Boxing is good with GGG, Andre ward, mayweather

Liverpool haven't been relevant for 20 years yet somehow you have an interest in them.

I'm not as big of a fan now since the sport turned to **** due to the whole doping mess but I used to stay glued in front of the TV for 3/4 hours a day every day during the summer would even watch the big mountain stages from 12 to 6. Know many other people that were the same.

that being said you're right in saying lolcricket though so i'd qualify that as 50% of a good post

Cycling GOAT.

Cricket GOAT

Basically, all strategy/long game sports are GOAT. Should probably extend football matches from 90 minutes to 7 hours.

our football is too boring, lets give jose a call = absolutely baffling thought process

you've lost your gosh darned mind

test match cricket is a magnificent sport

Obviously, you would have to have a brain the size of a walnut to think otherwise.

4,000+ posts and finally got my first semi-good one!

You guys watch/like baseball? It's not my favorite American sport by any means but it's the ultimate strategy American sport

American Football > Rugby (which I'm reading a book now and I had no idea euro football basically started as an offshoot of Rugby? )

Baseball > Cricket

Football > Everything

lol

How could you say baseball is the ultimate strategy sport all while the usage of closers is so antiquated

for instance, you're up 2-1 in the bottom 8th and opponent has 3-4-5 hitters due up. instead of going with your best relief pitcher, you trot out the "setup" guy and then save your best to face the 9th, all so that he can get a little S stat. I guess baseball is "strategic" in the manner you look at statistics and switch right handers and left handers for advantages, but it's not like the players on the field are doing much in regard to creative thinking. A shift? wow, so strategic. if anything that just shows how piss poor so many batters are that they can't lay down a bunt or go opposite field if their life depended on it.

the complicated strategies that some baseball managers employ almost invariably reduce their team's chances of winning

I think it takes a lot more brains to excel in the NBA as a coach than it does baseball.

Any brandy drinkers ITT? Need to get a high end bottle as an xmas present but no idea what's best.

I for one am shocked that a poster named LFC_USA believes American sports > European sports and American beer > European beer

And therein lies the strategy. Educate me on cricket strategy

No. NBA coaches are by far the least relevant of all sports. Luckbox top 3 player itw and roll the balls out.

Football/soccer > everything tho. And not that LOL product we call MLS.

American beer > European beer is really indisputable

While I agree with you a bit, for every 1 popovich there are a dozen spoelstra's. A long and productive NBA coaching career takes a pretty talented individual.

If we are talking about local breweries, there may be a point. With regards to main stream beer LOL on you.

if your bowler likes the occasional googly then you're probably best off with a silly point, whereas if you're employing a slow left arm chinaman you'll be wise to go with a very fine leg

Asbolutely. Mainstream breweries are just huge LOL USA, but local breweries have the field completely dominated

Can't believe this sport hasn't caught on here

Your last few posts have been so feeble that it would be a futile exercise. As pointless as trying to teach a woman the value of a good forward defensive stroke, as General Melchett once said.

Mourinho is obviously a defensive coach but his football is no way more boring/negative than LVG/Moyes. He still has the record for most goals scored in La Liga/EPL with Madrid/Chelsea.

I agree, don't particularly want Mourinho but the reality is SAF was a total one off and the majority of managers will probably only last a few years. Mourinho would basically guarantee a league title and a decent shot at Europe in his 3 seasons especially with the spending power United have, I'd take that even if it meant a 3rd or 4th season meltdown.


This, nothing can be worse than the last 2+ seasons.

Marc Jackson coached a team to 50 wins and a 1st round exit.

1 year later a good coach takes over the exam same roster, Curry is only 1 year older and they go on to win 67 and the ring. Coaches irrelevant though
