The RIG is on.

the llama thread I presume

No, there was no way Pep was going to play Jupp's style. I think Pep wasn't the right choice for Bayern. The two are (well, were) just too different. Of course, I don't know who else, if anyone, was available and/or under consideration.

We're going to have to agree to agree on this one. #shocker

I don't think 'ahead' is the direction you're thinking of.

Paste it into Notepad first damn it.

We're going to have to agree to disagree.

That was actually a thing for the past 12 or so World Cups.

strong case lower case even

Hardly different lineups. Thiago joined but he's injured anyway. And I haven't seen much of Gotze (which annoys me, though less so than Lewandowski signing on a free). Different styles, yes. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Give me transition play over possession any day. As a viewer, in any case. That said, I'm sure Bayern will be back next season. I wish I could see their Bundesliga dominance, but unlike Spain and Italy, German matches coincide with the Premier League's so I never get the chance. So, from the admittedly small sample size I have, the only Bayern match I enjoyed Bayern's plan in was the first Man City game. That was possession not being sterile and boring.

Retirees at the trade deadline aren't eligible btw. Or anyone up to the finals as of Devise's announcement. Which is probably accounted for, i haven't looked at the spreadsheet yet.

No they haven't. We had this discussion when I had Berger play an extra World Cup. And there was Julien way back when. And every good 8-season inactive ever.

Possession doesn't mean nothing, but penetrating passes, like come on. Any Real attack was more threatening than anything Bayern created. You can't argue that Heynckes' team played worse than Pep's.

No. And again, Tukio doesn't retire this season.

What? Ask Jason, I've always been a Chelsea fan.

Chelsea?

Team Europe which devolved from Team Germany has been historically bad. But it was always separate from Switzerland and then UK who were popular at various times. This is the first time we're one continent team so it'll be interesting. But I think we're still shallow enough in all positions to be considered underdogs and I suspect you'll get on the roster because of that and because GMs reward activity. Devise post? Might as well.

Lol tiki taka.

No Bushito is probably just subconsciously doing it because you traded him. The Reign won 5-0. We had 34 shots and 12 power plays, but alas, it was not to be. After all, Riga had 44 and 15.

Riga won our series actually.

I would love to know how the appearance of some random affects anything but I'm sure that's not possible without getting spoilery.

You have the 5th pick, noob.
