[rustic mountain]

I swear to god the last like bonafide amazing pick we had was Dont'a Hightower

[versed forge]

I take back what i said, this ND defense is HORRENDOUS.

[rustic mountain]

Still can't believe we got Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower in the same draft

[haughty moss]

we cookin yall rn

[rustic mountain]

That draft was the foundation of the second dynasty

[smoky fable]

I'll miss Jones, but he's near the end of his career

Sigh

[dim kettle]

You really have to think that the Pats would have more titles if Bill actually adapted to the modern offensive game. Instead you get people like N'Keal Harry. Because Bill is a defensive minded coach with outdated philosophies when it comes to offensive players.

[versed forge]

Thats game, I didn’t expect ND to win anyways

[rustic mountain]

I agree with that Shadow

[versed forge]

Im shocked it was this close

[smoky fable]

Game over

[rustic mountain]

But at the same time like

[smoky fable]

Notre Dame needed better play calls

[honest umbra]

its GG

OSU wins

[haughty moss]

Chop TD!!!

[honest umbra]

good try ND

[rustic mountain]

We are essentially arguing about pennies at that point

[haughty moss]

LFGGG

[versed forge]

Notre Dame literally ran the ball in a 3rd in 18

Freeman is terrible with the offensive calls

Smh

[honest umbra]

its about hustle, its about drive, drip

[rustic mountain]

Because Bill came very close to 4 titles since 2013. Not too much to be mad about other than I think he might just be done

[versed forge]

Different Hc, same fraud team

No one wants to see Notre Dame in the playoff race.

[proud coyote]

There's discourse over him? He looked great today.

[rustic mountain]

Is Richardson more of a Jamarcus Russel situation

[smoky fable]

no

[rustic mountain]

Plays well in college but will probably suck kinda thing

[dim kettle]

One quote I get so tired of hearing in American football is "Defense wins championships!" Because in the modern game, you aren't winning titles with just defense alone. If that was the case the Bears would have multiple titles the last 2 decades. The Pats had amazing defenses but do you really think the Pats would have 6 titles rn if Brady wasn't there? Like, the quote was true at one point. In the 70s, the 80s, but not today. It only helps, not win alone.

[proud coyote]

lots of people are panning his accuracy I guess, I just find it funny the way people talk about him

[smoky fable]

That is ridiculous.

Legitimately ridiculous

[rustic mountain]

The pats would have 4 titles imo

[smoky fable]

He looks to be QB1 in his class.

[rustic mountain]

The three from the early 2000s

And I think 2014 woulda been close

But at the very least the 3 from the early 2000s

Those defenses were mad dogs

You could swap 2014 with 2018 though

That defense shut the rams down entirely

[haughty moss]

man that game was boring but another ring for my 🐐

[proud coyote]

rams lost so I had fun

[dim kettle]

That's debatable. The Rams came back late in 36 and who knows if it went to OT. The Panthers were very close to winning in 38 and Eagles weren't doing too bad either. I think Bledsoe could've managed to win a couple. But it's hard to say how much Brady effected those games in the Pats favor.

I still call that karma for the NFC Championship BS.

[rustic mountain]

That rams saints game was a fucking sham

And it stole Brady vs Brees

[haughty moss]

ayo this defense cookin

[rustic mountain]

Like I won't complain about the ring

But Saints got jobbed

[smoky fable]

I think he just doesn't want to see Bo Nix embarrass Oregon more or something.

He was awful

[dim kettle]

Man, I would've loved to see the Pats beat the 'Aints. Saint fans would be a big contender of the most bitching about the Pats cheating.

[versed forge]

Yeah nd fell off 2nd half

Stroud reminds me of mahomes

His passes are nuts.

[rustic mountain]

It made me laugh back in the day when Saints fans would bitch about New England

Like "okay new Orleans fight club"

[smoky fable]

Bountygate

[rustic mountain]

You do you

[haughty moss]

lmao

[dim kettle]

There's always lists about the most toxic fanbases and always wonder how the hell the Saints fanbase isn't higher.

[haughty moss]

nah fr tho

they got some nerve

[smoky fable]

The saints weren't that good historically.

[rustic mountain]

There best player til Drew got there was like what Archie Manning? Joe Horn?

[rustic ore]

Haven't heard anything disparaging about him personality wise, looking like young Cam 2.0

[dim kettle]

When Godwin got targeted by the Saints player. Saint fans argument went down to "What about the injury to Winston?" And it only added fuel that the Saints had a reason to target Bucs players.

[rustic ore]

Lot of potential to develop

[smoky fable]

Willie roaf a lineman was a hall of famer for them.

[rustic mountain]

Oh yeah forgot about him

[rustic ore]

Sam Mills was pretty nice for them

[rustic mountain]

No idea who that is

Will not lie

[rustic ore]

They apparently had a really nice D back in the 90s and he was at the forefront of it

[rustic ore]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Mills

Just got inducted into the HOF

[proud coyote]

pat swilling too

[rustic mountain]

Interesting

[dim kettle]

One of Jim Mora's guys

[rustic mountain]

Winning really does make people more relevant

[smoky fable]

He was not that bad of a coach to be honest.

Will still remember him for this.

https://tenor.com/view/jim-mora-mora-nfl-playoffs-playoff-gif-13133518

Him and Polian got Manning as well.

[dim kettle]

He wasn't bad at all. He made the Saints who were the Jaguars of their time and made them winners for awhile.

[proud coyote]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tie0tz7jGDI

[dim kettle]

I think they had like 23 years without a winning record before Mora went there.

[smoky fable]

I miss coaches like this.

[rustic ore]

Everyone is so cut and dry now

Personalities are just so fun from head men

Closest we have to one is what, Campbell?

[dim kettle]

BA had funny soundbites too when he was still coach.

Just calls out players because he could.

[dim kettle]

Careful. He's gonna bite your kneecaps.

Doc (@karthikadhaigal)

Arsenal sent a 30m euro offer for Ferran Torres during the last few days of the window. Barca management were ok with the offer but since he was signed recently, the decision was given to Xavi who opted against it.

3 injuries then and there but nothing too serious

Wait 3 injuries is nothing too serious?

that's the main problem

that would leave cedric as our "experienced player"

He's made out of cheese

Xhaka is experienced tbh

[short flame]

he's a liability

[short spindle]

He's performed very well these last few games

He also doesn't lose his head

[short flame]

he's emotional i'll give him that but you can't have a guy that's supposed to be an example going around the filed shouting at everyone

[short flame]

not as much as before, he seemed calm today but i still don't trust him

[short spindle]

Literally everyone has to shout at one point

[short flame]

except that you have to choose when

he just shouts and goes on rampages every time

[burnt cedar]

You have to be his burner account at this point

I’ve never seen someone stan Elneny this much

[short spindle]

Elneny isn't even that good

People just rate him because he's wholesome and we don't gave a better cdm backup

And maybe because he's an inspiration for young guns

Players have to shout and it's normal they wont communicate by whispering in their kits

Pitch sizes are like 115×74 yards, and 105×68 metres.

I love experience over youth any day of the week, I may be too critical on the youngsters sometimes but that's only because i don't think they are ready. and seeing arsenal being turned into a kindergarten dissapoints me so I stick with the few old players we have left

[solid dagger]

Yeah, they got demolished

[burnt cedar]

You’re sticking with the worst players

We’ve got some of the best young players in the premier league who are ready now

You’re not going to put them on the backseat just to have experienced players in the team

[celest zephyr]

[tidal gull]

hey guys

[short flame]

i'm not saying i'm right, i'm saying that's what i like in my teams. When arsenal started apointing all those youngsters and shipping out the experience, throwing out the backdoor the best passer in the world at the time, i lost py appreciation for the team. Like the team is doing ok at the moment yet i don't feel anything for the current squad. just my personal opinion

as a kid i never stopped searching for the great treasure

[short flame]

the one piece?

[tidal gull]

@short flame what episode of one piece are u on

im on 234

[short flame]

up to date in the manga

in the anime around 700

[tidal gull]

GAWD ADMN

wait

nvm

ma fault

wait

so the anime

is more recent

than manga

?

@short flame

[short flame]

#also-off-topic

come here

this is the sport channel

[tidal gull]

oh ma fault

[burnt cedar]

But arsenal have always been a club that plays youngsters

And they constantly got top 4 with them

Even Ozil who you’re talking about was the same as Odegaard is right now

Obviously talent wise they’re not comparable

But guys like Saka Saliba Martinelli are in that bracket of player

[short flame]

just in 2015 we had 9 players over 30, now 2 and 1 is injured

invincbles there were 7

[burnt cedar]

Half of them like cech arteta Rosicky Mertesacker were on their way to retirement

And even blocking the path of better players

[short flame]

cech was a legendary goalkeeper, BFG was a better defender than most defenders we'eve had in a while and better than any current defenders

[burnt cedar]

Cech was rubbish when he came to arsenal

We had 3 keepers better than him

[short flame]

no he wasn't

[burnt cedar]

Yes he was

[short flame]

ospina yes

not the other 2

[burnt cedar]

Lol and szczesny was better than him

[short flame]

don't even know who the third is

[burnt cedar]

Martinez path blocked because of cech

[solid dagger]

Szczesny my beloved

[burnt cedar]

Mertesacker played 1 game in 15/16

He was good before that but it was time for him to move on

[short flame]

is martinez the guy from villa?

[burnt cedar]

Yeah

[short flame]

awfull guy, may be a good player but he's a racist piece of shit

i'm still mad at him for what he did to us in the copa america

and nowhere near the likes of cech

[burnt cedar]

If cech was as good as you said he was at the time Chelsea wouldn’t have let him go

[short flame]

still him and koscielny were two amazing centre backs not comparable to what we have now

[burnt cedar]

And how were Koscielny and Mertesacker at the ages of Gabriel and Saliba?

Both joined young and grew into the players they became

[sweet tree]

every club has youngsters, lol even we had to make a shift to add some young guys cause Barça at one point was full of old head. All 4 of our backline yesterday was under 23. Nothing wrong with young lads honestly but yeah experience is good too (a balance is the best way) but if you're good enough early on then age doesn't matter. Foden, Haaland etc. are good enough to start.

[solid dagger]

They had a young and upcoming Courtois

They preferred starting him over a declining, but still pretty good, Cech

[burnt cedar]

I don’t mind experience as long as they’re good clearly the experienced players arsenal have right now are trash

[sweet tree]

yeah I agree sencho

[burnt cedar]

Yeah and even then szczesny was coming up at arsenal at the same time

Szczesny got dropped for disciplinary issues

And Martinez wasn’t ready to come in yet

[solid dagger]

I think they sold him to Roma around that time

[short flame]

koscielmy joined at 25, he was alredy a good player, the two you named are far from ready

[burnt cedar]

It was a loan

[burnt cedar]

Koscielny at 25 had one season in ligue 1

Same as Gabriel at 23

And Saliba at 20

Saliba and Gabriel both have potential to be better than him

And Koscielny was unknown when he came to arsenal

[short flame]

we'll talk in 10 years if they've done anything

[sweet tree]

imagine not playing Wayne rooney because he was 18 at everton

some young lads are good enough to start really

[burnt cedar]

If you don’t think Frances best young cb will not achieve anything then before that then that’s your opinion

[short flame]

haalad is already a world class striker and look at the team around him, he has a bunch of experienced players, we have none

[burnt cedar]

So if Haaland was playing for arsenal you don’t think he’d perform?

Because of who he’d be surrounded by

[short flame]

that's what we need to go and get some

[burnt cedar]

For what positions

[short flame]

and he had a few other centrebacks his age or older around him and good experienced player in other positions

[short flame]

some are, but you can't have 10 youngsters and xhaka and expect to win the premier league

[burnt cedar]

But this isn’t our expectation

It’s just to get top 4 this year

[short flame]

i'm just saying don't compare a legendary centreback from the club to a youngster who hasn't proved anything yet

[short flame]

not as much

[short flame]

most

[burnt cedar]

Koscielny is one of my favourite players ever but it doesn’t hurt for me to say Saliba will eclipse him

Because Saliba is that good

And he’s proved it in France and is doing it here

[short flame]

yeah top 4 is possible if everything goes well and everyone else underperforms, but you need a lot more to fight for titles the way we used to

[burnt cedar]

Yeah but the timeline of this squad isn’t to aim for the premier league yet, city are too far ahead of every single team

Developing these young players to build experience for the next few years is what’s going to make them better

[short flame]

i'll have to disagree here, i judge players on what they've done not on potential. i'd rather have a decent experienced player that one player that may or may not be world class

[burnt cedar]

France call ups, young player of the year in ligue 1 I’m not sure what else you want him to do at 20

His trajectory is only upwards

If you have an experienced player in front of him you’re blocking him from playing

[short flame]

except we're really behind a lot of teams in terms of world class players. i don't see any arsenal player who could make the toplist for the ballon d'or in the near future. maybe we'll get there one day but the current squand doesn't inspire me but hey i hope they surprise me

[burnt cedar]

They will

Majority of our players have been golden boy nominees

Just like the other best youngsters in the world

[short flame]

i like better a half-half defense, so maybe that guy's good but he should be partnered with a decent experienced partner

[burnt cedar]

That’s fair but I also don’t have any issues with Gabriel so I see no need to drop him

[short flame]

how many golden boys have actually done something with their carreers

[short flame]

he's not bad but the backline does seem to become fragile when the pressure comes

[burnt cedar]

Out of this I’d say Pato, Ballotelli, Gotze and Martial didn’t live up to the hype

Anderson was injured majority of his career

And if you look at the players who missed out a lot of them have had good careers

[short flame]

pogba may have a world cup but he's had an abysmal time at united

the others are good

[solid dagger]

If only Balotelli wasn't a dumbass

I think he could've been one of the best strikers of his generation

He had everything

[short flame]

yeah he wasted his potential

[solid dagger]

He peaked during the 2012 euros

That game against Germany

don't talk about the final plz thank you

[sweet tree]

https://tenor.com/view/mario-balotelli-gif-12054545

[solid dagger]

Anderson too I'd say

[sweet tree]

04-07 is brazy

[short flame]

who even is anderson?

oh that united guy

[solid dagger]

Yeah

[short flame]

wait he won the award lol

[solid dagger]

I think he won a cl too

[smoky fable]

Always remember that Balotelli moment

[short flame]

i remember the time he was allergic to grass

[solid dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/mario-balotelli-gif-12054531

Like look at this

[short flame]

https://youtu.be/i-tagn3lB3I

[solid dagger]

So much wasted potential

[sweet tree]

who's gonna win it this year?

[short flame]

lingard

[honest umbra]

y’all big lingard fans?

what club he at?

[short flame]

No idea

[sweet tree]

jude, camavinga, muisala and adeyemi are some standout nominees

[short flame]

But don’t worry he’ll reach his potential one day

[burnt cedar]

Yeah I mentioned him below

[sweet tree]

i thought vini was gonna be in it but it says under 21

[burnt cedar]

How old is tchouameni

[solid dagger]

Didn't see it, my bad

[sweet tree]

22

[solid dagger]

I thought he was younger than Camavinga

[burnt cedar]

Khephren Thuram is really good but not sure if he makes the cut off

He’s 21

[burnt cedar]

Scored a penalty in the shootout lol

His career started of insane

Important player at Porto

Gets a big move to united and does well in his first year

[solid dagger]

Like Bojan

[burnt cedar]

Trying to think of a modern player

Who would just fall off

[burnt cedar]

Yep

Bojan’s is way worse tho imo

[solid dagger]

Yeah he fell off a lot harder

[dim ledge]

depends on the context

[burnt cedar]

Anderson just was injured, Bojan was ending up all across Europe whilst being fit

[burnt cedar]

Yeah trying to think of a similar career path

[solid dagger]

Pato's career was destroyed by injuries

[burnt cedar]

I would say Camavinga but he isn’t as good as him

[solid dagger]

He was incredible for Milan

[burnt cedar]

I read an article on pato

Pretty sad story

I’ll try see if I can find it

[solid dagger]

Yeah

I remember his goal against Barcelona

A few seconds after kickoff

[burnt cedar]

https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/alexandre-pato-soccer-orlando-city-mls/amp

I think he’s at peace with his career now so I’m happy for him

But he opens up a lot about the pressure he had

[solid dagger]

Good for him

[burnt cedar]

The injuries he had were freak injuries too

Just unfortunate

[solid dagger]

Injuries ruined so many careers

Van Basten had 3 balón d'ors before retiring at like 28 because of knee injuries iirc

[burnt cedar]

Yeah

[solid dagger]

Imagine what could've been if he was fit

[burnt cedar]

Sometimes players go too hard to

[solid dagger]

R9 too

[burnt cedar]

Like Batistuta can’t walk properly now

Playing through all the pain

[solid dagger]

What a baller he was Batistuta

[short flame]

He played a year in my city, he did okay but it’s the mls anyone can make it here

[dim ledge]

honestly

Draxler

[solid dagger]

Did he have many injuries? I thought he just wasn't able to step up his game

[solid dagger]

Was it Montreal? I forgot

[short flame]

Yeah

[burnt cedar]

Draxler took the biggest sidestep move ever going to Wolfsburg

[short flame]

7 goals in 25 matches

Then left to Japan

[solid dagger]

Speaking of Japan

Is Iniesta still playing?

[static bough]

penaldo is so finished 😭

[short flame]

I think so let me check

[sweet tree]

yeah

[short flame]

He’s played one game and scored this season

Kazuyoshi miura is still playing, he’s 55

The club he’s playing for is younger than him

[solid dagger]

Lmao

[smoky fable]

https://vxtwitter.com/FTBeard7/status/1566578110157295617

[short flame]

big game tonight, the team took out a special kit to celebrate the 110 years of the team

and we're 1-0 down because of a stupid goalkeeper mistake

[sweet tree]

that's a lot of sponsorships

[short flame]

colombian league doesn't have enough money so you need to have lots of sponsors if not the team would bankrupt

but yeah it's a lot

it would look better without

oh we were lucky, it was offside

[smoky fable]

https://vxtwitter.com/BleacherReport/status/1566606812622729216

[short flame]

and now we're really 1-0 down, we survived 40 minutes with 10 men but it wasn't enough

[short flame]

another loss 😭

[versed forge]

LMAO

All that just to miss a FG

[short flame]

fg?

Kvara or Vlahovic should win it

Kvara probably will win it

[coral rose]

Man United fans win a couple of games and think they’re the shit

Man United fans are the Cowboys fans of the Premier League

[solid dagger]

Kinda like Arsenal fans

[coral rose]

True

But Man United fans are more shit

Atleast Arsenal fans have a reason to get excited, since they haven’t had this good of a start to the season in a long time

[solid dagger]

Every year I see both ManU and Arsenal fans hyping up their team just for them to underperform every year lol

And I mean I can't blame them, on paper their teams look pretty good, Arsenal looked pretty good on the pitch too

[coral rose]

True, like deep down we all know it’s gonna come down to Liverpool and Man City at the end of the season

[solid dagger]

Like always

At the start of the season my top 4 predicitons was City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham

I still believe ManU won't make it to the top 4

Arsenal might

[short flame]

City spurs arsenal and Liverpool I think will be the top 4

[sweet tree]

[simple seal]

Last night ended with a bs call when the Rays were almost completing a comeback smh

https://gfycat.com/lonemintybooby-baseball-red-sox-2022-rays-mlb

lmfao

[honest umbra]

we gonna have a close matchup @rustic ore

[rustic ore]

Something I've noticed is that I have a nasty habit of trying to make my fantasy teams as close to the same as each other as possible

[honest umbra]

im in 4 leagues

and always

im like

"nah i wanna draft diff ppl"

i legit end up getting the same ppl

[proud coyote]

just how it goes lol

the variance comes from draft position

but I have my guys

[rustic ore]

Making teams as unique as possible is probably the smartest thing you can do if you're doing multiple leagues

[proud coyote]

chase edmonds is one of my guys this year, esp in PPR

he's getting way undervalued

[honest umbra]

and my biggest weakness this year was not picking up high end WRs/being the last to draft TE's every single time

so i always got players like ertz

but my rbs in every league are so strong

from ekeler to najee to jones etc

i think this is me over correcting having really weak rbs last year haha

[honest umbra]

agreed even though i didnt get him

brandin cooks being overlooked too for being on a bad texans team

[short flame]

i don't know anything about baseball but in my football dream team i basically just choose whatever player comes from my country, i usually do horribly

[rustic mountain]

I feel like Cooks is both underrated and overrated

The dude is like a great number 2 option sometimes

But hey definitely isn't in that Devante Adams level

But he works well being in a system with Cooper

Well he did anyway

[honest umbra]

ye i meant fantasy wise doe

he always get 1k

regardless of team and QB

and being first option, he'll get his TD too

[rustic ore]

Friendly money league I'm in

Thoughts?

[proud coyote]

low RB depth so I'd be a bit scared

how many teams?

overall solid though

[smoky fable]

Hope you can find a good enough qb for his bye week

[rustic ore]

10

Someone snagged Edmonds right before I was gonna get him in the mid rounds

[proud coyote]

who'd you grab in the third?

akers?

[rustic ore]

1 sec

Yeah Akers

[smoky fable]

He’ll probably be their RB1 for Miami

[rustic ore]

Dual threat RB in an offense featuring an underrated TE and 2 starting WRs who can consistently go vertical

Dude is gonna feast on checkdowns

[smoky fable]

Man I could have drafted Akers, but was scared off by the injury he had.

[rustic mountain]

Oh yeh you right

[rustic ore]

Looked solid in the playoffs save that fluky fumble he had against the Bucs

[smoky fable]

Fair enough

[rustic ore]

If he's healthy he's the starter without question

[proud coyote]

akers is a good high end RB3 to me

like dobbins

[rustic ore]

Dude was a monster at FSU and that scheme is nice for RBs

[proud coyote]

both have boom potential

[rustic ore]

Took Zeus with my last pick, figure Jacobs will get injured again

[smoky fable]

The only thing this makes me hesitant on since I did it myself is the Kirk pick.

Thought Woods would have been better as the WR1 for the Titans as of now, but I bet on Lawrence.

[rustic ore]

I considered grabbing Burks cause I liked what I saw from him in the preseason and think he can fit the hole Brown left nicely

[smoky fable]

Maybe, but Vrabel was obviously not happy with his progress.

Hope that’s changed

[rustic ore]

He's a rookie, you can't reasonably expect them to be badasses from the start, especially when they're expected to replace really solid players

[smoky fable]

Hope he succeeds

[rustic ore]

Same

Liked what I saw from him on tape

Also don't know why but I just enjoy seeing players succeed in the league coming from schools that either don't regularly produce NFL quality talent or aren't top end schools in terms of where they ended up ranking wise at the end of the year

[simple seal]

I love sport names

Please save him.

I don’t know if he’d leave though

[sweet tree]

meh

[solid dagger]

Tonight we either lose 5-0 or we win 0-1, no in-between

[sweet tree]

gonna be interesting fosho, gonna tune into that one

salzburg could probably beat Milan tbh, they got a win last year vs Bayern iirc

city gonna slap sevilla, not expecting much else from that one

predicting psg to win 2-0

maybe Dusan scores a third freekick in a row, that'd be funny

[solid dagger]

Sadly I doubt we'll do much, we are missing so many key players

[celest zephyr]

Should make an anime about it

Someone with a ton of time is going to do it at the end of his career

Chelsea down

Amazing solo

[sweet tree]

orsic should get a move

[simple seal]

Well, they kind of missed with the 1960 NL Pennant winner, didnt they lol

In case someone doesnt know, Pittsburgh won the pennant... and the World Series too

tbh is probably one of the biggest WS upsets ever lol

Despite losing the series, the Yankees scored 55 runs, the most runs scored by any one team in World Series history, and more than twice as many as the Pirates, who scored 27. The Yankees won three blowouts (16–3, 10–0, and 12–0), while the Pirates won four close games (6–4, 3–2, 5–2, and 10–9) to win the series.

I'm sure this dude was a bum

I dont listen to the english commentators lol

[pure badger]

In club wc

[sweet tree]

I watch em in Spanish

that one was clear offside, wanna see how it'll do with a more tighter call

[solid dagger]

It's time for an Allegri masterclass

This message can (and probably will) age badly

[honest umbra]

u reckon he can stop messi, mbappe and neymar?

omg..

i havent heard hudson in so long

hes commentating a messi match

this is easily PSGS best 11

[sweet tree]

343 looks nice

[honest umbra]

mendes and hakimi playing as wbs

with marquinhos, ramos, kimpembe

is pretty insane

not to mention i think vitinha is their best midfielder this szn after veratti

juve with a 352?

paredes starting for em

[honest umbra]

thats funny

if di maria was playing

[sweet tree]

hope it's good

I trust Bremer with all my heart

It has started

[sweet tree]

OMGGG

what a ball ney

that goal from mbappe is nice

[honest umbra]

WHAT

A GOAL

WHAT A PASS

WHAT A GOAL

THE PASS IS INSANE

THE FINISH IS INSANE

[sweet tree]

perin

could've done better I think

nice goal nonetheless

[honest umbra]

he caught it on the volley

[pure badger]

Already

[sweet tree]

yeah 1-0

[honest umbra]

galtier barely reacts

so thats how u know how good the goal is

[hasty basin]

God

Already

[pure badger]

So the broadcasters decided to skip my teams match and broadcast this shitty US Open instead

[solid dagger]

Nah Mbappe was way too close and the shot was too fast

[short spindle]

Fofana is a CB with zero pace and no positioning

[solid dagger]

It was almost impossible

[sweet tree]

yeah fair, hard to react quick enough there

[solid dagger]

Oh fuck off Donnarumma

[sweet tree]

juve got close

milik header ahh

[pure badger]

Close

[solid dagger]

Nice

They're just too good

[sweet tree]

mbappe is too good

[solid dagger]

We were even starting to play decently

[sweet tree]

those 1 2s were nice

yeah

[solid dagger]

I didn't say anything because I was worried something like this would happen lol

[hasty basin]

2-0?

Holy

[sweet tree]

yuh

hakimi to mbappe

also erling scored for city

[hasty basin]

Yeah

Hmmm

Not bad yet

[solid dagger]

Inevitable

On one hand I'm sad both Messi and Ronaldo are aging, but on the other if Mbappe and Haaland keep playing like this the future is in good hands

[sweet tree]

messi and mbappe are horrible pressers lol

they just be watching the ball

[pure badger]

Benz off hazard in

[sweet tree]

injured?

[pure badger]

Seems like a problem with his knee

[sweet tree]

milan down 0-1
