or pundits suggest woefullness in chelsea, but I oppose that. Tammy Abraham has held the ball up well most times and fought for balls to be won, even with some bad layoffs. Hudson odoi has terrorized the ajax right back even though he missed some strikes on goal. Mount has linked up well even though he hasnt cut through lines enough. Willian has offered width continually and modulated well between sectors, even though he hasn't linked up well so far. Kovacic has broke from midfield well even though he hasn't take a strike from distance. Chelsea have played well. This is the first season under lampard, and the team looks well. YEs, they are not gelled together but this is the first season where this team's blend of experience/youth is together. The fans or pundits judging them harshly are missing the point. Tammy Abraham nor Willian had a bad game. The synch in the team collectively was off today. But, pulisic side batshuayi when they came in, did not offer improvement, it was a prepared switch. Hudson-Odoi had the worst game in that he never found his sharpness though he had a ton of chances. Pulisic tripped twice in the match, absent any pressure. Inter Milan vs Borussia Dortmund Lautaro Martinez- again, Dortmund never convince me they are a big team. It is either the connection to the u.s.a. , getting young usa players, or the german media trying to boost dortmund to manipulate the conversation on the bundesliga. It is misplaced. Dortmund are not a top team in uefa. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcUhCuzTA?fid=1034:4430762586647042 sebastian esposito- he telegraphed the placement to the penalty https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcULZ5lQ7?fid=1034:4430781268096080 Candreva- he made a similar run overpowering his marker earlier, this time, his angle was to the goal and he risked not passing but scored brilliantly https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcUMWrU7g?fid=1034:4430781943085065
  14. copa libertadores 10222019 River plate vs Boca Juniors Copa Libertadores Jan Hurtado goal- the set piece made it a great opportunity if a Boca player can place the ball back into play, it was and River was caught out. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcNKt23sV?fid=1034:4430511330784995 The key was the first leg. Marcelo Gallardo grows as a coach in this tournament. I think he is very wise to remain at River until a proper opportunity present itself. I think Guangzhou evergrande or inter miami need to be his next stop. Both cause the environment will let him test how he handles being a coach outside his familiar argentina. HE has played in three countries. Argentina/France/USA. I wanted him to be the new coach of Olympique Lyonnais but based on his status, he can only be the next coach of psg, which may not happen if tuchel achieves the tout trophees season. The problem I have to UEFA clubs is non that are quality are available. Bayern is settled as coutinho/lewandowski and company are playing electric soccer. PSG is settled as tuchel seem to get wins even though the squad has various injuries all the time. Juventus just got Sarri and have not hired a non italian coach. Barcelona nor Real MAdrid nor MUFc nor MCFC seem balanced in their administration to have patience a gallardo project. Boca Juniors huffed and puffed but didn't have the goal killer gene in their boots. Thus Gallardo setting up River to absorb pressure and counter was masterful strategy .
  15. uefa champions league 10222019 Atletico madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen No felix through injury or morata to start with. Morata goal- Morata cam eon and Lodi crossed to him . As a note Lemar started the play. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcKudeV1o?fid=1034:4430385925300611 Jimenez was forced off early through injury, it wasn't terrible, and it is a test to atleti's depth. Atleti do not have a large goal getter. But between diego costa/alvaro morata/joao felix/lemar/correa Atletico MAdrid have a large load of goals when each players performs their best. Sequentially, the key is always defense first. Galatasaray vs Real Madrid Real Madrid must win this match of face exiting the uefa champions league. Galatasaray will have the day of days if we can defeat Real Madrid and win this match. Toni Kross goal- read the possibility well, galatasaray defended but in the trenches. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcLbg9fKK?fid=1034:4430412416760832 Real MAdrid attacked Galatasaray from the opening minute with such energy, it would had startled a lesser team. Galatapalace did well, but were broken through. To be fair, galatapalace had a very good opportunity to score, but the lack of sharpness in scoring is present in today's match for the turkish giants. Muslera was brilliant today and the team played as a team. 1-0 is a true score to how this game played out. Galatasaray had good chances.

  17. NWSL 2019 SEmifinals NWSL Semifinal Reign FC vs North Carolina Courage Thoughts circa 4:35 MEgan Rapinoe had a one tocuh opportuntiy at goal and she went for control, though her speed on the ball seem slow. A woman I know, Queenjospeh will say by the 31:20 both teams did a lot of huffing and puffing. I repeat, the quality of soccer in ligamxfemenil is superior to the NWSL now. ... The end of the first half had a nice opportunity, but outside that, the effect of a poor competitive model in the NWSL is telling. The end of ninety minutes was an honest draw, but then something happened, the gas was empty in the seattle tank, reflective of Rapinoe's movements all game. While North carolina seemed to get faster. North Carolina athletically are stronger than any other nwsl team and that was exposed in the extra time 3-0 goal swing by the Courage on the Reign.

After the goal, the Chicago counterattack was on. Portland's stalwart Christine Sincalir, is like Megan Rapinoe, both seem very stiff in the legs, and in need of a lesser role or another role.

  18. have you heard of the Military world games? I hadn't and then I saw a tweet from xinhua news about the current edition being held in china, wuhan to be exact. The first version was held in 1995 and it repeated every four years with a winter edition added recently. but one of the most interesting things is the trophy count. Here are the countries ahead of the usa 1 Russia (RUS) 243 174 133 550 2 China (CHN) 178 138 126 442 3 Italy (ITA) 84 82 103 269 4 Brazil (BRA) 81 71 66 218 5 South Korea (KOR) 44 38 46 128 6 Poland (POL) 38 46 50 134 7 France (FRA) 38 33 46 117 8 Germany (GER) 30 56 60 146 9 North Korea (PRK) 30 25 28 83 10 Ukraine (UKR) 29 50 58 137 11 Kenya (KEN) 25 25 23 73 When you look at this list you note a key aspect, all these countries have a large relationship to their military. Russia through the soviet era, same with china, have a huge modern culture of military service. The usa is mostly enlisted while russia/china while they have many not in the military have a huge culture of military families. Then you look below, brazil/poland/north korea/ukraine/germany, each was relatively recently a soviet country which meant the military was a huge part of the system as private ownership was disallowed or currently/recently had regimes that enforced a strengthening of their military. Italy, France, Kenya were never soviet, or had recent regimes that emphasized the military aspect in their country. But, obviosuly, a vigor in france/italy/kenya exist in their military community. In the winter games the usa is not present, as a trophy earner at all 1 Russia (RUS) 29 16 14 59 2 Italy (ITA) 25 19 18 62 3 France (FRA) 24 21 20 65 4 China (CHN) 6 11 8 25 This is the top four. It proves how large this tournament is. I think this tournament will trump the olympics.

  19. weekend 10192019 Atletico madrid vs Valencia in Spain - By 24:21 Atleti had four solid chances, the issue is not the chances but the sharpness. PArtay was taken off and then Morata was taken off, and then Arias missed a sitter, Felix then gets injured <looks like a few weeks>, and then Daniel parejo scores. A rough day, unlucky, but the season is long. Atleti won the season last time at the last day, so Simeone knows to rotate the squad and get them into this project. Pundits will hate or dislike or call coward, bbut Simeone is being wise, long term. Diego cOsta goal - Atleti had a dominance of chances but did not finish them well. The valencia player moved his arm to the ball https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IcgQJuZZg?fid=1034:4429241383611871 Daniel PArejo goal- set piece, Felix colliding with him led to the accidental injury https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Ich93pnQV?fid=1034:4429257351317897 Oblak save- the structure of the save is key, he placed the ball , lovely https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Ich9sbxM4?fid=1034:4429257779392980 Borussia Monchengladbach vs Borussia Dortmund in germany - my Fohlen started the season slow but the legs have gotten strong and we have found ourselves atop the table. I can not recall the last time Gladbach defeated Dortmund in the battle of the Borussia's this match to me is needed as Bayern had dropped points. Gladbach need this win for me, to have a chance at topping the table at the end of the season DIE FOHLEN!! VAR disallow- I admit i would had accepted the goal. The foul call is a save, but it worked in die fohlen's favor. Dortmund eventually got this goal from an assist from hazard to reus. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IchLeh9i3?fid=1034:4429281783165769 No foul from Dortmund keeper- the ball is won by Ebola, but the referee say the afters is enough for the keepers favor https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IchLV9EhZ?fid=1034:4429282261554482 Real Madrid vs Mallorca in Spain- Mallorca scored early and while the referee favored real madrid in some fouling situations.

Lago Junior goal - lovely curler , the point by phil schoen about james rodriguez over gareth bale and the lack of a defensive recovery from rodriguez was smart in this goal. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Icizj43Gr?fid=1034:4429312473125860
  20. Photos 2 Naomi Osaka - I do not know Naomi osaka personally but Naomi Osaka's choice makes sense. First most of her sponsorships come from japan. Second, the current usa environment may feel disenchanting to Naomi. Between japan and haiti, her relationship to the USA from a historical level need not be positive. japan was attacked using nuclear weapons and haiti was interferred with negatively infinite number of times, and to this day. Lastly, the immigrant stance in the usa as compared to japan is the last amount of convincing. JApan is well known to be a place hard on foreigners on outsiders, but japan doesn't make false promises to outsiders or foreigners and they don't condone attacks on immigrants in their country as opposed to the usa, where attacks on immigrants is in most places acceptable, whether from governmental entities or private. https://sports.yahoo.com/naomi-osaka-to-represent-japan-at-2020-olympics-give-up-american-citizenship-154425511.html Congratulations on egypt , winning the african handball title https://twitter.com/osasuo/status/1184459675246288896 Eliud Kipchoge - world record holder for a marathon, under two hour in the race https://twitter.com/EliudKipchoge/status/1182934782684123136 great success for simone biles , she proves what is already known long before her, that a black person has the ability to overcome an unfair environment and succeed.

  21. Venting in the USA My comment on a post where Phil schoen ask all to vent about the usmnt Mr Schoen, I do not know if the following is a vent, and it definitely will not be comprehensive as your vent. But, I remember being a teenager who played soccer every day and had no local club, no league no anything. Streetball and a disconnected secondary school team. Then fifa said the usa will have a league. In my head i thought wow! I thought NYC was going to be full of teams. So many communities, so many people who love the game. In my head I saw something closer to the brasilian set up than the nfl. Then reality hit, the ussoccer organization i did not comprehend or know aside the nfl influence i didn't realize was involved, and MLS was born. In the end of the day, ussoccer allowed the creation of MLS and then both parties went about a plan that was never going to be as good as possible. The problem is the financial potency of the parties behind ussoccer/mls aside the administrative hindrances in ussoccer/mls mean the only way change can occur is if someone has a lot of money to push them or the bureaucracy aside. That is a tall order Facebook link

The 11th edition of the competition takes place at high altitude in Quito, Ecuador, despite the political chaos ensuing in the city. For the first time, the number of teams allowed to participate has been increased to 16, divided into four groups. Teams in groups A and C will play their games in the stadium Olímpico Atahualpa, whereas teams in B and D will play in Casablanca stadium. A record prize of US$85,000 will be awarded to the champions; an increase of $30,000 on last year. In the previous ten editions of Copa Libertadores, Brazilian teams have won on seven occasions. São José are the most successful team with three titles, followed by Santos with two. Corinthians and Ferroviária, both participants of this edition, have won one title each. Outside Brazil, Colo-Colo (CHI), Sportivo Limpeño (PAR), who this year have partnered with Club Libertad, and Atlético Huila (COL) have all lifted the trophy on one occasion each. article https://sportsgazette.co.uk/a-club-by-club-guide-for-the-womens-libertadores-2019/ referral https://twitter.com/IzzyWoso/status/1182760176954368007 video space to watch live https://www.facebook.com/CopaLibertadores/ GlobOL - As someone who has found the joy of watching mexican womens soccer, I think Aulas is making a financial error. Liga MX Femenino will become a better league than NWSL in terms of play sooner rather than later and with the weak latin american stance on womens soccer, poised to make big dollars in the latin american market. I agree to Rabeeta <offsidebeet> that Aulas spends more money on womens soccer than any other club but He needs to be careful where he spends money on the ol feminine extension in the american continent. USA is a short term rise but mexico is a long term diamond. Add to the fact the rising anti statian position throughout the usa in public. I think aulas need to make the new team in canada or mexico. LAstly, a team in mexico will allow Aulas the chance to organize along the same lines as ol in france. Aulas to buy an existing NWSL franchise , even though it will be very difficult. article https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/L-ol-est-en-negociations-pour-racheter-une-franchise-americaine-de-football-feminin/1068204 referral https://twitter.com/OffsideBeet/status/1182298994481012738 some have issued with the french origins of Olympique lyonnais https://twitter.com/OffsideBeet/status/1182312125424898048 Congratulations to Ferroviaria for succeeding over Corinthians to become the Campeonato Brasileiro Feminino A-1 champions https://www.flickr.com/photos/cbf_futebol/48816191543/in/feed https://www.flickr.com/photos/cbf_futebol/48816192228/in/feed https://www.flickr.com/photos/cbf_futebol/48816192683/in/feed joy from a japanese u16 player https://twitter.com/theafcdotcom/status/1177955869809614856 female iran fans able to watch a game in the stadium in iran https://www.facebook.com/beINSPORTSUSA/posts/2742562295783575?__tn__=-R I wonder who is paying for Monica Anthony's healthcare.

  23. #Tigres vs #Necaxa #LigaMXFemenil Before the Match Tigres is third in the table, five points behind the leader. Necaxa is the bottom of the table. By table results I expect a blowout. Videos Introducing the match https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbzIyFAEB?fid=1034:4427586881940552 Trevino save 1- the strike was straight to her from the Tigres player but, it was close range and her hands are not the hardest. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbzLp5YiM?fid=1034:4427590572948358 Trevino save 2- this was the save of the game when i saw it, used a foot to knock it away. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbzMDlHTk?fid=1034:4427591109822070 Lizbeth Ovalle try - great attempt,on target, good power, the Necaxa defender saved it <apologize for not catching the number> not the necaxa keeper https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbzPmCVKO?fid=1034:4427592993075786 Lizbeth Ovalle goal - the cross was the key. It forced the Necaxa defenders to handle the situation and they did not. The situation or cross was not beyond the necaxa defenders control, but they did not control it. Ovalle was right place right time, if necaxa defenders made a mistake, and the defenders did. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbzU09R4W?fid=1034:4427595488410323 Trevino save 3- nice save, the strike was to the near post, but it came fast, and the keeper couldn't move quickly or give away the far post. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbA2dAsWy?fid=1034:4427600035291304 Belén Cruz goal- goals from crossing situations, and a Necaxa setup that has not yet figured how to handle it. To be honest, necaxa seem a little down on themselves too as losing can drain you of focus. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbA7SDzxf?fid=1034:4427604187624590 Trevino save 4- the header from the tigres player was excellently placed, but Trevino showed a great balance of perception side athleticism in this save. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbA8EvsoN?fid=1034:4427604900431461 Natalia Gómez Junco goal- no one followed her, she made a late run, all the goals necaxa let in were from crosses mishandled, to be fair, the coach to necaxa, a woman, is in a minor project and has to overcome players who probably haven't been given the best environment to grow, so I hope she can keep her job and grow this project https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbAjDANDJ?fid=1034:4427611284130907 María Fernanda Elizondo goal- Trevino saved the strike but didn't hold it and the ball fell to Elizondo. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbAjDANDJ?fid=1034:4427611284130907 Trevino save 5- a penalty earned from a rough tackle by Andrea Villalobos. Captain Liliana Mercado took it but it was read well by Trevino. https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbAkFbNN4?fid=1034:4427612143968761 end https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/IbAq1hjVJ?fid=1034:4427613108900498 Post-Match thoughts Necaxa allowed a free header from the first set piece Tigres had. Tigres did not utilize clear chances in front of the Necaxa goal. The Necaxa goalkeeper was under pressure instantly. If anything, the lack of shaprness of focus on the part of tigres was the worst sign from tigres. Champions murder ruthlessly. In the 16th minute Necaxa could had shocked Tigres but they failed to. … Trevino is getting great experience as a keeper on Necaxa. It is not easy to be on a team in midst of a losing streak, the worst in the league. But, good learning, I hope the Necaxa players in general can survive this season. … Tigres hammered Necaza in the score line but Necaxa had a few chances themselves to score and be dangerous. I think necaxa need a new season to reboot the points, but if they keep working on the defensive setup it will come eventually, Necaxa must keep their squad together and fight on. Tigres, were very sloppy in this match and prove why they are not top of the table. In winning sometimes teams expose why they don't win above all others. In losing, some teams show, they are working on being better but need more time.
  24. #LeBron or #KingJames is correct on #Morey , I will tell you why The article linked below is a source to what is wrong with sport media aside what is wrong with media in general. The author of this post ladens the entire post with a negative preposition toward the people's republic of china or lebron james while a positive preposition on the special administrative division in the people's republic of china known as hong kong or Daryl Morey. The following is Lebron James Quote: "When you’re misinformed or you’re not educated about something, and I’m just talking about the tweet itself, you never know the ramifications that can happen ... Yes, we all do have freedom of speech. But at times, there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you’re not thinking about others and you’re only thinking about yourself. I don’t want to get into a feud with Daryl Morey, but I believe he wasn’t educated on the situation at hand and he spoke. ...So many people could have been harmed — not only financially, but physically, emotionally, spiritually. Just be careful about what we tweet, what we say and what we do. Yes, we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that, too. ... I think when we talk about the political side, I think it’s a very delicate situation. Very sensitive situation ... For me personally, if any of you guys know me or always cover me, you guys know when I speak about something, I speak about something I’m very knowledgeable about" What from Lebron's quote is false. Morey is not from hong kong or china. He is not chinese,and Morey's quote suggested misinformation or miseducation. Cause morey went to the massachusetts Institute of technolgoy does not bar him from being ignorant or biased. And Lebron is correct, the usa based basketball players playing in china while such a message was being conveyed were placed in danger. If a ball player would had been hurt, Morey was to blame. And Morey's tweet was not for the betterment of anyone but Morey himself. Morey's original tweet is the following: "Fight for Freedom. Stand for Hong Kong" First, let us focus on the first part of his quote. Fight for freedom. Hong Kong is not an independent country. Hong Kong is part of China, in the same way native american reservations are a part of the united states of america. He then reaffirms the faux independence of hong kong , as stand for hong kong. Can people outside the usa stand for the district of columbia or the Cattaraugus Reservation in new york state? No, cause each of these places is a part of the united states of america , and while the overwhemling majority history from the native american in the usa or the greater american continent is from the european colonial era to now negative, none will deem their plight one that warrant an external call to freedom. Lebron said Morey spoke ignorantly as well as foolishly, and he endangered others. Lebron is correct. Moreover, Lebron stated these issues are delicate. And, again lebron is correct. Lebron didn't opine on chinese affairs, which is what the entire scenario in Hong Kong is, a chinese affair. Morey did. Lebron opined on Morey opining on CHinese affairs. And Lebron is correct, Morey was negative in every way for doing it. In parallel, the author to the article linked below was negative for speaking false to lebron's words and speaking positive to that of morey. The last crime from the article author was the use of Enes Kanter's words to falsely support his position. First, Enes Kanter's situation is in no way connected to the people of hong kong. The people of hong kong are chinese citizens living in china who have an issue with their government. Enes kanter, born in switzerland, raised in turkey, living in the usa , has been vocally critical to the turkish government from a distance. The people of hong kong are not supporting an overthrow of the chinese government, which Kanter suggested happen in turkey. LAstly, Kanter's vocalization, against Turkey while living in the usa, placed his family in danger. Kanter's choice to do what Morey did, led to the result LEbron warned of in Lebron's statement. The article author by using Kanter supported Lebron's point. ... Hong Kong is a part of china, a part of china that was never an independent state or free. Hong Kong was a part of the british empire that china reclaimed, under no supervision. I restate, china had no obligation to do anything when they reclaimed Hong Kong. The people's republic of CHina chose to make Hong Kong a special administrative division and allow Hong Kong's legal system to differentiate between the remainder of China. This was an allowance given to Hong Kong by China, and no one else. China itself allowed Hong Kong the freedom they have now, not britain, not the usa. Hong Kong's leadership did not use the time given to them, from being a major source of china's economy <near 25%> to currently being circa five percent or less, to change the role or purpose of hong kong fitting where china is now. And, the legal scenario that prompted this tide. When a chinese man married a woman in hong kong, murdered her in taiwan, and then used the extradition laws in hong kong to slip away from the people's republic of china's jurisdiction. Hong Kong made this problem for Hong Kong. This has nothing to do with freedom or oppression or international ways. https://www.sfchronicle.com/warriors/article/LeBron-James-comments-on-China-an-14535304.php First Amendment Ocasio Cortez side Ted Cruz found unity between the elephant and donkey concerning this china issue. This proves how many monied interests are involved in the usa involvement in the media position to the scenario in china between the special administrative division known commonly as hong kong and the people's republic of china. A special administrative zone is like washington d.c. in the usa. Why are all these parties able to come together against china, considering the only people it will hurt are ball players in china from the usa. thoughts anyone, sometimes sports issues go into the realm of government, ala kapaernick, but unlike kapaernick why such union, and this latino blend of cruz and cortez... again thoughts? https://sports.yahoo.com/ted-cruz-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-cosign-congressional-request-that-nba-suspend-activities-in-china-021745024.html Second Amendment A chinese man from hong kong stated, through unconfirmed translation that I paraphrase, that he thinks lebron is no longer great but good and that a difference exist between a great basketball star and a hero. First, assessment to lebron as a basketball player can be statistical or philosophical. the philosophical is up to each person, the statistical shows itself he is one of the greatest in this era. As for lebron being a hero. no basketball player is a hero but every athlete can speak truth. Morey wasn't a hero for his tweet, he was an interferer from a distance. Lebron wasn't a hero for his comment but he was more than a basketball player, lebron was an honest man, maybe that chinese basketball fan from hong kong can learn from lebron and be honest about hong kong going forward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rOeZO8T0pg
  25. weekend 10/5/2019 real madrid vs granada in spain- this real madrid doesn't have a super goal getter so the team has to score goals together to raise the goal tally on a day. In Courtois real madrid don't have a keeper that reacts fast enough, in areola, they don't have a keeper assured in his motions enough, as psg knew. Navas was better in both categories than either. So Real madrid don't have a spear point player or a dominant keeper for their galavanting style. eden hazard's first goal for real madrid https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Ia8P67XW6?fid=1034:4424171237916816 Luka Modric goal - placement side power, lovely strike, a true nochancer https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Ia8YNrbtm?fid=1034:4424176854074642 Duarte goal- this made it 3-2 for Granada https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Ia90VfIej?fid=1034:4424178980606370 james rodriguez goal - the spanish wide players run is the work, james is the finish, but it concluded the game and proved my point about real madrid offensively https://www.weibo.com/tv/v/Ia98A7FwR?fid=1034:4424182990330126 PSG vs Angers in France- Angers like Granada are looking to stay up, not challenge psg for the title. The angers coach said it best, i paraphrase a translation, defeating psg is not merely a step up but a staircase. Navas clean sheet, neymar score and is the talisman. great team balance in the squad even allowing the tinkering from tuschel, which ranieri would be accussed of negatively. Administratively, the onyl question is, why did it take years for psg to replace blaise matuidi?

Luckily the season in turkey is long. weekend 10/6/2019 Chelsea vs Southampton in england- the first half set the table, willian set up the second goal, kante made the third, game was over.Chelsea currently sit fifth in the table.
