Seems like Burak Yilmaz will be joining Lazio for €15M.

Will be curious to see how he does, Turks generally haven't done that well abroad and He's already 28 years old.

No, but I am pretty sure they've killed plenty of screamers from 40 yards...

Shamelessly stolen from Swedish blogger Den Osynliga Handen:

If the Bale transfer is worth €100M, that'd only represent 18% of Real Madrid's yearly income.

For comparison the €66M transfer of Luis Figo in 2000 was close to 50% of their 00/01 turnover of €137M.

Pretty insane how much the football economy has grown in ~15 years.

I believe some of the folks who make tactics do.

I'd never be able to handle it myself though, the games are slow enough when sticking to key highlights.

Fiorentina passing on him may have had something to do with the buy-clause in his loan contract being €7,5M. He might be worth about half of that.

The group stage last year definitely featured bigger clubs than this year.

Good for Swedish football that Elfsborg ended up with a group they could at least theoretically qualify from.

One-offs happen sometimes in real life too. It's really only a realism issue if these kinds of results repeat themselves multiple times within the same save.

British Parliamentary debates are a whole lot more exciting than Swedish ones. Not only are British MPs far superior rhetoricians, but the jeering and cheering breaks the otherwise dead-serious atmosphere and provides a comedic aspect to the spectacle.

I don't think anyone has ever made a joke or even a playful comment in the entire history of the Riksdag. Your typical Riksdag debate features half a dozen bored MPs with worse public speaking skills than any American 5th grader making dry, dull and poorly argued statements to an audience of two dozen sleeping MPs, while the 300 other MPs are out snorting cocaine from the arses of strippers, or whatever it is an MP who is too lazy to show up in his seat actually does.

In case anyone has missed it, one of the losing teams from tonight will be drawn to replace Fenerbahce in the group stage.

Would be pretty funny if it turns out to be one of the really small and obscure sides. Personally I am hoping for FH, I bet everyone are just dying to go to Hafnarfjörður in November.
