    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 26 days ago

      Has Haaland touched the ball yet?

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 month, 26 days ago

        Only needs about 3 touches per half to score

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 26 days ago

        Do something, Vini!

  15. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    1 month, 26 days ago

    Had the balls to get Bruno G over Dembele. Now I get punished, the only time I needed him to deliver. Scheiß!

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 26 days ago

      You didn't even get punished though as there's no penalty for missing one

      1. PartyTime
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 26 days ago

        Haa! What a crap game. Thanks!
