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.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
