Club rivals, similar players, great teammates :lol: That duo would be amazing with the senior team in the future.

Bruma scored for Portugal vs Nigeria

Saul, Suso, and Oliver are trying to many hollywood long balls and losing possession in the process.

Then Manquillo retaliates immaturely with an arm across the face :lol:

Unbelievable. Had to be a penalty there. Good play from Manquillo but the stupid ref didn't even see it.

Spanish side is very lively but haven't clicked into possession and control yet (partially to USA's credit). Overall looks like it'll be a good game

Beautiful cross from Deulofeu, beautiful finish from Jese 1-0

USA pressing hard, let's see how long they can keep it up

Oliver is captaining the side? Impressive :wub:

Thanks

How long till kickoff?

Tactically we have been horrible. Nowadays the idea is just to pass it around the opposition's defensive crowd repeatedly from wing to wing until eventually a player (usually Messi) finds a way in to score. That doesn't work as well vs solid defenses like Bayern, Madrid, or PSG and that showed

France is going to be unreal defensively over the next few years: Kondogbia Pogba Zouma Laporte Varane Digne Mangala Sakho

Yes but key word is rest. We can't rely on him to play 60 games a season anymore, he suffers and so do we. Even in a footballing manner he isn't exactly "Mr. Throughball" anymore and doesn't play with the same purpose and drive as before.

I'm not saying Xavi was absolute crap but he definitely wasn't at the levels he was during his prime. He wasn't playing at his best consistently and while tactics did play a part in that, it has to be said that he did have some decline in this season's performances. He had massive influences on...

Do you think he'd be able to express his creativity with players like Messi and Neymar? I doubt it. Isco isn't exactly like Iniesta, he's a skillful roaming 10 who works best being the main focal point. At Barca he'd be restricted and limited, not able to flourish as much. Same reason why Mata...

The post wasn't really Anti-Xavi or Anti-Tito in any way, not assigning blame necessarily. Good in big games? One big game. Other than that he was battling fatigue or injury and was fairly unspectacular or impressive.

Xavi has been inconsistent and fatigued this season. The only two performances similar to an in-prime Xavi would be the game vs Malaga and vs Milan. Other than that he played like a correct player, not too spectacular. This is due to age and overplaying, his role requires a lot of mobility and...

Haha I'm hoping I don't have to find a new one but if I do, probably an Athletic player

Deulofeu would be better off on loan, doesn't seem like he'd get playing time here.
