    FFP is being relaxed anyway because of the pressure on teams with Arab oil pimps running them. Inter are always too desperate and will overpay the wages and be in trouble down the line

    What's going on with the new stadium in Milan is that happening?

    Also, didn't Mexico basically send a reserve squad to the Copa America?

    The stadium process is one that takes years, at least in Italy. Roma & Udinese are the only two teams in Italy that will have new stadiums guaranteed. Milan still need to go through local council, city council, region council and then the Italian council and get approval from each before they can begin building. The plan is for Milan to build their own stadium while Inter will redo the San Siro and own it.

    Jesus that's crazy. Italian stadiums are in desperate need of restoration and upgrades too, a lot of them just flat out aren't safe.

    I suppose nobody watching the women's World Cup? Australia beat Brazil this morning to go to the quarter finals, best result any of our teams male or female have done.

    Yeah the stadium situation sucks but if you see the stadiums they are building (especially Roma) it will all be worth it in the long run. The Roma stadium will be ready for the 2017 season.

    Ahh good ol bureaucracy. The new stadium for Juventus did them wonders, in the old Del Allpi they rarely filled it up and the atmosphere was dire, now though things have changed greatly. Stadiums with running tracks are just not good for football.

    Parma have been declared bankrupt, no buyers so they will now play in Serie D. Just wow, they once had one of the best squads in Europe, its kinda shameful that now they are in this state.

    Yeah that sucks but the same thing happened to Fiorentina & Napoli and they both bounced back.

    Why do Italian soccer fans and other foreigners fly the Confederate flag?

    The South and North of Italy are very different and always at odds, they are almost like two different countries.

    A lot of Soccer teams tend to have some sort of political affiliation that goes with them. For example Lazio an Italian team is pretty much known to be a team whose supporters are largely fascists. Other teams in Italy like Livorno are seen as socialist teams. In Italy this relationship is most evident, Inter Milan are seen as the poor mans team while AC Milan are the team of the elites. It all comes to the history of the club and how it was formed back in the day, so some teams would be formed by factory workers and others by the cities rich. So it turns into a right wing vs left wing thing, Fascists vs Communists, etc etc.

    Not just in Italy though its throughout Europe. Its more glaring in the Mediterranean countries where the people have nothing else to do but squabble over football and politics. The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona is as much political as it is to do with Sport.

    Brazil out of the Copa America, weird that they go straight to penalties after the 90 minutes. The path has been paved for Argentina to win it i guess. I think the tournament itself has been a sham, the pitch quality is poor so the games suffer. The Refereeing has been awful, i didn't watch the game but saw later the Chile - Uruguay game. What the Chilean player did to Cavani, i mean your asking to get your ass kicked for that, then the guy falls to the ground and Cavani gets a red card. It was just a fucking disgraceful decision.

    Lmao @ Paraguay losing 6-1 in the semis.

    How on earth have Brazil gotten to the point where they first gets completely crushed in the World Cup, then gets knocked out of Paraguay in the Copa??

    A bit mad that I haven't been able to see more of this years copa america, but I mostly work night shifts every day and because of the difference in time zones these matches are mostly around 22:00-03:00, which is a bummer. Looking forward to seeing the final on saturday though

    Yea that was pretty weird seeing Paraguay getting smashed that way.
    Dunga is the worst coach for Brazil right now. They should've kept Scolari or gotten someone else, heck maybe a foreign coach like Gus Hiddink(I hear he left the Nederlands team). Brazil played like utter crap ! that handball from Silva cost them the game.
    How Brazil is on the Decline is beyond me !! without Neymar they are done for.
    Brazil was pumping out talent like crazy! I guess the factory is shutting down?
    Before the Brazil team that would feature at the Copa america was the B team. Now its the 1st team that is featuring at the Copa America.

    Im also disappointed in Mexico, Colombia and Uruguay.
    I really thought they would've made further and done better

    Argentina have the squad to win it but Chile wont be easy to beat since they have home advantage

    Third place is Peru vs Paraguay

    In general its hard to catch the Copa America!
    I usually stream the game online.
    Its easier to catch the women's world cup games on TV
