Messi has been great, sure, but his team got bounced from the CL by Roma ( a team Liverpool just lit up for 5 goals ). The CL usually counts for more in the Ballon d’Or race than league accomplishments do. Messi wasn’t the best player in the Champions league this season ( Ronaldo has been ) and the World Cup still…

Egypt should honestly be favored to get through the group stage.

It was almost certainly exactly then.

Egypt is one of the 2 strongest teams in the weakest group. They should be expected to go through.

Looking at their current rosters, the 76ers don’t actually match up all that well with the Rockets. They don’t have the perimeter offense to keep pace and they don’t have the perimeter defense to shut down what Houston can do. Embiid may have an edge over Capela, but it isn’t enough of one to make up for Houston’s…

More like: EEI ( exactly enough information ).

Probably just for comfort reasons. They don’t always have to go during a race and I don’t know about you, but I definitely wouldn’t want a catheter jammed up my pee-hole during a hard crash.

I think everyone in the league would sleep a bit better if he just fucked off to the KHL from now on.

LeBron also stopped trying on defense, which usually isn’t the best strategy.

Well, all the biggest stars in the NBA are Americans. The reliable, stretch-big roleplayer guys seem to mostly be from Europe though.

They’re interesting, but they don’t really count for much.

They did determine that she disconnected calls intentionally. If it’s a computer operated call system, which it probably is, they have records of every call and each operator’s inputs to the system.

She told the police that she hung up on purpose and the data from her calls shows this as well. This woman is not the victim here, the people who couldn’t get help because of her laziness are.

For now.

Arsenal’s players aren’t any better a fit for the way Conte plays than Chelsea have been.

I’m fairly certain that an Arsenal legacy player with management experience ( Veira, Henri or maybe Bergkamp ) will get the call at some point, but I don’t think any of them would want to follow Wenger.

Not to be pedantic, but reaching the CL group stage is pretty good for a Turkish club. If a manager went to one and made it a regular participant, it couldn’t be classed as anything but a success.

The 3 double technicals were definitely an interesting development. The referees seem to have decided to clamp down on any funny business by always punishing both parties. I can’t say that was a bad idea.

I don’t think it arguable anymore. AD is in the same conversation as James, Durant and Harden and he’s probably the best of the four defensively ( not that Harden puts up much of a fight ).

I wonder why American racing teams don’t try their hands at boutique cars more often, like McLaren, Williams, Lotus and other European teams have. A car with the Andretti, Foyt or Penske name on it would probably have done pretty well in the ‘60s, ‘70s or ‘80s and maybe even more recently.
