What a great name for a playmaker that Merlin is

 

[Evilo]

Le Fee seems very lightweight though and it shows in duels. When he gets downhill though he is so dangerous.

Actually he's one of the best ball retrievers in Ligue 1.
10 takeaways last game.

 

[Venkman]

Think I know 2. but had to look at a couple of squads.

 

[Evilo]

Go ahead, give a name!

 

[Venkman]

[Evilo]

David Pereira Da Costa

Enzo and Pedri have a lot of things in common. Both are CMs, both play on the Iberian peninsula.

Both have won Young Player of the Tournament at a major tournament.

What did their respective Young Player of the Tournament runs have in common?

If the cops hadn't taken away my ability to react to things, you'd be swimming in angry reaccs right now

 

[Power Man]

This is getting too difficult tbh

Okay fine. Both had an own goal?

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Okay fine. Both had an own goal?

Yep, bingo. If I wanted to be an asshole, I'd make you take it a step further - both had an own goal in the Round of 16, specifically.

I just found out the kid in this video grew up two towns over from where I grew up

 

[bluesfan94]

How many Eredivisie teams has 0 clean sheet this season? Which?

Pretty sure they all have had clean sheets

 

[Evilo]

Nobody?

Come on people!

 

[Evilo]

Well, no proposal...
The answer was : Ajax !

Next question :
Who said the following :
"I've always believed Messi was better than Ronaldo. And now that I've trained with Ronaldo, I now realize I was always right".

Ajax had a clean sheet against Sparta Rotterdam in MW3, Utrecht in MW 4, Cambuur in MW 5, Rangers in MW1 of CL group stage, and Heerenveen in MW 6.

They've given up 18 goals in 15 league matches, including 4 on Dec. 7 and 3 on Nov. 12. Take out those two games, and you have 11 goals in 13 league matches, making it functionally impossible not to have had a clean sheet.

I think the question was meant to read as “which Eredivisie team hasn’t been clean-sheeted”, in which case Ajax would be right because they’ve scored in all their league games

True in the league, but they were held scoreless by Liverpool
