If you hear he's been assassinated don't expect me to be back online :cautious:

Yeah that is true. I am far from a fan of Pogba but he can play an incisive pass. I said a while ago that - even though he only really performed well in WC 2018 - they have missed his passing ability hugely. Now they have noone who can open teams up on the counter, as you say, anyone who can...

There's a real dearth of absolutely top quality NTs right now. Argentina and Spain are two, and I think Germany can join them with Nagelsmann leading them. France have outrageous talent in quantity definitely (and in quality too), but they play such negative non-connective football. I'd be...

I just can't get turned on for the Nations League until the knockouts start (and I believe there are quarter finals this 'season' rather than straight to a mini-tournament). I don't know what it is, it just seems so soulless. It's just UEFA doing everything they can to make more money. It's...

He's probably gonna score at Hampden on Tuesday. He will be fed plenty of great chances in the box and he will score one or two, it's almost guaranteed. It's just as well (as I have said many times) I don't care about the national team. But he will likely score the winner like he did last month.

That's not Flick. It's Scotland. We are absolutely fucking garbage at football and would be if we had a management coalition of Pep Guardiola, Rinus Michels and Alex Ferguson.

We're actually drawing away in Croatia. They'll win in the second half, though. I don't generally care about the NT though. Also, as I will be near Glasgow on Tuesday, Ronaldo will be within a 10 mile vicinity of me when Portugal come to Glasgow in a day or two. I feel filthy being that close...

Like many people he's an enigma and not a one-dimensional character.

Aye probably not a good idea for us to believe these things as so much is often made up. However, something like this fits his personality it would seem.

He's a prima donna isn't he.

The first miss was especially pathetic. He just has to set it out a little wider with so much of that side of the goal to aim at, and then lift it so the outstretched leg cannot save it. It's an easy finish for a professional player in the Premier League. The one with Walker is closed down well...

Good to see him doing well. Keep it up, Rab.

The older ones must be on some magic beans or some heavy propecia to have such good heads of hair in their thirties, given their father. Then again, I am sure baldness comes from the mother's side doesn't it?

I know those are all-time results, but plenty came recently as well. They tend to do not bad sometimes in big games (sometimes they get hammered) because of a tactical quirk - they're a counter-attacking and pace club that thrive on space. That's them through and through. Better teams play more...

Is he injured that much? He seems to play a lot for them dating back to 2018. He's been out at times but I don't remember him being out often. Either way, great goalkeeper. Prefer him to Ederson.

Good post, especially bolded. They play so many games that even guys like Lukaku and others have scored more goals at international level (or will) than lads like Pele or G Muller. The separation of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union into much smaller states (many of which are poor quality teams...

Some of those twists and turns are brilliant for his age. Good lad.

Amongst other things, he's the dribble master. I love dribbling, it's the most exciting thing in football, Maybe I am biased towards it too because I am diminutive and a very good dribbler myself (at my infinitely lower level). I just love watching dribblers - whether it's economical dribblers...

I honestly cannot understand it. I know some smart guys do it and they do it with the caveat that Maradona had far less longevity and fucked his career a lot. However, surely anyone can see he was in a completely different stratosphere of talent? Maradona was an alien, as talented as Messi...
