It's especially satisfying because the Spanish national team is basically Barcelona plus a few extras. So it's like we got back to back wins against Barcelona twice in quick succession (sorry Caldente!).

And that pleases me because fuck Barcelona!

it's especially satisfying as well cuz everyone kept writing us off for both this and for our UWCL. some call it luck, but it's just us being so damn good defending

Yeah commiserations to Mario.... We'll just have to win the WSL for her sake 🤣

Spanish media is now going after Chloe Kelly for apparently diverting her post-penalty victory run past their keeper and maybe making some sort of hand gesture...

Thing is, it looked to me like Cata Coll (their keeper) made at least one hand gesture towards an England player when she saved their penalty. So what's good for the goose is good for the gander, no?

Also, I think they are reading too much into it. To me it looked like Kelly just wanted to go across to the corner flag to celebrate with the England fans.

Spanish media needs to stop being so salty. Their players played a good match, but just like a few weeks ago in the WCL final, they finished second. Coming from a gooner, there's no shame in that after such a good run.

So Liverpool are getting Isak. How do we deal with it?

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

We need Eze.

Honestly if they get Isak and it means they can't afford a proper CB I'll take that deal, with Isak's injury proneness and how much he'll cost they might get fucked anyway.

But man I'm really starting to hate this sport sometimes. Stupid amounts of money being thrown around. and of course the Kroenkes aren't gonna let us do shit.

I'm gonna cry bros

Jesus is ALSO going on loan - none of these exits will help with PSR.

I mean, our PSR is fine rn. Jesus going on loan (if the deal gets done) clears up a squad spot and a bunch of wages.
