    It will be funny when the EPL is pressured into some of these changes. They’ll still fuck them up of course, but funny that Yanks had to solve their problems.

    Not sure if serious or not, but I will be. I like it. I like it a lot more than the penalty spot.

    Does anyone know when the full Serie A schedule is usually released? I’m going to be in Italy from August 20-30 and told a friend that’s coming with that we could try and catch a game.

    In researching, I found this:

    “The 2024-25 Serie A season is set to kick off on the weekend of August 17, but we won’t know the exact dates for Week 4 games until after August 30.

    The confirmation came from Andrea Butti, who is Head of Competitions and Operations Serie A, when he spoke to Telelombardia.

    The next campaign will be even more packed than usual, because the expanded Champions League format involves 36 teams and eight games per squad in the first phase alone.

    Butti confirmed that the 2024-25 Serie A season will begin on the weekend of August 17-18 and that three rounds will be played on August 24-25 and August 31-September 1 before the break for international duty.”

    We’ll be in Florence during that 8/24-25 window, so hoping the club there has a home game. I’m not a huge soccer guy, but my buddy is, and I think the experience of going would be awesome.

    Here’s the stadium for the club there:

    Most leagues put them out a month or two out. So somewhere around June or July

    Also, Fiorentina are usually a pretty decent team

    I figured as much, which is a bit of a problem. We have a pretty packed agenda already so we’d likely need to cancel something to go. By July, everything on the itinerary will be booked. Guess we’ll just have to play it by ear, but I hope we can make it happen.

    you're aware that its a commemorative souvenir thing right? Much like every team here prints t shirts and shit for every bowl game/playoff series etc.

    it's not meant to be a house divided license plate

    For a fella who was renowned for sleeping in his spare time and appeared very laid back, he is an incredibly volatile manager. I suppose he did play under Jose.

    Didn’t he break some record for most goals allowed in a career recently? Maybe most by a Mexican keeper ever? Feel like I saw that somewhere.
