  1. I hope he does! If he traveled, he'll likely play
  2. parts of that actually looked pretty good honestly. but yea, you can't give the ball away like that. WTF was up with Jedi? Also, I never want to see Haji Wright at the 11 ever ever again. or on the field to be perfectly honest. hopefully they were just working on some things because that was embarassing.
  3. maybe that explains why Terzic replaced Adeyemi with Reus . . .
  4. aren't all popes caretakers?
  5. bayern finished third. I would change proven to good. And not all coaches are created equal - coaches like Pep and Klopp choose their personnel to fit their system. Other coaches may be brilliant with making the most of what they are given. Some are great at managing egos (Zidane, Ancelloti).
  6. yea, this is a game that was coming. Atalanta deserved to win and as soccer10k noted - gotta feel really happy for that club, Not only his points, but also because they play such positive football.
  7. to be clear, it is cheating. but not by the players. the players still accomplished what they did. depending how you view FFP rules, you can say the club didn't achieve it without cheating. But in Lance's case, he made the field not level for the actual athletes. FFP rules are stupid though - they aren't intended to rein in big clubs so much as keep small clubs from going insolvent. they don't level the playing field.
  8. I wonder why they never get better?
  9. that's silly. all the big clubs spend like crazy. Comparing it to doping makes no sense.
  10. Europe's top soccer leagues: Title fights, Europe, relegation - ESPN
  11. haha - totally agree! Not sure the owners would . . . it's not like they played conservatively all game - that just isn't their style anyway. But no Florian Wirtz makes a huge difference. Hard to see them dropping any of those games but you never know - another Italian opponent - does Atalanta still attack?
  12. its crazy! Got into some weird scenarios there weighing winning the tie versus keeping the streak - clear what Alonso prioritized and in the end, it all worked out! That game shows how difficult that kind of streak is - two stupid penalties and some bad luck and it's all on edge
  13. or their opponent does. I mean, has Neuer spilled one like that before? That said, RM were the far better team
  14. find myself in the odd position of cheering for bayern munich, how good is the bundesliga? how good is leverkusen?
  15. worst. thread. ever.
  16. bad news for spurs - I thought they were in good shape but what an absolutely brutal schedule to finish the season.
  17. complete meltdown. out of gas?
  18. neverlosin!
  19. that celebration was wild - never seen players celebrate with fans like that. really cool.
  20. Bayern is likely to sit all their top players this weekend and put all their chips in that game. I'm not too confident in Arsenal frankly, especially on the road. Also, Paqueta and Emerson both suspended for West Ham (Paqueta should have been sent off today),
  21. 42 now. Those are two tough games (Dortmund and Stuttgart). Surprised how defensive West Ham was - I don't see them over-turning 2 goals even at home. Shocker at Anfield . . .
  22. So, here's a philosophical question, if they avoid a loss today, Leverkusen can then win the Bundesliga Sunday (or Saturday if Bayern fails to beat Cologne). Would Alonso then rest players in the Bundesliga? You have to think you prioritize the trophies and player health over the unbeaten run, right?
  23. the Barca-PSG game was pretty good. Dembele Dembeled but they shut MBappe down
