Random happenings around Europe

One of the games before that was Pontevedra vs Mallorca that finished 3-0. Pontevedra played some real attractive football, first two goals were scorchers and the third decent. As for Real Madrid, Vinicious is a weapons grade tonto, he’s going to need some psychological remedy or one day he’ll push it too far.

West Ham sacked Lopetegui.

If it was Sevilla… he’d be here for another 2-3 seasons.

That guy is a busted flush. He isn’t lasting 5 minutes anywhere now.

If he accepted a contract till the end of the season, would yall take Lopetegui right now?

Dmitrovic played one of his best games, I watched the game. Griezman with the most horrible penalty failure.

Did you think it was a penalty? I couldn’t believe they gave that.

I thought it was a very weak penalty decision.

I watched Cádiz Levante last week purely for the number of ex Sevilla players on show, as it turns out Iborra didn’t play while Ivan Romero, Carlos Álvarez and Carlos Fernandez didn’t stand out. It was the 35 year old Cádiz central defender Fali who impressed. I’ve been watching him with admiration for a year or so, he’s an old fashioned central, pure defender, crisis management type. Could play to the left of Badé.

Come to Kosovo!

We adore the US and its people because of the 1999 war (the majority of population). Map Shows Biggest Fans of US Around The World - Newsweek

But at the same time the stability of our country is heavily dependent on the US and its global politics.

As an American, you will most likely not be allowed to pay (at least the first couple/few times) in restaurants, bars etc. directly from the managers/owners.

Cost of living is relatively cheap, especially compared to US or western Europe. Doing business is easy (procedures and tax wise), especially digital business.

There’s a Bill Clinton big statue (+ boulevard named after him) and a Madeleine Albright bust in the capital city, Prishtina,… but we also love George Bush (independence in 2008), Biden (stability) and Trump (brought us Israel recognition and diplomacy relations).

So… best of both worlds :laughing:

If you need more info, let me know. But there’s no place like home!

An interesting fact though… there’s an increasing number of people, mainly retired or those that are not physically dependent for their incomes (working remotely etc.) that are living in Kosovo and Albania. Albanian riviera is a 3 hours drive from Prishtina and it is stunning. The farther south you go the more beautiful.

You have sparked my interest! I am going to check into Kosovo! Any country that has a Bill Clinton statue could potentially be a country I call home!

Not getting into politics, but there was a rumor back then that Bill was loved by both Democrats and Republicans… which is rare nowadays :laughing:

I just heard about this, 7 months ago Ajax played Panathinaikos in Europa League.
Ajax won away and lost at home causing a penalty shoot-out with a final score of 13-12, the largest scoring shoot-out ever and it lasted 34 minutes.

Talking of penalties

Turkish Second Division:

  • Usakspor keeper saves 90th min penalty.
  • Booked for coming off his line.
  • Penalty is retaken and saved again!
  • Keeper booked again for leaving his line, sent off!
  • Defender goes in goal.
  • Saves the penalty!
