Just a few quick posts then back to my tidying, washing clothes, going out walks and films, lol.

Thanks for the info mate - I have always liked them too as far back as 1986, when I was 4. Great video too -love your passion and knowledge for the team.

A traditional winger in a 4-4-2 isn't a midfielder - he didn't have many defensive duties, he didn't play like Beckham for example, hugging the touchline, delivering crosses etc, and Ferguson used him as the main goalscorer even in his 4-4-2, as he often went higher while forwards came deeper...

Yeah football is by a mile my favourite sport. Then track and field in second place. Tennis and swimming after that. Just posting very very infrequently for a while so you won't see much of me on the forum for a while. Enjoy the chatting lads.

Don't worry, scoring too many goals will never be a problem for Scotland.

I have heard of him, will check him out. Going offline now to watch this game, tidy, then sleep. Look out for reviews of three or four films watched today from me tomorrow (though likely nothing you are interested in: Red One and two Paddington films). Goodnight m8.

We are actually winning, fucking hell.

I get what you mean - he is called the atomic flea. He moves with quick little legs. I get what you mean that he doesn't glide. I can definitely see the difference in his dribbling style to the players you mention. They all seem like they're moving like a tornado is behind them, with large...

Fair enough. Those are all very intelligent points. Only thing I would respectfully MAYBE disagree with is the idea that Messi isn't graceful or elegant. I can see why someone would hold that opinion as he's a lot muscle memory too, but he makes it look effortless to me. In a different way to...

Craig Gordon in goal for Scotland - he is still ok but was born in the same year as me ffs. Clark and Kelly are poor goalkeepers. Some people rate Angus Gunn - more like water pistol for me. Grant Hanley and John Souttar is a desperate CB pairing. Ralston at RB is very poor. Front 6 is better...

I am a tennis fan in the sense that I think it is an amazing sport. However the only sport I felt compelled to watch for a long time was football. That is changing though. I wanna watch more tennis in future (though I missed the best era, don't think Alcaraz, Sinner etc can replicate it). But I...

Fair enough, thanks. I think that's the first time I have seen him posting, he has a lot of knowledge about the side, hope he keeps posting in here in the lead up to the World Cup.

Federer is such a genius of tennis. Amazing to watch and has the effortlessness the greats tend to have.

Yeah likely right. Zidane is elegance personified. They're obviously both absolute geniuses as I said so any difference in talent is negligible and a matter of opinion.

There's a Portuguese one and an American one. Also, the Boys is one of the very few pieces of media where the source material is inferior to the TV or film adaptation.

Do you know that Aurelius guy? He seems to have the same very high level of knowledge and passion you do for Argentina NT. Maybe he himself is Argentinean?

Zidane overall for career and being a football genius, but Ronaldinho was arguably even more outrageously gifted, just didn't shine long enough. But at this level of extreme football ability i.e. both 9.9/10, talent becomes a less important thing and the determining factor becomes more about who...

It doesn't seem THAT bad really, albeit in poor taste. I think sometimes we have to allow for cultural differences - it is no excuse but growing up in Uruguay where I assume it's mostly Latinos will mean he's more likely to make those comments. I heard he was gonna get an even longer ban than...

Anyway I see you guys have been having fun without me - I still vastly prefer Messi as a footballer to Ronaldo, but Ronaldo has been a brilliant player too and I feel less compelled to hate on the guy these days. Let's hope they both show dignity post-retirement.

It's Homelander who's coming on.
