Yeah, except that one time he got outrun by Kaka and Kaka had the ball at his feet too. Kaka was lighting fast, though.

Yeah you might be right mate. There's generally at least one 0-0 or 1-0 in there somewhere.

Yeah Pogba did pretty well in 2018. It was a real team effort by them though - Pogba, Matuidi, Varane, Griezmann, Kante and Mbappe in particular all put in a good effort.

He's got a lot of talent but he just cannot stay fit and he hasn't been able to make a good impact in most of his time at Barca. It's a real shame.

Gonna go Argentina 2-0 Ecuador Venezuela 1-1 Canada Uruguay 2-1 Brazil Colombia 2-0 Panama Tempted to back Venezuela to win. Uruguay-Brazil is obviously a hard one to call. Other games SHOULD be a victory for Argentina and Colombia but you never know, especially without the insurance policy of...

Knockout bracket for anyone who needs it.

That's what I keep saying. Balance > names. Gordon is obviously a much worse player than Bellingham or Foden, but he offers the balance on the left they desperately need.

Cheers. Maybe I will watch some games at some point, just always seems to be at awful times in the UK. To be honest last season all I watched was PL and European competitions, club football wise. I don't know if it is getting older and being old enough to be many young players' dad, but...

Good point. Wharton looks good and he sits deeper, plays more line-breaking passes than Rice, seems more of a playmaker. But for experience, Rice has to start imo too.

That's been a thing in recent Copa tournaments I believe. Straight to pens.

Weird one - I still think Ederson has plenty to offer. The lad obviously wants the move.

As I said in that thread they normally optimise World Cups for Europe, as we are seen as the 'default' main market. However, there will likely be some weird times with four games a day.

Cheers, and yeah as I say my bias might be informing that pick lol. I hope the Swiss do it though.

Mad sleeping times for sure. Imagine what the World Cup will be like.

I am gonna try to watch it too my man. Staying up til 4 am is a big ask though given it's only 4pm now and I have been awake since this morning. Plus I should be playing football at 1.30 pm tomorrow (maybe not, knee is a bit sore) so will need some sleep in between.

Ten Hag is clueless to be fair. As for De Ligt - I used to rate him but he's clearly never gonna fulfil whatever potential he once had. He's 25 now and has to get his skates on if he's ever gonna be a top defender (doubtful).

I don't really care about Messi in Miami - haven't watched a single game of his there. However, I know he was a key figure in them winning the Leagues Cup. And, before he joined, weren't they right near the bottom of the league (s) (I know they do or did Eastern and Western conferences in the...

They aren't easy of course, but they're still the easiEST way to score given that, even if you had no involvement in winning it, you can score a penalty if you are your team's designated taker. Penalties can also come from nothing ie where there was no threat to the goal. And with VAR...

Good point. I would have them over Simons or some others. However, they're trying to fit all the best performers in in weird positions, like Simons as a DM.

I don't think that's something to respect. I think it reflects very badly on him that he hasn't retired yet when he's clearly finished. And that he's still destroying Portugal's chances of winning things through his own selfish need to steal the limelight. I would have more respect if he...
