@kair0e @LegionHoops On the basketball side, the year after they were 2nd seed in the east without him and took the celtics to 7 in the playoffs with Siakam playing terribly. He got the money and went back home like he wanted though

@LegionHoops He did it for money, and there were no guarantees of a repeat so why not?

Sometimes I wonder if Kawhi regrets leaving Toronto.
English
@thatmadridguy__ @FutsalDynamo7 You're saying this as if you weren't gifted 2 goals from Neuer
English
@FutsalDynamo7 Any decently good goalkeeper would save at least one of those goals before Olise’s one we conceded.
English
I kind of understand why Carlo Ancelotti played an injured Thibaut Courtois ahead of Lunin in Champions League final.
English
@abhisinghsaikia @MadridXtra It is literally the European equivalent of that, same with the Intercontinental Cup and old CWC. Once you win the ucl, you're expected to win those trophies. They aren't trophies you care about by the end of the season.
English
@joycon6ix @MadridXtra So you are equating it with trophies like Community Shield 🤣🤣
English
Back-to-back trophyless seasons for the first time in 16 years.
English
@abhisinghsaikia @MadridXtra It's a preseason trophy and essentially an extension of winning the UCL. UCL winners dominate it
English
@joycon6ix @MadridXtra Its still a relevant trophy and we literally lost to Atleti in 2018.
English
@ahm3db0ual1 @IamZeone11 @nanbasenfc Exactly, we lost Dani Alves and didn't replace him. Sergi was never a top rb
English
@IamZeone11 @joycon6ix @nanbasenfc Brother sergi was always mid, just an average player playing out of position.

"Enrique fumbled a 3-1 lead to Roma with prime MSN"
Not Steven@NotSteven01
Enrique fumbled a 3-1 lead to Roma with prime MSN. Conceded 3 to Juve and scored 0 to comeback. And conceded 4 to PSG. But hey, let’s act like it wasn’t the fans who ran him out the club with the idea that “he only won cause MSN and didn’t know about tactics”.
English
@excellente_6 Pushing after 2-2 almost led to the 3rd goal from Fermins chance. Easy to say it was a mistake in hindsight, but at the time it would've been foolish to stop riding the momentum.
English
This bayern team are 90% Flicks team minus Lamine being a witch, 3-2 down, stupidly high high line, pressing just to press, all in a game where you should be making it as boring as possible. FCB 100% go through yesterday if they don’t push after 2-2. Say no to basketball coaches.
English
@AmericanTrent @TeaKupps The club letting Alves go without a proper replacement was the nail in the coffin for 16/17 ucl hopes
English
Enrique’s spell at Barca was highly overrated.
Managers should always be judged off context and based off that—These 2 Flick szns>>>> Whatever Lucho did at Barca in his 3 year spell.
Zeus@AJ_NP_
I think Luis Enrique is a better tactician than Flick, but I also think he too would not give us the UCL with the current players we have.
English
@AhabweArth80793 @InvertTheWing 2nd season in Miami, 9th season in the league
English
@joycon6ix @InvertTheWing In his tweet he's saying "Lebron won in his 3rd season "
Unfortunately he's deleted the tweet but he said "in his 5th season he won his first ring"
My question is when did Lebron actually win his first "ring"
English
@FUTDonkey You're spot on that his system is the reason Barca's attack is so good. Flick could definitely adapt more during different parts of matches though; defending after taking the lead vs Inter last year would've seen Barca through to the final.
English
Weird tacticos who rattle on about the high press constantly refuse to acknowledge that their attacking proficiency is a direct result of the way they press. They were also missing 2 of their best players in this Atletico tie, he will get over the line eventually.
English
Hansi Flick is becoming very underrated. 7 trophies in 2 seasons at Bayern, on course for 5 in 2 seasons at Barca. Serial winner who plays some of the most exciting football in Europe. 2 exits in the CL where Barca was clearly the better team shouldn't overshadow how great he is.
English
@IamZeone11 @nanbasenfc He had old Iniesta and his RB was Sergi Roberto
English
@nanbasenfc And yeah let's ignore the part where got spanked 3-0 by juventus and 4-0 by psg away with prime MSN 🤡
English
@WINNABOII @InvertTheWing They play much better as a team without him. He doesn't press enough for Enrique's system
English
@joycon6ix @InvertTheWing If mbappe had stayed he would have won it eventually. You are saying it like he's the problem. Didn't PSG play the semi finals in his last season????
English
@AhabweArth80793 @InvertTheWing He meant 3rd season for Miami, and Mbappe with Madrid
English
@InvertTheWing I don't follow NBA, so if I may ask what did Lebron win in his 3rd season if not "the ring?"
English
@InvertTheWing On top of that, Mbappe joined Madrid team that won the league and UCL. Now they're on track for back to back seasons without a single major trophy
English
@InvertTheWing After Lebron left, Cleveland immediately became the worst team in the east. In PSG's first season without Mbappe, they won their first ever UCL and treble.
English
@abhisinghsaikia @MadridXtra The ucl winner is expected to win that, it barely counts for anything
English
@MadridXtra We did win the super Cup and intercontinental cup last season
English
@ByTimReynolds I honestly don’t think any of those guys could have kept playing but yes this situation is odd.
English
Jordi Alba left years on the table.
Sergio Busquets likely could have kept playing.
Javier Mascherano wins a Cup, goes 3-1-3 to start this MLS season and leaves for "personal reasons" but his whole staff departs as well?
And yes, yellow lot traffic is bad.
But this is weird.
