holy shit i almost became a victim of my own hate and misery and stupidity
Almost? :D

Right on brother. Always thought about moving abroad but nobody would take me prolly.
I hate that commoditized "bucket list" mentality out there. But #YOLO aside, if it's something you wish you'd do to better complete your life, it's a great life experience.

I intentionally did it when I wasn't in my 20s ... by quite some time. Any older, and I'd be a retiree and that's a whole other experience. Or I couldn't deal with the physical demands of packing up a house of 20 years, tossing 90% of it out, and moving yourself out to a new country.

But at my age, it's been a bit of a renaissance of sorts. A way to keep challenging yourself, to force yourself out of complacency so you keep growing, etc. It's never too late to do it, and I'm glad I didn't wait until I was more of a retiree for that.

Amazing food and they have their governmental sh*t together. But everything is in a shopping mall and at 1° latitude off the equator the place always feels like a sauna. So not really my thing.

He can say "yea, it's a knockout ROUND, but not a knockout GAME".

Bonucci's beginning to pick up little knocks often these days
There was once a time where the D line was littered with bodies and Boner was the only standing regular. Those days are gone.

When you give a stupid non response, the other person is correct. Thanks :tup:

- - - Updated - - -

team literally can not get knocked out on Wednesday and you have dildos on here calling it a knockout game. You can’t buy this level of stupidity.
Actually, you're the dense Muppet here. It's called the knockout stage - it's in the name. We can argue semantics and the fact that it's a misnomer, but for all intents and purposes, it's a knockout tie. Over two legs, one team will advance and the other will go home.

The game itself may not be make or break, but a bad result here can go a long way to ensuring we don't progress.

Fagioli in a CL knockout game..

Just chill with the hype
Yeah let’s chill..

And start Fagioli!

Jokes aside, probably not happening but there’s a chance imo. Rabiot played 4 games in the last 2 weeks and Fagioli is the only midfielder with characteristics that somewhat look like Arthurs. I listened to some parts of the press conference and Pirlo said that Porto is a team with the same style as Atletico, so he probably expects them to play defensively. Easier for someone like Fagioli to play when we have more possession.

Would be cool to see him playing tomorrow, but Ramsey is more likely to start I guess.

Starting the game for him won't happen. I think Pirlo will deploy Rabiot - Bentancur - McKennie but I think that there's a good chance for the kid to have his debut in CL tomorrow, probably some 10-15 minutes as long as the result is good.

Against Crotone Pirlo might have no choice though. Ramsey just got back to train with the group, you can't risk him too much with Arthur being already out for a few weeks.

Rabiot is suspended against Crotone. 100% he starts tomorrow barring any sudden injury.
