Fedyan Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Bruno Alves will be showered with questions about his time at Zenit, because them Piter media types are freaking obsessed with forrins saying nice things about their museums and culture and all that other boring non-football nonsense. No doubt, will say something about his dad feasting in one of many, many genuinely fantastic culinary outposts there And how some student girl from Capo Verde almost messed up his hairdo No doubt, those two tools (Maniche and Costinha) will have a few words about my club's failed romance with Jorge Mendes and like 100 of his players. Danny, on their hand, still has our famous D tattooed on his arm (much to the dismay of Zenit support) and will be able to tell a whole different story. Cristiano is either adored or hated in that childish pantomime way. Like he's probably gay, giggle giggle On a serious note - his Head And Shoulders ads are well solid. Not irritating like that banking thing Messi did Pub quiz fun fact - a certain Thiago Silva was among the players then-owner Fedorychev (a fertilizer mogul, hence my adoring Captain Composte nickname for him and his failed reign) brought to Dynamo Moscow among with a ton of Portuguese boys, and the poor bloke was diagnosed with tuberculosis during his medical, after them docs got a bit suspicious. Spent three months in isolation at the hospital and left. Doesn't like talking about it, quite a few raunchy rumors went viral about how in the hell he got it. But no hard feelings, came across as a nice lad and went on to become a fantastic player. The pitch staff at Krasnodar Stadium had a surprise for Spain - they had THAT giant bull cut on the grass, center pitch. You know, the big corrida bull they have on some touristy t-shirts and all. Cunningly enough, FC Krasnodar are nicknamed the bulls (or cows, if you support Kuban Krasnodar). Their journos were chuffed. Iniesta is followed by an army of local under10 Barca fans yelling his name repeatedly. Of course, the whole Lopetegui thing is a distraction. But Hierro could be a sensible choice, always came across as a smart football man. Iran will rely on quite a few people in Kazan and Rostov for support because of Serdar Azmoun. Quite popular in both of those cities despite some rather dodgy transfer dealings between respective clubs. Also, there is a large student population from Iran in Kazan, so should be a fun game against Spain. Will be in attendance. Can not wait, like. Morocco obviously rely on a ton of players born and raised in France, Belgium and Netherlands and other such daft European places Technically superb in some cases, but not enough depth. Love their oranges though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Spanish press already coming up with a cringeworthy nickname for our team. Since "Hierro" is "Iron" in Spanish, this team is now "Los Hombres de Hierro" (The Iron Men). I hate our press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Looking forward to seeing Belhanda! I got well into watching Montpellier in 11/12 when they had Giroud, Mbiwa, Belhanda, Cabella & Stambouli in their side and won the league. Haven't seen him much since then but he was absolutely brilliant to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
