    Argentina

    Just read about what they were apparently chanting, bunch of imbeciles if true. Wesley Fofana condemned it too, and the French Football Federation gonna file a complaint.

    And Joe Allen was the Welsh Xavi.

    Tennis

    Yeah I watched tennis in that era too, loved them players. To be fair, maybe it's because I was a kid in the 80s and 90s (no idea how old you were) so there's a touch of nostalgia. But I remember players like Sampras, Ivanisevic, Becker, Agassi, Graf, Seles too. It was a fun era and I kept more...

    To me that is a very sad way of looking at it. And Holland 74 are still thought of highly now, there will be plenty of footage too of great to watch teams of this era. So I doubt everyone has that very cold outlook that you appear to have.

    Phil Foden

    It won't be popular among Man City fans, but I think Palmer is a smarter player than him, and also has a little more ability.

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    on that subject, apparently they say everyone has 7 doppelgangers around the world.

    I've done that too mate. It's a big mistake isn't it? Makes people seem daft when they get it wrong. On this occassion, you will just have to accept the loss with grace. Happens to the best of us.

    England

    I wouldn't call their players average, they do have good players and some very good, but yeah. Southgate is clueless but if they were as good as claimed they still wouldn't get outplayed so emphatically. As I said a coach isn't that influential, he won't make amazing players into donkeys who...

    Romance and entertainment is a big part of football though mate. It's an art, not just a science. Barca win less, but they tend to be more dominant when they do win, and playing better football. Also no RM team in history is as good as Pep's Barca team (s). I am just saying it's not just about...

    England

    I wasn't here when that vote was put up but I said England would be lacking in cohesion before the tournament. Obviously England have good payer - it's foolish to say they don't. The problem is other nations do too yet the English media talked like England had by far the best players in the...

    Tennis

    Not a real tennis fan, but based on what I have been told and seen on the odd occasion, surely Federer gets bonus points for the aesthetic beauty and 'net play' of his game? Like Messi does over C Ronaldo rather than just counting up stats and Grand Slams. Is that part of why Federer is seen as...

    Kylian Muppet

    Yeah if Bellingham plays he has to play closer to goal. We have debated this in his thread but he's not a central midfielder.

    Kylian Muppet

    Yes, that is what I expect too. But surely Guler and Endrick won't be happy being backs ups? They're both talented and will want to play and won't wanna spend the next five years sitting predominantly on the bench. Also that front three looks a bit like Mbappe Neymar Messi again with being too...

    Kylian Muppet

    They will all demand to play, though. None of them are clear back up players and will be happy with that. Normally a team has two or three first choice attackers and a few players who are fringe or can contribute but aren't leading players. I guess you can argue Guler and Rodrygo would be...

    Copa América 2024

    Yeah but one half or one game shouldn't decide it. I believe Rodri has an impact on his team that no other does. I don't think Man City and Spain are as good without him, and he's less replaceable than others. Carvajal has been brilliant but a RB won't win it. And he isn't as important to his...

    Kylian Muppet

    Yeah they weren't really superstars when they signed like when he signed Zidane, Beckham, Figo, Ronaldo 9, Ronaldo 7, but they are superstars now or will become them. My point is you can't play so many attackers, or keep them happy.

    Kylian Muppet

    They seem to be hoovering up 'superstars' with no plan how to play them. They're veering back to the Galactico days. Of course you can rest players, but Bellend, Mbappe, Guler, Endrick, Vini and fuck knows who else. How do you keep them all happy? How do you fit them into a balanced team?

    Copa América 2024

    Bellingham winning would be repulsive and reinforce everything wrong with modern football. It would be a victory for PR and self-promotion (like many of CR's wins)> I'd rather see Vini win it over him.

    Copa América 2024

    Rodri's problem is he's a footballer for footballers. He isn't a PR merchant who is constantly on social media bragging or buying favourable stories. Hence, this can affect the narrative as many football fans are in it for the glamour more than the actual on-pitch stuff. And that narrative also...
