    Copa América 2024

    That's what I mean though - BIG chances. They had plenty of the ball in and about the box, and some half-chances here and there that could have gone in. But other than Suarez hitting the post, they didn't create anything like the two missed Colombian chances which are one on ones in the box with...

    Copa América 2024

    That's just football fans being pessimistic I think. I fancied Colombia to win. Uruguay are a decent team though. I am not sure if the red card made things easier or harder for Uruguay. On one hand, it meant they had far more of the ball. On the other, it also meant Colombia basically went into...

    Neymar Jr.

    Yeah, the guy is a knob, but the second-most talented player of his generation (say players born 1985-2000) after Messi, imo.

    Copa América 2024

    Yeah you did. But to be fair it's no surprise to anyone that Darwin Nunez is an erratic and generally poor finisher, lol it's been the story of his time at Liverpool. Pellistri is a more astute call and you deserve credit for it. Though he never impressed me when I watched him at club level anyway.

    No. Did he say that too? To be fair, 'indeed' is a frequently used term online.

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi V2

    It's not just about pace though - you can see the mind is still very sharp and working overtime, he's faster in his head than most people. And he's not slow when he starts running with the ball. It's more the longer recovery time from accumulation of injuries, and the time it takes to get back...

    Yeah, I would rather see teams in their traditional kits when there is no clash for normal-sighted people personally. At the same time though, it's good to include others too, especially with something as easy as this (wearing different coloured kits). I still prefer the classic kits. I know...

    Jude Bellingham

    He's an absolute cock while being a talented (albeit very overhyped) player. Hopefully the Spanish midfield dominate he, Foden, Rice and Mainoo (as I am thinking they will) and win this final.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    I said this before, but as a winger, you don't want him getting much taller. He's about six foot now and just about to turn 17. You don't want him to grow too much more. His size seems to work for him; if he gets any bigger he might end up too tall for a winger. I am not saying he will end up...

    Fair enough mate - I looked at the tool and it did seem some were more severe than others. As I read there's clearly different levels to it in terms of how it affects people. I guess it's hard for people with pretty bad types of colur blindness, but we still wanna preserve the tradition of the...

    Copa América 2024

    Yea I predicted 2-1 Colombia but was obviously a lower scoring game than that. Uruguay focus too much on the bruising people up part of football. To be fair to them, though, they did have chances especially in the firs half - if Nunez finishes then who knows. However, for the sake of the...

    @Birdy after some research, are we being too harsh? I know you made some points earlier about different extremes of colour blindness, but it feels a bit like we are discriminating against them here. 1 in 12 men are colour blind because of recessive gene combinations (only 1 in 200 women...

    Other than terminology like 'all the Africans' I agree with you. They are more of an athletic team. Griezmann is clearly the brains and cerebral player while much of the rest of them are powerful athletes (though I find Kounde and Maignan intelligent players). I guess it does feed into...

    Copa América 2024

    I know it's been said many times before - but South Americans are absolutely mad :lol: There should have been about half an hour stoppage time. That was chaos. Suarez with a massive miss. Two glorious chances missed by Uribe too - the second one off Rochet and onto the bar was the worst. He...

    He's a livewire and gets lots of chances with his pace and movement, but he can't finish most of them. Same story as at Liverpool.

    @Birdy Kit lunacy in the Copa America now. Uruguay wearing their all white kit when they could easily wear blue shirts and black shorts and socks against Colombia's yellow shirts, blue shorts and red socks.

    Euro 2024

    It's a crude analogy, but it's similar to advantage. With advantage, if you play on and no advantage happens in the first few seconds, another tug of the shirt or something, it is rightly pulled back for the initial foul. But if play on and lose the ball fairly or fuck it up, then rightly the...
