Stupid of Casemiro

I keep reading this like it's the name of an Italian duke in the 14th century.

Manchester City executives were left stunned as Premier League legal papers were served at 10.15am this morning, announcing the charges over alleged financial rule breaches which could lead to a points deduction or expulsion from the top flight.

The charges against the reigning champions relate to financial information regarding revenue, details of manager and player remuneration, UEFA regulations, profitability and sustainability and co-operation with Premier League investigations.

A statement from the league said alleged breaches were committed from September 2009 to to the 2017-18 season and will now be referred to an independent commission.

Is this normal cheating or Serie A level cheating?

Typical Daily Mail

"It is worth reminding readers that the people in charge are dirty Arabs not saintly English men, or even saintly but temporarily misguided Russians like Roman Abramowitz."

Based on the report from Sky Sports, mostly regular cheating. No match fixing and only one club involved.

In the end it's unlikely City will face any meaningful punishment. Much of the evidence seems to originate from hacked documents, which City will argue can't be proven to be legitimate.

So University of Toledo will get a 5 year bowl ban for it?

The United States of Leeds have sacked Jesse Marsch. I wonder how psyched Weston McKennie is with this news.

The United States of Leeds have sacked Jesse Marsch. I wonder how psyched Weston McKennie is with this news.

I, for one, can't wait for the people who called Gregg Berhalter tactially inept, married to a system and a failed club manager to now tell us why Marsch will be a great hire for the USMNT...

Sheffield United vs Wrexham in an FA Cup replay in a few minutes. It will be on ESPN2 and ESPN+. Winner plays Tottenham.

[ticapnews]

A 2-0 break for Sheffield and don't even get a shot on target. Still scoreless after half an hour.

[ticapnews]

ESPN complaining that Parkinson has only put out half his usual lineup against Sheffield and is resting quite a few (including Ollie Palmer) but it seems to be working. Scoreless at the half.

[ticapnews]

Merde.

[ticapnews]

Mullin wins a kick from the spot and converts it to square the match after an hour.

[ticapnews]

We don't always get a Hollywood ending.

Sheffield score the winner in the 94' and then another in the 96' to advance 3-1. Tottenham will go to Bramall Lane.

[Jimjamesak]

Oh darn. We won’t see soccer on ESPN for months now…
