I don't get the pattern...? You just listed a team from each country and the country itself. -
World Cup 2018
Fuck. Colombia would've been a great finalist. Someone needs to stop Brazil, that rat Neymar doesn't deserve glory and hype just for a few tap ins and endless dives. -
Yerry Mina
He really looks like a generational talent in the air. Magnetic to the ball in the box and it takes something rare to win an aerial duel against him. Would be huge for us to have such a safety on defensive set pieces/crosses and such a consistent threat on offensive set pieces. The problem is...- DonAndres

Clément Lenglet
Who ever said Lenglet was done developing? Commenting on the potential of one player doesn't detract from the other. De Ligt may have higher potential as he's a more renowned prospect and shows some flashes of truly special ability but Lenglet could become a good player in his own right and the...- DonAndres

Abel Ruiz
In the (likely) case that we don't sign any strikers this summer, I think Ruiz is absolutely worth bringing up for most of the preseason. And, if he shows maturity there, some CDR callups and regular training for the first team should be in order like Aleña had. Same goes for Mateu Morey. Both...- DonAndres

Clément Lenglet
IIRC De Ligt was very great in the Europa League final against United 2 seasons ago when he was like 17 or 18. Not that I have any problem with Lenglet but there is very good reason to want De Ligt too. His potential is very high.- DonAndres

Frenkie de Jong
I'm unsure whether his arrival would be this summer or next, but there has been a steady stream of news. Just yesterday on MD it said Ajax are preparing themselves in case he forces his way out this summer, and that they are interested in Daley Blind. There's reports every couple of days or once... -
Sergio Busquets
Reading this thread gives me a headache.... Seeing Barca fans themselves not having a clue what made this team great and where our true quality lies.- DonAndres

Willian
Old, inconsistent, and I strongly believe if we sign him that Dembele will see Denis level minutes next season. Arthur as well will perpetually rot on the bench because this move validates EV's 4-4-2. Rakitic and Willian will be the starters for like 2 years under Valverde at least I reckon. So...- DonAndres

Kylian Muppet
Mbappe is primed for an all time great career barring injuries. France golden gen (and they are literally just waiting for the opportunity to get Zidane instead of Deschamps) and he'll either have a star team around him at PSG when he's in his prime or somewhere better. His scoring rate in the...- DonAndres

10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Messi gets older and the supporting cast gets worse? It absolutely can get worse. We all thought that Tata was as bad as it gets, then Bauza took that to a whole new level. Sampaoli was supposed to be the solution, and yet he somehow managed to be worse than all of them with his lineups and... -

You really are one of the last people in this entire forum who should be facepalming at anyone One would think someone with your posting history would at least feel obligated to explain their opinion -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
Argentina are only gonna go downhill. They have no fringe players or young prospects that could come in and be great additions to the team. Back after 2014 they had Dybala, Vietto, Kranevitter, Rulli, Correa, etc. as potential breakout players. Only 2 of them even became good players and none... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
A cross mere inches away from connecting to the target is just as much a matter of "unpredictable circumstance" as a shot inches away from going in. And Portugal definitely had more than one chance. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
What ifs in cases like this normalize things to the mean. Cavani's goal was brilliant, and obviously a very low probability event. And last ditch defending at the level required today is rarely ever that clean and successful. The fact that in one case a late goal was conceded by the defensive... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
So if they did see out the result and Ramos didn't have that chance at the last moment, they would've been "undoubtedly the better side" and "playing the game exactly as they wanted it to go" eh? Confirmation bias, nothing else. Defending a lead well doesn't consist of allowing that many close... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
This game was extremely similar to the 2014 CL Final, where Atletico were getting absolutely ran down and desperately defending till the end. Only difference is the header from Ramos. The case is the same, both teams were defending last ditch trying to wait out the clock and looked like they... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
They were still getting pinned back when they conceded, it was just that one counterattack perfectly executed by Cavani that regained them the lead. Plenty of the shots were dangerous as well as many crosses/deliveries being inches away. -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
The entire 2nd half went Portugal's way. Even before Cavani scored when it was 1-1. It was literally just a stroke of brilliance against the run of play from Cavani that saved them. They were hanging on a string before that and after, Portugal constantly getting dangerous looks in front of the... -
10 - Lionel Messi - v5
They totally dominated Uruguay today and were unlucky not to win, and Uruguay are definitely one of the better performing teams in this tournament.
