We’re forgetting about the Women’s World Cup in France next year. The soccer is coming home 19/20? 😁

We could sit here and dissect the past for hours and even then I doubt there would be one clear answer aside from the two best players in the world were on the two richest teams in the world and dominated. In going forward I do think you're going to see PL teams do better in the CL due to the...

I think CL dominance is cyclical in looking at the history of who has won it. The 90's are a bit weird after AC Milan's dominance with some really random winners but overall it seems to go in 7-10 year cycles between the major leagues on who dominates sans Ajax or teams from other smaller...

Yes, after the 9th no EPL team can add players. They can still sell or loan them though to the other leagues up until the 30/31st. No EPL players do not have legally binding buy out clauses such as in Spain or Germany sans in cases of relegation. I used to do a write-up going over the top 6...

I think the biggest thing that a lot of people aren't thinking about yet is that the EPL changed their transfer window to now end the day before the season starts, so it's August 9th this year. You're going to see some pretty unprepared EPL teams getting burned by this as well as some teams in...

Pretty sure Gurgeh is french though I've never really seen him post during club season.

Most people can't build an insta base out of nowhere and what separates the skill levels, you certainly don't run into it every game. Most people just build cover if they are out in the open and that's it. I've taken to making sure I have some type of explosive on me at all times as well...

Anyway, I'd say this thread has come to an end. Everything will be geared towards 18/19 club season from this point forward unless anybody has anything else to add about the WC.

I’m pretty sure the Madrassas are all standing so your only half right there buddy.

Watched the first two episodes back to back with the misses. Not sure how I feel about it. It’s beautifully shot and the acting seems good. The issue for me so far is that the we haven’t met one person that wasn’t or at least didn’t seem completely fucked up. Seems a bit of a stretch.

Those non assimilating Africans must be stopped!

I don’t really see the upside to Puppy Pistol nor laughing off a joke about raping your wife. But hey, that’s just par for the course these days so whatever.

What? How can they be a different team but still the same? Also I’d love to know how Madrid is getting Mbappe this summer. PSG don’t exactly need to sell and he in theory just signed this summer.

Unless your a Nazi then I doubt it.

Your a fucking retard. Do you know how many immigrants that are here in the US that don’t marry a white person but assimilate anyway? Fucking millions upon millions.

Why? Low made some critical squad decisions that blew up in his face but on the whole I thought Germany played well but got pretty unlucky.

Again the final call is always with the on field Ref. He made the decision to give it, not VAR. I think it’s close between Brazil and France for most talent but France certainly deserves the win. Shame we didn’t get to see them play as in 4 years it will be basically the same France team but...

A win for France but a loss for everybody else IMO. Again they ceded control to the opposition but were able to grind it out anyway. It’s not like they counter attacked beautifully to off-set their shit setup, pretty sure Subasic is still injured as neither of the Pogba or Mbappe shots were in...

Until the voice chat is fixed this game is dead for me. Ton of posts on it with no response from Epic. Really annoying.

What a total pussy... Big surprise....

Hahaha. Please explain what is the optimal rule then for your examples, would love to hear this.

Anybody else having mic issues? No matter what I did last night I couldn’t hear nor could anybody hear me talk but it worked fine on discord.

For who? The rules are the same for everyone. Anyway, I'd agree the 3rd place game is pretty meaningless sans the players who didn't get on the field yet. And hey, the winner gets a medal so that's something. For the final, picking France but hoping Croatia can find a way to win again. I...

The golf cart is ridiculous and a lot of fun. Great addition.

You honestly might be one of the worst posters in this thread I've ever seen and that is saying something. And you know for sure Belgium would have won if Munier was suspended for the Brazil game instead of the France game? They've already adjusted the rules same as the CL in that you can no...

Couple of things here on England: 1. England's MF was always the weak point even coming into the tournament. As an LFC fan I have no issue taking the shit out of our competitors players but in this case I think some slack should be cut for Alli though Lingard has an entirely punchable face so...

Henderson isn’t being asked to be the creative one in this system, that’s supposed to be Dele and Lingards role but they’ve been really poor at it all tournament. Taking off Sterling really fucked them now. They need a set piece or its penalties more than likely.

Croatia doesn’t have the legs for this. As of right now I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended 1-0.

It's quite ironic for anybody that's played for Chelsea under Mourinho and then Conte to be complaining about anti-football. Both Hazard and Courtois will probably wake up today realizing those comments don't reflect too well on them but then again I've never lost a WC semifinal game so maybe...

So you didn't see Harry Maguire of that civilized nation England do a total swan dive last game? Fuck me you're a retard.

Anyway, Deschamps is going to Deschamps. Belgium had 9 total shots, 4 on target with I believe Chadli being the main passer. Nacer Chadli, more like pass badly lol. Oh well. Congrats to our eventual WC winners France.

Remembering stuff that was correctly stated previously? Yes it's always good to recall facts. That Witsel/Dembele/Fellaini midfield certainly was a sight to behold.....

If Dembele is really playing as a WB then I've seen it all at this point.

It sounds like the only one out for sure is Vrsjaliko their RB. It would be a blow as he's their only defender with some speed to get up the field and help on offense but I can't see it being that huge of a miss. For the rest it's a WC semi-final. I'm sure they'll shoot up with whatever is...

In actual real Soccer news, my pics for tomorrow/Wednesday: France v Belgium - Think it's an even bigger mismatch in midfield for Belgium than against Brazil as Kante has been amazing this tournament. With that said I think it will be a close, cagey game as France does what France does. Still...

I've never lived there but it seems clear over the years that the governments policies weren't very friendly to Liverpool or really the whole north of England. I would imagine that would engender some resentment as time goes on.

I think bringing MMR to the game would ruin it, especially for squad play. I don't see why anyway the cons don't outweigh the pros of it for this game, just keep adding cool features. It's fun as is.

England couldn't have gotten luckier with the draw if they tried to rig it themselves. Sweden was just bad man.

Yes. It was incorrect twice amazingly. Neymar didn't fail or then you'd have to label almost every player in the world a failure. Ronaldo wasn't on the "verge" of being labeled a diver, he was a diver and his histrionics over the years were why people wouldn't accept how good he was as it...

Can you do anything but talk in absolutes? You talk about how Ronaldo reformed himself but all of his antics over the years is a big reason why people to this day do not give him the benefit of the doubt yet you talk as if that's not the case. On the "verge", lol.
