Felix's agent done him dirty man lol

Isn't his agent Jorge?

One of the biggest missteps ever but the folks that needed to get paid got paid.

This is the correct answer. I cry no tears for the young man.

If Fankkk was here I'm 100% convinced we would have been knocked out by this trash btw

Kante is something else. His football IQ is underrated, reads the game brilliantly and athletically is a beast. And plays with a smile. The GOAT DM in my eyes,

idk about GOAT. But he’s the best I’ve watched

250K/week at 19 years old - yeah he'll be fine

The role of a defensive midfielder includes defending. Busquets is a failed attacking midfield who plays “DM” in heavily possession oriented teams surrounded by some of the best players of all time. Busquets doesn’t have a defensive bone in him and rarely has to do any defending. Pato’s goal against Barcelona shows how actually useless Busquets is when it comes to defending. Anyone can get past him one on one. Kante’s performance for Leicester and Chelsea helping them win EPL titles is more impressive than anything Busquets ever did. Busquets is a heavy system player, while Kante isn’t. I forget sometimes that Kante won player of the year in the EPL, and could have arguably won it twice.

Outside of Leicester. All the English teams are doing well on Europe....We can't lose tommrow or well be the laughing stock of England. Hell, this week is very important. If we lose tommrow and at Leicester in the FA Cup, there's gonna be more members of the Ole Out club on Sunday.

 

[Bboystyle]

fukk Chelsea and fukk Atletico. I wish them nothing but the worst.

 

[Low End Derrick]

Man City - Monchengladbach (City will be boring, but will get the job done)
Bayern - Lazio (Good luck, Lazio)
Atletico - Chelsea (This ones probably the closest to call, but Chelsea should see off Atletico)
Liverpool - Leipzig (Liverpool look shaky af right now, but they should beat Leipzig...)
Juventus - Porto ( See Bayern/Lazio)
Paris - Barcelona (This aint the same Barca as 3/4/5 years ago. It's a dub)
Dortmund - Sevilla (Dortmund on their day can be a problem for anyone. I expect them to overpower Sevilla)
Real Madrid - Atalanta (See Liverpool/Leipzig)

7 out of 8. Not too shabby.

Some of you guy's predictions, though

 

[Yippee Ki Yay]

The goat DM is the guy who had the position named after him
Claude Makèlèlè
Kante is still great though
