    World Cup 2022

    Di Maria is not a burden, who said that? I said he is the only one creating except Messi. You fail to understand that players have roles in a team. De Paul does exceptionally in covering for Messi taking chances with risky balls for example. He is expected to run his lungs off because that is...

    World Cup 2022

    The potential of a team that when anxious can't string together two passes, with 2 fullbacks from the previous century, and the only alternative creative player is also 35 yo, Di Maria. Amazing analysis. As always proven wrong, but still insisting.

    World Cup 2022

    Birdy desperately trying to reduce Messi's role for Argentina to the one of CR for Portugal. For a man so obsessed with stats, you tend to stay away from them when it concerns Messi, simply because he is still so ahead of almost everyone in attacking stats, you would not be able to stir it your...

    World Cup 2022

    Well, FDJ to play DM instead of Busi or CM instead of Gavi? Either of those options has limitations too. None of our midfielders is creative enough. All the creation goes through Dembele / Raphinia, because no one else can do it, exactly like this Spanish NT, only they don't even have that...

    World Cup 2022

    The midfield trio is the most evident one. Pedri, Gavi and Busquets is not a top tier midfield.

    World Cup 2022

    We could criticize Xavi for the system he employs, but it's evident, even from the Span NT, that we have limitations with our squad. One of those limitations of course is Busquets, who everyone seem to think as irreplaceable.

    Amigo Barca with slow ass players was a goal away from cl final and probably win. Player class is also important apart from pace, etc. Current Spain apart from pace is missing class.

    World Cup 2022

    Spain and of course, Barca football, has become too boring. Passing in a slow tempo with no purpose. Waiting for the "right moment" to present itself, without actively pursuing it. I don't believe this style is the most awesome footballing style for anyone, anymore. Many teams have adopted the...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    This is the first couple of seasons (this last one especially) he has been injury free and actually showed improvement. We can't say that Xavi has nothing to do with it, because if he had gone to city and improved as he did, everyone would suck Pep's balls and attribute the player's evolution to...

    World Cup 2022

    I haven't seen all the posts, but why does Croatia national team needs defending? It's a great football team, went to the final last time around. Saying that Brazil are clearly favourites or that Argentina this time would win against them is not an insult or something, just an opinion. Also...

    Brazil should rest now and face Croatia who got to overtime if they are smart...they should not push to humiliate s. Korea anyway.

    World Cup 2022

    Yes this Croatia is worse than 2018 and Argentina can't be worse than 2018. But they won't meet this year anyway.

    World Cup 2022

    Predictions up to this point came pretty good. All favourites going through to the next stage. I wouldn't expect Brazil to fail in this universe, so all that remains is for Spain to bottle it against maroco and the rest of the strong teams to advance.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Temptation, aka discount BarcaOG, having a real life meltdown because a player he dislikes does better than he expected. You need medication. Better call a helpline,as people suggested, or you might end up having complications, if you ever manage to overcome puberty.

    Sergio Busquets

    When is this cat playing again? I expect a maroco win If he starts.

    World Cup 2022

    Top performances back in the Barto days but goes missing too frequently nowadays. But not for lack of trying. Always sets up the bait but defenders know him, and don't by onto his simpleton tricks. One trick pony.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    That's because they gave space on the final minutes. You never give Messi space, even if he plays on a wheelchair.

    Lautaro Martinez

    We wanted this dude in Barcelona for fuck shake.

    Messigician trying to stir shit up and failing like lautaro in front of goal. Sluggish performance by Messigician today, too complacent.
