Great piece. Thanks for posting. I can see him being something of a footnote in history after he retires, eclipsed by more spectacular names, but there haven't been many more complete players in the Prem.

 

Holy cow! Virgil Van Dijk won European footballer of the year award over Messi and Ronaldo

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSS

all-around awesome player and well-deserved award

i think demonyo called it

A deserved win but Liverpool's defence needs to improve on its shaky start if he wants to retain it.

i haven’t seen a single game yet but srsly looking forward to tomorrow’s everton vs wolfitos

arsenal v liverpool i caught the initial 15 minutes in a macdonalds (!) off the interstate highway. yep. there was a mexican man teaching his kid game concepts while we drank our coffee. “mira cómo le pasa la bola a su compañero y va abriendo el juego”.

beautiful little chunk of the day that was.

I've just spent a solid half-hour discussing the AFC World Cup qualifiers with a friend. God Asian soccer is mad.

Hell's bells what a mess up there for Wolves.

Oh and there's the equaliser.

this game start does not disappoint!

Dreadful defending by both sides for the goals though!

im a glass half full kind of person haaahaahaaa

enjoying this

Well that calmled down a lil bit. I'd say Everton are on top just about, but Wolves aren't gonna make it easy. Iwobi is looking a solid signing for Everton too.

dammit my stream stopped at 70’ (legit, paid nbc app)

wow. var.

For the less discerning football fans amongst you, the second round of AFC World Cup qualifiers starts in about an hour with Guam v Maldives. I don't know about you, but I'm genuinely hyped for Mongolia v Myanmar.

wait. frank lampard is running chelsea??

i expect he’s gonna swiftly shut down any disrespect or insurrection against him...

Jawohl! Vier zu Zwei für die Holländer gegen Deutschland in ein ganz tolles Match

hahahahaaa!

congrats!
