it is, I'm glad some of the big teams got kicked out of the CL to give the tournament a bit of it's former glory

I wish UEFA changed the way they had out european competition spots

Do Bilbao still have their all Basque player policy?

yeah

Go on Rooney!

That Athletic team plays some good football. Nice game to watch so far.

yeah, it's something they've had through out all of their history (with a few exceptions during their early years), so I doubt it will ever change

they aren't as strict as before though, they also allow players from regions that aren't basque but do have basque influence (like La Rioja, where Llorente comes from), and people with Basque fathers (not sure if grandfather too)

they are a very underrated team tbh, I actually think they will knock out Man Utd (even though Man Utd is better, top teams fail in EL, and Bilbao is a likely scenario for a big team to be ko'd)

Damn, my boys are so bad tonight.

lolunited performing a pathetic game as usual
