Oh come on, this isn't Martial we're talking about. Sancho actually has a footballing brain to go with his talent

It is the EPL. Any forward can score there. They have like 4 good midfielders for the entire league.Martial produced more

We've done this many times before, there are almost as many guys who scored significantly worse in the BuLi than have scored significantly better.
But yes, Bundesliga teams are generally better coached than teams from the lesser leagues ;-)
Come on man, the offense for all type of football is entertaining but very open.
Heck we're talking about Sancho but you can write down basically every players who's produced in the Buli and struggled in the EPL.
Can't think of many counter examples.

Look up my old posts about this, I have no interest in putting together another list for you to conveniently "forget" the next time you want to repeat this myth.

Argentina easily disposed of Italy in that game. Holy smokes do Argentina look fine tuned and prime to do some damage at the World Cup. That was also vintage Messi dictating play and toying with the opposing team at times.
That Italian program is in total shambles though and it also shows how many teams just bottled it at the Euro's. Suck it Donnarumma!

Argentina is winning the World Cup. What an unreal atmosphere, group of players, coaches and fans.

Has it gotten so bad that you now call losing to the germans in a final "winning the World Cup"?

While talking about how fired up the squad is to prove themselves to the german public in the upcoming NL matches, Thomas Müller made it sound like he wants to keep going through the next euros in germany.
God damn oldies refusing to let go...he says about a player he's 5 months older than...
As long as he doesn't block the kids and is there in something between the Podolski role...moral support & human victory cigar...and an assistant coach position, I don't really mind and might even still start him against certain teams at this WM given that Wirtz won't be back in time.
I'm just annoyed with Neuer's refusal to step aside for MAtS & complaining about any german oldie clinging on when there's younger world-class talent ready to take over for them. I get why the old guys didn't want 2018 to be their swansong, but these past euros were an acceptable goodbye for that generation.

Pulisic calls out U.S. fans after beating Morocco
Christian Pulisic was critical of the number of USMNT supporters at TQL Stadium during a 3-0 win over Morocco on Wednesday.
Almost 20k for a warmup in Cincinnati seems like a good crowd to me.

Inside Kyiv on the night of Ukraine's stunning victory
As Ukrainians return to Kyiv in the ongoing war with Russia, their national team played the match of their lives.

This Argentina feels different. Although I said that about the Leafs 
I have a lot of money riding on Messi lifting the Jules Rimet

Argentina beating a team that missed World Cup and suddenly they are winning it all?

I feel like Sweden is the NT in Europe that gets’ the most penalties.
How many games have they gotten a penalty in? Better yet, how many games where a penalty has been the only goal/goals they have scored?
Might be me, but I feel like everytime I watch the stats, Sweden have won on a penalty, and more often than not, not alot of possession.

Why torture yourself?
Another putrid display from Portugal. Amazing how players show up from their clubs and lose all semblance of form and skill.
Spain lack a clinical attack, otherwise Enrique has done a fantastic job renovating the team.
