Europe's Finest meet for their first dance - CL matchday 1
- Thread starter The Raccoon
- Start date
Richarlison is on such good form you should sit Son for him this weekend (please I’m so tired of watching Son score bangers against us on the counter)
His form is making it look like there's zero chance of that banger happening, so he will definitely start and definitely score it.

Atletico was absolutely uninspiring for most of those 90 minutes, outside of a bit of promise after the start of the second half.
They're really crippling themselves trying to keep Griezmann's minutes clause from triggering. He's certainly not the player her was in the last World Cup, but he's still a force and it sucks that Atletico can't get any sense of consistency in terms of personnel on the pitch because they basically have to play two lineups each game. One from minute 1-60 and the other from 60-90.
Their inability to get Joao Felix the ball earlier in possessions is also infuriating. Why the offense was being filtered through Morata is beyond me. He's got the first touch of a bulldozer with a bad transmission.
I want to believe that the inspiring/fortuitous ending will bring a bit of spark to the team, but really they were undeserving of the win, barely looked dangerous with a man advantage, and, well, damn, it's Atleti so watching them is never going to be comfortable, but I'm tired to watching them pan for goals.

Watched the first half and it looked like 2 sides that have combined for 15 points from 10 domestic league matches - bad turnovers, guys rolling around on the pitch, great chances fluffed (especially for Frankfurt).
Of course the match snapped to life after I turned it off.
If it's still possible to start one before next week, I'd still play.
Well this was super fun to read post-hoc! lolololol
Weston is gonna shine bigly in the WC. Physical specimen-type guys usually do, and Weston fits the bill. Damn right I want Weston going up for headers on corners and set pieces in the Q!
