Hopefully this starts a good trend for all of our injured young stars.

Nevermind. After looking into the Weah comeback I noticed the date on the link I shared is a few weeks old. This was published a few days before he tore his hamstring again.Hopefully this starts a good trend for all of our injured young stars.

Gio Reyna formally commits to the MNT for his international career. Apparently he was eligible for England, Portugal, or Argentina in addition to the US (born in England, Claudio is of Argentinian origin, and Portugal because he has a Portuguese passport).

Yeah. Made me happy when he didn't last long for Italy. IIRC his only glory for the Italians was a few PKs in the Olympics. Darn that guy.I loved his quote about it all. Completely different from that [ profanity ] Rossi. Will forever harbor disdain towards him and his comments.
Goals everywhere this AM!
The two Europa League ties involving Italian sides are postponed (but yet Wolves-Olympiakos is not), Arsenal are in self-quarantine after coming into contact with Olympiakos’ owner (who tested positive for CoVID-19 and also owns Nottingham Forest), and now a Juventus defender tested positive today. Boys, this season may be cancelled. Would suck for Liverpool, if, after waiting 30 years for a league title, the season in which they top the table by 20+ points gets postponed/nixed.

If that were to happen I'd think they have already earned the trophy.The two Europa League ties involving Italian sides are postponed (but yet Wolves-Olympiakos is not), Arsenal are in self-quarantine after coming into contact with Olympiakos’ owner (who tested positive for CoVID-19 and also owns Nottingham Forest), and now a Juventus defender tested positive today.

That’s why they’re so mad in Italy because if the league ends up being canceled, Juventus wins yet again despite Lazio offering a legitimate challenge this year.

Italy definitely shouldn't award Juve the title. I haven't looked at the schedules each team has played, but with this much left in the season there is sure to be too much imbalance in schedule difficulty to name a champ with only 1 point difference. I'd create a championship game between the two sides in an empty stadium. Quarantine each side for 2 weeks to ensure they're all healthy and not at risk of getting anyone on their team or the other team sick, then give them 2 weeks to train before the match and play it on TV to an empty stadium. Winner takes all.Yeah, I'd be OK with the PL awarding Liverpool the title if the season can't finish all 38 rounds, because they're 25 points clear (26 if you count goal difference) with nine matches remaining. They would have won it had the season played out and are the best league side this year (IIRC, they only need six more points to clinch). Italy, though... they couldn't award Juve the title, could they? With Lazio a point back and ahead on goal difference?
Will be interesting to see if the league seasons are able to complete, with the Euros due to start June 12.
Well well well.....probably still gonna be a ridiculous shizzle show that always manages to make the wrong decision/fall on its face...
