Goes to show that’s where the league is won. Arsenal were the best team against big six sides the three years before this but constantly tripped up against mid table teams
We don’t have a very technical possession based midfield as far as personnel, especially with Zubimendi falling off a cliff. He gave us that player in the first half of the season. Definitely need to address our technical quality in attack and midfield in the offseason and Mikel needs to refine some stuff tactically.

But also we just still aren’t a very good finishing team, should’ve been up 2/3-0 after the first 60 minutes and coasting. But getting that second goal just feels impossible for the team right now and then nerves kick in given the stakes.

Regardless none of that matters right now. This is how we can get win our last two games and win the double so just get it done

Wrong board. Don’t you know automation and AI is only going to be an issue for those namby pamby college educated white collar workers and those libtard Hollywood and media types?

They could never make robots that do the manual get your hands dirty trade work that real Americans do.
Started out the season like 4-12 in conference play and needed a late surge to even make a regional. Proceeded to not advance in the tournament.

That’s an incredibly mediocre season for a sec program, and a below average one for LSU.
Johnson has three bad seasons in 5. His two good seasons were historically good as far as winning titles (still has never contended for winning the SEC).

At a certain point that’s who he is. Most seasons were going to be hoping to scrape into the tournament. Once every few years he’ll manage to pull together an elite roster with hopefully the best non mlb pitcher in the world (bc that’s the only way he can build an elite team) and he has shown he’s a good postseason manager.
And if someone had said after 2014-2016 Les era in football that we’d have a coach who would deliver us the greatest season and team in college football history but we would crater off a cliff in the following two seasons we all would have taken it.

It doesn’t mean O was a good coach. Jay now has three bad teams out of 5 at LSU. At a certain point the highs become the aberration and the mediocrity the norm
God Rory is feeling himself. I love it. He’s positively chuffed as the lads would say
Neither does Wesley Bryan. Does Bryson want to be a rich man’s Wesley Bryan though?
The allure of YouTube golf is getting the sense that you’re basically a caddy for the player. You get to know what they’re thinking, why they’re hitting what they’re hitting, their reaction. You get a perfect view of every lie and every shot tracer and where every shot ends up.

You go watch Bryson in person at a 50,000 person event and you’ll be lucky to have 5-6 shots where you have a really good view. Definitely won’t have him narrating everything.

Not knocking YouTube golf, there’s a reason it’s popular. But it just doesn’t really translate to going to an event in person or even a normal tourney broadcast.
Bryson seems to have pivoted pretty hard from “I’m here to figure it out with LIV, let’s make it work” to talking in pretty decent detail about how he would get back on tour and why he should be allowed to.

It would be interesting to see what long term bumps he would give tv viewership and fan attendance if he did come back in some capacity. His YouTube fans don’t seem to be tuning into LIV events in any significant way. Maybe he does drive a lot of the in person attendance. But would he on the tour, especially after the initial interest in his return?
Yeah there’s nothing so far that refutes the idea that this is the already very well-understood Andes strain of the virus, which can spread human to human but only in pretty unique circumstances. And it just so happens that being trapped in a Petri dish of a cruise ship for over a month with someone is one of those situations. And it still only spread to 6-7 other people out of 150-200 onboard.

Now that’s a tough sequence for the ref. Blatant foul by PSG 20 yards out that he misses and then cards Diaz for dissent.
Yeah seems like just a perfect storm for human to human transmission for the Dutch couple to catch this strain right before boarding a tightly confined cruise for a month. Hard to design a more disease friendly environment for transmission. Going to a lot of cold places so people inside a lot.

This version of the disease that spreads between humans has been in Argentina and Chile for a long time and never been a real issue as far as mass spreading. Guess we’ll see if it gets significantly past the cruise ship as far as spreading. Would be time to take notice then.

I think natural position is more of a proxy for a question of whether it was intentional when it ends up blocking an opponent’s shot or cross (although idk if that’s the official rule, but seems like that’s the thought behind it). That was obviously not intentional.

Also just zero advantage gained for PSG or an obstacle to Bayern. Think that would be a pretty severely against the spirit of what should be a penalty for handball. And Bayern asking for it is pretty weak.

A PK for intentional handball for blocking your own players clearance out of the box? How on earth is that an intentional handball?

The first one where he gave PSG a free kick was weird but I don’t think it would’ve been a second yellow on Nuno regardless.
Playing actual tournament golf was an afterthought to growing his YouTube channel by 3X. And he wants to do that by dubbing his videos.

That’s what he led with when he said what his goals were. And then he’s happy to fit in tournament golf around that if he can do it on his terms
He said the most important thing to him is he wants to start dubbing his YouTube videos.

Checks out.
The pga tour also hasn’t touched a dime
Of the SSG 1.5 billion yet. They’re doing restructuring and reorganizing because they brought in private equity money and are moving to a for profit entity and have an entirely new management.

Definitely not disingenuous at all to compare that to LIV which had the only source of funding for the entire league decide to shut off the spigot

Still tweeting like a maniac about California’s environmental policies. Not too distracted to go to bat for Sable Offshore.
Four more wins*. Let’s do the double eh?

Also I’m thrilled we took advantage of the draw in the CL. Honestly don’t know if that was just pure luck or how the revamped CL is designed, probably both, but we got a big reward for finishing first overall in the first stage. As we should have.
Because he’s a weird dude. He’s obsessed with being a “disruptor.” I don’t think he wants to play traditional tour golf, both because he doesn’t want the obligations but also because he has a hang up about non-conformist.
