The Global Football Thread

Liverpool 2 - Bournemouth 1 just 9 more points needed to clinch the Premier League title.
 
Ligue 1 canceled a match involving PSG due to Corona. Several sports events took place without fans....
 
England v Italy and Denmark later this month looks like they will be cancelled. I would imagine most international games won't go ahead in March. If your going to cancel these matches then how can the Europa League or Champions League continue? I don't see how we're supposed to have a Multi Nation hosted Euro 2020 this summer either.
 
Times Newspaper...

Looks like a lot of EFL Clubs could go out of business in the Lower leagues because no ticket money is a Death Knell.

The 2019-2020 season will NOT be postponed, but all football matches in England will be moved behind closed doors.

Suggestion that Govt/ Prem League/EFL tomorrow may announce that the season won't be postponed but will play all remaining games BCD. Season ticket holders can stream games. No games in pubs.

Forest will probably finally reach Playoff Final and I can't go.

Attending Football helps me with my Mental Health so i'm not looking forward to this :(

The big leagues in Europe have suspended their upcoming matches until further notice. The same goes for big sports events in the whole world, due to Corona.
 
Ligue 1 in France has declared the season over and PSG champs. Sergio Aguero says Premier League players are "scared" about returning to play.
 
They still quarreling about a restart of Bundesliga. Without fans. I don't expect any big sports events taking place anymore this year.

Cavani wants to change the club, going to Atletico Madrid. I don't know how this could work with all the people dying there. I wouldn want my family moving into the middle of a crisis.

And think ov all the travelling involved with soccer etc. They are already discussion to cancel the next Olympic Games without any further postponing. The next two years will be boring, with only Trash shows on TV..... Sigh.....:shrug:
 
Bundesliga restart today!

Sky is currently showing match day 26 live - Free TV, with Dortmund vs. Schalke as highlight.

No fans of course.

Very surreal watching Dortmund and Schalke without fans. You hear the players and managers yelling. Sounds more like they're in an empty gym than a big old stadium.

I'd probably just turn off the sound of the TV. That might make it slightly less jarring. (Maybe?)
 
I did exactly that. Read a Trek novel while watching TV - won't do that tomorrow during the Bayern match. Lewandowski is always worth doing a double take.

Hmm, Lewandowski is not really my type... however, if Arjen Robben still played for Bayern/at all I'd definitely have a look, so, I understand. :angel:
 
Robben is great. Unforgettable his goal against Dortmund in the Champions League final.

Just read an article about soccer/sports without fans.

There is only one viable solution: holographic fans.....:D
 
It wasn't exactly Robben's soccer skills I always enjoyed glancing at, ahem... :lol: but he was an excellent player, no argument here! I'm still sad he stopped playing.

I wonder why no one has thought of simply putting recorded fan chants over the speakers? I mean surely those exist somewhere? They're doing something similar with some late night shows where there's no audience at the moment - they play recorded laughs and applause and all.
