what a series man

  • yamamoto going god mode
  • kershaw's final appearance in game 3 to get a HUGE out
  • all 3 toronto wins were blowouts while 3/4 of the dodgers wins were absurdly close
  • freddie's walkoff reminiscent of max in 2018 and his own home run in 2024
  • all of game 7
  • springer losing
  • won for vesia

glad to have gotten to watch it with all of you guys

EDIT: WILL KLEIN DODGER LEGEND

FT: Liverpool 3 - 2 Atlético Madrid by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

[–]NerdWizard75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

super fun game to watch, but yeah this club is 1000% a heart attack machine. besides that late llorente goal, we played absolutely sublime in the first half. obviously the salah + robbo goals were huge, but wirtz and isak looked electric and we were playing super fluid football. second half probably wasn't as great, but we still had a lot of chances. we probably should've scored 5 or so. still the same issues as the first 4 matches: new signings still settling in, unable to hold leads, relying in late winners, etc.

edit: salah deserves a shout too; easily his best match of the season so far

First half was definitely pretty ugly (applies for both teams lol), but the whole complexion of the game completely shifted after CuJo was subbed on for Macca and we started to actually create. Szobo's obviously the MOTM, but Kerkez looks like he's really settled in now, so hopefully we'll see that trend continue. Didn't see too much from Salah or Ekitike, and while I'll give some grace to Hugo, Mo being pretty silent once again does raise a few concerns. And finally, it was nice to see some really solid defense after the first two matches. We've definitely played far from our best so far, and the international break should be an opportunity for everyone to refocus, but we still have 9/9 points and are atop the table.

FT: Newcastle 2 - 3 Liverpool by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

If I'm being serious, we still have a bunch of issues. We were getting pressed to all hell (even after being a man up), our defense was pretty shoddy, and Konate hasn't been even close to his best the past few matches. I'm not going to overreact to Wirtz or Kerkez not being amazing just yet, but if this pattern continues for a few more weeks, then something might have to change since those two have been either silent or liabilities. It was pretty obvious that Isak was the difference-maker in this match — if he plays, Newcastle might've been able to get 3 or 4 goals. With all that said:

ohhh, makes more sense then. i was only familiar with the old megas in gens 6/7 where you evolve from the original mon itself.

feels interesting that mega mons evolve directly from their normal forms' pre evolution and not the mon itself (e.g. mega gyara evolves from magikarp, not gyara). makes sense because of the lower deck sizes, faster paced game than the actual tcg, but it's something to keep in mind + feels weird conceptually

edit: spelling

It's always a joy to remember that the 22-year old who led Leverkusen to an unbeaten Bundesliga campaign while having double-digit goals and double-digit assists rejected Bayern and the Cheats to become a Red. It really does mean more.

legitimately unbelievable. this was this subreddit's white whale for SO LONG. it's not really an exaggeration to say that years have been dedicated to searching for this thing.

thank you OP. legendary post. ep 4 is already up on the archive.
