    Nations League 24/25

    Lol they hate Ronaldo more than King Leo and me do, it's rather funny haha.

    Portugal

    Bizarre lineup for sure. Several players don't seem to be playing in their optimal positions, and won't even if it's 343/352. I really really do not rate Martinez as a coach at all. He's a spineless, weak-willed little man who bends to player power at every opportunity. He was the same at Belgium.

    Yeah that is a good point regarding African players. I was thinking that is something for Man United to consider a drawback with Mbeumo too.

    Paul Pogba

    That guy in that Twitter post is a clown. Posts a 1 minute video of Pogba trying to prove something. Pogba was average at best for Man United and all of Caicedo, Fernandez, Rice and Gravenberch have already surpassed what he did at United. He was always horrendous in tight spaces too, which is...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Yeah obviously Lewa has been a fantastic striker in his career, but he's just too old. I know he scored plenty of goals last season but he showed his age in a lot of games I watched too. Doesn't matter who you are, you can't be a 37-year-old starting CF for FC Barcelona.

    AC Milan

    Fair enough. Haven't really watched enough of him. Hopefully he has a good career in Manchester. I like Tonali a lot aye.

    Marc-Andre ter Stegen (loaned to Girona)

    He's playing tonight v Portugal.

    AC Milan

    Riejnders is good but - and I know Birdy will destroy me for saying it - he feels a bit flavour of the month (season). He could do very well at Man City but there's a good chance he flops too. Thoughts @Don Juan Laporta Estruch ?

    Ousmane Dembélé

    That's high praise indeed.

    Argentina

    Fair points, and of course I indirectly alluded to the fact that South Americans teams will have an advantage with it being played in North America/the Americas generally. I guess I am just a liker of these little facts and superstitions. But you're right - history is made to be broken and it's...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    Yeah I understand that. My argument is that Messi was better in general play and by other, deeper metrics than just G/A. I suppose the issue with this though is that it would mean Messi wins it every year by default simply by being the best player, and it invalidates the idea that trophies and...

    Ballon d'Or 2025

    Actually Uruguay have won the Copa America far more than Brazil have. It goes 16 Argentina, 15 Uruguay, 9 Brazil. But I understand you mean in recent times. So I am being a bit naughty, lol.

    Liverpool

    Lol I actually rate him probably the most from their 'deadwood', and if he did go for £12.5m rising to £18m, I think that could be a bargain for Brentford. Haven't looked at the link though.

    Liverpool

    If they're signing him and they already have Frimpong - assuming both maintain their level or even improve - then they have refreshed their full-back positions and could be set for the next 7-8 years. Full backs are very important in the modern game. I rate both players quite highly. But of...

    Real Madrid

    Read this online about Stiller. I know it's all fun and games and he's likely ok with his appearance, but just a reminder that his condition he had/has - cleft lip - is very real (I know someone with it and he's a great guy) and causes people to feel down about their appearance. This is the...

    Manchester United

    Just got pumped 5-0 in a CL Final, so let's loan a donkey who can't score or hold the ball up, lol.

    Look man, he's class.

    Brazil

    Well-observed point. His teams (certainly at Real Madrid against equal standing sides) are built on staying in the game with decisions and last-ditch defending, and nicking something in attack. It might be tough for him as this Brazil isn't really built to withstand pressure.

    Nations League 24/25

    Despite not being a big fan of this, it's better than no men's senior football to watch. First semi final of the Finals tonight. Germany v Portugal. Hopefully Germany give them the beating of their lives. Apologies @Fati_Future_BallonDor.

    Argentina

    Be surprised if the winner isn't one of Spain, Germany or France. England as well I guess but they always bottle it. Argentina have a shout in my opinion but less than those three/four. Bear in mind too that the World Cup has only been successfully defended twice (by Italy in 1938 and Brazil in...
