Dope pics, @vtotheinay .

Any of y'all been to Basque Country, specifically San Sebastian? Looking for May.

Edit:
Those Chile kits growing on me.

Don't forget Paulinho at Bayer Leverkusen

You right. Carioca winger from Vasco. Leverkusen gave him the #7 shirt right off the bat. Wendell helping his fellow Bracuza assimilate to Alemania. Paulinho models his game after CR7 but some think he's more Kaka.

You think his future is best as a winger or CF?

Got to watch the Mexico v Chile match last night pitch side. First time ever being that close to a match. Atmosphere was off the charts. Slow first half, but 2nd half was wild. Only thing was the Mexican fans were throwing beers and hitting security photographers after every goal. Really ruined the experience in the 2nd half having to watch out for cups full of beer and debris being coming at us after every goal. Other than that, amazing experience

man that's crazy. i just wanna walk on the pitch one time in my life


brazil was pretty mediocre today.

 

[Coupé It]

This Portugal team is pretty exciting. Solid bench too. Portugal controlled the match but lacked some creativity. Bernardo's dribbling didn't get him far. Neves didn't really solidify his place in the match. You guys need to be more clinical. Serbia will def be more of a challenge than Ukraine.

Thanks, I guess it seemed like a bad day.....Meh

But yes, on paper - this is one of the best Portuguese squads in a while. By Euro 2020, hopefully João Felix can contribute.

I’m last time Portugal played Serbia, Filipão punched a player

Miss that dude

 

[jape]

damn that jab was uncalled for

i think you keep kroos one more year then sell him next summer.

Nice test for Ødegaard vs Spain today

 

[aepps20]

Sometimes as a trainer you let your emotions get the best of you. You want the best for your students and they some times let you down. Some may say Filipão was wrong for unloading the jab on his player but to be honest, with his form he could've unloaded a left hook to lay his player out. Filipão showed great restraint by just using the jab. Fellas, if you have players that aren't living up to their potential, never be afraid to unload a jab to their jaw to get their attention.

I’m Mexican and I think our fans are terrible. Not all, but a lot are disrespectful

Nice little turn on Busquets right now, forgot this dude existed

 

[AZwildcats]

How many chances does Morata need to score? God damn man

 

[MetalMario]

omg Aepps arrived! I'd never thought I'd see the day he comes into the footy thread

here's a super cut of Zinchenko yesterday against Portugal. man Pep does amazing work. I recall someone somewhere saying that Pep practically has 5 #10s on the field at one time and I never forgot that. all that and he uses Zin as a LB.
.

 

[champcruthik]

That team play by Espana few minutes ago was dirty. Asensio started it with a reverse ball in the box. Parejo and Ceballos teed up Rodrigo nicely.

Busquets almost notched the second goal moments later. Just wide.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Spain could easily be up by several goals, Norway did create 1 tap in they missed on

 

[champcruthik]

Luis Enrique trolling by starting Jesus Navas at RB.

 

[cs02132]

Paqueta is dirty, man. Kaka ready to crown him with the #10 Brasil shirt. Would like to see him become at least more conscious defensively and get that work rate up. He got caught out on Vecino's opening goal in the Milan derby. You can see how comfortable Paqueta is attacking though. Confident young man. Fearless dribbler. Good shot from distance.

It's crazy but don't forget Gabby Jesus is only 21 too. Born only a month before Richarlison. He's not in great form for City and underwhelmed in the '18 WC, but still like his future.

We didn't even mention Vinicius (1 or Malcom (22). Craques . There's Walace also. Baiano who contributed to help Brasil win Olympic gold in '16. Covers a lot of ground as a DM. Good passing ability. I'd like to see Phelipe eventually break in as Brasil's #3 keeper behind Alisson and Ederson. He's with Gremio's B squad and has experience with the U20s.

Who's brilliant idea was it to bring back the white kits? Haven't been used since 1950. Only invokes the 'Maracanazo' on Brasilian soil. I'm gonna cop the long-sleeve anyway, but I don't get it.

Gotta love these Brazilians names

 

[AZwildcats]

I actually feel bad for Morata now, guess that move to Atleti didn’t do much for his confidence

 

[eracism]

The yips

Panenka everytime. Do your research.

Winger, I've seen him switch flanks with Bailey during games. I can see him playing up top but as asecond striker.

How many chances does Morata need to score? God damn man

Rodrigo>>>>>Morata

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Rodrigo, Morata & Asensio have created a lot chances, the finishing just isn't there, showed some skill too

i got hands and unlimited boxing knowledge from my man aepps
