A poor WC overall for me. Every team, even the big ones, playing negative football just to get the result. I guess that's the thing nowadays. I say this from a neutral perspective as Romania hasn't qualified for a WC since 1998. Also didn't get the Croatia hype apart from them being an underdog...

Spot on really. The world has gone mad for workhorses and teams that grind out results but play like shit. Got taken off in a WC final for being shite, enough said about Lord Kante. He's an OK player and seems like a good guy, but otherwise I wouldn't swap him for a prime Seidou Keita. PS: and...

The possible WC win doesn't matter here. Apart from pure natural ability, both Xavi and Iniesta had the la masia upbringing, which I think counts alot. Furthermore each of them had something special. Xavi had the ability to read the game and find/open spaces like no other player. Iniesta was a...

No, they can't. Germany, Brasil, Spain will get their shit together and start performing. England just got lucky with the draw this time. In order for them to compete they need better players, especially better midfielders.

what do you guys think of rodrigo bentancur as a midfield option?

Why don't we go for Saul Niguez? Wouldn't he be an option?

dodged a bullet in the end. paulinho wasn't the type of player for us and we didn't lose money on the transfer. now let's get to business and build a squad that can win the CL.

Yeah, after the Messi show when playing with no pressure at 2-0 already. The man had it easy in the national team due to his friendship with Tite. Otherwise they haven't won shit with Paulinho as false 10 or whatever the fuck he's playing in that side. A waste of space for some goals that rarely...

Other times horrendous. You just have to watch that first leg vs Chelsea to understand that he was not a Barca playe

My thoughts exactly. He was very well placed.

So much for Modric as ballon dor winner. Croatia is too inconsistent.

Sell, get the money and run!

Griezman, Neymar, Modric? It will be the same as when Cannavaro won it. Just meh. It will be like giving the award just for the sake of it. Based on the same logic, even Suarez should be considered if they win it. Or maybe Spain and they give it to Iniesta as a career award. I think it is more...

Suarez to win the WC and balloon dor :suarez1:

At least we'll all enjoy the tournament and be relaxed.

Messi looks ready to rock and roll. Hope he tears the french to shreds.

should have bought him instead of gomes or arda. he's not a world beater but a tidy player that gets the job done and much better than the clowns we bought for 80 millions. now i feel it is too late, even dough he is only 29.

Messi is more static than my fucking couch on which I'm sitting right now. And he brings on meza..

Mascherano or Banega to get a red

read the messi topic and you'll see idiots in full force. i was being sarcastic anyway, don't get mad for nothing.
