Nice...they should play in Orlando in place of the NBA

**lakerboy** · 06-15-20, 02:42 PM

Might even be some fans in attendance.

I think the idea is to protect the players from the virus and not have them catch the virus in the US where no one is practicing social distancing.

Well we were...until the protests...Set us back months, if not years

Funny how people are concerned with NBA. Meanwhile all the soccer leagues in Europe are in action and these leagues will now play this tournament as well. Too many spoiled whiners over here.

America weak

Jockeys strong but most not Americans that’s why they’re running daily

**Risto234** · 06-16-20, 07:48 AM

So who is going to win? PSG right despite not playing a single competive match in the last 5 months unlike other sides ?!?

**ChocMilk23** · 06-16-20, 08:07 AM

Lot of tournaments in Portugal. Nationals tournament or whatever they called it was their also. Any reason? or just coincidence?

**Goat Milk** · 06-16-20, 08:10 AM

All those leagues are irrelevant

Only thing that matters is world cup, euro cup, and copa, nothing else. How many league "championships" does messi have in his career? Like 20? 30? 40? Doesn't make a shred of difference what players win in these leagues.

All that they will be remembered for is what they do on the international stage. Messi is the best player I've ever seen play but on the international stage he gets pushed around. Kind of reminds me of a Lebron rather than Kobe/Jordan.

The problem is Messi is an 11/10 and everyone else around him is a 7 at max. Multiple players said they didnt want to play or be on the pitch with Messi at the same time... To much pressure. He is like lebron's ealry days in Cle... No one around him...
