The Women's Champions League Final is on. Lyon is about to win their 4th straight title over Barca this time (they went up 4-0 in the first 30 minutes). It is a neutral site (Budapest) and there are 22,000 fans there. The average salaries on the two teams are 166,000 euros for Lyon and 100,000 for Barcelona. It's similar for basketball in Europe too.

 

I was part of a Professional Women's hockey panel recently and the ideas are just insanely repeated. The Euro model can't work for women's sports in North America (sports just aren't branded the same way. example we have Toronto Maple Leafs & Toronto Raptors whereas in Europe all the soccer, hockey and basketball clubs work under the same brand with an incredible amount of saved administrative and marketing costs. Plus Europe's set up works so much better for a domestic to National to continental formula). I just think a single sport hybrid could somewhat work, at least for hockey.

 

Anyway it was a better played game than most Women's World Cup games. I honestly don't mind watching women's sports at most levels and I think it can work in North America

6-0 to secure the treble.... what a season for Man City!

[Bobthe4th]

So Man City only need a left back in the summer. Best case they get Alex Sandro from Juventus for £50 odd million. Worst case = Danny Rose to reunite with Kyle Walker.

 

I think Liverpool need a new midfielder (though Oxlade Chamberlain being fit will help) and a few squad players (fullbacks and a forward if Sturridge leaves) to challenge again.

If you're going to post the link rather than actually embedding it, you might as well point it to the actual time (this forum software doesn't seem to allow the embedded video to skip):

 

Also, I miss watching him play for Vancouver so much.

Alex Sandro is average now. I'm a Juve fan.

 

I think he’d be good in England, but yeah he hasn’t shown the form of 2 years ago. Juventus will definitely be willing to let him go now and they keep getting linked to Marcelo (to reunite with Ronaldo).

 

Your team is another squad of superstars, I wonder if you can get Pogba back?

Champions League final today - Harry Kane returning from injury to start his first game for Spurs for 2 months. Semi final hattrick hero Lucas Moura will likely come on for him at some point - apparently it's really hot in Madrid today so can't see Kane lasting the full game.

How long are these international games?

 

Netherlands are up 2-1 and it says they are still playing at min 107?

[jays4life19]

3-1. They are playing in min 119 now.

 

I really don't understand this game other than which team will win each match.

1-1 at full time so they play 30 minutes of extra time (in two 15 minute halves).

[Bobthe4th]

We were rubbish today, it's been a long season and the players looked tired.

[jays4life19]

I trust everyone is extra excited for the women's World Cup?

[jays4life19]

It appears the South Africa women's team does not believe in wearing Bra's and the power of the nipple is very strong.

 

SO LIVE BET ON SOUTH AFRICA. 3.32 ODDS.

The TSN panel is tearing team USA apart for celebrating all of the goals. And I think I agree, there's nothing wrong with continuing to score and keep competing but celebrating after it's already a ridiculous blowout is pretty classless and shows poor sportsmanship.

The whole "canada would never do that" narrative the night after Toronto cheered after KD getting hurt is just lol.

Yeah that part is dumn, we're no better than anyone in that position.

[TheHurl]

Blowouts suck, but celebrating when you score is fine no matter the score. I suppose I should watch the video first cause if they are running up into the crowd and doing choreographed dances with the crowd...that's a bit much.
