Damn, Ruben Neves sold out and about to join a Saudi team. Depressing shit.

Joselu moving to Real Madrid while Benzema, current Ballon D'Or holder moves to Saudi Arabia. Football is about to be even more dominated by money lol.

True, although I wouldn't complain if the Saudis feel like splashing £100m on Partey

As someone from Hong Kong, where our best clubs are finally doing something in Asian competition, fuck that lol. The most famous person we've ever had play for us was a washed up Diego Forlán.

Oh my god that seemed like a lifetime ago

I remember seeing him on TV doing ads, it was wild. And now Kitchee are winning matches in the AFC CL while my club (South China) are languishing in the second tier cuz of money...

Aren't there like match fixing scandals every 2-3 years as well? I occasionally see the news reports if I happen to catch HK news.

There was one recently yeah lol. I honestly don't pay attention to the local leagues as much as I would like cuz I'm an overseas student now and cuz have you tried? It's not on Fotmob or Onefootball or any app, and my club isn't even on pay-per-view TV lol cuz first division league.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't it usually streamed on the team's YouTube? It's also occasionally on RTHK TV if I'm not mistaken....which I get on "the box". Not sure if "the box" is a thing that's available in your area.

tbh you're making me tempted to email them and ask lol, I might just go and do that real quick...

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Apparently also Edouard Mendy. Fucking hell everyone chasing the bag.

[–] Gingerrific@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can't blame em, given the money being offered.
