Thanks. That definitely tracks.

Don’t have a problem with the 2h vs United at all. Maybe like 5 teams in Europe can make United unable to leave their box they’re so pinned in.

Didn’t finish their chances then the first time United got over halfway in 25 minutes they score, oh well.

They were probably between the 5th and 7th best team in Europe when they won it, now they’re probably between 7th and 10th.

They had a somewhat lucky run, Arsenal and Spurs have improved since but also haven’t consistently shown they can be better than Chelsea over a full season even if they have looked better so far.

Chelsea also did batter Spurs when Kante was healthy.

Four years ago Chelsea almost sold Jorginho to Arsenal on deadline day they hated him so much. He’s done incredible since then, but his success is largely “playing beside kante or veratti as much as possible.”

It helped that they had a really easy draw in the Champions league (Porto/Athletico Madrid) before the 1-0 victory vs Man City in the final in which Rudiger probably should have gotten red carded.

But the biggest difference is that Kante was the best defensive mid fielder in the world during that run. He was just all over the place.

Jorginho is unplayable if a healthy Kante is not on the field picking up his slack.

I’m here for aof homerism

Look, I get that watching this twice a week is tough.

It’s four hours of torture a week having to sit through that.

It is kind of sad how bad Dortmund is now.

That CL final team was maybe the best fun for the neutral team of the last 15 years.

Really liked the Napoli team with cavanni/hamsik/lavezzi as well but they didn’t win or get close to winning anything.

Just watch Braut and Mmmbop and watch highlights of the rest. They are poised to be the Ronnie / Leo of this decade. Just absurd how good those two are.

Mbappe gets to win a world cup at 18 while it will be huge for Norway to qualify for a tournament.

Haaland will have to settle for winning every piece of hardware possible at the club level, while breaking every goal scoring record on the books in the Prem. There’s never been a better 9 prospect. You couldn’t build a better one from scratch.

***if he can stay healthy.
