Will be a yoyo club and some EPL regulars coming back up next year from the Championship.

Wolves, Cardiff City in the locked position with Fulham, Aston Villa, Middlesbrough, and Derby County in the playoff at present.

Sunderland down to League 1, yikes. Blackburn coming back up to the championship. And of course, MK Dons getting relegated to league 2 while Wimbledon stays up is lulz worthy.

I almost enjoy more watching the lower league tables and keeping track of any teams rocketing up the ladder.

Yeah, I don't think I'd have been too upset to see the Saints drop as with the wonders of the internet and streaming, I probably still could have watched them, and they'd be playing in a league where there aren't super teams. It's just easier to watch with them in the EPL.

Also, with Huddersfield securing an EPL slot for next season, all three promoted teams survived their first year in the EPL.

Another also... Wayne Rooney joining DC United.

Sunderland finally got what they deserve for hiring that fascist **** Paolo Di Canio (incidentally, Swindon Town, his other employer, is now rottening in League 2).

Now only if Freiburg gets at least one point in the last game to avoid relegation - and this season will be success.

One interesting seasonal development - in 2nd Bundesliga, teams No. 4 to No. 17 are all within 8 points!

What? Missing worrying about relegation until the last round?

We are getting Dortmund/Hoffenheim on over-the-air Fox this morning.

I in many ways enjoy the Bundesliga more than the EPL.

1981:
English prince got married
Liverpool won the Champions League (well, the predecessor of...)
The pope died

2005:
English prince got married
Liverpool won the Champions League
The pope died

2018:
English prince about to get married
Liverpool is in the finals of the Champions League
Somebody should tell the pope to break up that damn wedding...

There are a lot of Catholics who wouldn't be sad about Liverpool triumphing.

I'm so bummed the US isn't in. The World Cup is so fun

Anyone that has England that high hasn't calibrated it correctly... also, why is Italy on the list?

Postby **Gaucho** » Fri May 18, 2018 8:34 am

... also, why is Italy on the list?

Only reason I posted it.

Also, Belgium is too high, France too low. Colombia and probably Croatia are way too low.

Now watch Belgium reach the semis ...

Postby **count2infinity** » Fri May 18, 2018 8:35 am

Costa Rica is in the correct location since they don't have Italy in the tourney to beat...

France is absolutely stacked. When Anthony Martial, Alex Lacazette, Kingsley Colman, and Adrien Rabiot are left off the squad, you know you got talent

I don’t love their outside backs, and not really sure why N’Zonzi made it over Rabiot, but man are they deep.

But you can say that about France most of the time and they never seem to put it together

My top favorites, in order, are: France, Spain, Germany, Brazil, Italy. You must never underestimate Italy.
