Wonder who it will be in two years :lol:

International finals have been Sundays for decades. I agree it should be Saturday though.

Seen that earlier mate. It's embarrassing as a Scot but funny at the same time, lol.

Was an amazing finish. What shouldn't be underestimated is the play in the corner to get out of the press, and then the pace from Sergi Roberto to drive at the heart of Madrid and begin to create. Gomes, Alba and of course Messi though - they all played their part. I actually missed that game...

It does feel like one of those games Spain will be the far better team, miss chances, and England will spawn it with 'Real Madrid voodoo', in draconifire's words. As a Scot, I am preparing myself for the worst. Southgate winning it and Bellingham being anointed as the best thing since sliced...

True I guess. He played more like that for Arsenal I guess. Maybe I am being harsh, he has just never convinced me much. I acknowledge he's better out of possession and athletically than on the ball, though.

They could also, on another day, quite easily have won in 2014, 2015 and 2016. I guess they could have lost in 2022 too though. Fine margins.

Well-thought out post mate and good spirit at the end, with hoping it's a well-contested game with no horrible moments off the pitch, and the best team wins. I agree with plenty of your assessments and you deserve a like for putting a lot of effort into that. Well done.

I know you're gone, but Vidic had the same weaknesses.

Both brilliant at prime and would have been great to see them play together.

Messigician is a bit like that yeah, but he hasn't insulted me or anything so I don't feel annoyed by his direct comments to me really. Not to go on about it, but Gnidr is just a bad guy I think. He's well-read and charismatic, but there's something sinister about the way he demonises others...

Henry was a great player but at Arsenal and for France he never did anything in the CL, Euros or World Cup big games. He was past his best at Barca and poor at Juventus too. I realise I am nitpicking a bit but hIs legend is built on being amazing in a PL which had yet to become close to the best...

So what do we think? I haven't seen him apart from at the Euros, where to be fair he barely got a chance. I know Birdy rates him, do you guys think he will be a success? It's so hard to tell with young players, especially somewhere like Old Trafford which has been a disaster for young purchased...

I have to admit, even as an ABE, I love It's Coming Home. It's a brilliant song. It's Coming Rome is good too.

I have been reading it on and off since 2008 :lol: I like to read their delusional comments and meltdowns when they struggle. Messi v Ronaldo, as stated many times, is a manufactured debate to make money. Messi has always been miles better than that cunt. I really enjoy watching them lose...

The overall point about Mainoo is that as an ABU, I have really enjoyed the clown show there in the last 11 years. If they start getting good players eg if Mainoo achieves his potential, there's more chance of that clown show stopping. Hence me downplaying him maybe.

Yeah, I respect if someone disagrees with me - I don't always claim to be right. But I don't get it with Garnacho. He just seems like a runner with no football IQ and who runs down blind alleys. It will work for him now and then but I don't think he's up to much. As you say Lamine is night and...

Yeah they are clowns. So biased and bitter and they hate when other clubs get praised and they don't. I am not a Garnacho fan tbh, just a head down and run merchant. Tbf I am not much of a fan of Rice myself, but with them it's their bias - if Rice played for them he'd be better than Rijkaard...

Good post. Love the dig at Bellend too.

We keep hearing about how 'great' these players are and how Southgate is holding them back. But are they as good as claimed? They have to take some responsibility for their own generally pitiful performances; it's not all on the coach, just partly. Their players are clearly generally good...
