⚽️The Footy Thread: German Super Cup, International Champions Cup, Copa Libertadores

Forgot about that but still it’s hard to compare the two just off goals and assists. We don’t need KDB to be the main provider of goals and assists for us to compete us much as united need Pogba too for them to compete. Our goals and assists are much more spread out throughout the squad.

Part of what makes Pogba's numbers more impressive imo. You guys have strength on top of strength in the final third and just about everyone eats. It's tougher eating well when everyone around you is so reliant on you to be effective while having defenses being well aware of that and planning their strategies around stopping you.

KDB is still world class to me but I can't see him having the same level of success if he was playing in the same role and relied upon in the same capacity at United than vice versa

Disagree cause we have seen KDB do that atoo at Wolfsburg. We’ve seen him Be the main man without other world class help before and put up monster numbers. Carried them to a 2nd place finish and a cup win

Yea he did tear it up at Wolfsburg which is why he'll always be world class to me but just can't see him being as influential in the United set up than he is at Citeh whereas I could see Pogs putting up Yaya 2013 #'s under Pep.

It's mainly a matter of what you prefer personally though since they're easily the 2 best mids in the league so there isn't really a wrong answer when it comes to choosing between the 2 imo. Been fun to see both plying their trade in Manchester

Wish him the best, always thought he had talent.

Coupé It : Quintero is no longer a River Plate player on loan from Porto, he's just a River Plate player now.

The Trolling is EPIC

But Pogba was getting judged by those same two stats since he’s returned. I remember the consensus in here was he’s an attacking mf, his numbers should reflect that. How else should we compare these two ? I think it’s an interesting conversation eith them playing similar amount of games and especially as of late. I think on their day they are two of the most exciting players in the league. Fair point about penalties tho

That looks exactly like the first ever shirt Nike did for Barca... Think it might be the 20th anniversary of the club's partnership with Nike. Will be cool to see on the pitch. Wonder if it will be on sale.

Before the start of the season, I never would've thought the young guns on the team would not step up. Absolutely surprised by this. Glad it's happened to. Love seeing that wannabe goon benz struggle... He misses were comical...

How have the young players not stepped up? Reguilon, a nobody to start the season, was man of the match for RM and has relegated Marcelo to the bench. An 18 year old Vinicius is leading the attack. Llorente deputized at an extremely high level for Casemiro before getting injured and allowing Casemiro to secure his place back. Ceballos could be better, but has been decent. Odriozola has also been decent when called upon. The only real disappointment has been Asensio.

Overall, it’s not really the young players that have been the problem for Real. That was more of an issue last season.

Soria is a hilarious troll.... let him live

They’re singing the song Cristobal Soria made famous last year. A tweaked version is in Soria video I posted last night.

It’s not just Barça fans who sing this. Every time RM are on the road in Spain, opposition fans will sing “DONDE ESTA CR7???.......CR7 NO ESTAAAAA”

Cristobal Soria deserves a check, someone pay this man

I personally think he’s too good to stay in Argentina, but he must be comfortable there. River Plate fans adore him after his performance in the two-leg final against Boca.

This is so dope...


Thank God the Barça board voted against that terrible new logo a couple months ago. I knew they would do the right thing.

Any info on Joao Felix from Benfica Coupé It

Dimarzio's reported that his agent has had meetings with both Manc clubs and Juve for his potential signature this summer this week. Keep seeing 100m+ figures thrown too,is he really that high a level prospect?

 

[Thierry Henry]

Hope to get a nice W from arsenal today as my birthday present

You a February baby too? Nice, mine was last Thursday. Good to get that W and see Frog Eyes on the score sheet

Why is Barca going extra hard with the starting 11

not sure if serious

Cause it's **** real madrid and errbody who love them *Lil Wayne voice*

Coupé It : Quintero is no longer a River Plate player on loan from Porto, he's just a River Plate player now.

Is he still making reggaeton?

Historic clubs need to leave their crests alone. What Juve did to theirs is an abomination. Atletico Madrid's new crest isn't as bad as Juve's, but Atleti fans have been begging the club to switch back.

That’s the good thing about having socios/members as opposed to owners/one men operated clubs. Membes can vote or strike down a ridiculous proposal.

Like what Everton did to their logo a couple years of years ago, out of nowhere

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Some of these clubs can use a change, I'm looking at you Napoli
