    So is there a solid online “news site” for soccer? Like a version of The Athletic or ESPN where all they do is cover world soccer news?

    that said… which is the one you like best? Subscription cost is ok.

    I like my FotMob app for news … it’s ok. Goal.com has too many damn ads but the content is usually solid…

    With the amount of good soccer writers on The Athletic, I’d just say them

    I just wish they had a soccer “front page”… the only way I know to navigate the content is to add all the leagues, competitions and teams I’m interested in and click on them one by one

    True though you could give it a test run just adding a few authors that cover those leagues/teams

    That’s funny you hate that because I really like that the content is divided up.

    Isn't surprising at all based on his personality, he could've been up there with Ronaldo/Messi but just didn't have the same 24/7 drive.

    The legend is that Ronaldo is 24/7 and Messi is basically just between the lines, but any four lines. Wants to destroy in practice just as much as games. Obviously it’s more than that but not some guy that’s in the gym two hours before practice and two hours after.

    There was a famous bust up with him and I want to say Pep or maybe Enrique where they basically asked him to stop eating pizza and drinking Pepsi every day, and Messi was like absolutely not, I want my pizza and soda.

    Italy, at least in the years I've been paying attention, is particularly un-homogeneous when it comes to player nationalities.

    Kvara even makes some really questionable decisions at times but they just create so many chances it doesn’t show.
