It's not either/or. Messi can be the greatest player of all time and he can be backed up by possibly the best midfield of all time. It's that combination of brilliance that leads to what was the greatest club side I have personally ever seen (in my opinion) and the sheer dominance they held over...

He's deluded. He and Marchisio were good players, but didn't have close to the talent or time at the VERY top as Xavi, Iniesta and Busi., Pogba did well at Juve but is staggeringly overrated. Pirlo is the only player of those four on those three's level. I watched that Juventus midfield a fair...

Yeah Villa are probably better than Juve at the moment and you'd imagine can pay better wages too with the investment and the PL money. Might be totally wrong though.

Has Foden bleached his hair again? Or is that from 2021? The boy is an attention-seeker.

Yeah. I am just not a very nationalist type of person in general (ironic given I follow a sport of 'clans' in terms of club and national teams). I tend to believe that we are all human beings and it isn't always good to limit ourselves to regions, or box ourselves in as types. However, I...

Haha. I am actually not very nationalist. I don't really care much for our NT (our media is almost as bad as England's). It is simply the way English media sucks itself off, and hypes up the English players due to the PL propaganda. It's just rivalry etc. I have been predicting England to fail...

Haha yeah man. Thanks for the discussion - you seem a good lad.

No mate. I am from Scotland hence the dislike of the English media and NT lol (not English people though, many of them are lovely). I hear Slovakia is a beautiful country though. I have looked at Bratislava on google images before and seems a gorgeous place. In fact many cities in that sort of...

https://forum.pieandbovril.com/topic/292110-the-competition-format/ some good discussion on the format. I was thinking about this myself. They won't go back to 16, so if you expand to 32 you are looking at adding some of Israel, the two Irelands, Wales, Iceland, Finland, Bosnia, Sweden...

Ah ok. Have you locked your predictions now and can't alter them? With the two games I refer to you can change right up til kick off of each match. Just googled it, looks a fun site.

Which predictor game do you play? Superbru? UEFA.com?

I watch every game regardless, but yeah it could be a snoozefest. I have predicted 2-0 England, but obviously I am hoping for 10-0 Slovakia.

Nice one - got points for an Argentina win (predicted 1-0, got a close), and predicted 1-1 in the other game so also got a close for that.

A great and overlooked point. Back in the day, before satellite TV and then the internet, international tournaments were the only way you could regularly watch a Maradona or a Hagi. Now the world is a far smaller, far less mysterious place and everyone knows every fairly famous player.

Terrific defender, but a very strange man.

He couldn't get into the game much but he was ok. Can right brought on for fresh legs.

State of that Rojofiam in the Hojlund thread on Redcafe. The guy is clueless - Hojlund is and will remain a nothing player.

Or he gets brought down for a penalty by Neuer. He's only 21 but I really don't rate him. It isn't even his finishing - it is his all round game. He makes poor runs inside and outside the box, has poor hold up play, awful first touch most of the time, mediocre passer and link up. He's Haaland...

It's like his fans and the media change opinions and criteria based on what makes him look best :)

Might get abandoned and play tomorrow afternoon before the England game. Who knows.
