I love jumping on the TSUUUU meme train with everyone else, but honestly... does anyone ACTUALLY think he's the GOAT over Messi?
Whoever wins the WC 2018, is the GOAT
If none of them win, none is the GOAT
>inb4 muh Euro
I guess Platini is a GOAT now
>>76112877
>I guess Platini is a GOAT
Platini doesnt have 5 balloon doors 4 CL wins and 4 golden shoes like these guys have after this season, you cringey autist.

It’s Ascension Day and not just the ecumenical celebration, here’s a short stage packed with climbing, descending and next to no valley roads. A fearsome stage? Possibly but for all the 4,000m of climbing packed into such a short space these climbs are all on well-engineered roads, a test of power rather than wild ambush country. It’s on TV from start to finish.
Stage 17 Wrap: a big day for a big breakaway but initially only three riders went clear including Pierre Rolland and they seemed to be dangling in front for a while with 200km to do. It wasn’t until later than a maxi-breakaway bridged across including Jan Polanc who was almost virtual race leader as the group built up a substantial lead. It split too and at one point Rolland was caught behind with others but got back to the front again. In the finale there was a flurry of attacks from the group, Rolland surged clear with just under eight kilometres to go, his legs bench-pressing the pedals to force himself away. It was a triumph of perseverance, Rolland had tried so many times in the race but came up with nothing and he was helped by team mate Michael Woods marking the moves behind. For all the talk of Rolland 2.0 leaving behind the 1970s on his signing with Cannondale this was vintage win, barging clear in the finish after a long break. Also Tom Dumoulin rode well with no sign of illness.
The Route: 137km around the Dolomotes. After the start they ride for 14km up the valley to the intermediate sprint and that’s it for flat roads for the day. They turn for the Passo Pordoi, 11.9km at 6.7% and a steady climb with plenty of hairpin bends amid the ski lifts and with views of the towering Dolomite peaks. A matching descent awaits and then several kilometres of what looks like a valley road to the next pass but actually an awkward section with some slogging gradients.
The Passo Valparola is next, or rather the Falzarego is, a pass climbed on the way to the Valparola and a gem amid the Dolomites as it winds uphill with scenic hairpins and even the engineered parts of the climb have a certain elegance with archways supporting the road and a gentle hairpin bend through a tunnel. The top section to the Valparolo is a long straight ramp with steep gradients.
The Passo Gardena is next and a gentle climb, wide enough for two buses to pass in opposite directions for most of the way and with yet more hairpins. The descent is fast and has fewer hairpins, instead the bends are wider and there’s almost 50km downhill here with a short break as they reach Ortisei – but don’t cross the finish line – and head out for a 33km look.
The Passo Pinei is a steady climb. 15%? Yes says the profile but only if you take the inside line on a hairpin bend but otherwise a regular climb and just 4.25km, a interval during the long descent from the Gardena. It’s followed by a very fast descent down to the Isarco valley and then they climb straight back up. Here it’s 9.3km at 6.8% but gets steeper towards the top, all on a big road but more irregular in gradient along the way. From the top of the climb in Pontives it’s just four kilometres to the finish and gently uphill…

Who knew that UEFA is full of ABAs?
ABAism is a mental illness.
I think that's because it's based on losses
Arsenal has 9 losses. United only has 5.
what is an ABA/ABU?

Anyone but Arsenal
Anyone but United
who are we signing next season lads?
it's Mbraaaaaaaaaaape good enough for this team, do you think Hazard is coming?, also who's leaving?
>>76112670
Dybala will score two goals against Real so they will probably buy him.
Mbraaaaaape will follow next year
>>76112681
who's leaving tho?
Bale is staying at least one more year and so Isco
Kevin needs to fuck off tbqh
>>76112695
James will leave.
Bale may leave as well if there is a 100 million + offer.
What do you want to see happen this summer, bros?
>>76112643
I want them to dissolve and let the Buli alone
>>76112643
them not get close to winning a champions league and somehow convince good players that going there to win a 1 and a half team league will mean they are having good careers

Weidmeme and Jacameme already lost to Luke. They can brawl to see who's worse. \
Since Romero is booked (against Whittaker wtf), I guess Rockhold vs Mousasi is the best fight to make.
>>76112115
I like Rockhold-Mousasi better too, but the UFC isn't going to give Moose the last fight on his contract until they work out a new deal. I hope it happens but Rockhold waits till then if that's the fight. The MW division is FUBAR

What did he mean by this?
>Missi is a lolbertarian
>>76112057
I don't think Messi said that. Would be fucking dope if he did though.
Where did everything gone so wrong?

53 goals this season, right? Good return I'd say.

According to a friend of mine who works in a player management agency for some Bundesliga-players this is how Bayern wants to build there new team.
The plan is to sell Sanches and Costa to ManU, and Bernat to Barcelona. They want to make around 120 million with these transfers.
They want to buy James, Verratti, Sidibé and Sanchez for a combined price of 220 million.
Next year then they want to sell Vidal and replace him with Goretzka.
Please rate.
Pretty nice. Will win Bundesliga by about 15 points and get knocked out in CL in the quarters or semis.
>>76112036
That's the plan. Also to get eliminated from the national cup in the semis or lose the final.
Why Martinez did not become the starting DM after Bayern got Hummels is beyond me.
I'd just like to point out that United have been back in the CL now for about an hour and they're already further into the competition than Liverpool, who still have to get through qualifiers.
