OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[Sinner]

United probably should get a sports psychologist to speak to the players they look like they have PTSD from the nightmare performances from last season.

 

[whtascene]

Fair play to DDG owning up to his mistakes and facing them, can't say the same for the captain.

 

[ajiiiplatinum]

Tell that to those Brazilians

Two Brazilians congratulating and hyping up their compatriot who until this year had done nothing for RM or Brazil.
Carlos and Neymar #ClassAct


But if we want to post random musings from teammates:

INSIDER: Real Madrid teammates believe Vinicius Jr overrated in press

The real reason why Casemiro says Vinicius Jr. isn’t a top 3 player in the world

Casemiro doesn't think Vinicius Jr. is one of the best three players in the world, but most of the Real Madrid fans do. Why did he say this?

therealchamps.com

I wonder what Richarlison would say about Vinni being a world’s best after this.

 

[heggsy]

God we were ****.

Arsenal were levels above. Could've and should've had 7-8

**** Rodgers. Had enough of the little dwarf.
Been watching this same awful football for 18 months now. Out.

Won't say anything on united that's not already been said. Joke Club.

That “fight” was staged literally posting fake quotes. And that first excerpt was from Jan ‘21 before Vini broke out and I don’t care to look into if it’s real or not. How much digging did you have to do to come up with this trash. In 2022 after Vini’s performances talking about if he’ll “become” world class.

We’re done here mister Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar just need to have fun this season.

Awoniyi is giving west ham problems

 

[nomadicsole21]

Vini nice but let's see if he can even have half the season he had last season (I'm sure he will) and play like that consistently.

20/20 goals/assists is deserving of a Ballon d'or nomination IMO but KDB is just as deserving as well even tho we didn't win the UCL which he's getting a lot of slack for from people.

I agree with ajiiiplatinum with the d riding by former Brazilians legends tho...they've been quick to crown who got next anytime a player has a breakout season for the last decade or two. It's kinda over the top.

Penaltygate 2.0

Happened between Cavani and Neymar a few years ago

These awards aren’t about who’s the best or who could continue playing at a high level though, it’s about who had the best season. In the end anyone after Benz is just recognition, I was just stating my opinion which is definitely a valid one and you recognize it. Whereas the other cat is stuck in 2020 regarding Vini and laughing/posting fake quotes.

I agree about the overhyping compatriots, there’s definitely an element of gassing up the Vini train going into the World Cup, but there’s a reason that it’s Vini being gassed. He’s shown he can decide big matches.

 

[Armada]

Glad Awoniyi got that goal he’s played a good half

 

[sonoftony]

J-Lingz with the assist tho

 

[rolaholic]

Among the tweets – in Portuguese – liked by the Brazilian, one claimed that: “Now it’s official, Mbappé is the one who takes penalties at PSG. Clearly it’s a contract thing, because in no club in the world would Neymar be the second taker. It seems that because of his contract, Mbappé is the owner of PSG!”

That mega contract already causing problems

Wonder how it's gonna play out if Neymars form continues, been their best player this season so far

 

[sonoftony]

VAR calling that back.

edit: and they did

 

[LA Diggler]

Has to be offside

 

[sonoftony]

Ufff whatta save Fabianski

 

[sonoftony]

Wowwww that post denied Benrahma's FK

 

[LA Diggler]

Red?

 

[Armada]

Westham unlucky to not have equalized by now

 

[sonoftony]

That's a handball, why even look over it

 

[Armada]

Gotta be frustrating cause Henderson was gonna save that anyway

 

[LA Diggler]

at that being a yellow
