It had its moments mate, But woll be totally different with a proper central midfield.

Decided I shall call him Mat.

We got Jorgi, Harry and Mat!

Still can't believe we signed my son Mateo Kovacic. Chelsea really signed one of my favorite players in footy. 

Time for Sarri to fix Kovacic after Zidane ruined his development. Madness incoming this season.

I hope Sarri finally will replace Alonso with Emerson so when we are fully fit our left side is Emerson - Kovacic - Hazard. That is a pretty terrifying left side of skill, trickery, and pace.

You will be doing your nut then wont you?

I can see right now before he touches a ball he will be amazing with the wee baldy man and Jorgi

I felt the same when Cesc joined us as he was a long time fave player of mine.

Serie A is quite popular in New Jersey actually because of the Italian Americans and in Miami La Liga of course.

Yes, I saw US telecasts, especially last year, where they had preseason games in NYC and it was crazy how many Juve and AC Milan, and Inter, and Napoli, and Roma fans there were at the pre game parties. This year, over 109,000 people watched Manure v Real Madrid in Michigan for a friendly!

109,318 soccer fans filled Michigan Stadium to watch Manchester United and Real Madrid

How great would it be if soccer actually became a major major sport in the US. Only important countries without acceptable football national teams are US, China and India right now, let's hope that changes in the future so the World Cup can be regarded as a true World Cup

Football is growing quite a bit in the states. Any day that I wear a Chelsea shirt, there will be 4-5 random people who acknowledge it. If the sport continues to grow here, the Premier League is going to see even more money go into the league!

[SadistChicken 143]

Do you guys think that he is ready to start after the Arsenal game?

 

Or even as a sub late in the game?

 

Got to admit the hype is increasing for me!

Their American football is horrid. It just grinds the players into dust over the course of their short careers. It is so incredibly violent and 99% of the millions who play never make a dime off it, or very little. Many in their university do not even earn a degree, which is free for them. The big schools literally profit tens of millions of USD and the players get shite other than ruined bodies in thousands of cases. It is like modern indentured servitude.

To each their own eh.

Like at one time boxing Was MASSIVE. Till the mid/late 1990s when we had some amazing fighters I could name you all the boxers in any weight class. But then MMA came along with the UFC and everyone thought WTF! A more violent boxing! And boxing began to take a back seat/ Yeah the big fights kept being televised  but it wasn't the same anymore. And now MMA is massive.

I think sports are like everything. They run in cycles. Like football teams. They go up and down.

Just look at the crowds and television audiances US football gets. The sport prints money.

But yes some of its players could earn more considering. Tho last I saw the average NFL guy gets $5mill compared to the likes of Matthew Stafford who gets $27mill a year  But sportsmen generally spend it like water and don't invest so that's why they don't end up with much. Awwww!

EDIT:::

I just read that the average life expectancy of a NFL player is between 53 and 59 FUCK!

Being in North America, its been interesting lately. The violence and concussion issue is definitely messing with people but it is so ingrained in American culture(mainly middle/southern america) that they just churn out new players every year. The biggest thing is contracts are not guaranteed, so once a player becomes expendable he is gone. Especially with Trump going at the players for their protests and negative publicity its curious to watch their fall vs the rise of the NBA. Either way every NFL team is essentially worth 1B plus and are cranking out new stadiums, Americans don't care they just want their football.
