    Ibrahim Diarra

    This is your typical tactic of taking things into personal discussion and brings history of posts (half of the time not even correctly) that is irrelevant. You messed up, get corrected, move on. I addressed the Flick question in his thread anyway. It isn't like you actually made a point...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    @jamrock I addressed the CB problem dozens of times, I don't see every notification and not sure about the part I didn't respond, but here we go. I never accused Flick of being a good defensive coach btw, he defends mainly by pressing and then relying on offside trap + defenders talents. I...

    Ibrahim Diarra

    I clarified all of that, but at certain point you stop arguing with someone who religiously believe in something. It isn't worth the time.

    Ibrahim Diarra

    Are you drunk? The tournament was literally played less than 2 years ago. It was in November to December 2023. How is it 3 years from December 2023 to October 2025?!! He was almost 17 back then, just like he is almost 19 now. You rounded his age now, but not back then, and then says you are...

    Ibrahim Diarra

    We signed him less than a year ago, and the reported deal was in 2023, 2 years ago. And he developed well in only half a season here. From a bench guy to UYCL final MVP. This doesn't make any sense. PS: any player coming from a country like Mali who succeeds in top level, should get a ton of...

    La Liga 25/26

    Spainish clubs have Spanish owners for the most part, and they want to protect that. It isn't Tebas, it isn't they are stupid, it is simple self perseverance strategy. They don't care about local fans, they don't care about the product. Theycare about themselves and so far it is working for...

    Apparently organizer is the one cancelling it, saying not enough time

    28 - Roony Bardghji

    It is always nice to see a player with flair and maturity. Long way to go, but promising stuff.

    Raul had it, Pichi Alonso scored one with us in the 80's (under different name)

    Sama Nomoko

    He is almost the same age as Lamine, 8 months difference or so. Lamine is just a different level of beast for an early bloomer. The "Lamine" effect can go both ways, as many who aren't ready will get greedy for the opportunity. It happened already with Guiu, likely happening with Guille...

    Arne Slot

    Liverpool management are fairly patient tbf. Season is long, but even if he failed this year, tgey will likely give him next one.

    Joan Laporta

    I mean, Zahavi will be a brooker to a deal like that. Which is a normal practice. And you think investors as in buying shares? I think it is more levers

    8 - Pedri

    We played 442 most of the time under EV first year, with double pivot. This was Busquets best season between treble and retirement, same for Raki really. Pedri plays as part of double pivot, which is niether a CM or CDM in the sense you are describing. Pedri and Frenkie gets to play from...

    Sama Nomoko

    Five goals contribution in 500 minutes. With Lamine and Roony he might struggle to get his breakthrough. I hope he will have more patience than Virgili

    8 - Pedri

    Moving on from single pivot is the best thing Flick has done. Zubi "can" do it, but he is far better in double pivot. Almost no CDM in the past decade is better as single pivot. Even Rodri and Busquets plays better when supported by another CDM (Busi best season since treble was 17/18 with Raki...

    8 - Pedri

    That would have been very underwhelming, and wouldn't have allowed a single one of those 3 to play to his full potential

    U20 World Cup 2025

    He is a great coach, but expectations are increasing now considering the team under his disposal. ACN will be on their home turf, and while their history in the tournament is shit (not a single SF appearance since 2004 when they lost the final, and iirc that is their only one in past 40+...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    Egyptian, both could be seen as brown (latin/desi/Arab colour) which obviously has a bit of range of colour. My understanding that his friend has darker skin, though.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    I think new generations outside the USA (or English speaking countries) might be the ones using it normally for banter. My nephew was saying it casually to his friends when they were 12 or 13, my wife who is Egyptian American almost slapped him when she heard him saying it. Obviously...

    Only watched the first half, gotta say Bayern is one of the most entertaining teams out there
