EPL and European Football season 2017-18

It looks like an ankle injury. 4 months should be enough for it to heal, no??

If he tore his Achilles it could be close. Hopefully it’s just a high sprain

From Globo (I dont know how reliable this is though):

GLOBO:

After tests conducted at the hospital Neymar has no serious injury, no fracture, and no severe sprain. He has left the hospital & will come back tomorrow for future tests

Thought this was about time, since the EPL starts this weekend with the Charity Shield.

You didn't put an end date. LOL! I like Ya Ya Toure. Best name in the league.

You're both wrong. The highest paid pro footballer is currently Mathieu Flamini.
He plays for Getafe but has a business called GFBiochemicals on the side that gives him a net worth of around a billion:

Pft you said nothing about networth. You said paid.

I shouldve said wealthiest footballer. Oh well.

We dont really know how much yearly salary he's taking out, but his company is worth between 16 and 20 billion Euro
In Dutch: https://www.ad.nl/offside/mathieu-f...ereld-verdient-zijn-geld-in-limburg~a09e1481/

Even if he only takes out between 1 and 5% of stock in cash every year, he's easily the highest earning pro footballer

Neymar out for 2 months. Should be fit for WC

Hope so. Always want the best players there, which is why I am annoyed that Italy ain't at the world cup.

And in Spain Barca only 4 points ahead of nr 2. Real is out the race and will be lucky to qualify for CL next year.

Barca lead down to 5 points thanks to a totally incompetent ref. Big game on Sunday.. a possible title decider.

Tottenham vs Juve and Real vs PSG shows CL experience is worth far more than money.

Roma into the QF for first time since 20 years or so.

Go Strootman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has the throw in rule changed? Used to be ball from behind the head and both feet in contact with the turf until release. Many sloppy throws.....

Hope for a good Barca/ Chelsea game this afternoon. Good Sevilla/Man U yesterday.

Nope, one of my pet peeves with the modern game.. Refs should really be hitting down on this crap.

That was a terrible tie overall

 

[PeteEU]

Going to be interesting to see the draw tomorrow. 3 Spanish teams, 2 Italian and 2 English and Bayern.

Roma and Liverpool are "weakest" teams but I bet City gets Barca.....

Champions League Quarter Finals

Barcelona vs Roma - Should be a Barca victory.

Juventus vs Real Madrid - Crap shoot. Depends on what Real Madrid team turns up.. the one that smashes teams or the one that looses to a bottom of the table team.

Sevilla vs Bayern - Bayern should take this... Sevilla are leaky as hell and Bayern are the top scoring team in Europe I believe.

Liverpool vs City - Tricky one. Liverpool are the only team in the PL to beat Man City this seasons, so there is that. However it is a strong City team.

Will be some great games that is for sure, with England having 1 semi finalist no matter what. Guess that is a small victory considering the slaughtering English teams have taken since the group stages.

Sevilla are weaker than Liverpool. They were awful vs United but lucky for them United were worse.

True. They were the weakest team, followed by Roma and Liverpool.

 

[Nilly]

What a game.

City'll always be small fry when it comes to Anfield.

Still 90 minutes left.. City can score 4 at home..
