    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Alot of fans are happy with Belletti's work. Another good win. Reading impressive game inspite of absentees and injuries.

    You know who else didn't lose a single CL game that season. Liverpool .

    Liverpool

    Dunno. In 92-93 Marseille didn't win their first game, but then won their second game convincingly. This season Marseille didn't win their first game, but won their second game convincingly. Maybe it is their year?

    8 - Pedri

    Plot twist. We would have never had these injury problems had we went to the Club World Cup.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Firstly all my best wishes that what is going on in your personal life gets solved quickly and positively. About the player, his buyout clause is 20m, while we historically (Elx is Barca territory) and currently (loanees and Sarabia) have good relations with the club itself, and the agency as...

    England

    Weren't England pretty much better than Brazil in that game though, but come up against a couple of wonder goals. With the long range Dinho strike being a goal that only two goalkeepers in the history of football would concede. A shot David Seaman, and Matias Ter Stegen.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    @khaled_a_d @Messi983 Mentioned in SPORT today regarding the U20 World Cup, midfielder Rodrigo Mendoza from Elche. They say he plays like Pedri (he is 20 mind you) and that Elche performances dipped since he left for the U20 World Cup. Wasn't on my list of players that stood out, but with the...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Spanish. But I guess that qualifies as looking Welsh judging by half of their rugby team. I was in England the time that they knocked us out of the Euro 96. Bunch of dodgy decisions too. But what really pissed me off. Is that they won the game and the fuckin hooligans still burned the Spanish...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    The worry is that England are now in that phase that Argentina were in around 2020. And they got a damn good manager too. With Big Orange heading the US, the WC there and England backing the Zions through hell or high water, I wouldn't at all be surprised if they got all the help they need to...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Just to add. Nesta was a stud an knew infinity more about football than me. But I think he's contextualed this in his Italian football era where the team played defence first and basic af.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    To an extent. It's no coincidence that the national teams to excel are one of two versions 1) majority core positions in a single club so that they play a simplified version of club football with those players holding the core tactically and the rest slotting in. Best example is Xavi Spain...

    Deco

    Yeah. They know their roles in the current football hierarchy, and how to both stay in the EPL at a competitive level and sell their talents. Can see Bournemouth not having the staying power, but the two London based clubs (and Palace more so potentially because of heritage) do have a chance to...

    Deco

    Indeed. But the gambling money takes the allure off it a bit for me. Well, for 2/3 of them. But the scouting. Fair dues. I think the biggest thing they showed is that the data first approach can work. Wenger was a very basic model of this, but he was still going to traditional leagues and...

    Deco

    Looks like one of those that Palace, Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth will buy from the Belgian league in a year or two. Big lad, 20, scores for fun with the technique and touch of Woltemade on coke.
