Steam says I've got like $90 just by selling cards or booster packs (which are really just card packs).

I got a Dota 2 item by idling during the International that now is worth like $500 as well. I might sell it someday.

Plus Spacechem is a legit GOAT game. Don't be hatin now.

You buy keys to open the boxes and see what is inside. You can sell the box, or you can sell what is inside. Or you can keep it.

Abusing overpowered finesse shots >.>

Why would Madrid sell Di Maria lol

Di Maria wanted more money after his Champions Final performance, and PSG were sniffing around too. I would assume Bale is already on a massive contract considering what they paid for him.

But Scum is right, Flore would sell his mother if there was another galáctico to be had.

I hope they lose this, and get whooped a bunch of more matches afterwards, we need a sdhock effect at this moment to teach these lazy kids.

And gifting PSV the title? Nah. We need this win. Let's hope they can work things out in the winter break.

gifting

like we gifted you the last 4 titles

Well that's your business. I'd rather don't return favours.

And to be fair, important bits in our titles were about beating you guys. Especially that 2-3 in Eindhoven was good. And last season the 1-0 at home was pretty much the last punch PSV needed.
 
On SSN this morning they were saying there hasn't been a goalless draw here in this fixture since 1920 something. And then he apologised for jinxing it and they all had a good laugh.
