I think we have only had like two power outages in ten years in my street. That might make you think our country is well run, but you'd be wrong.

Fati derives electricity based on how long Ronaldo stays in tournaments :unsure:

I know Zubimendi is a good player, and he fitted in seamlessly, but I admit to being worried when this master of midfield had to be substituted due to injury at half-time. It had all the hallmarks of an England spawn job. As I said, he is the best player in the world for me, and has been for...

That's a new phenomenon though. Previous to 2018 they'd been in two semi-finals since 1966.

Fati lad. Welcome back son. Just go easy on the trolling ;)

Palmer is definitely much more technically gifted than him - anyone who's ever played the game, doesn't fall for Bellingham's PR, and can recognise technique will agree I think. Palmer's first touch, manipulation of the ball, dribbling, drop of the shoulder, jinking are on a different level to...

Still in amazement that he's only 17 years and two days old yet already obliterated Creepnaldo's international career :lol:

Last post for a while...I read someone write these about him. It sums up what i think of him at the moment 'He clearly is a talent. My objection to the attention he receives goes beyond him and into the obsession with individuals beyond teamplay. When I listen to English football commentary, I...

Hyping up lads like him are why England think they have a better squad than everyone else, and should be winning tournaments with no issues. Pep's system clearly makes him look better than he is. He will continue to do this - star for Man City, then struggle with England. And everyone will ask...

Yes they have quality players, but more importantly they are a cohesive team.

I will concede though that I have come across like I have a pathological hatred of the boy. But overall, even if I have gone over the top - I am not convinced he's going to maintain this 'greatness' you speak of. So much can happen in football and he's already showing signs of getting too big...

As for this, you could very well be right. My issue is that his style of play still leans for more to the athletic side. Also, playing for a huge club like Real Madrid with all their illogical witchcraft will always make it easier for him to stand out. Real Madrid will always be successful...

Yeah but my point is that it's ironic to say what he did on a Man United forum of all place. Anyway, on Bellingham - said he'd be mediocre tonight and I was right. Put him up against an organised and well-drilled side where he's not playing in a team with a talent advantage, and he gets found out.

'Bellingham is so much above the other young players in terms of quality' He isn't. He hasn't proved that. His buddy Musiala and Yamal as two examples, clearly have more football ability than him. It's blatantly obvious. Jude is a physical specimen which disguises issues with his game. I...

I don't generally get involved with intangibles like mentality etc, but Argentina and this guy are different... He's a force of nature. Massive personality who inspires his team-mates and sends confidence through the entire side.

Like I said the other day as well - what's really impressive about Argentina is their fight. We all love to see great passing, movement and football, and they can do that. But consistently in these last three tournaments, Argentina have faced adversity in games and battled and shown a good...

No idea how I am still awake. I was nodding off during the game but managed to see all of second half of extra time and the goal.

He could have won fuck all in his career and he'd still be significantly more talented than him. There's absolutely no comparison between them as footballers, but Ronaldo managed to fool people with goal stats and achievements.

He's quality. Have always liked him.

Always have rated Lautaro Martinez to be honest -think he's a quality striker. Good finisher, good technically, decent dribbler. But glad to see Argentina to do it. Colombia pushed them all the way and there was no more worthy team to give Argentina a scare there. But ultimately that is three...
