    Personally I've lost interest after I've made it to Div 4, the matchmaking keeps putting me with pay to plays (somehow I usually beat them, no one has an answer for Dybala + Insigne). Plus the intensity is draining, it's like every game is a final.

    If you ask me, I do think the game is rigged although I can't really recall experiencing it. bs AI on both offense & defense, calamitous goalkeeping...unstoppable goalkeeping lol. EA is known to pull s--- like this, were the fools that keep giving them money. But as consumers we gotta stick together, the game is def scripted and we're the ones getting shafted.

    Him and Cavani for me are the definition of a perfect striker.

    I honestly laughed at this. The Spanish press has treated him like complete s--- for some time, some might say it's warranted & unwarranted in equal measure. At the end of the day, he's still a human and not a robot (as he once said) and he's very much a legend for the contributions he's done for us in his time here, it's a shame this is gonna end on a sour note.

    He's def overhated looking at his contributions to the club tbf! The copa del rey and champions league goals alone made him a legend in my eyes

    @Fire Squad That was one h--- of a performance. Real Madrid were all over PSG. Too bad they let their guard down for few minutes and they conceded 2 stupid fluke goals. PSG deserved nothing. I'm super pleased with the performance and so is every RM supporter. This is the true Real Madrid. Fede Valverde has been brilliant. Eden Hazard has been balling, let's hope his injury is not too serious. The team as a whole has been consistently improving since the loss against Mallorca few weeks ago. One of their best matches in a long while. They're on the right path.

    That was a vintage ZizouBall performance, had to check the calendar to make sure this was 2019 and not 2017. What Fede brings to this team is invaluable, kid presses and covers space like crazy! Very Vidal-like, he just need to continue improving his ability on the ball and he'll be our colossus in midfield for years to come. Darn Keylor proving how invaluable he was for us, practically kept them in this game.

    Hope Hazard's injury is something a simple ice pack will alleviate, he's been finding his form this past month. Shame we threw the game away like you said, likewise it gave me high hopes for the rest of the season.

    @Fire Squad My country (Bahrain) won the gulf cup (24th edition, held in Qatar) for the first time ever in their history and the first trophy for the nation. 1-0 against Saudi Arabia. It's a historic day for the nation. Celebrations everywhere right now in the streets.

    @Fire Squad What did you think of Son's sensational goal against Burnley? All I have to say is if Messi scored that goal (Yes he has scored similar one in the past), we would have seen the media make a huge fuss about it.

    & Hazard to miss el clasico. I don't know how it went from him being out for 10 days to 4 weeks. Anyhow, I'm confident in the team.

    Good to see another team than Juventus leading Serie A. This season is Inter Milan's best chance to win the league.

    Son's goal was...phenomenal, really no words to describe the difficulty of it. In what way do you say that far back when he got possession "hmm, I guess I'll just take it all the way from here then". Look at the ball control at the speed he was running in, each touch was measured and with purpose.

    We're in good form, but that is a huge loss in what will be a decaf Clasico. I expect Zidane to go with some experienced legs aka Isco & Bale, sending in the Brazilian Boy Wonders at hopefully a fatigued Barca backline much later. Hope we get a good result, we need to get those piece of s----s back from last season.

    Serie A has been fun to watch, the marriage of Sarri and Juve (CR7 + De Ligt for that matter) hasn't been a fruitful one thus far. He's got a lot of square pegs in round holes, they've been pulling off results thanks to individual quality, Lazio is a formidable team and that red card let the sharks circle in. Hopefully Inter gives them a good title race.

    Real title race is in the Bundesliga this year, there's been dramatic results every week! Idk how much longer Marco Rose's Mochengladback will keep turning water into wine but the miracles kept coming when they crushed Bayern. Schalke & BvB still got plenty of mileage too, everything is far from finished!

    A hard loss for Ajax there Chelsea and Valencia get through to the last 16. Lyon and Dortmund sneaking in as well.

    Ancelotti sacked... loved him at Chelsea so sad to see him leave Napoli but they really need to fix their s---, they really should be contending with Inter and Juve (who both have former chelsea managers and Im rooting for Conte :'))
