Matchweek 2 - Peacock still sucks

This is essentially the same problem in Canada. A few years ago, EPL and Champions League were both carried on TSN, on a standard cable package. Now, neither are, and I have to pay $150 more per year to get them on DAZN, which works so much more poorly as a product for TV. More money for less product. Aren't we lucky?
a summer with ESPN's producers and a season with NBC in the book, and Tim Howard sounds much improved
My TV's app for NBC Sports doesn't show the games as available, so that's fun. I have to stream from my phone.
The PL made this big deal about how penalty rules would change, any contact in the box would not be sufficient for a penalty, and they would make a point of emphasis of not rewarding players for going down easily or before contact.
So predictably in practice none of that occurs.
It’s weird. I think this would ultimately have been a stonewall pen. Just finish the play naturally. There is absolutely no doubt, however, it was also a dive. And I don’t want to hear any horseshit about how he was avoiding a plant foot injury- he was diving.
No letdown for Union Berlin after their 4-0 victory on Thursday night in Finland, up 1-0 at Hoffenheim.
And literally as I type this, Hoffenheim equalizes.

This game is typically entertaining. We also just had Kruse hit the crossbar on a free kick and Awyoniyi stopped on a 1:1 with the keeper.
he’s been electric today. But it looks like Lage is keeping him exclusively in the far left channel, where do doesn’t really pose a scoring threat.
Traore would be the best in the world with more accuracy and touch when he hits the ball. He’s unstoppable otherwise. His shooting is awful and his passing is often poorly weighted and placed. Let’s hope he doesn’t dial that in.
He also doesn’t pose much of a scoring threat alone with the keeper so far this season
Nuno with some 4D chess here… Pep nods approvingly (other than the extra mileage on the car he’s about to buy).
Brilliant commentary on SiriusXM play-by-play of SOU-MNU:
“…we’ve been talking about how awful Man U’s shorts are, but Southampton’s kit looks like someone got loose with a spray can.”

I don’t think Arsenal are as bad as Chelsea is about to make them look.

Arsenal seem well up for this but also maybe one of those where they run their race in 30 minutes
Arteta watched Spain at the Euros and decided to model Arsenal’s play on the game against Sweden instead of, say, Slovakia.
Certainly wouldn't have done the hold up play to set it up. And probably woulda been offside on the James cross.
I really like Lukaku and am thrilled to see him having success.
Hate that it's back with Chelsea.

Yes it was a tragicomedy of errors to concede and now they’ve got a lot to do.
There’s nothing wrong with this Arsenal kit but when watching on TV I keep thinking they’re Ajax
Yes, it’s the white side panels. Still less egregious than City’s Coventry lookalike this season.
Yeah the City kit is an homage to the aguerooooooo season but it was a shit Coventry lookalike that season too
I don’t know if it’s intentional but Tierney’s positioning has been awful. He keeps getting sucked inside and it isn’t helping
On live view that sure looks like a penalty. The biggest problem with “updating” this rule is there needs to be consistency. I’d be delighted for contact like that to not be a penalty but it needs to be applied like that for all teams all season
I think we’re all going to relearn what a penalty is this year. I certainly prefer Saka’s not be a pen, but I think it’s already pretty inconsistent.
It’s also weird because that incidental contact is cheaply given all over the pitch. So they need to relearn what is a foul not just a penalty. It’s a good direction for the game but the growing pains if they stick to it are going to be miserable
I didn’t know if it was Serie A that was making Lukaku look epic, but i suspected not. After the Euro, I was confident of it. Now I’m convinced. He’s going to be a menace.
