Since they have their base, the staff working at the bases celebrates their return after a win as they see them everyday and become a part of the team. Was the same in Russia for a lot of teams like Brazil, France and few others that I saw at the very least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziyech has looked good.  Foden’s looked great. Bernardo Silva has been typically great, gundogan didn’t look as sharp as usual. Havertz blew hot and cold. Can’t think of the other top players, van Dijk’s been good from what I’ve seen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Hazard retires from international football. Looked massively unfit and heavy this tournament. Â Strange how his form literally dropped off the face of a cliff after his move. Has to be up there as one of the worst signings in value for money in recent football history.

The College Dropout Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Hazard was a great player - his lack of longevity and not contributing to a CL win will damage his long-term reputation. Â People will look at his numbers and think he wasn't all that. But he was genuinely the best PL player or top 3 for about 5 years. He was brilliant at WC18 (better than KDB) too. Â Explosive and powerful players have to be managed closely. Mbappe has that explosion and it's key to his game. While Haaland is explosive, I think his best running is over longer distances which might help long-term. Currently, maybe it's WC bias but I think Mbappe is better.
