It's weirdest thing seeing Casemiro winning - and being one of the best players on his team - a CL. When the dude started his career in São Paulo he was super lazy and seemed to not really give a fuck about the game. Now if there's anything he's guilty it's being a bit too eager sometimes.

Did you know that Higuan played in that game ? I didn't notice, but he is listed in the line-up... What a clutch player.

Dybala was far the worst player

And i still think he is really overrated

Yeah, I used to watch lots of football too, but this game is a good example of why I stopped and prefer esports to traditional sports. There's just no comeback mechanics in football, maybe they should hire IceFrog lol :d


It's not even about comeback mechanics. It's just competition period.

There's literally nothing interesting about European football anymore. Leicester was the only notably interesting result in the last 5+ years. I guess if you really want to you can count Atletico a couple years ago and the French league this year, but I think it's really telling that I couldn't follow the season for several months right in the middle due to military service and when I got back I just went "meh, nothing interesting happened".


Hey Feyenoord won the league! :D Honestly though you are right, the disparity is too real. The EPL should be more interesting on paper, but that was quite disappointing too. We'll see next year, but I'm not hopeful for the other leagues.

I think he's really good, but the comparisons to Messi and Maradona are unfair. He's not on their level, but he's on the same level as Hazard IMO(not exactly the same type of player but of similar value). Maybe clinch a top 3 spot in one year or another, but I wouldn't bet on him winning a Balon d'Or.

Ok, maybe overrated is a little too far

But thats my point, if you see Argentina they are painting him like the next Messi/Maradona. He is clearly a good player but faaaaar from those 2

Ah but it's the same with Neymar, people in Brazil tend to compare him with Ronaldo. Even though Neymar's better than Hazard and Dybala, Ronaldo was a generational player. If not for injuries I truly believe he'd have been on Messi/CR7 level.

What do you mean interesting ? leciester is a one of a kind in ANY sport , lets check the NBA finals , who are playing ? check , who won the NFL ? check , who will win the Rolland garros ?
in team sport money talk , so it gets interesting only on the elite level and thats fine , there are levels to the sport and not everyone can be at the top.

Some pretty boring history.

"Hey, this team won, AGAIN. They've been winning for 50 years now."

What do you mean interesting ? leciester is a one of a kind in ANY sport , lets check the NBA finals , who are playing ? check , who won the NFL ? check , who will win the Rolland garros ?
in team sport money talk , so it gets interesting only on the elite level and thats fine , there are levels to the sport and not everyone can be at the top.


I'm pretty sure I go through these numbers just about every year on TL, but American sports are more competitive than European football, both by number of different teams making the playoffs and number of different teams to win championships.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

That must be sarcasm, considering last season Real Madrid CL path.
