only way for european teams to compete on a global scale is to hire foreign players. no latin american teams do this

This isn’t true at all. If you’re seeking an explanation as to why a European nation will win the World Cup for the 4th straight time, I’ll give you one. South America has only two countries that consistently compete at an elite level, Europe has roughly 6. There’s your explanation.

the tweet says france is an african team, most people in here feel like griezz wishes he was black, so him being in the background of this video dancing is funny

sidenote: from pogba's post match interview today

This is why I **** wit France, it is a team of immigrants and children of immigrants.

As a black immigrant myself, albeit in another country, I want to see those brothers shine

The Ballon D’Or will be Ronnie, Messi, and the ONLY ones who have a shot of dethroning them would be Griezz or Harry Kane. (depending on which one wins the WC.)

I would’ve loved to have seen Salah win the BdO... Had Pool won the CL, I think he would have...

Yeah, I was thinking about this earlier. Sucks Egypt is so sorry. But if Liverpool had won the CL, I think it’d be a no brainer that he deserved it. Would’ve been lovely.

“Like if you hate Sergio Ramos”...

Scumbag Ramos crying made my whole week

His ****** up haircut was the cherry on top

Greizmann half Portuguese (not that that should ease tensions, I’m jus sayin people forget that). Quaresma came out the womb wanting to be black, it happens every now again with Portuguese players . The Portuguese and African community have close ties, our greatest player is Eusebio.

 

[Canadian Destroyer]

If France do the damb thang I would say give it to Kylian but Griez having a stwllar season as well probably better since he won the Europa title
Aside from being into french youth/street culture I also f with the french national team because they are a hood team of immigrants/ 2nd generation immigrants. African/arab and griez up in there

 

[Bosa]

Just a friendly reminder.
Brazil is out of the wc race

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Hazard may not have scored but his play was dominant today.

 

[Beans]

Winning a World Cup won’t boost anyone’s chances to win bdo (outside of Messi/cr7). If iniesta couldn’t win.. no one else will, while those two are still around and relevant

Didn't wanna sit for the fade but caught the fade at the end.

 

[rolaholic]

Allison's replacement?



Mendes trying to create his own saga

Could make some sense since apparently Florentino is pissed and doesn't want to sell to Juve for just 100m and the deal to Turin might collapse if he asks for too much..

 

[rolaholic]

On the earlier b'dor discussion,no one has done enough really to squash the duopoly

Salah would've likely won it had Liverpool won the CL imo but we all know how that worked out along with Egypts weak WC campaign. I think he'll finish top 3 but I can't seen
him beating out one of the 2 aliens.

Can't see anyone on any of the remaining teams winning either even if they manage to win the WC. None of France's best players have necessarily been dominant this year. Neither Kante or Pogba won anything major,Griez had a decent season by his standards and Mbappe put up better numbers during his final season at Monaco than he did last season with P$G. Modric and KDB might be the closest ones but I don't think winning the WC gives the kind of boost some expect. If it did Iniesta and Neuer might have won one too. I guess Kane might end up in the picture if England do get far and he wins the golden boot but I don't expect him to finish better than top 5 if that happens.

Still thinking that we'll have one of the same winners that we've had for the last 10 years and with his form to start off 2018 along with the CL performance,thinking Ron's gotta be in the driver seat for no.6 heading into the last half of the year like @flyeed eloquently broke down

I'm certain England washes Sweden but maannnnnn if they lose

Pele to Monaco...



Seems Smokey Jack's finally found his level...



Smart man Wilf

The meltdown in the UK would be something

Hope it doesn't happen though since I actually like the players on this squad,don't really wanna see them getting abused back home
