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

[tomdiginson]

They definitely thought he was the missing piece when they signed him coming off the 3peat but yea they were a flawed team already. They crashed out surprisingly early though a few times though with him and the decline happened with him in the team.

Individually he wasn't anywhere near a failure but they didn't end up getting what they hoped to achieve with him. They pretty much stayed at the level they had been for years before falling off

It was still a success. Especially with that Juventus roster. If he didn't join, their decline would have occurred much quicker.

onana’s distribution is sick, I hate how good he’s gonna be for United

I thought Chelsea would've made a bid for Onana but I guess they are really secure with Kepa. To his credit, Kepa has improved but those trademark lapses show themselves at the worst time.

Shoulda been a scout. Got that vision

Ya boy turned into prime Ronaldinho today in my Sunday league. Completed every dribble. Won every duel. Never lost the ball. Had some filthy assists but dudes were playing scared and afraid to shoot

I don’t understand Chelsea signing Disasi, we have too many center backs as is. Is there really room for Silva, Chalobah, Colwill, Badiashile, Diasi and Fofana when he comes back? Guess it means the writing is on the wall for Chalobah at Chelsea


We also have too many left backs, and not enough midfielders or strikers….

Chalobah gets sold
Fofana out for 23-24
Silva leaves in summer 24

Makes sense

Japan up 2-0 on Spain in the 29th minute

 

[dragicon]

Japan is shredding these Spanish ladies on their finishes.

Spain in the mud

 

[fluid hips]

Japan really is at the top of the Asian totem pole if we're being honest

Madrid already gave away the #7 jersey. For that reason, I don't see him going to Madrid.

These new generation players are more focused on branding and marketing

Japanese ladies did even better than the men against Spain, smacked them 4-0

Lowkey been the most impressive squad so far.

The women's WC has been awesome results/moments wise so far, Zambia ended their tourney with their first win ever too

There's all to play for in the next round of matches too.

Olympic champs Canada vs host Australia with their best player Sam Kerr coming back and group leading Nigeria vs Ireland. 2 spots still up for grabs for the first 3 teams mentioned.

Yuck, heavy 3rd kit vibes.

Probably the first time I've seen home and away kits be the same color , albeit different shades but still

Can be like his idol for the first season

Could also probably get the 10 after Modric leaves if Vini wants to keep 7. Vini should've been 11 for me

Makes sense, been a fruitful partnership for both. Word is there's gonna be a new shirt sponsor next year too

Everything is always so dramatic when P$G is involved

FIFA is too funny man

This got called back from an offside to allow a goal...

They didn't show any VAR replay or other angles either like they always do...

'02 SK vibes
