@Manutinho_FCB It wasn't the crossbar, it was whichever idiot out of Koeman/Alemany/Laporta decided to register him w/ the first team on deadline day...
@NealGardner_ No, you wouldn't. If you were a Madrid fan, you'd have the Madrid fan mindset, where your player winning the BdO is worth as much as any trophy. There is nothing wrong with that mindset, to each their own....
@kevvwill Exactly this. Also, dignity pretty much went out the window the minute Atleti started posting Barca players in their jersey...
Over tge last few years, I keep feeling like Atleti is becoming a more and more unserious institution, and I'm not at all happy to see that...
@kevvwill Yeah, that was kind of the point of my remark. No need to do it again if you've already tried once w/ little to moderate success – there are things I like about the remake, but it's certainly inferior, and I certainly don't need a third version
@jdeposicion Definitely, and the FIGC has been a shitshow ever since I can remember, even more so recently. Yet I still find it a little OTT that they quit over this: 1) it's kind of an understandable dealbreaker; 2) it's Pirlo, a legendary player, but not really a can't-miss-out-on manager
@warrenback2back@RafaelH117 Yeah, he literally got five of those against Iraq and Norway B. Was imo pretty ineffective against serious opposition, even despite his goal against Morocco; and I still think that is connected to the amount of games he played in this short period...
