The College Dropout

So poor from Cote D'ivore. So, so poor.

This referee's fussy as owt.

Jordan Ayew moment that.

CDI have terrible closing down.

CDI have only ever turned up after going behind in this tournament. Bad preparation from the manager you have to say

Definitely been garbage. What you mean is that he hasn't been as good as he can be, or you thought he would be. He hasn't been garbage ffs. Eder was garbage, scale your adjectives correctly. he's been sub-par. He hasn't been good at all. FUCKING BONY BOY!!! Love it.

Definitely been garbage.

Like someone said, he had been playing well too. Typical.

Tiote man ffs

He only played in the CL final. He was third choice this season so difficult to say he's better than Pepe or especially Ramos. For such a decorated defender Ramos defensive capabilities are under rated. Performed at the highest level for a long time now.

Variance looks a great prospect. A prospect none the less.

Of course they have. It was a far more physical game then. 10 years ago? Even 5. John Terry's probably higher up the best CB lists in the PL now than in his prime.

Have the rule changes made it harder to become a top defender? Just 10 years ago, I could think of a dozen top class CB's. Today, i'm not so sure.

Honestly, wouldn't a British manager do?

Surprised they've played him at all this game, never mind all 90 minutes. He's such an important player and he's got legs that are gagging to fall apart. Dangerous game by King Louis. He wants to play everything. Playing in Germany has made him a bionic man. Forgot he was very injury prone at Chelsea.

Would honestly rather Gary Lineker. Shearer doesn't show much tactical acumen as a pundit.

No.

Keegan brought in Gerrard. As a starter? I'm sure Gerrard spent a lot of his younger days injured. But Sven put Gerrard at the heart of the team.

He is f***ing terrible imo. Or at a much higher level than he should be, at least. Was a point a few years ago, he looked like he might become a top player. Gone to shit. 2010-12 he looked a proper fret. Been shit ever since.

SHould just play Cronaldo upfront, take off the oaf and have a proper LM to protect the fullback.

Nice jumper for someone working as a Digital Guru for a Shoreditch creative agency.

USA very reliant on speed and strength. Think they'll tire badly again.

Would love Jorge Jesus to take over Portugal and make them an exciting side.

Agreed. Largely because it's a brand new team. Always thought it was a bad idea to suddenly go for youth at the WC finals.
