    They're like 22 in the FIFA rankings.

    I don't understand why Bayern fans(use that term loosely) have an issue with Niko Kovac. Last season wasn't a grand success, but literally only because we got bounced in the R16 by the eventual Champions League winners. This is still one of the top 5 clubs in Europe, and we now have some options for our back line, as a bunch of our defenders play multiple positions. Our midfield is second only to City in the world and we have perhaps one of the deadliest strikers in the world who looks like he's in much better form than last year. I think the race between RB Leipzig and FCB will be good, but Bayern will be better than last season, as long as Neuer stay healthy. If we sign Dembele or Sane then our 11 is as good as anybody's

    Which, tbh, is about as meaningful as the preseason coaches poll.

    Don't think he and Zidane like each other that much.

    Bayern fans to include myself didn’t have a problem with him. Bayern makes no excuses for wanting excellence and getting knocked out easily by Liverpool in the CL didn’t sit well with leadership and a portion of the fan base. He will need to do better this year in the CL to quiet critics. CL is where the money is at these days.

    Yeah, but we got [uck fay]ed with that draw. There were three teams in the competition who were just top to bottom better than us and we drew one of them in the first tie.

    Bayern has good but older players who retired this year. I think they do well this year.

    Another "trophy" in the cabinet. That said, I do think Liverpool wins the EPL this year.

    And what a save by Stones in the 91st minute!

    Chelsea is in for a long season.

    Brand new manager, losing Hazard, transfer ban. No way they’re finishing top 4.

    Harry McGuire as the most expensive defender in the world is a pretty good microcosm of why Manchester United is on a downswing

    If he cost 80 mil or whatever, Alessio Romagnoli is worth 200

    City fleeced Juventus. Not sure what they are doing this summer

    Lol, Dortmund will finish 3rd at best. If Sancho or Alcacer get hurt, they are absolutely [uck fay]ed.
