Chelsea v Club America (Friendly) Thur 1st Aug 2024 00:30 GMT

@Mod dude, the beeb says kick off is at midnight not midnight 30. Left it as the calendar suggests though as i know you can do your magic if needs be. 😁

 

Hoping to see some more sharpness from the players as well as a better understanding of the system and what players need to be doing. 

The stagnate, piling up in the middle did my head in last night against Wrexham. 

We should be able to beat this lot. Christ, they're all midgets and what with our set piece coach we should be able to do them on corners.

 

f**k Yeah!!

It still says 12:30 am on the official site, am probably more inclined to trust the Chelsea site, but if anyone could f**k up their own kick-off time.... 👀

I am not a fan of opened more match day threads in advance then just for the next game. 

please, stay as it was and let @axman2526 what he does great.

tnx

It’s only for the friendlies @mojo! @Simplymo just helping, and sure Ax will be back breaking the thread titles again in August!

@Simplymo is preparing a bid for running @Zeta's prediction league, testing his thread-making abilities, I'm sure of it.

Read the first few posts from the first friendly/preseason mate.

Ax has enough on his plate bud and just doing friendlies. I was going to do all of them in one go so ppl can note the matches down and/or plan for them in advance but I went with "middle ground/a compromise between both"

I personally dont mind either way...

Hahahah...absolutely no way! Never.

Plus, one season, just once, first place will be mine! All mine!

I just need to remember to make a prediction every match and not forget as usual.

So that's a yes, excellent!

Being a former winner myself, I can confirm the power, the worldwide adoration, the limousines and the groupies are addictive. Absolutely worth the 2 minutes per week!

Is more "Ax cannot be a$$Ed with preseason Friendly's" but I appricate your diplomatic way of saying it. 

If enough of you are nice enough to @Zetahe may run around prediction league. I'd make the posts for him, he would use his magic formula to track the points, ensure to screw over Munk, and calculate the winner.

So be nice to very tired new dad Zeta and you never know, maybe he does another one. If so I will try and remember to tag you Mo. 

 

Now that I am awake enough to half coherently think, @Mod is there a way of tagging everyone registered to the forum in a single tag, like @everyone or something like that.

Woild be great reminder for the prediction league, if it happens.

Noooooo! My only chance of winning the prediction league again is when others forget to submit their prediction!

All good mate.

The preseason games start times/dates  aren't broadcasted as often or on every site. Just thought it would be easier for all to plan for them, I still managed to pass out half way through the first one. Haha

I fear Zeta this season, he'll find a way to let his baby predict the results and scorers, you know, like octopi and cats and such.

Didn't know anything about Club América. Wikipedia to the rescue:

Conversely, América is the most hated team in Mexico, ranking first in that metric in every annual survey.[144] Ever since the club was bought by media mogul Emilio Azcárraga Milmo from Issac Bessudo in 1959, the club has had the unique distinction of being both one of the most popular clubs and the most hated.[149] An emphasis on heavy spending on Mexican and foreign players and managers in subsequent seasons, as well as success in domestic and international competitions, created an increasing sense of enmity from rival fans. 

Sounds vaguely familiar. Could be cousins.

Sounds like another club perfectly placed to give us another battering

If the pitch (in Atlanta I think) is any good then I think we can win this, which is of course not saying much. The squad will be fitter, Caicedo may get a few minutes, and understanding of the system and how to fit in will likely have improved. 

Notwithstanding the players are young and therefore will adapt to new ideas faster than older players it's still hard to learn new stuff. Hard doesn't mean bad though.

I'd like to see Fofana, Lavia and Chukwuemeka continue to get minutes and see improvement. Ugo too. The time to have them on the field is now before Enzo and Caicedo take over in midfield. 

I've seen enough of Badiashile. Might just be a confidence thing but I dont think he has the head for the premier league. Disasi does have the head for it even if a bit lacking technically.
