That stuff you're having must be pretty good. It's also nice that you're sharing it with Trent:

To be honest, the hissy fit thrown by Real Madrid and its fans
for Vini Jr. missing out is almost as entertaining as making
fun of milivella. Almost.

I feel sorry for Carlo Ancelotti... he fully deserved his
managerial award but because of the boycott by Real Madrid he
missed out on being there to collect it.

It also goes to show that clubs know in advance who has won the
main prize despite UEFA claiming otherwise.

*December 16 2007*? After he had already accumulated 8 international
caps and scored 3 goals?

https://www.transfermarkt.us/karim-benzema/nationalmannschaft/spieler/18922

A pick so obviously contrary to the spirit of Fantasy Scout that you
actually had to change the rules to explicitly make it invalid.

Also, LOL. You had to wait until December 2007 (8 caps and 3 goals
already under his belt) before you woke up and picked Benzema?

When your roster already has super-promising players such as
Anderson, Brazil, 1988.04.13 (2007.01.06)
Domenico Criscito, Italy, 1986.12.30 (2007.05.09)
Mathieu Flamini, France, 1984.03.07 (2007.01.06)
Fernando Gago, Argentina, 1986.04.10 (2007.01.15)
Mario Gomez, Germany, 1985.07.10 (2007.07.08 -6)
Lucas, Brazil, 1987.01.09 (2007.08.10)
Samir Nasri, France, 1987.06.26 (2007.07.08 -4)
Jermaine Pennant, England, 1983.01.15 (2007.01.06)
Rafinha, Brazil, 1985.09.07 (2007.01.06)
...you cannot risk to lower you score by picking any great-but-not-greatest-of-all-time player.

ChatGPT, can you show me an example of a person raising the white flag
in an internet debate?
