Group winners don’t directly advance to the final, they still have to play against the 2nd-place team of the other group. The group stage only eliminates the last-place teams.

Like a Gobert trade.

A Gobert trade is like us trading for Trae Young though lol

Another victim of Stoke’s “rugged defending”.

Funnily enough, the VAR of today would still see it as a non-foul so nothing really changed from then.

Work permits screwed us up. By the time he was eligible to get one we reached a point where it’s better to let him go elsewhere.

EPL Fantasy: Now that I dropped Solanke on the bench and kept Trippier in the starting lineup Newcastle goes ahead and lose 2-0 ugh

IIRC WCC and Bamba were higher than Trae if we stuck with #5.

It’s why “Maybe Barnes+Bamba+DSJ ain’t that bad” was the prevailing vibe before the trade happened lol

Fortunately, even if Cristiano Ronaldo plays until 40 I don’t think it’s going to cause an integer overflow
