We're all singing the blues.

Think it was. In UK myself. Thanks very much man, that worked. Beautiful turn and finish - the vast majority of players would not think to turn like that. Looks special.

Heard someone call his football 'Flicki Flaka'. @delancey @Birdy

Yeah I think you're right. Tbh I think I love films more than football now (and never thought I would say that) and watch approx 200 a year and watch art house too, read about the themes of film. Is that replacing one obsession with another? Who knows. But what I do know is that right now I am...

Exactly, I have been thinking that for years - it's very fucking weird to care about the careers and success of people who don't even know you or care about you. I say that too. I guess what keeps me semi-interested is loving football from a beauty of the game perspective - the wonderful play...

I couldn't find a Rui Costa thread, but this thread is clearly relevant. But fucking hell he looks awful for 53. Smokes too much obviously. Meant to be a clown of a president at Benfica, too.

You should come back, you were a good poster. But yeah, totally understand losing the love of the game. I am a lot the same. I wanna try other things in life.

The first assist is majestically placed into the goalscorer's path. Second played through eye of a needle. The goal is very nice and something we have seen him do many times before. Nobody in history had this guy's talent, range of abilities or completeness as a forward (apart from maybe the...

Yea. From what i have saw of Garcia.

Simon still number one, aye? He's better than him. Raya is good, though.

I'm not. Just having some harmless fun. I know he looks really good for his age.

Good to hear his distribution is great. He looks solid on crosses and shot stopping too. Most importantly he's transmitted calmness and confidence to the defence in the games I have watched. Very early days still, but he looks promising.

Yeah, though he looks like he paints on his beard and uses concealer and paint for his hair too.

Just seen this. Belter. Spat out my milk.

Injuries carry a big degree of luck too. Obviously medical teams make a big difference but sometimes - and especially with the intensity and tight spaces Barca often play at, getting kicked a lot - injuries are inevitable. Also, you have quite a few players who are injury prone imo. For...

Beautiful pass into the box, backheel and finish. A Barca type of goal. Lovely.

I didn't watch so have no idea how he played, but I am gonna say he was shite since everyone else is. Needs to do much much better.

Surely you don't want Portugal to win anything til Ronaldo retires anyway, lol. It would be hilarious if they won the centenary World Cup, partly in their own nation, right after he retired. Yeah they'd need to outnumber and outwork them in midfield. Spain have superior technique (not that...

Imagine if it's a Spain-Argentina final; if the form and draw allows that. We have never had a Spain-Argentina big game at a World Cup since Pep changed football, much less a final, and I have been wanting to watch it. In fact, in history, Spain rarely plays Argentina at the tournament. It's a...

Fair enough. And yeah, it's a rare disagreement from me with soul above. I think Olmo has a higher ceiling than Merino - and bursts of form are what matter in 5 week long tournaments - and might build chemistry with Pedri at club, so I would start Pedri-Rodri Olmo depending on Olmo's...
