Why did Porto sacrifice Andre Silva, isn't he their best attacker?

Leicester winning the league was just the flukiest thing ever.
It was the way it seemed to take the league half a season or more to notice that Vardy liked to run into acres of space, and that Mahrez liked cutting in on his left foot.
Everyone's noticed now :lol:

Looks a wild challenge on first viewing. Then you look again, and the attacker has "cleverly" positioned himself, so that what was a 99/100 straight forward defender slides it out for a throw scenario, looks like a bad challenge

Leicester hoofing it every single time the get it. It's embarrassing that such a team is representing England in the PL. They're championship quality and Sevilla are exposing them.

It's a stupid challenge and well deserving of a second yellow

Yeah the players does turn, but he was always going to be there first, so Telles was always going to end up going through him.

Lol triple red to me: straight first on Cuadrado, 3/4 of a red on Licht, third red for pushing the ref.

Juventus are the playground bully in Serie A but always shit themselves when it comes to the Champions League.

So, Leicester have a throw-in in an advanced position next to the corner flag of the Sevilla half of the pitch.

Mahrez takes the throwing, Morgan comes short to receive the ball and instead of giving it back to Mahrez (or another creative player) he turns towards the box and tries to dribble two Sevilla players to put in a cross. He proceeds to get easily dispossessed and gives away a foul to stop the inevitable counter.

This is just shambolic, amateurish stuff. Like everyone does whatever the feck they want, with no plan.

Dybala's long distance shots are special. How many times has this guy hit the framework over the past few weeks?
