While that sounds good in theory, it also wreaks of FM. Chelsea aren’t selling Kante for less than a bajillion pounds right now and I’m not sure Pogba wants to go to PSG. Maybe I suppose. Griezdouche as well. Doesn’t he have his heart set on Barca?

Oh dear me... The Eredivise is ranked 11th by UEFA (coefficient) behind leagues in Turkey, Ukraine and Russia. They aren’t playing high level ball against clubs week in and week out. If anything, it doesn’t even remotely prepare them for what they are facing in the CL. Mentioning that they only beat PSV by 3 points…

A friend of mine convinced me to try it out... If you’re in to footy, here’s what they offer:

I don’t pull for any specific team in Serie A but I’ve found myself watching a ton more matches now that I have ESPN+. I love Dzeko going back to his City days and I really like Conte. I’m with you, I hope Inter can get back to being Inter. Would be nice to watch Conte knock Juve down a notch. the reaction in the…

Man City don’t play against scrubs and they can’t even get to the semis.

Sure, there are players who even pay part of their own transfer fee to get a move to a club they’ve dreamed of playing for. Coutinho comes to mind. Funny that Barca have been testing the market to see if they can off-load him...

I don’t fault players for choosing high wages over everything else. After all, they’re just a commodity to their respective clubs.

I was so angry at the goal, mostly because it had been coming... Mexico looked so good in the second half, it was really a matter of time before they broke the US. And then they showed this guy (in slow motion!) and for a split second I was like, fuck that gu... wait, what’s his shirt say? Minutes later twitter…

PSG landing Dembélé and Umtiti (plus cash) would be a ridiculous haul considering Neymar is on strike.

Think this might fall under the colloquial meaning as opposed to a literal translation. 

Someone call John Wick.

Someone in the production van is a GD hero for switching to this camera.

I’m fully in the camp that you play your best players when they are available, always. For me, it’s on Tite to install tactics and ensure Neymar isn’t the only option players are looking for.

Well... They both have their up and down moments, and Firmino had an entire match where he decided to forget how to play ST... But I think the bigger point to be made is how well the squad played without Neymar. There’s no question Neymar is the best player they have, but when he’s on the pitch everyone looks to play…

This ref loves booking people. LOVES IT

I’m not saying this is Argentina’s golden generation.

How about Messi goes off on bullshit tactics Scaloni uses where Messi operates in a 6 role at times, trying to build from the back. And who the hell keeps telling Otamendi it’s ok to pass up the pitch? Man could barely put together a lateral pass on target and gave up possession so many times it became comical.

Purely anecdotal, my father has been hit twice by cars in LA traffic over the course of three years while lane splitting. And when I say lane splitting, I mean very slowly, and not racing through the gaps. It’s always a lane change that gets him... 

Same.
