I couldn't have been more right. I told yall from day one that it was the luckiest thing I ever saw. They got lucky in every aspect of every game they played in.

I also told yall Mahrez was bad.

I also said Vardy was average and that he was having a fluke/ one off season.

And you might argue and say yeah but it was still a great Cinderella story, good for the league blah blah blah but it wasn't. Winning with luck has not changed the league one bit and leaping praise on them as a Cinderella story takes away from teams like Watford, Swansea(to a lesser extent recently) Chapecoense, and RB Leipzig( although i do get the hate) who all have great stories themselves.

They haven't had this many games to play since their tGOATpionship years. They know their place and have gone all in on the champions league. I thought they'd at least push for a top ten finish this time.

Speaking of tGOATpionship. Im going to be so but hurt when Monk earns promotion and Swansea go down.

Rather be really lucky than just good.

I keep telling the lsu football negatigers, lsu can go undefeated in 2017. Natty too.

A tip, a loose ball recovered fumble. It happens.

"Luck, be a lady tonight."

Is Leicester going to win the Champions League just to spite MLSter?

This thread needs to be periodically bumped just incase we forget how much of a moron MLSter is.

That and his "i could play in the MLS" posts.

I know him. He could have definitely played in the MLS if he wanted to.

Was he the best high school player you ever saw? Or an amazing college player?

Neither of those things mean you will play in the MLS because you want to.

I mean, at least back up your claim with reasoning.

Because some people just don't want to play a game for money and enjoy the spoils of everything being a professional athlete entails. Yep. Give me a 9-5 any day over that mundane life

Melt bitches. I've been to my fair share of Dynamo matches so I know what I'm talking about. I've played with former academy kids and he would shite all over them.

I knew a kid who at the age of 12 or 13 was twice as good as someone that eventually made the MLS (RIP Kirk Urso). He could cross from anywhere on the field with his left foot from a stand still position at that age. He ended up barely playing at some directional state school.

I absolutely would have said the same about that kid and he didn't come close to sniffing the MLS.

I think you're overrating the MLS lifestyle a bit friendo. Probably the talent level of the league too.

What Academy kids? Because FC Dallas Academy kids regularly shite all over Dynamo Academy kids.

And next question, if he could have easily played in MLS, then why didn't he?

He has bigger and better dreams. Wanted something more. Hard to fault him for that.
