Oh sure, it's always someone else's fault, right?

It’s UEFA’s fault because the amateurs running these clubs can’t figure out if a player is actually suspended or not... I mean, seriously, how hard is that? It's not rocket science.

And don't even get me started on the guys over at Široki. They go out on an away trip with three Brazilians, only to have them sent straight back from the border because nobody bothered to check if they even had visas... absolute amateurs.😁

Hold on, wait, there's more!

Look at Zrinjski: fifty minutes into the match, instead of absolutely crushing those Luxembourgish amateurs, they start staring at the scoreboard, counting down the seconds until it's over, deciding they've done enough running for one day... and of course, they end up getting shelled for four goals.😁 😁

Then you've got Velez and Boston... they haven't even met the bare minimum requirements to show up in UEFA competitions.

But hey, blame everyone else, why not? It's easier than taking responsibility.

Man, what a freaking masterpiece!!!

That’s my favorite part—when they don't have the guts to actually say "the best," so they scramble for these vague synonyms like "most impactful," "most significant," or whatever other nonsense they can cook up.

Across all Western media, there's this obsessive craze for these "Top 100" or "Top 10" lists using those "most this" or "most that" labels. Honestly, nobody sane takes these fancy-pants lists seriously anymore. At most, they're just a vague snapshot of opinion, nothing more.
So, I don't even see the point in commenting on this TIME Magazine list, because if I actually started... well, you know.

You can head over to the NBA store and grab whatever jerseys you want. If you’ve got the cash and a credit card, there's zero hassle.

Here’s one of those tired old clichés we keep hearing:
In a shootout, your car is cover.

Let me tell you something: a car is NOT cover. Period. It’s not even close. There isn't a single theory in the book that supports this. The only thing on that vehicle that might actually stop a bullet is the engine block, and even then, that surface area is way too small to rely on. As for the rest of the bodywork? Bullets will rip through that sheet metal like it's made of wet cardboard.

I’d throw in some Thin Lizzy and AC/DC too...

I’d throw Andalusia in the mix down south too.

Has anyone else noticed how Spanish players seem to have this weird habit of just cratering mid-career?
For instance: Guardiola moved to Italy and just completely tanked. Mendieta? He wasn't even a shadow of the player he used to be at Valencia. And then there's that Milan duo—Javi Moreno and Jose Mari—where did they even vanish to?

But hey, look; even if you take the guys who *didn't* crash and burn, you could still build a powerhouse squad. It just feels like the constant pressure of failing in the leagues is starting to haunt them and hold them back... though you never know.

...watched it on NBC last night. Did any of you catch it? What’d you think?

Honestly? Pretty stupid. I wasn't expecting that much nauseating, love-your-country, patriotic sludge.

Peter Sellers; honestly, calling him Inspector Clouseau says it all.

Inspector Clouseau; you really only need one look at him to get the point.
