I didn't see that coming, but it makes sense because of the seating capacity and soccer tradition at UNC, albeit mainly on the women's side.

Quote :
"A different kind of football will be invading Kenan Memorial Stadium on the campus of the University of North Carolina this summer. According to the Mirror, the famed football club Chelsea will play Wrexham in a friendly in the historic American college football stadium on July 19. Wrexham is owned by two famous Hollywood actors - Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who took over the club in November of 2020."

As a Chelsea supporter, Real Madrid have more goals than us in one Match since 11/02/22

Looking at Potter's past managing stints it takes his teams a while to get going, but I know a lot of supporters are getting more agitated. Goal Scoring though isn't a Potter problem its been a problem for several years.

At least Liverpool is having as rough a season as us. TAA may be one of the best crossers in the world but his defensive skills are really poor without Konate as cover he looks even worse.
"


Thiago Silva getting injured will be rough. He has done quite well for chelsea and is quite the stand up guy. plus a damn great 1 on 1 defender although I haven't watched him much recently.

^Yeah he has been a rock in defense, but Fofana has looked good in relief. And really its not defense that has been the clubs issues. They aren't great at defending set pieces which is where 2 of the last 3 goals conceded have come from. Open play goals haven't been that common. Dortmunds goal came on a poor Chelsea set piece.

Offense is where they are struggling. They just can't seem to get on same page and then shots have been way off target. However that may be mental and once they get past that goals may start coming more frequently than one every 4 matches

^^Honestly given some comments from players another US preseason tour doesn't seem like a good idea unless they are going to run it better.

Chelsea just need to spend another few hundred million.

Thoughts and prayers for Spurs supporters.

"Tottenham's wait for a major trophy continues - they won the League Cup in 2008 - and they have now exited the FA Cup at the fifth-round stage four years in a row after defeat at Sheffield United."

Apparently Chelsea performs better in the Champions League when they suck in the Premier League. They finished sixth in the PL when they won the 2012 CL trophy and fourth in the PL when they won it in 2021.

^^ New players in yesterdays Starting XI

Raheem Sterling - Summer Signing
Wesley Fofana - Summer Signing
Kalidou Koulibaly - Summer Signing
Marc Cucurella - Summer Signing
Joao Felix - Winter Signing
Enzo Fernandez - Winter Signing

So 6 weren't in Chelsea's squad last season and 8 of the 15 players used were not in the squad last season.

^ very true, but Chelsea have made the Quarterfinals almost everytime they are in the competition. However, its the only way we get European football next season is if we win the entire competition so its definitely being priortized over the league now. Barring a setback Kante will be back for Quarterfinals which will be a huge boost.

The relegation fight is going to be insane 5 points between 12th and 20th.

As shitty as they've been, there's still a realistic chance at 4th if they can get out of their own way.

City got a tough draw to get to Istanbul, but they'd likely be the largest favorite in final history (at least recent history) if they do get that far. Italian league has to be happy about their odds of getting a team to the final.

Whoever makes it to final out of that side of the bracket will be the favorite.

Bayern Munich didn't waste any time finding a coach who knows how to beat City. I wish Tuchel the best, just not in the Champions League.
