Point: Roma are good and earned this win

Sane didn’t even touch that ball, it was a James Milner OG.

“On paper the upset looks huge, and it is, but that shouldn’t overshadow the fact that this Barça team was eminently beatable, even if they are the better team as a whole.”

Im not sure if you’re new to this site, but this is a post that simulatenously gives police the benefit of the doubt and works in praise for the level of competition and professionalism in MLS. Trust me, if there was another angle that they could have taken, they would have done so.

Which is a good opportunity to post one of my favorite memes ever:

this article rates 7.56 Haisley Units. Originally it was 5.56, but I missed the sly fluff of Ligue 1 and backhanded compliment of the EPL.

People like Haisley: “Referees are constantly horrible, they’re ruining soccer!!!”

Isn’t forcing someone to stay in Ohio cruel and unusual punishment?

This is a Billy article. No one is here for anything resembling real knowledge.

So this is Billy’s burner account!

Or just get rid of Billy

Arena sucks and USMNT rightly wants kick him in the balls, but WTF is this:

When something happens in world soccer that doesn’t involve Barcelona, does any one ever bother to let Billy know?

Billy wrote a long-winded article which glossed over real issues and avoided substantive analysis in favor of “Barca is so great”? Well, knock me over with a feather.

Billy, you’re missing a huge piece of the story here — namely, the extent to which Barcelona have long tied the club’s identity with Catalan nationalism. That’s the whole genesis of their motto, “més que un club”... and it pisses the hell out of Espanyol fans, who resent the implication that supporting FCB is…

Save that for the comments of any other article. This space is reserved for trashing Billy, the one thing on this site worse than auto-play videos.

It’s kinda/sorta classic Billy at this point to poison the well of a longer article, by first leading off the article with a bad and demonstrably wrong take. It should be tough to fuck up anything about a blog post whose core message is, “Mo Salah is very good and also you should look at this sweet goal he scored,”…

If you care about the letter of the law it was onside and the letter of the law is also know as the law while the spirit is just something you make up when you’re unhappy with how things turned out.

But is Salah elite?
