>Schwarzer becomes the third Australian, after Robbie Slater (Blackburn) and Mark Bosnich (Manchester United) to claim an EPL crown.
>He is the first goalkeeper to be involved in back-to-back titles for two different clubs and just the second player to do so.
>At 43, he’s also the oldest EPL winner
Get in here lads and appreciate Australia's Brave Mark Schwazer
lets not forget that he won 2 in a row without playing a minute
you don't get a prem medal if you don't play enough games you silly shithouse
did we win the world cup again?
Reminder that we beat Leicester twice
You are not the best team in England. You are the best at beating the shitty teams.

Yeah, that's why they won the league over you autists kek.
Which one is more dramatic?
my willy in your mums hairy snatch
I've never been a >muh patriotism Murican type before, but the Euros really don't have a leg to stand on here. The EPL season long point system is vastly inferior to a playoffs system in terms of excitement, entertainment, drama, etc.
The World Cup is the biggest and most dramatic soccer event on Earth and it uses a playoff system. Why doesn't the rest of the soccer world follow that?

I love playoffs. Every year watching the NFL and NHL playoffs produces some of the most dramatic moments in sports.
BUT
I feel like a league system better rewards the best team throughout the season. And there's nothing like watching a legitimate title race with teams neck and neck. Plus teams in the relegation zone produce some of the best games for neutrals.

Okay, since there are tens of threads about the league system being boring, let's talk about why the most exciting league finishes are better than the most exciting cup finishes.
Even diehard Leicester fans would probably agree that the way they won the league was a bit anticlimactic. But leagues have the potential to be a lot more exciting than cup competitions, because in a knockout format you're never in a position where 1 goal is the difference between winning and not winning a title. In a knockout competition the most exciting thing you can hope for is...

Defense wins you titles
>>67309503
No my friend,it's like this: A good defense is the foundation for a good team,it always starts with a good defense.
Then why aren't Spurs champions? They have a much better defence than Leicester.
Winning games wins you titles.
Na, you win titles when you core one more goal than the opponent

Nobody cares about atl sports, especially the people in atlanta
I got broads in Atlanta
Tell Ferry to come to the Sixers. We could use a GM who isn't an incompetent retard.
Should Wimbledon use the EPL league format instead of the current tournament bracket?
After all, this would be the best way to determine the best player. Right?
>mfw, Federer wins Wimbledon with 2 games left after a match between Djokovic and Murray ends in a tie
Can you imagine a world where the Golden State Warriors are champions a month before the regular season ends with literally 10 or more games left and they end up tanking those games because 2nd place overall would never catch up to them?
Should we change the PL to a playoff system instead of the current format?
After all, this would satisfy autistic people on /sp/. Right?
>2 weeks of EPL left
>Champion determined by a draw from a game of 2 teams totally unrelated to the champions of EPL
>Champions can't hold their trophy until regular season finale
>Champions determined before season ends
>Champions can literally lose their last 2 games of the season and still be considered "champions"
crazy to have a sport where the regular season actually counts for something. so fucking stupid. my psychiatrist said its not good for my ADD. said its nice that i get bits of information in small packages and frames of times. she said to stick to sports with playoffs where i only have to watch for a few weeks!
