UEFA Champions League


Shocker

Watching Man U vs Juventus and keep wondering...is Paul Pogba the most overrated player in history?  He is so pathetically bad.  In the World Cup he was just a different player and really good, but for his club team he is horrible.

So Man U came back and won...chuckle at Mou rubbing it in a little, nice.

I wouldn’t say overrated as he’s not particularly rated at all at the moment. Overpriced definitely. He’s failed to live up to his performances elsewhere.

There have been a few that spring to my head immediately. Chelsea have had a load, no less Schevchenko. Arshavin was signed on the basis of one good international tournament. Schweinsteiger. Veron. Craig Gordon. Balotelli.

He was without question considered one of the top talents in Europe before signing at Man U.  He has not been good at all for them.  That's my point.  Every team has busts shoot Chelsea might have one in Morata right now, but Pogba has stunk it up at Man U.

UCL has been boring this year.  I watched few games and it seems like many players are going half speed.  Almost like watching a friendly game.

I have watched one game.  They need to show more games.  One positive to playing Liverpool is the first leg is televised.  If the second leg is not televised or if Bayern somehow makes it through and either QF match is not televised then I will be done with the competition for the season.  Not wasting my time on a product that they do not want me to see.  Cannot believe that neither Barca nor Real will have their first leg televised.

Not sure if this is anything to do with new league they are trying to create to eliminate the little guys and have all superstar teams participate.

Liverpool is smashing Arsenal today.  They want this trophy bad.  

Arsenal have no defense...  Liverpool created 3 chances and scored 5 goals.  They need CBs bad...  Arsenal had only 1 clean sheets in like 30 games this season. Worst D in decades.

Nah, it is their way of trying to force us to pay for B/R Live.  FOX use to show matches on both FS1 and FS2 so you could watch both during knockout rounds.  I use to rush home (or to the bar) from work on those days and watch both games.  Not possible this year without paying extra, which I refuse to do for one competition that is only on during the week.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
