Yeah true. I like his football posts but I just can't be bothered engaging with it when it becomes bigoted and about pushing a political agenda. That's why I just left it. Fair enough - I totally agree. It should only be a consideration when there's a clear problem with distinguishing between...

Zidane too, and others. I am referring more to wingers than attacking midfielders and forwards though. But I fully agree on your point too.

True, fair point. Just don't want him getting a little more cumbersome or struggling to adjust if he has an (other) massive growth spurt. I basically agree with you though. It's just unusual to see a 6 foot 4 winger (if he ends up that tall). Givenchy alluded to Gakpo and there have been some...

Maybe I am just a pessimist but part of me is worried England are gonna do it. Can imagine Spain dominating them and missing chance after chance, then England scoring the winner with a set piece. Spain are obviously the better TEAM, but finals tend to be close. I am still gonna predict 2-0 or...

That's what I mean though - BIG chances. They had plenty of the ball in and about the box, and some half-chances here and there that could have gone in. But other than Suarez hitting the post, they didn't create anything like the two missed Colombian chances which are one on ones in the box with...

Fair enough.

That's just football fans being pessimistic I think. I fancied Colombia to win. Uruguay are a decent team though. I am not sure if the red card made things easier or harder for Uruguay. On one hand, it meant they had far more of the ball. On the other, it also meant Colombia basically went into...

Yeah, the guy is a knob, but the second-most talented player of his generation (say players born 1985-2000) after Messi, imo.

Yeah you did. But to be fair it's no surprise to anyone that Darwin Nunez is an erratic and generally poor finisher, lol it's been the story of his time at Liverpool. Pellistri is a more astute call and you deserve credit for it. Though he never impressed me when I watched him at club level anyway.

No. Did he say that too? To be fair, 'indeed' is a frequently used term online.

It's not just about pace though - you can see the mind is still very sharp and working overtime, he's faster in his head than most people. And he's not slow when he starts running with the ball. It's more the longer recovery time from accumulation of injuries, and the time it takes to get back...

Yeah, I would rather see teams in their traditional kits when there is no clash for normal-sighted people personally. At the same time though, it's good to include others too, especially with something as easy as this (wearing different coloured kits). I still prefer the classic kits. I know...

Indeed.

He's an absolute cock while being a talented (albeit very overhyped) player. Hopefully the Spanish midfield dominate he, Foden, Rice and Mainoo (as I am thinking they will) and win this final.

I said this before, but as a winger, you don't want him getting much taller. He's about six foot now and just about to turn 17. You don't want him to grow too much more. His size seems to work for him; if he gets any bigger he might end up too tall for a winger. I am not saying he will end up...

Fair enough mate - I looked at the tool and it did seem some were more severe than others. As I read there's clearly different levels to it in terms of how it affects people. I guess it's hard for people with pretty bad types of colur blindness, but we still wanna preserve the tradition of the...

Yea I predicted 2-1 Colombia but was obviously a lower scoring game than that. Uruguay focus too much on the bruising people up part of football. To be fair to them, though, they did have chances especially in the firs half - if Nunez finishes then who knows. However, for the sake of the...

@Birdy after some research, are we being too harsh? I know you made some points earlier about different extremes of colour blindness, but it feels a bit like we are discriminating against them here. 1 in 12 men are colour blind because of recessive gene combinations (only 1 in 200 women...

Fucking mad bastards, all of them lol.

Other than terminology like 'all the Africans' I agree with you. They are more of an athletic team. Griezmann is clearly the brains and cerebral player while much of the rest of them are powerful athletes (though I find Kounde and Maignan intelligent players). I guess it does feed into...
