    England

    Not wanting to romanticise it at all, that's a straw man. It is nations competing against each other. It's simply an opinion that it's harder to define your nationality nowadays, vast majority of people know what nationality they are. Maybe you're referring to 1st/2nd/3rd gen immigrants? Not...

    England

    It’s literally not a moot point, repeating it doesn’t make it so, unless you’re understanding of what that means is incorrect. No idea why you’re mentioning styles of play, ironic. Pretty much all national team players either grew up in the country they represent, were born there or have...

    England

    Not a moot point at all is it. Yes some players change allegiances or decide because they’ve spent x years living and working in a country they are going to take on that nationality, but it’s based on what is allowed outside of football. Countries can’t sign other players and players can only...

    England

    I just think competitions based on nationalities should mean anyone involved with the team should be of that nation. It's also not a good thing that wealthier FAs can just buy better managers. In a world where football is won by those with the most money 99% of the time, international football...

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    Haven't watched him in a while and he didn't disappoint. Petulant baby at the end of the game vs Scotland. Not shaking hands etc. Wanted more time for a corner when it was 20 seconds after alloted extra time. Why do Portugal put up with him? Missed sitters too

    Xavi Hernández

    Don't think so, already a lot going on for him and his staff, last thought would be returning a few ipads/phones worth an hours pay.

    Company asks former staff to return company property because they are no longer staff.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Also got 5 data scientists telling the keeper which blade of grass to stand on to optimise chances of saving a freekick.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    Enjoying this era of not having to care about match result and waking up to see Messi scoring the occasional banger.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    3 games in 6 days with an already big list of injuries. 3 points is a gift.

    Referees in LaLiga

    Vitor Roque's double yellow/red last season is not even 10% of what Endrick just did. Not the only thing from last night, Vinicius already on a yellow, when he's subbed off he gives the 4th official a load of abuse, that's an easy second yellow. WHY are la liga not going after Real Madrid...

    Vinícius Júnior

    Guess the other reason I don't get why Vinicius is seen as favourite is Bellingham was pretty impactful outside of g+a. Not only did he contribute in a similar way to Vinicius in attacking output, he was one of the best in the squad defensively too. Think that is being forgotten. Granted he's in...

    Vinícius Júnior

    If NT comps don't count then fair enough he's slight favourite because of the above. Although Bellingham had the assist in the final for his goal.

    Vinícius Júnior

    Not sure why Vinicius is winning it. 1 more goal than Bellingham all season, won the same trophies. Difference is Bellingham reached euros final and Vinicius could be replaced by any brazilian player, from semi pro level to elite and have the same impact he has for Brazil. Then there's Rodri who...

    Real Madrid

    Real Madrid fans act like politicians, instead of bothering to defend accusations they just point at others. Even better when they then try to claim some superiority despite doing this. Don't care about the penalty that much, although it did look like contact stopped outside the box, but...

    Premier League 24/25

    One of them where you’d give it as a first yellow, but probably give benefit of the doubt if it’s the second. Which of course shouldn’t be how it is but refs do that

    Premier League 24/25

    Half the city team should be booked for surrounding the ref there

    Jude Bellingham

    Clearly said to the ref "you are a piece of shit", no yellow card. Maybe another red incoming for Lewa touching his nose instead!

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

    As others have said he inspires absolutely no confidence. If you're a defender for a team who wants to compete for every trophy, you can't have doubt creeping in. Especially if that person is supposed to be your captain. This season needs to be his last chance.

    1 - Marc-Andre ter Stegen

    He'll be dropped by Germany before we get rid of him. Maybe then it'll sink in for the club how shit he is.
