    Erling Haaland

    It's funny how people say 'Courtois made saves so he wasn't horrible' but when Courtois makes saves from Salah in CL Finals, Salah is castigated as bottling it. It's just more evidence of something I think - some players (Haaland, Lewandowski, Ronaldo with his fanboys) are more popular with...

    Steven Gerrard

    Everything I hate in a midfielder. No ability to intelligently control a game, just constant chaos, like a better Bruno Fernandes. Typical British brute midfielder. The fact he thinks he would get into the current PSG midfield is funny too, shows he's dumb (he really does come across as someone...

    Erling Haaland

    He scores goals in earlier rounds. In the knockout phase of the treble season his performances were awful and he hardly scored to boot. He was one of their worst players in the semi and final. And you're still going on about stats. I have seen him improve his all-round game but it is still...

    Erling Haaland

    Yes, his three knockout goals came in the Euros, and I think at least two of those were headers, maybe all three. None with his feet. How pitiful for a man who has had more chances than anyone. All the excuses about Portugal being a weak team too are nonsense, and even if they weren't, guys like...

    Erling Haaland

    Never denied any of that, I am just asking for some context here. Like I explained in the CL he hasn't done much in the very big games. We have seen with Rooney, Lewa and to a lesser extent Ronaldo, players running riot in stats in qualifiers then being terrible at tournaments. Ronaldo's goals...

    Erling Haaland

    That's true. But people should put it in proper perspective. Wanking over goals against Estonia, Moldova and Lithuania is hilarious. The level at tournaments is generally much higher, other than the odd poor country who slip through. Like I said Aaasgard scored four against Moldova and Rangers...

    Erling Haaland

    I am talking about international tournaments where he hasn't played yet.. And yeah, he's scored a lot of goals in the CL, but so many come in bunches and in games that aren't right at the end of the tournament, like Lewandowski who mostly scores in the groups or early knockout rounds. he is...

    Erling Haaland

    Here's posts in the wc qualifying thread from @ThwiX , which sum up what i am saying and I agree with fully. 'Haaland with 11 goals in 6 games. The quality of these national teams in European qualifiers is embarrassing and what Penaldo built his NT goal record on. Hopefully Haaland can troll...

    Erling Haaland

    Yeah, in qualifiers, mostly beating up on minnows, that is my point. I never denied he's one of the best strikers in the world - my point is that doing it in qualifiers is a whole different ball game to the actual tournaments, where he is untested. Like people wanking over Ronaldo's goals...

    Erling Haaland

    Aasgard scored four goals against Moldova and from watching him at rangers he is absolutely fucking awful. Come back to reality please, saying there's few weak teams in UEFA. You sound like a Haaland fanboy but there's no need to lie to make him seem better. Let's see if he can do it in the...

    Also, sweden are average and don't have a phenomenal goalscorer like Haaland, which is why the fuck it up so often. Also Kosovo and Slovenia aren't as bad as Estonia or Moldova.

    Erling Haaland

    Come off it, teams like Moldova, Estonia and even Israel should be losing heavily when there's someone like Haaland who is an unreal goalscorer. It's harder for pragmatic teams like Italy to hammer teams like that - but teams with guys who specialise in scoring loads of goals (Haaland, Ronaldo)...

    Erling Haaland

    Beating up on weaker teams, which is what you need in these qualifiers where there's minnows and goal difference is the tiebreaker. It's mainly because of him (and a few others) that their goal difference is so so good and they probably can afford to lose by three or four goals to Italy in the...

    World Cup '26 qualifiers discussion

    There's no way at all they will qualify from this group automatically if Norway beat Estonia, as I detailed. Surely the goal difference is far too much. Can you see the Italians putting 10 past Moldova and 7 past Israel? That's what they need to do, and hope Norway struggle to beat Estonia, and...

    World Cup '26 qualifiers discussion

    Also, due to the weird three game group format (used at World Cups in latter stages of the 70s and 80s), UAE only need a draw against Qatar on Tuesday to qualify. UAE came back to beat Oman in the last 15 minutes, otherwise it would have been Oman in a great position. These are the group of...

    World Cup '26 qualifiers discussion

    Let's just say (and this is worst case scenario for Norway, other than the nightmare of not actually beating Estonia) that Norway beat Estonia 1-0 and Italy beat both Israel and Moldova 5-0 (I think realistically Norway will win by more and Italy will not rack up that many goals, but bear with...

    Portugal

    Agree, they either look average at best, or downright fucking ugly. Zayn is by far the best. Talk soon.

    Portugal

    Zayn? Yeah. Even though he's tried to destroy himself with drugs, tattoos and weight loss. he's better looking than the other four combined. harry Styles in my top 3 overrated for looks male famous guys.

    Portugal

    Aye, only Zayn is even good looking too for me. Being in a boyband is a ticket to girls at that age, even when you don't even look that good. Something about being in a boyband drives young girls crazy. It doesn't even matter what the guy looks like. Girls are like sheep with them.
