****Soccer is the Greatest Sport on Earth In-Game****

a half-win to close the day. Feel like i didn't even have that bad of a day yet i'm staring at 0.5-2-1

 

[GWarner27]

not to mention the heart stopping twice for each time Sancho was within 2 yards of goal

 

[jimbof20]

Needed another goal there. Shoulda been a penalty and then sancho couldn’t get a better look at it smh

I thought you had
+1.5?

 

[GWarner27]

I thought you had
+1.5?

i'm clearly not good enough at this sport so -129 juice is not for me

Ended up selling a quarter on Leverkusen to 1.5 and Hertha to 1.25 and it cost me a full unit today

GWarner are you on the giants of Wolfsburg?

 

[GWarner27]

GWarner are you on the giants of Wolfsburg?

nope, debating Schalke though

 

[GWarner27]

no McKennie (suspended) somehow hurts the Schalke offense, though he's not a real threat in the run of play. Burgstaller misses, but he's never looked good to me and i think Union is pretty bad.

Money flowing in on Union makes me think I could get a decent price on S04 +0.25

 

[GWarner27]

:siren:

 

[GWarner27]

Matondo is a pest

 

[GWarner27]

Shocked the chat is dead after such a riveting match

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Ugh I hate this one commentator

 

[GWarner27]

Cherundolo?

Mckennie is a ball winner in the middle , he is probably one of my favorite players in the US pool, great asset to have in Concacaf...

He is lazy on defense , so sometimes becomes a liability on that end

 

[braves]

Josh Sargent has been terrible for Bremen this year..

really sucks to see that

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Timo Horn really leaves you scratching your head sometimes

not from what i've watched since the re-start. Maybe because Schalke has no offense so all he can do is go after clearances

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Well!

 

[braves]

yeah they have no strikers

 

[GWarner27]

they need a F and he can't do anything except foul people

 

[GWarner27]

Timo Horn really leaves you scratching your head sometimes

that was dumb, but then redeemed himself

 

[braves]

taht was a awful pk

 

[GWarner27]

27' sub lol

 

[braves]

I bet a lot of these PRem teams are studying the sub patterns of Bundeglsia , you can really change the entire game if you just make a couple subs at halftime.

There has to be some good data out there on this

 

[braves]

im for 5 subs for the first couple of games, but once these guys get their fitness levels back it should be taken away

 

[GWarner27]

feel like most managers don't use their subs until guys are gassed

 

[braves]

what do the French people think about Macron shutting down their league in April?

 

[GWarner27]

i know OL is suing

 

[braves]

great chances for both sides in this one, can't believe its scoreless

 

[guaranteeed]

I really hope it's just temporary and not a thing next year

Will make the gap even bigger

 

[GWarner27]

are the squads deep enough for 5 subs each game?

 

[braves]

are the squads deep enough for 5 subs each game?

the big ones are deep enough to go 11 deep on the bench

 

[braves]

ok, maybe not 11, but certainly 5 deep will be no issue at all for the Man City's of the world

 

[GWarner27]

right but would fatigue make their starters that much less superior than the bench?

 

[braves]

right but would fatigue make their starters that much less superior than the bench?

you would probably have to eval that on a player by player basis.

A fatigued Traore for Wolves is still better than anyone on their bench

 

[GWarner27]

i am excited for the EPL to return since the teams are much more even than this league

 

[braves]

i am excited for the EPL to return since the teams are much more even than this league

yeah me too, better players

 

[braves]

also, much better announcers lol

 

[VirginiaCavs]

This one announcer‘s voice and intonation make me cringe. He almost just mumbles softly. He‘s not a professional speaker.

 

[braves]

thing with the EPL is that for us NBC really does an amazing job in producing it, it will be top class.

Fox has just given up with Bundegslia

 

[braves]

not like Fox did that well with the league before this pandemic

If allows them to press the whole game

They dont have to worry about wingers for example getting tired

Man city can have sterling and silva press for 60 minutes and then bring on mahrez and jesus

Walker can play as a wing back bombing forward every time not worried about conserving energy and then cancelo can come on 2nd half

And you still have 2 subs for last 10 minutes

Outside the big 6 that depth doesnt exist

So it gives teams a huge advantage in play style and still an advantage in talent

Even a team like leicester, currently on pace for 3rd, their bench depth isjt close to the big 6, they cant play for fresh legs

 

[guaranteeed]

It's making me long for ray Hudson even with la liga this friday, which I never thot I'd say

 

[GWarner27]

shkiri hurt?

you didn't see much pressing at all in Germany the first couple of games

I think you are right, I think you see some of these top teams come out pressing right from the gate. There could be some real ugly scores

good to know, Klopp and Pep will be doing this for sure? Who else?

 

[guaranteeed]

good to know, Klopp and Pep will be doing this for sure? Who else?

Don't know for sure till then but just looking at the teams that have serious depth, especially in midfield and up front

City and liverpool are obvious

Next two best are prolly spurs and united

Bruno, rashford, martial, james, lingard, ighalo, Greenwood

Will likely all rotate in front 3 or 4

Son, bergwjin, lucas, Lamela, dele, glc, gedson, sessegnon

Csn all play in the 3 around kane, a few can play deeper cm too

Chelsea wont have the depth till werner and ziyech arrive

Arsenal not a ton after PEA, lacazette, and pepe

But they have a big group of CMs they could

Fully healthy too

 

[braves]

I feel like Bayern could put some 10 spots on some of these teams, couple of games they have taken their foot off the gas
