    Copa América 2024

    They seemed to have a good generation around the same time as the Belgian golden generation came along. These two countries players' were technically in their peaks from about 2014-2019 or so.

    Copa América 2024

    Venezuela have been massively improving in recent years. They are no longer whipping boys - let's hope they can keep it going. They and Bolivia are further down the table but they're not that far off the higher spots. Bolivia of course benefit from playing at altitude at home.

    15 - Andreas Christensen

    They likely would rather do that also because they wouldn't wanna strengthen a direct domestic rival.

    Nations League 24/25

    Hopefully he is ok and gets checked if this isn't the first time it has happened. Hungary had that scary incident with contact on the striker Varga in the summer against Scotland too. Thankfully he ended up being fine but it looked grim at the time.

    Boxing

    Iron Mike posted this on Twitter/X/whatever the fuck it is called this month: 'This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time. I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in...

    How do you go bankrupt with 400m in the bank lol. The fact that amazes me proves I have never been rich I guess.

    23 - Jules Kounde

    They're probably micro-managed so much as players that they start to feel like robots and miss when they were kids playing for fun.

    Mohamed Salah

    He's playing very well. I have always liked him a lot as a player - well, since he exploded at Liverpool anyway. His dribbling has declined a little as Tempt says, but his finishing and passing in the final third are as good as ever.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Yeah it took me about 15 seconds to catch it even after I read it. It was below the belt by him.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Fair enough and true. I apologise if my comment was insensitive or demeaning about Poland - I did not intend it to be and zero malice was intended.

    I love nice clothes but they won't look great on me until I drop weight. Of course some clothes can disguise weight gain, and black especially is good for making people (or me at least) look slimmer.

    Don't wanna talk about the fashion stuff with players, but must say I love that grey coat at 16 seconds and the leather jacket at the end. I wear leather jackets myself.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    They were pretty good in the 70s and 80s (Poland). But yeah. Lol just realised the second line is about WWII.

    Overhead and bicycle kicks

    Fair enough.

    Overhead and bicycle kicks

    Remember Mexes's now from back in the day. What is impressive about his is not only the angle and being on the edge of the box, but he twists his body after chesting it, before striking it.

    Overhead and bicycle kicks

    They're not dumbarse. I personally prefer dribbling goals but these take a lot of ability too.

    Overhead and bicycle kicks

    Inspired by the discussion in the Ronaldo thread. Post some of the best you have ever seen, and discuss which are the best, taking into account technical quality, position, distance, angle, shinned or not, how much work the player had to do to 'fetch' the ball, degree of difficulty, and...

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    Forgot him too. There's been loads who have scored them, was just rattling some of the top of my head. Probably the best ability wise was scored in a fifth division game somewhere and was never televised. Here is one of the Van Basten ones. Look at the deviation of the ball after he connects...

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    Probably the best I have seen though is either Garnacho or Trevor Sinclair. Incredible overhead kicks. Bale, Rivaldo, Rooney and Ronaldo's too, among others. Edit - holy fuck, forgot Zlatan. That takes it. Miles out and the ball doesn't even bounce til it crosses the line.
