Was this stretch from August to December different in 2013, 2003, 1993? Up until this point of the season, I’m failing to see what “extra” games there are.

Well intentioned but this sort of helps muddy the waters on the fact that Oxfam currently has no ability to restore any of the aid they normally provide exactly because of the invasion post October 7th attacks by Hamas.

This weirdly glosses over the whole situation and the fact that nothing is currently getting in or out of Gaza, the entire strip is under heavy military siege, that the entire area has had no electricity, water, internet, cellular for weeks, and is currently being invaded by ground forces and bombed hourly.

From reading their statement you’d never get that reality, you’d think Oxfam is going to drive a truck full of supplies into Gaza with Jackson Irvine handing out oat milk lattes to kids.

Absolutely hate multi-club ownership and despise 777’s minority stake in the club, but agreements like this born out of a mutual understanding and friendship that stretches back decades between leadership, players, and fans is something I can get behind.

It’s such a shame none of these teams will ever grow above being small local teams of semi-pros because of the closed MLS.

Another good video from Hertha without any German showing the set up of the tifo against Frankfurt last year celebrating 130 years of history.

All done by the ultra groups in cooperation with the club and stadium staff, but self funded and done by hand by fans, not an event company.

Short of a health emergency, you never leave the stadium early. You stay and then boo the fuck out of them like real fans.

Galatasaray gave it all. Commendable performance.

I’m not familiar with the football map of Istanbul. Is it geographic based, class based, political based, what kind of people are Galatasaray fans?

The sound within the stadium is immense. Love it.

It’s even funnier the 8th time!

I went to at least half a dozen Bayern games in the 90’s at the Olympiastadion, what an amazing venue. Even walking through the Olympic Park today it still gives me that feeling. No idea why there is almost no one at this game though, was this a friendly?
