Get back to me when Balde is able to bully attackers off the ball as easily as Mendes. Mendes is a beast physically. Attacking wise I agree though, Balde is pretty close to Mendes.
Also, it's not talked about enough that DLF fuked up big time by starting Mingueza instead of Porro. Yamal plays much better with an RB that pushes forward and supports him. Mingueza is worse than Fort in attack. Just simple tactics really, made no sense to start Mingueza which basically neuters...
I thought Thunder would sweep them considering how comfortable they looked against all the west teams in the playoffs... but this is another level. Hats off to Indiana. I hope their cinderella story continues
He is a fraud. All German coaches saw that he wasn't that good and would never be the #1 for the NT. It's our dumbass front office led by Bartomeu back then that was praising him.
Agreed, every day we will hear a headline like "JOAN GARCIA ONE STEP AWAY FROM SIGNING THE DEAL. Needs to visit his aunt in Sevilla first before making the trip to Camp Nou."
Our high line with slow ass Inigo and Cubarsi would get exposed so badly vs this QSG, yall are crazy to think otherwise. They’re not Inter who’s composed of 40 year olds
Reading the Forza Inter forums, it’s very similar to our Liverpool Barcelona thread from back in the day. Fans pissed at their aging squad, no hope, and blaming the mentality of their team.
What’s also strange to me was the mentality: It seems like they sorta gave up in the second half while...
One huge positive for Barca fans in this final: This officially beat out the AC Milan vs Barca 4-0 thrashing as the worst ucl final scoreline in modern cl history
The pace is too much for Inter, I honestly think it would’ve been too much for our team too. Our high line would be heavily exposed and all the traps would be too late
Phoenix is a much bigger city (population wise) than the other three. Milwaukee is just slightly smaller population wise than Oklahoma City. I think this might truly be the smallest market NBA finals if Indiana finishes the job
It's taken quite literally more than decade to field a decent La Masia first team (Barca 24/25). All the talents before were way too overrated or got injured (Fati).
To be fair, the hype was so high for la masia back then because of all the trophies we won. Many users here, including myself, were hyped for all the la masia players. I remember the times when we thought we had our next Iniesta in Denis Suarez
