[undone drum]

is it coincidence liverpool starts with a L 🏃‍♀️

[hybrid hull]

Why did it feel like we just won Copa del Rey

[unborn sandal]

Courtois? Best GK arguably. Not top 5 player overall

[broken ledge]

Don’t

[celest zephyr]

This dude is a rat and disappointed that Arnold can’t even guard him

[celest zephyr]

14 UCLs does it

[hybrid hull]

Courtois tho

[solid dagger]

Imagine winning so many CLs you get bored of winning

[broken ledge]

Yeah they got some insane history with the UCL

[solid dagger]

Couldn't be us

[hybrid hull]

Man we don't deserve Courtois

[celest zephyr]

rm struggles more in copa del rey as in the cl lmao

[dim ledge]

At least we lost to Madrid and not some pisspot like city

[fluid moat]

You will never have to worry about city

[simple atlas]

Benzema, Mané, Mbappe, KDB, Courtois not in order except first 2

[solid dagger]

Or us after winning Serie A 9 times in a row, it feels like we didn't even celebrate the latest few titles, and seeing how Milan celebrated it makes me feel so spoiled

[unborn sandal]

[solid dagger]

Where's Kean in this list? Smh my head

[pale current]

Even the Madrid fans aren't arguing courtois top 5 BOD lmao come on bro

[solid dagger]

Goat striker

[dim ledge]

Stop joking

[honest umbra]

[burnt cedar]

Europa hurts him tbh

[celest zephyr]

[dim ledge]

Just take the L and move on

[simple atlas]

Yeah you’re proving my point

[solid dagger]

I don't follow Bundesliga that much but I've seen Nkunku has been tearing it up

[honest umbra]

courtois?

[simple atlas]

Tryna have a decent convo

[celest zephyr]

[solid dagger]

Waiting for his inevitable Bayern move lol

[celest zephyr]

benzema kdb mbappe salah lewa top 5

[dim ledge]

This dude thinks courtois is top 5 ballon d'or lmao

Joke

[simple atlas]

How hard is it to give top 5 lmao

[short spindle]

Tears Ceballos won the ucl 😭

[honest umbra]

let me tell u top 5 just means u were the 4th loser

[graceful needle]

My brother is a Barca psg fan
And he is calling madrid lucky and Liverpool unlucky

See what I replied to him

[pale current]

Im ngl if neuer never got a ballon dor courtois doesnt deserve it either

[celest zephyr]

(lewa)

[simple atlas]

And to have a decent discussion

[celest zephyr]

Bale too

[honest umbra]

so hes a messi fan

[celest zephyr]

and Hazard too

[burnt cedar]

Legend

[pale current]

Barca psg?

[solid dagger]

Barca PSG fan? More like Messi fan lol

[unborn sandal]

doesn't count if he didn't have minutes. (Did he?)

[celest zephyr]

counts

[celest zephyr]

I think he played group stages games?

[burnt cedar]

If you’re on the bench you get a medal

[dim ledge]

Mine is basically this but I have Mane in instead of Mo

AFCON and WCC counts

[celest zephyr]

holy fuck

[honest umbra]

arent u guys glad ceballos, bale and hazard (all premier league legends) are holding the champions league trophy rn?

[pale current]

Salah dropped of after afcon

[celest zephyr]

yeah this

Salah was phenom in EPL

[graceful needle]

Roasted damn hard

[short spindle]

When someone showed you his trophies you would think that he was world class
But him playing on the other hand...

[celest zephyr]

Bruh Liverpool needs to kick out keita

but Mane added the icing on the cake with his AFCON run and UCL too

[dim ledge]

Absolutely not

[broken ledge]

Stop

[dim ledge]

He had a fantastic season

[burnt cedar]

Always makes me laugh when refs get medals

[solid dagger]

I'm so happy for Courtois and Ancelotti

[celest zephyr]

Tf he did in the final is just utterly shit

[pale current]

I havent seen much of keita so i cant judge him

[solid dagger]

The season is not just the final lmao

[dim ledge]

Please watch football for more than one game before you ever @ me again bitch

[simple atlas]

We have 4 players in common no reason to get mad

[burnt cedar]

Like the last 10 ucl winners have had a Croatian player

[short spindle]

Trent looked lost blud

[broken ledge]

That shot he had earlier was bad I agree but don’t let that lowball him

[split wren]

Akagami I checked multiple articles about top 10 contenders for this year, court made in none of them

[dim ledge]

I'm not mad you're just blatantly wrong for saying courtois is top 5

[short spindle]

They didn't win because there was no Lovren

[simple atlas]

I feel like you can make an argument for Courtois, but attacking players get too much credit somethimes

[honest umbra]

i might be jumping the table here but watching only one liverpool game this season (that being this final), i think liverpool should drop diaz for good. he was invisible and lights were too bright

[celest zephyr]

bro you're like fishing Balkan and then calling him mad

can you just shutup ffs

[unborn sandal]

the Croatian streak

[dim ledge]

True

[celest zephyr]

Doesn’t matter, the dude gave up free freekicks when he KNOWS Real Madrid are wasting times. Shot a ball with 0 control. Can’t even properly control. Almost conceded a goal due negligence

you also can't even make a point and just say "did you watch any real games this season"

[short spindle]

I watched like 6 Liverpool games

[graceful needle]

Madrid couldn't have had a harder road map for the finals

They are deserving and champions for a reason

[burnt cedar]

There’s another funny streak that inter have had a World Cup winner since 1990

[celest zephyr]

Like oh my god he sold this game

[burnt cedar]

Ended in 2018

[solid dagger]

Bruh

[dim ledge]

This I can agree with

[celest zephyr]

When it’s so fucking important to Liverpool

[honest umbra]

barca had a harder road to the finals in 2015

champions of every country

[celest zephyr]

theres a fun one where having moore Braziilian players in the UCL means you will win

[honest umbra]

#facts

[dim ledge]

That said it's not like Liverpool had any control over Villareal beating Bayern lol

[simple atlas]

If you count how many points Courtois made for Real and how important he was in CL

[pale current]

Barcelona in 2015 was insane

[simple atlas]

It’s arguable IMO

[graceful needle]

Check madrid 2018

[honest umbra]

no

[pale current]

Fuck barto tho

[simple atlas]

But its only an opinion so no reason to get heated

[solid dagger]

I'm still salty about that penalty not given on Pogba

[celest zephyr]

ancelotti from everton coach to cl winner

[split wren]

I hate Barca more than anything in this world

[broken ledge]

[solid dagger]

The Liverpool one was more impressive imo

[burnt cedar]

Doesn’t hit the same on the pitch

[graceful needle]

RMA vs Man City
Barca vs Psg

[honest umbra]

way more iconic

[celest zephyr]

though I can argue that 2018 run was memorable because of Ronaldo alone @graceful needle

[honest umbra]

raising the cup among the fans

[graceful needle]

Yeah that bicycle was just lit

[honest umbra]

i still remember abidal holding the cup

one of the best moments ever

[graceful needle]

Marcelo

Ronaldo really made the 2017-18 and 2016-17 run insane

[graceful needle]

Holding it

Do they give out a trophy for the momt of the final?

[honest umbra]

[split wren]

Hazard should just go back

[sweet tree]

chelsea hazard was fun

[honest umbra]

10-11 was more successful team wise

[solid dagger]

Ancelotti top 5 managers ever at the very least after this final btw

[sweet tree]

14-15 messi >

[honest umbra]

11-12 was better individual

[celest zephyr]

realistiically

[split wren]

Only one I feel bad for is klopp

[sweet tree]

much better passer in 2015, also prime years

[celest zephyr]

the best individual season by Messi was when he was kicking ball at the age of 5 and balling in Rosario

unmatched levels

[sweet tree]

how many saves did courtois have

[pale current]

Messi this season sadly has been a dissapointment tho

[sweet tree]

I assume he got motm

Everytime I love listening to stories of Selecao players talk about their journey

the Casemiro one cracks me up because he became a CDM since every one wanted to be a forward in selection

[solid dagger]

Ancelotti coached us too, and he wasn't good

[honest umbra]

pep got the GOAT and a goat team

[solid dagger]

He played Henry as a left back lmao

[honest umbra]

zidane got an elite team too

[solid dagger]

Then he left to Arsenal

[celest zephyr]

Look at Dortmund and Klopp

[granite shard]

congratulations fc

[broken ledge]

Hearing this is so damn wrong loool

[celest zephyr]

Like, it’s quite disappointing that he only got a single league title and two UCL with that AC Milan team

but Serie A at the time was cracked as hell

inter fiorentina juve and roma were cracked

[broken ledge]

Looking at this is pog ngl

[solid dagger]

59 saves are unreal

9 just tonight

[celest zephyr]

Probably the record was held by Cech bet

literal wallkeeper

[solid dagger]

Let me check, I bet it's either Cech or Buffon

[broken ledge]

Courtois reminds be of Cech yeahhh

Bro cech was insane

Back then

[honest umbra]

with the turtle helmet?

[dim ledge]

Remember when courtois first went to real he was hot shit

Great bounce back from him

[solid dagger]

Ok I can't find it in the tweet and I can't be bothered to Google it so let's pretend it was Cech

[broken ledge]

Yeah lol

[celest zephyr]

oh man was a really massive blunder that year

[celest zephyr]

and the season before he had some nightmares (the Messi game really was something)

and he improves so much since

[honest umbra]

where he went through courtois legs twice?

and dembele scored a stunner?

[celest zephyr]

yeah

dude was always vulnerable near post

[honest umbra]

not this game

u saw the salah save?

[celest zephyr]

yeah

was talking with balkan abt it earlier

the finger tip

I remember when we ripped Chelsea in 15/16 and Mahrez/Vardy would always go for near post agaisnt him

[honest umbra]

and players coming thru

[broken ledge]

But football has been increasing in popularity throughout the US

[honest umbra]

bruh im sorry its gonna be a long while

[celest zephyr]

most of the Japanese TV and push for baseball is thanks to boomers in politics

[honest umbra]

b4 japan is good at basketball

[celest zephyr]

insanely good

I still remember the WBC final against Korea to this day

[honest umbra]

unless they find the next miracle generation

[celest zephyr]

Ichiro having the worst run and all outs no hits

then in the final hits the winning bat a 2/3 base filled two outs two strikes and three balls in the last inning

[honest umbra]

dang

chills

ichiro is goated

[celest zephyr]

the pitcher in this game

[broken ledge]

Didn’t Japan lose against Belgium in the World Cup?

[celest zephyr]

got hated iinsanely in korea and got death threats

because he threw a straight ball

https://youtu.be/DpxDwRXCRy4?t=357 fixed with time stamp

the pitcher admitted he chose to throw the straight ball because he didnt want to be a coward and avoid pitching

[honest umbra]

yea

it was rlly sad

[celest zephyr]

so he wanted a proper 1v1 against him because the whole game he was avoiding him

[honest umbra]

it was 2-2

they went on a counter

[celest zephyr]

ii dont want to remember

[honest umbra]

and scored in 90+4

poe rememebrs

i was watching it live

[celest zephyr]

worst 3AM experience in my life since the mid night taco bell I had back in MA

[honest umbra]

and when the counter started

i knew it was over

[celest zephyr]

every neighborhood in my city was bright at 3AM

[broken ledge]

Yeah I remember now

[celest zephyr]

when we scored the second goal

[honest umbra]

haraguci and inui scored

within 5 mins

[celest zephyr]

then you hear despairs in the last minute

[broken ledge]

They did pretty well though

[honest umbra]

they did

were up 2-0

but then y'know

raw talent beats team

[celest zephyr]

@honest umbra not surprisiing we have an anime about horse racing

[broken ledge]

Ig lol

[celest zephyr]

this anime and game got no.1 revenue in japan for three years in a row

[sweet tree]

oh yeah

thT shit hella popular

[celest zephyr]

(I play it too)

[honest umbra]

u watch that mala?

[sweet tree]

no

[celest zephyr]

because there is my favourite horse from irl in the game too

[honest umbra]

i aint heard of it

[sweet tree]

but I saw the blu ray sales for that

[honest umbra]

is it a thing more popular domestically

[sweet tree]

it did insane numbers in japan

[honest umbra]

than international?

[celest zephyr]

its a domestic thing

[honest umbra]

well its also all girls so that aint surprising

[celest zephyr]

never meant to be international

[honest umbra]

ye im just sayin the reason

i never heard of it

[celest zephyr]

ye

though its good if you're a long time horse racing fan

all of them are based off irl famous race horses in Japan

and many from the 80-00s

so the game lore and anime lore is actually recreations of the real event but in a crafted way

[honest umbra]

im not

i watch a lot of sports, poe

and i mean a lot

i dont think horse racing will ever be one

[sweet tree]

you watch ufc fate

[celest zephyr]

its a niche sport

[honest umbra]

some of my irl friends LOVE some ufc fighters mala

[celest zephyr]

very niche

[sweet tree]

curious what you don't watch fate

[honest umbra]

so im forced to watch some fights

but theyre fun

golf

that shit is boring

[sweet tree]

true

[honest umbra]

tennis hasnt held my interest that much

even if ik big names

i watch nadal vs federer or djokovic obviously

im getting into f1

[sweet tree]

yea me too

I'll usually watch those games

but i don't watch much else for tennis

[celest zephyr]

https://youtu.be/Fr3T2H2_Pjs?t=195 time stamped but you can see how energetic ppl in japan are for these races

this was I think the most viewed race in Japan

[honest umbra]

but other than that u can ask me anything about soccer, nba, nfl, mlb, cricket, esports

[celest zephyr]

with 180,000 people in the stadium

[honest umbra]

180????

bruh

[celest zephyr]

yes

[honest umbra]

this is such news to me

lol

[celest zephyr]

listen to that commentary fkn spice

the excitement

its a different level in japan

[honest umbra]

the excitement is insane

[celest zephyr]

the place has a capacity of 165,000 but they allowed more viewers

While tomorrow's Japan derby is wilder

expected 220,000 fans

[honest umbra]

ur going right?

[sweet tree]

that's massive

[celest zephyr]

im in hungary

i want to go tho

thats the packed Tokyo Racecourse

[solid dagger]

Don't mind me I was testing something

[celest zephyr]

thats the stadium

speaking of horse racing, wasnt there an incident pretty recent where a horse refused to run for a woman racer in some event

I think ye

but thats the jockey's fault

[honest umbra]

horses are sexist?

[celest zephyr]

i have no knowledge on horse racing but she was in full tears.. it was sad.

you have to have partnership with the horse to run with it well and be good at it

and if you fail, a lot of people would refuse to let you race their horse

[honest umbra]

17th place and 2nd place get the same trophy, sencho

or 16th i guess

[celest zephyr]

that's why the best jockey OAT in japan was 4700 races and 4000 wins in 30 years

[honest umbra]

leeds were 17th huh

[pale current]

Wasnt there a horse racing anime

[celest zephyr]

thats the one above

[pale current]

Ow ye

[honest umbra]

.

[celest zephyr]

i found it. it was the Olympics. thats why i remember it. horse refused to jump not race, mb

https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/germanys-modern-pentathlon-coach-disqualified-after-punching-horse-2021-08-07/

Take Yutaka is one crazy jockey in Japan

[honest umbra]

bruh

i support the horse

[celest zephyr]

every horse he raced with won 1st place

[honest umbra]

so its the jockey, not the horse?

[celest zephyr]

why would the horse just not jump on the day tho???

[honest umbra]

unlike f1

[celest zephyr]

yeah

its always the jockey's fault

there is never a fault in the horse

[honest umbra]

idk there can be many reasons lol

[broken ledge]

That horse rider looks like he wants to go home

[celest zephyr]

if I remember

[broken ledge]

The horse too stubborn

[celest zephyr]

the jockey punched and kicked that horse

there was a video of her hitting it earlier

[honest umbra]

arent jockeys usually like 4'5 90 pounds

as well

[celest zephyr]

not

so it seems like horse refused to run for the female jockey, and her coach + participant for male pentathlon punched the horse for her.

the best Japanese racer is like 175cm

and 70kg

its all about how much you can control that weight fof the horse without getting in the way of its movement

[sweet tree]

f1 is funny

[honest umbra]

f1 rivalry is funny

[sweet tree]

you can be having the race of your life but you're so dependent on your car, if it fails you it'll cost you.

[honest umbra]

they get so heated

yea u can be the best driver on the grid

but be losing hard

plus ur team

[celest zephyr]

this jockey is so fucking cracked

[honest umbra]

he looks old

[celest zephyr]

there is this lore which he admitted was true

he's 54

where this horse he is sitting on in that picture refused to run on the first day

and this horse is called Deep Impact, a thoroughbred

he knew the horse was a winning one so basically, he talked with it all day

and the next week he races

wins 1st place without any competition

everyone said it was luck

he goes on to win 10 consective G1 titles in Japan

the horse was stubborn and barely trained but in the race was a god

[honest umbra]

thats what the anime shoulda been about

i would watch that

[celest zephyr]

no the anime doesnt have jockeys and stuff

does horse size matter? like same as in human athletics, does it help to have long legs and a high proportion of weight in the legs

its more focused on the horse themself

[honest umbra]

but i like jockeys

[celest zephyr]

yes

thats why thoroughbreds exist

however there are exemptions

so like size >>>>>>>>> jockey> luck> bonding

we had racehorses like Twin Turbo and Special Week which was very very small yet ran insanely well

or racehorses like Goldship and Silence Suzuka which were insanely big but ran like a god

[celest zephyr]

( jockey > size/parent > bonding ) = luck gacha

[celest zephyr]

only lost a single title race in its career

horse racing as said is very niche, but its fun to watch

[celest zephyr]

It kind of hurts to see this

Oh well

[celest zephyr]

Kinda piss take because both sides were just defensively great in those two finals

and the goalkeepers saving the shots

[chilly flare]

I didn’t think this was a take? They just stated what happened lol

And it’s amazing they still got 2 trophies despite not scoring in the finals

[dim ledge]

It's a tongue in cheek way of saying we can't score

[chilly flare]

That seems like a stretch

[proud coyote]

Whether or not you believe it to be a stretch, it’s probably not a good time to bring it up in a chat full of Liverpool fans

[honest umbra]

^

its like def in jest

but tbf they did win 2/3 of them lol

and they scored in their "final" game of the szn or whatever

[atomic gazelle]

Fuck sake

1-0

[broken ledge]

Mhm

[sweet tree]

ter stegen slander, I'm here for it

[honest umbra]

bro u really turned on him huh

lmao all barca fans are slandering him

on twitter

[sweet tree]

I turned on him like last season tbh

yeah I see it fate

[honest umbra]

my prob again

isnt with ter stegen

but with the lack of competition

like hes still better than 99% of keepers out there

[sweet tree]

ye I get ya, I don't see him getting sold

[honest umbra]

its just idr the last time he had a 7-8 save game for us lol

[sweet tree]

ye

[honest umbra]

like we concede 4 shots a game and 2 of them are goals

and most times im like, he couldnt have stopped that

[sweet tree]

he never bailed us out like what courtois did today

[honest umbra]

but tis been 8 years

lol

one of the reason why la liga downplaying pisses me off

[chilly flare]

I’m sure Madrid and Barcelona doing most of the damage on that

[hybrid hull]

Sevilla actually too

they won 6 Europas

[chilly flare]

Oh that’s true

[honest umbra]

barca are what 5-0?

or 4-0?

[dim kettle]

https://youtu.be/6lslyJ3g69A

[hybrid hull]

4 finals

[honest umbra]

2006, 2009, 2011, 2015

[sweet tree]

atletico won 1

I think

[honest umbra]

rm has 6

[hybrid hull]

yeah against a spanish team tho

[sweet tree]

I think they beat chelsea I don't recall

[honest umbra]

sevilla has 6

and atm has 1

atm won europa

[sweet tree]

falcao vs chelsea iirc

[hybrid hull]

Bilbao

[sweet tree]

he got a hatty

[honest umbra]

thats more than 17

innit

[chilly flare]

The upper echelon of la liga just seems to be better than the other leagues. Or that’s how it has been in recent past

[honest umbra]

wait why did he said in the last 21 years

is he including 01-02 for rm

lol

[hybrid hull]

yeah

[honest umbra]

so yea

6 for rm

4 for barca

is it actually 6 for sevilla? lol

(ik its europa but still)

[hybrid hull]

yeah 6

[chilly flare]

Sevilla dominating Europa lmao

[hybrid hull]

and 2 for Atm

1 for Villareal

[honest umbra]

oh

did some of them

play against

another spanish team?

ik atm lost both against rm

[chilly flare]

Probably? Idk

[silk notch]

Kinda crazy how Ancelotti started the era of ucl success for Madrid and came back to finish it

[sweet tree]

la liga kinda washed

but they show up in europe atleast

[hybrid hull]

Atm did win against Bilbao Europa league final

[honest umbra]

idk why but it makes sense la liga being better in finals makes sense

just the way they play

i also believe if atm faces anyone but rm those 2 years, they win too

[sweet tree]

it's been a while since italy gone far in ucl

[hybrid hull]

he also won the last 2 for Ac Milan

[honest umbra]

yea their teams havent been good

lol

[chilly flare]

Well when it comes to Barca and RM they definitely went into those games with the best player and a better squad

[honest umbra]

but milan might be good next year

[hybrid hull]

one of them against Liverpool too

[honest umbra]

ehhhh

rm won some impressive ones

[chilly flare]

Im mostly speaking in the 2010s

[honest umbra]

but yea barca had

always had the better teams

06 is debatable

but def 09, 11 and 15

[sweet tree]

I feel 09 was kinda cloze

on both teams but barça edges it

united had a crazy front 3

[honest umbra]

they won the sextuple

[hybrid hull]

honestly the best barca squad was 2011

[sweet tree]

so did barça

[honest umbra]

they get the advantage

if anyone watches the 09 final

for the first 8 mins

man utd DOMINATED

[hybrid hull]

they were unstoppable

[sweet tree]

they did

[honest umbra]

and then out of nowhere, eto scored

and then it was over lmao

[sweet tree]

valdes had to make some stops that game

it was a close match tbh

[honest umbra]

yea best barca squad ever was '11 with messi, villa, pedro line

3-1 was a nice scoreline

lmao

[hybrid hull]

for a sec man utd had a chance

[sweet tree]

midfield all got an assist, front 3 all got a goal

[honest umbra]

iniesta assist

beautiful

THE XAVI ASSIST
