I've maintained that he's been absolute shit since day one. Fuck other people. But Per Ciljan Skjelbred and Bob Bradley are definitely still brilliant. Skjelbred's captain at a Bundesliga side and has played for them regularily for years, he's had a comfortable career. Bradley was shit in the PL but has done well elsewhere, my argument wasn't that he was amazing, it was that he had done enough in his prior gigs when taking the situation of the clubs into consideration to warrant a go at a big job (though the PL might've been too big a jump) - I've not disputed that he did shit once he got that chance, albeit he got sacked quickly and replaced by someone shitter. He's done well again with LAFC in their inaugeral season, outclassed the Galaxy with far less star power and money. That said, with the benefit of hindsight, that seems to be his forte. Building very successful teams with little resources in smaller leagues. He's had a go at clubs with a lot of money twice and failed at both chances, so not sure he's one to trust in money rich leagues after all.

Giovinco is only one who'd cut it in PL for me Almiron >>>>>>>>>>>>> Giovinco Giovinco is a prime example of a player fleeing to the MLS after falling through innEurope.

That is the opposite of a transfer rumour

Agreed, any match-goer stumbling on this thread wouldn't want to have anything to do with TMG. But just as long as a minority can consider themselves special. Sorry to hear Southwest Airlines made fun of you.

Guy in charge of hiring him was his old teammate and close friend as well, I read.

Wholly uninspiring choice and the least kept secret ever. You guys turned down fucking Julen Lopetegui when he asked to get an interview for the position FFS.

Switzerland will top our group. If we’re to finish second it’ll be Denmark to lose out. They’ve actually only beaten us once in the 4 times we’ve played them recently I willingly ignore Switzerland's chances because I hate them now.

Gonna hazard a guess at: England & Czech Republic Portugal & Serbia Germany & Netherlands Denmark & Ireland Croatia & Wales Spain & Sweden Poland & Austria France & Turkey Belgium & Scotland Italy & Finland

What? Nations League only allows for a second chance for NL winners if they fail at the EC qualifiers, man. I'm so confused by this line of thought This is the proper qualification, NL was only meant to replace meaningless friendlies. Well now they need a competition to replace the meaningless qualifiers England, Czech Rep, Bulgaria & Montenegro ffs. Can't wait! The qualifiers aren't meaningless, man. They're the fucking competition Problem is for the top ranked/pot A teams it's not a competition. I mean however will England cope with Bulgaria? Germany and Netherlands v Estonia, N. Ireland and Belarus. Of course I get that it has to happen but fuck me England has failed to qualify in the past. Same goes for other big teams. Just because nine out of ten times it's a walk-over doesn't mean England (or other major nations) should just be handed a spot at the finals

Group G is easily the shittest. Just seen it, damn thats some shite Just got even more boring

Booo, down with this sort of thing.

Stop the small talk, nobody gives a shit. Draw the teams.

Seems like you can't have more than two host nations in the same group But everyone is hosting it this time, that rules out half of fucking Europe, how fucking dumb is that rule. It's amazingly dumb, especially since hosts aren't already qualified

Guess we're essentially fucked then. Good thing we won our NL group.

Other Ireland gets fucked then.

Wait, they didn't get fucked. What? Why?

Ireland fucked.

Piss easy group for England.

Bobby Madley's been approved to ref in the Norwegian leagues next season

Your opinion is very wrong, though.
