? Italy and Holland have better teams than them. On paper they're on par with Portugal and Holland. France. I'd add Uruguay purely on offensive power. Belgium lack a lot. They're not great at any position. People always underrate Italy in these discussions. As if them getting to the final last year never happened and they aren't the 2nd most successful international team. Thought he had mentioned Italy. For me Italy is the 5th best team in the world. If I arranged it by levels it would be: Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Germany Italy Belgium, Holland, Portugal, France, England, Uruguay Argentina and Uruguay down a level for me. I may be biased, but I'd put us on that second level too.. I would too, tbf (about Holland)

I remember always wanting to play them after 2006 since we were similar nations in talent and how we approach the game, but our national teams have gone in completely different directions after that. Except they're a lot more shit than we are good. Did play them in 2010 warmup game and Edson Buddle scored, so

Dat was good

There was an NFL game there recently

Service is their main issue, no one's going to score with with that midfield behind them.

Those are hilarious, doesn't even serve the purpose of what a screen that big should do. Only one app open at a time ffs

Lukaku ffs He's going to develop into something amazing.

This is such an absurd time for a Friday game, especially since it's in KC. And no one has any explanation to why, there's not even baseball playoffs to compete with. I wish I had planned accordingly, now I'll be stuck in class when it starts.

We don't really have any youth players or newcomers on the team, and Klinsmann has made it pretty clear he doesn't think any of the U20 players/uncapped young players won't be with the team before or during the World Cup.

He's covered his tracks there, but he didn't specify that in his initial comments so I'm not surprised by the reaction. They were pretty obtuse statements.

Poyet brought a League One team into the Championship and made them instantly competitive while playing decent stuff, it's not surprising he's thought of well. He never gave them the final push though, and Sunderland are shit, so I can't expect much. January will be big for them.

I know the academy story. Lavish spending doesn't seem to fit his character. Definitely not down to lavish spending His failed academy is well documented.

somebody bump it. Who did that one? I'm in tears man. This still makes me laugh Genuinely hilarious

Yea he's not much of a goal threat though. I think he runs the channels and holds the ball up quiet well. I think he's more athlete than footballer though

No idea why spurs bought him tbh. Another poacher when they already have Defoe. A lukaku / benteke would have been a better signing imo Well they did try to sign Benteke. He hasn't been overly impressive, but he at least provides some good holdup play and has worked really will with Eriksen, which they missed today.

Besides that initial cockup he looked back to normal

Well that's hilarious

Spurs ffs

Williamson is such a gump. No clue how he didn't manage to clear that off the line.

What other options do they have? Johannsson is probably better than Altidore, and more dynamic. But he'll go barring injury, there's only like 4 other strikers with similar upside.

Ah, well fuck you Dave

This happens to a few teenagers every year too, it's not like they can't make an impact, but it just doesn't last. Macheda scored a few nice goals too.

Must've heard his banter and decided suicide was the best option

Too many injuries and didn't want to take the points hit, so left Ben Arfa and MYM in there. Lukaku and Remy should do enough to make it respectable. 28 with 5 played

Hopefully. They at least seem to have some effort in their game, just still an incredibly shit team.
