  1. people should’ve put money on that. Next game January 1st...guess who wins again?
  2. Both ways are fine if we are going to spend £120m Well, he’ll get CL next year (or have they removed the rules of only being allowed to play for one club a season in the CL?)
  3. Think we should throw the money at him. Fits our team perfectly next to Bruno and whomever of the other three.
  4. Casemiro might be one of the most underrated player in the last decade. Think going to Man United might be a blessing for him as he was clearly lacking motivation at Real (only performed in the big games).
  5. This Faes guy looks, runs and plays like David Luiz. What in the actual fuck
  6. One of the greatest goals ever. As for the poster trying to criticize the the football. Football was obviously different back then, balls were different, players didn’t have the greatest technology on everything and theyre playing in the middle of the day at the Azteca at almost 3000m. The world today has clearly come far more along and so has football, but even today you see slow similar tempo when teams play at altitude (watch a Brazil v Bolivia game in Bolivia and the tempo is ridiculous). If some players did what they did back then, imagine what some would achieve in todays football. I’m not from that generation, but social media has really made this world far dumber and less appreciative of the past. To put it this way, it’s like saying that great inventors or scientists before us were shit because today we have improved and do far better than back then. *in 30-50 years from now new generations will sit there and laugh while we talk about the greatness of Lionel Messi. Respect the past. And merry christmas!
  7. Lets fucking go! Bruno and the worlds best central midfield destroyer to win it for us
  8. Like Messi did in the shootout? I don’t mind it. They’re not stopping, they’re just waiting out the gk as much as possible imo and Lloris almost got it, just like he did against Lewandowski in the last 16 match.
  9. What is actually wrong with the stuttering run ups? PS. I find the mindgames amazing and not disrespectful at all.

    FIFA World Cup

    Football is popular in any country.

    FIFA World Cup

    I disagree Pons in regards to fewer stadiums. Problem with fewer stadiums is that the grass doesn’t hold. The pitches in this World Cup were terrible towards the knockout stages in some stadiums and they even added artificial colours to trick the spectators. 8 stadiums for 64 games in the space of 30days just isn’t enough. The logistics for this World Cup was a nightmare as well, not to get into the country but within the country. I sincerely hope Fifa learns from this and never hosts it in one country this small again and furthermore, a country with zero footballing culture.

    Yes, well you never know with Conmebol, might decide to host two of them in the same summer.

    Look at the bright side, we’ve cut 6 months into the next one. 1.5 years until the Euro’s and then we go again!

    reported. *for thinking bellingham is anything special
  16. Same in Copa America. Big game player, shame he doesn’t play in big games at Aston Villa.

    Best/Favourite match: Final Best/Favourite goal: Richarlison v South Korea by far. Best/Favourite player: Messi Best/Favourite moment for your team: Casemiro against Switzerland live. Best/Favourite 'other' moment: Messi snd the Argentinian fans getting what they deserved. Worst/Least favourite moment/anything: This forum thinking Joelinton would’ve made a difference for Brazil. Honestly though, Qatar hosting the WC. Flat atmosphere for most parts in Doha, felt more like Disneyland than a World Cup. Tons of influencers filming themselves in the stands, people filming the players with their phones rather than watching the games, people trying to watch many games the same day so arriving 20minutes early and then leaving 20 minutes early robbing real fans of the watching a game. Empty stands for loads of games. During my 10 days there I missed the Brazil and Russia World Cup atmosphere.

    FIFA World Cup

    I was there. Fourth WC, 7th major tournament, this was by far the worst in terms of atmosphere. I dont drink at matches, but there was a lack of great atmosphere inside as well as outside in my honest opinion.
  19. That Martinez save...unbelievable stuff. One of the greatest saves ever. That’s when Argentina won the game imo. After that save it shifted momentum to them as if they were the lucky ones to get to penalties now.
  20. Was mine and my fathers favourite player these knockout stages. Did everything in his power to try and destroy Morocco at the World Cup. Was crying and at the same time laughing hysterically when he was sent off against Portugal.
  21. Cheddira man. The absolute legend. Was going to get a Morocco shirt with his name if they won it all Apparently scoring for fun in Bari, which is insane considering he looked nothing like a footballer.
  22. This puts an end to that debate. Messi joins Maradona as 2nd best ever now.
