  1. Aye, it’s only the Jamaicans who have taken in seriously. Mexico are missing Lozano, Corona, Jimenez, that Ajax lad. The America side that we faced in the World Cup with Pulisic and co are no where to be seen. Even Costa Rica don’t have Navas in goal. Really, really disappointing.
  2. I don’t understand. Isn’t the Gold Cup the equivalent of a European cup trophy? It used to be the passage way to the Confederations Cup that Mexico or the US used to be in every four years. What’s a Nations League? Who even won that? Spain/Holland had Rodri, Laporte, Ake playing in the Nations League final four days after their Champions League final. Find it crazy Alphonso Davies, Jonathan Davis, Lozano, Corona, and the exciting American team coming up don’t want to win a major honor like the Gold Cup.
  3. Gold Cup has been absolutely shit standard. America and Mexico come with B teams, what are they saving them for? MLS has been far better tonight. The u21 was the best football on today.
  4. David was being sarcastic. Go back a couple pages.
  5. Doesn’t look like a pen to me.
  6. You can't tell me that 08-12 Spain team weren't snide cunts when they had to be. Sergio Busquets being the prime example.
  7. Luis Aragones - Thierry Henry. I rest my case.
  8. Not a fan of miss comps tbh.

    Probably takes corners/free kicks. @foxghost that true?
  10. tbh I haven’t seen anyone in the last three years stand out for Chelsea aside from Kante, Reece James, and maybe Mount(the former two with poor fitness issues). Pre Boaly, it seemed like they had a patched together squad who got results through dogged team performances. Pulisic’s first season was good. He looked dangerous. I remember in the 2020 FA Cup Final Chelsea turning into a completely different team the moment he got injured as if they had all their hopes pinned on him.
  11. Pulisic is quality. There’s no denying that. His numbers at Chelsea are respectable and he looks incredible anytime he puts on that America kit. He just needs to work on his fitness. When he does play, he’s a livewire.
  12. Specifically remember people on here singling out McKennie as a quality player. Now he’s shit after a bad spell at a lets face it, Championship team. You really can’t trust Italian team’s motives for offloading their players. All their teams are broke so they’ll sell high and buy low like Tonali from Brecia. The constant trades between Inter and AC over the years. The big teams get the players in young, loan or sell them lower down the table and then buy them back for tuppence once they have a breakthrough season. Been doing it for years.
  13. Aye, him, Adams and Pulisic were all over England in the World Cup and were the better team on the night.
  14. Where’s this coming from? McKennie is a pretty good player. Was good at Juve. Leeds as a whole were shit last season. Hard to judge him on that. Always stands out for USA.
  15. don’t want him not even as backup. We’ve got a good thing going here. Could see it going like Lichensteiner when he went to Arsenal.

    Hope I didn't read this one here... Name the English player who has started in a Champions League Final but was never capped by the England Senior national team.
  18. He is. I don't watch Seria A so I want to see the best of the best in the Premier League.
  19. He’s bound to make a few blunders.
  20. I really want to see Man U get Onana. Just watched a compilation of him and he looks absolutely mental. There were clips of him bypassing his center backs and essentially playing as a defensive midfielder. Effectively, too. Will be very interesting to watch.
