The transfer window is still open, of course, and Chelsea’s shock loss to Brighton in their season opener might wind up being a blessing in disguise if it allows Conte to convince the moneymen at the club to cough up the dough to bring in the necessary reinforcements.

Deadspin please get someone better than Billy to write for you about soccer. I’ll do it and I’m not even a good writer. He just doesn’t understand the sport or how things work. Coutinho isn’t moving.

What makes it even worse is that this is literally the only thing he does for Deadspin. So not only is their resident soccer expert focusing almost all his analytical efforts on one player, but he’s not even right about that player.

Billy trolling is the worst. Can we all agree to stop clicking on his articles? I can’t handle this anymore.

I’m not sure if I put Neymar in the top 5 players in the world.

Billy is an idiot who knows nothing about soccer. No one comes for his articles, just for the comment blasts on how terrible he is. Welcome!

Neymar is currently the world’s second-best player...

Not unless Joey Barton is retired or back in prison...

Found Billy’s burner

Speculation that Christian Pulisic replaces Neymar at Barça is peak silly season.

“Neymar is currently the world’s second-best player”

“Most notably, you have the widely respected Gianluca Di Marzio—the closest thing European soccer has to an Adrian Wojnarowski or a Adam Schefter”

LMAO, wow you’re gullible.

There’s no way you know that Neymar is presently happy and wouldn’t want a move. The fact is, much of this comes down to money, and even if Neymar…

Neymar is better than one of Ronaldo or Messi?

Billy Haisley wrote all the words and doesn’t have much to show for it.

This might bruise his ego, but he cam longer abuse the notion of being an every-down RB; he may need to switch professions or at least branch out into different aspects of football.

But would you really understand the elements on /r/soccer if you didn’t have someone to breathlessly describe them in intricate, faux-intellectual, often grossly exaggerated detail?

The rest are from Who Ate All the Pies. I realize there’s a difference between reporting and aggregating, but I also thought the latter is supposed to involve attribution.

Some of us strongly prefer to never, ever have to go to Reddit.

Keeping me from having to go to Reddit is basically doing God’s work.

They will have a tough battle in the first round when they face Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Transjordan, and Iraq simultaneously.
