Big whoop.  No one worth a tinker’s cuss will be playing a week after the WC Final.  The ineptitude of local government after and during the riots and HB2 to allow Nashville to have a game instead of CLT last year and use that as a springboard to MLS over CLT goes beyond words.

Top flight English football is a pale shadow of what it was. German football is much worthier of respect.

Regardless, you have to be pretty footie starved to give up your time to watch a preseason friendly nowadays.

EPL is the most competitive league because it’s the most rich league so even average EPL teams can buy above average players.  Dortmund top players from the times Dortmund was relevant now play in England.  Both Aubameyang and Mkitaryan play for Arsenal.

Yeah I assumed that was the criteria you were using to come to that conclusion. In your defense many people would agree. It’s just sad for me because I followed English football before the premier League. In those days the league was competitive because you couldn’t buy success. Clearly that’s changed and the national team is absolutely pathetic these days because of it. I’m glad that people still enjoy the product but it’s not for me anymore.

Before Real Madrid and Barcelona bought all super stars.  Not the case anymore.  Now players pick EPL over LaLiga.

I think we’re having two parallel conversations here.

But by the way you’re wrong. Messi and Ronaldo are clearly the 2 best players in the world and have been for sometime. La Liga.

 If you know anything about England you will know that South American players rarely excel there and frequently can’t deal with the weather.

But I’m glad you think so highly of it.

      Also, in regards to XL and guys like Renfrow and JHJ, it’s hard to truly evaluate them because they aren’t getting enough opportunities.  XL, to me, seems like he turned a corner, which was evident in that career game a couple of weeks ago…  but then he’s only getting a couple of targets over the next couple of weeks.  Not to pile on Bryce because everyone knows where I stand on him, but it’s because of him.  Bryce made a nice throw to him yesterday, XL made a nice clutch grab, and then a packers defender took a cheap shot on him and he was out for a bit (I believe he came back?).  But, overall, it feels like for most of our WRs it’s feast or famine and no in between:  it’s not enough consistency in targets and distribution.

      Pretty sure it was both.  And the screen throw to rico that he literally jumped to do and it sailed over his head.  That type of poo is not fixable

      I just think it was an awful throw. He was trying to throw to the back pylon and just missed terribly. He had a little bit of pressure in his face and he can't deal with that. That's when the awful throws usually happen. I don't have a problem with that shot if it's thrown to the back pylon where it should've been. That ball thrown correctly to the outside is either caught by XL of is safely missed high and/or outside. You cannot miss that throw short and inside.
