I know there's been talk of a Liga MX/MLS merger in the future, but how that would work with 30 or so MLS and 20 or so Liga MX teams, I don't really know. Definitely pretty crazy how far MLS has come from being sort of a gimmick league in the beginning.

ugly scenes at Nice-Marseille yesterday. Nice fans threw stuff at Marseille players and hit Dimitri Payet with a water bottle, who then angrily threw a couple of bottles back at the fans. Nice fans then went on to the pitch and there were several altercations between players and fans. Game was ultimately suspended after Marseille players refused to play.

will be interesting to see the fallout from this. Payet will undoubtedly be punished for throwing the bottles into the stands, but there have to be real consequences for Nice and their "fans". Inexcusable.

Dont now why this is happening Nice and Marseille aren't really rivals. It also happened to Marseille in Montpellier last week, but they continued on.

He had a great debut on the weekend.

Got a goalie sent off, and two assists...not a bad start.

Would be good business for them.

Sign Messi on a Free, sell Mbappe for $160M.

Mbappe only has one year left on his deal, so need to sell now or else he can walk next year.

€160m with one year left would be exceptional business, but the desperation of wanting that UCL and the fact they are one of the three clubs who could ever afford to walk away from that money and not even care makes me think they'll simply not sell unless Madrid go way over the top.

Then next summer bring in Ronaldo on a free transfer and go after Haland

Tomorrow a team from Moldova (kind of) could enter the Champions League. They started from the first qualifying round.

Monaco would have gone through on away goals using last years rules.

With Benfica winning, and Monaco losing, Portugal lept France, in UEFA coefficient standings.

So Messi, isn’t even playing in a top 5 European league.

Pretty even split, half these groups are really good and half of them are boring as ####.

It would be lovely to see Barcelona get ragdolled by Bayern. Again.

And Manchester United getting decimated by Young Boys.

Its a long shot, granted, but the news headlines basically would write themselves.

That’s a fun group for Liverpool. Atletico can be a bit boring to watch sometimes, but it should be an extremely challenging group.
