  1. he also played 39 times so he couldn’t have been that bad.
  2. Think it's a good signing. A midfield three of Mount, Fernandes and Casemiro looks good on paper.

    Aye, I live in Queens and the stadium is all the way up in the Bronx. Probably two hours to get there by public transportation if you live in Queens or Brooklyn. The Bronx has a large Dominican and Puerto Rican population and their main sport is baseball so that probably doesn’t help either. I did go one time and the quality was quite poor. Attendance was scattered and I can’t think of a notable thing about the game other than poor touches. I think the best crowd for sport in NYC is hockey. Ranger fans take over the the public transport and it all looks pretty exciting. I think that’d be the plan of action if I was visiting NYC imo. Easy to get to, too. If you’re not going to live cricket or rugby games in England, there’s no point of going to see a baseball or NFL game here. They’re just less exciting versions.
  4. 19:40 Honestly the funniest Youtuber in the football space. “Ted Lasso” Boehly, brown envelopes, "jellyfish" Potter so many quotables.
  5. Aye. Took Antonio long enough. Remember him holding out for England where he’d get what like three appearances maximum? Distinctly remember Wes Morgan at the 2015 Gold Cup and thinking “that’ll do good for his footballing development”. If more defected early enough like they do for Ireland and African nations, they’ll have a fairly comfortable ride to a World Cup plus Gold cup experience.
  6. Aye. America equalize. Bailey man, gotta be stepping up in the pressure moments.
  7. Jamaica beating America in the Gold Cup. Demarai Gray, Antonio, Leon Bailey, Bobby Reid, Mariappa names in the Jamaica side. America B side, though. Disappointed by that.
  8. I specifically remember Man Utd being heavily linked with Caicedo before he joined Brighton. Think they could have had him for £4 million. Now they’ll have pay 20 times that. They just love wasting money. Pogba, Sancho, list goes on.
  9. Hope it works out but a young Italian kid who probably idolized Pirlo and Gattuso getting a big move to AC Milan, winning the league, getting to the CL semi final and then being told he has to leave for financial reasons must be heart breaking. thankfully we have characters in the dressing room like Trips and Wilson that will help along. Plus it SHOULD be impossible to fail with Bruno G in the midfield. Just don’t know about young Italians in the PL. the good ones come later in their career like Zola and Vialli. Don’t want an Aquilanni situation. Although that one was off from the start as he was pretty injury prone even before going to Liverpool iirc.

    He had like a split second to react to that.
  11. Germany losing to Colombia 1-0 Last three results before this one Lost to Belgium 2-3 Drawed against Ukraine 3-3, believe they were 3-1 down at one point. Lost to Poland 1-0 a few days ago.

    Joelinton

    That's not his fault. Headed clearance and the Senegal lad finished it brilliantly. That's a 1/1000 finish.
  13. And in more Chelsea news, looks like they’re signing Villarreal forward Nicolas Jackson. Fee looks to be £35 million.

    England

    That England team was so bad. Zero chemistry whatsoever. Compare it to that Spain team. My word.
  15. No, no, no. While he was here, he was shit. Absolutely zero confidence going into games with him up top. Glad for him now but at Newcastle, he was a dud.

    i’m such a nobody will accept this seed ?

    Never been so proud in my ever life. This what parents must feel when their children are born.
  18. you think? For me, the only place that guy can play is as a #9.
  19. I agree he's not a great defender but I think his as an overall package, his positives outweigh the negative. Two Liverpool players scare me when they have the ball. Trent and Salah. Reece James should be the best right back but his injuries have set him back.
  20. Bundesliga is no standard to go on. Sancho did well there. Havertz, Werner. It’s too hit and miss. Haaland did well but he had a 10 goal season in the Champions League. No doubts about NKunku either as he’s proven at Champions League level. Dzeko - CL qualifications Lewandawski - four goals against Real in the CL + more. Gundogan - CL qualifications.
  21. Unpopular opinion but I think it's Trent.
  22. Bellingham’s dad is a police officer and played either Sunday or non league so he’s had it in built from him for years. Almost captained BD to a Bundesliga at 19 would be some achievement. Dunno why he wasn’t playing toward the end of the season. Probably would have made the difference if he was on the pitch.
  23. Joselu's 'miss face' will forever be etched in my brain.
  24. I like the Nations League. It's a bit of a throwaway after the World Cup just ended but the first edition was fun. Beating Spain 3-2 was one of the best results in England's recent history.
