Re: UEFA Europa League 24/25


I watched the last 20 minutes of the Rangers Spurs match.

OMG the Spurs defense is woeful. They always look like they will be scored against. The attack looks ok. Ange has big problems, and I suspect he will be gone soon.

Disgraceful Murdoch rags. The CrowTiser has them 9 pages back in the sports pages, with the Australia B v. Pakistan crickette T20 game back only 4 pages.

The OZ broadsheet has 3 lousy paras previewing the game, while Marco Monteverde (soccer writer) concentrates on the T20 game.

Crystal Palace 1, Totteringham 0.

Dumb referee and VAR missed the fact that the sprinting right-back (White?) would have made it so that it wouldn’t have been the ‘last defender stopping a goal-scoring chance’ scenario.
