smart run by lukkaku to open up the lass then play the dummy

 

[Alexander The Great]

the leagues begin next month

ok, so they all play at the same time. I gotta do some research. I know of Premier League and La Liga. and of course MLS( i tired to watch some of that yesterday...it didn't feel the same).

Watch the premier league.

Don’t follow La Liga. You’re just better off watching highlights of R Madrid and Barcelona. There’s not much going on in that league. Just a highlight reel for the two GOATs.

Don’t follow Arsenal, they’re the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA

If you want to follow a team with a rich history, tons of silverware, best stadium, best players, best fan base, and best club in the world then follow ManUTD.

But if you like shytty follow then follow Man shytty

funny you say that about Arsenal, the people I follow on twitter there are a few Arsenal fans. their tweets have me cracking up and I don't even be watching the games. I followed a twitter account called arsenal tv or something like that just because it kept getting mentioned

so the Premier League is the best league, but la liga has the 2 best players? thats interesting. is there no league with all the best players?

only the international games are this good. i dont bother with these club soccer games. they're meaningless to me. but, after this, i think the next matches will have to be euro cup.

If that’s the case, then the nba finals is meaningless compared to the olympics

I dont know much about Soccer, but is that Japan collapse considered an all time choke job? for instance, up there LeBron in 2011 vs Dallas?

Nah the all time choke-job is 1999 Bayern in the CL final against United. Today was an average choke job as the game was tied at like the 75'

I don't know much about soccer but I do know a grave tactical error when I see one. Japan blew it.

Not even remotely true. Champions League games are just as lit.

Nowhere near that
WOAT chokes are
Barcelona vs PSG 2017
Roma vs Barcelona 2018
Manchester United vs Bayern Munich 1999
Liverpool vs Milan 2005
Uruguay vs Brazil 1950 World Cup
Germany vs Hungary 1954 World Cup

very bad comparison

 

[Alexander The Great]

please explain what a "dummy" is

 

[King Jove]

Don't jinx it brehs

 

[EQ.]

Sit Carrasco and Witsel down for the next game. Play with

Meunier --- Toby --- Kompany --- Vertonghen
--------------- Dembele ---- Fellaini-----------
----------Hazard ---------- De Bruyne ------- Chadli
---------------------------Lukaku-------------------------
​

Martinez trying to be to clever with the false LB bullshyt. Play Jan who actually has experience there and have Chadli on the left as he has decent defensive output. Witsel really doesn't offer much so I'd stick Fellaini simply cause he'll get stuck and disrupt Coutinho from creating.

I'm glad someone else said this because I thought the same thing in my head, which means that I'm continuing to learn the game.

It's not like the Japanese players are out-jumping defenders who are multiple inches taller than them, anyway. No need to send that thing into the box and risk getting beaten on the counter.

Poor game management by Japan period. There’s stylish brave football then there’s just dumb shyt. Now them boys crying in their Sake.

For everyone saying that 'why Japan had everyone up, etc': Simple, they wanted to win the game. It was the last minute of regulation. They had their chance as the less talented team to win and took it. You play to win the game.

Belgium is faster, and it showed on the break. Plus, Belgium had the momentum. They didnt want the extra 30 minutes. They took their chance. Its the World Cup.

Great game. Game of the tourney so far (at least the 2nd half)

I can understand playing the game to win, but I don't think a straight corner into the box against a tall Belgian team is the answer. Maybe you play it short and look for a shot from a Honda type at the top of the box.
