Tbh Harit was more impressive than Greenwood. And Rulli of course. Great performance from the GK.

Marseille has serious defensive issues. They're lucky Brest don't have the quality to finish their chances.
Harit is who Carboni will have to fight with for playing time? Hopefully he gets a lot of chances.

In theory yes. I only watched first 60 minutes and i don't know if Brest can be considered a serious test but he looked very good. Quality playmaker who gave creativity to their midfield and provided key passes to Marseille forwards. Everything good started from his legs.

Level of this league is so low. I am watching yet another Marseille game for Carboni (he hasn't started). They're up 2-0 already without even being good. Comical defending from Toulouse.

Greenwood keeps scoring.

It's way too physical and not tactical at all.

It's pretty much Premier League from the 1998-2012* era, but with the 2018-2025 PL recipe of having one side dominating.

*that's because 1992-1998 PL was closer to MLS than anything in Europe :lol:

For me there's a huge gap between the top 4 and the Ligue 1 ... So I don't get it when you here the "Big 5". Some PSG marketing bullshit ...

But the rank the top 4 in that order. I don't know. For me the Serie A is the most unprofessional league from them.
It was called "Big 5" years before PSG with money appeared. In Croatia 25+ years ago we had Petica (5) show on TV with goals from top 5 leagues after every weekend.

This is last round of the 99/00 season and we are playing for CL spot against Cagliari in yellow jerseys like we have today:

Btw Matrix at 9:50 :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: It was the day that Juventus lost the title and Lazio won their second.
St Etienne returns to the top flight
0-8 yesterday. Ouch.

They started in 4th division this year. Few days ago Andy Carroll signed for them for minimum wage. Today he scored 2 goals and turned 0-2 to 2-2 after he came from the bench:


Proper football story.

Things are going badly for De Zerbi at Marseille. 1-3 loss at home to Auxerre. Third loss of the season. De Zerbi even said if management think he's the problem he is ready to leave.

There was a time Lyon were the most hated team in France because of the way they raised to the top. Now it feels like a lifetime ago
