  1. Wew, poor result for all those superstars that Messi apparently gets to play with Well they're all out injured or not called up. Di Maria, Aguero, Dybala, Icardi, none played. That being said they should be doing far better. Aye but the defence and midfield will probably be pretty similar to tonight's in the World Cup or would have been until this result anyway. People look at Higuain, Aguero and Icardi and think they should be winning things when realistically only one of them can play. Dybala plays in the same space as Messi so can't play in his best position. Di Maria generally does a decent job tbf
  2. It's recent form and results, Spain have been pretty bad at international tournaments since Xavi finished. I think Del Bosque was out of his depth once the first cycle of players ended and too slow to get the newer players in. France haven't been great at a tournament since 2006. Got to a final last time but were pretty ordinary throughout really

    Man! I was just thinking that better not be Enrico Chiesa's kid. Yikes! Think I posted this a few months ago but this is class

    We get Poland or Colombia if we get through the group assuming a non collapse by them. Again, assuming non huge error us and Belgium v those two are probably going to be among the more interesting games in the knockout round. Aye Colombia would be a canny game. Would actually probably slightly favour Colombia if it ended up like that. Belgium should be canny but probably won't be
  6. Not sure why France seem to rated higher than Spain for the World Cup

    Haven't England looked really good in friendlies in the build up to the last two tournaments too? Do quite like Southgate from the things he has said mind. Think you could get to a quarter and put in a decent performance but ultimately lose to a good team

    If world class means the top 50 players, aye
  9. Would have to be either of HBA's for me. Of those that I wasn't old enough to appreciate Albert's against Man Utd is probably my favourite
  10. If he had a full qualification group over a few years I'd agree but he doesn't. The best players doesn't always make the best team. Argentina were much better in the last two qualifiers with that Benedetto bloke up front
  11. Is it not just because they've been awful for Argentina?

    He was very good in his first season for us. The second season he was poor defensively but was one of our best players going forward

    Janmaat is a decent player and was generally good for us until the last few months

    England

    Janmaat didn't start in the knockouts and Gini didn't start the first two games. Wouldn't call either key players

    In a country where weed is legal I was in Amsterdam for three days around new years and didn't even see a policeman outside the airport. Whole place just seemed like you could do whatever you wanted. Impressive to get arrested there

    Sometimes being class, sometimes being shit > Always qualifying but never doing anything decent

    They didn't even qualify for the 2002 World Cup. They had two world class teams in their qualifying group tbf

  19. Poll is unfair as people who are on tapatalk can't see it. Tapatalk is by far the best option on phones
  20. Two best players in the league being Mourinho rejects is very satisfying
