Yeah exactly, the team is paramount and ALWAYS takes precedence over the individual (something Ronaldo still doesn't know at the age of 39). I just find it funny.

Admit it - did you think it would turn out this good for Messi fans when that panenka struck the bar in the Argentina-Ecuador shootout? It's been some turnaround :) And for once, Messi missed a penalty and won a shootout, and Ronaldo scored and lost.

Yeah I understand, Carvajal is quite an intelligent player and knows when to play the right pass. He's also better positionally than Trent. I suppose Liverpool fans would say he has fewer weapons in his armory than Trent, so has no choice but to keep it simple. But I think there's more to it...

The problem with Temp is he's very temperamental (pardon the pun). He is sometimes civilised and ok, but he's always on the edge of exploding and insulting or abusing people. King Leo has had it from him recently (admittedly Leo can more than stand up for himself) and I got it out of the blue...

Yeah I said that after he quoted me, I thought I was maybe wrong about that. Thanks for clarifying mate. And yeah Pedri is injured.

True, it's because he's not flashy - he doesn't play in the PL or play 80 yard Hollywood balls like Trent. I actually think one of Trent's weaknesses is he relies on that weapon - his long passing - TOO MUCH. The other side of that is he's not that great at keeping things simple and playing the...

Trent is good to be fair, but yeah, nowhere near Alves or even Carvajal.

Great shout. Though he might lack the work rate and diligence Pedro had. He improved it later in his career, though.

He's a class player, he will be back. Yamal wins today's round though.

Was a carbon copy of Enner Valencia's last night.

I might be wrong about Morata - looked online and his name isn't on suspension list. Though it was a quick look on wikipedia, not UEFA.com. But the former has got everything right so far.

Think it's Le Normand, Morata and Carvajal.

They can certainly win it - it being in the Americas and not in Europe should theoretically help them too (the vast majority of winners have won in their own continent, in this case call it 'the Americas' as one). Messi as a bench player in 2026 is the best way to use him I feel, yes. Come on...

That might happen for sure, yes. Hopefully Spain do it though. Or if France win, they actually play some good football for a change.

Aye, I keep saying it - knowing when your time is up is a very undervalued quality. The guy has won a lot in football, why not just retire, at least from the NT? People commend his love for the game, I don't think he does love the game - I think it's the limelight he craves. And football is the...

The best thing about that game was watching Dembele's marauding runs. Surely he has played himself into the starting lineup for Spain? Then again it is Deschamps, so probably not.

Lol it's ok, I admit though I was a bit ashamed at myself for laughing at it :( But I understand this guy is an anomaly who deserves such harshness.

At least he can stay up late and support Canada or Venezuela against Argentina, and not have to be disciplined enough to be asleep for the Spain game.

Feel bad for laughing at that, cos rape is never funny. But that made me laugh.

' Well thats surely Ronaldo done at international level. What an amazing career, I still remember when he subbed on for his first game for Utd, everyone at the ground knew we had found someone special. What an era, Ronaldo and Messi. We have been so lucky to watch those two. A few more years of...
