And Brazil are out!

Crazy. Jamaica doing the impossible

Oh seeing Sundhage is Brazil's coach. The perpetual World Cup underachiever has decided to achieve a new level of disappointment.

When I made my comments about Sturridge and man's try to discredit him is how I know many of these dudes just started watching football.

 

[romulus]

Sturridge was a vibe!

Japan straight 11-0 goal difference in group stages

MLS has to be grateful. If Sergio Ramos transfers to IM every team is gonna play La Liga All Stars at least twice a season.

A fresh reminder of what they can be when they grow up

 

[Verde Shuttles]

its wild to me milan paid 30 for pulisic. especially when they just bought chukweze
milan got robbed and really have a disjointed team

It was 20, what they should have done was get a legit midfielder

Not familiar with this kid at all. But going to Ajax is def a better look than West Ham. If things turn out well and he develops, 17mil might look like a major steal

Portuguese people don’t even know what he’s about. Which is such a rare occurrence. Most of our players stay at home and our academies until 16-18.

So we have at least some reference. But Carlos has been gone since he’s been 11. Like we have no idea.


So I’m on the sidelines thinking to myself “what has Man City been cooking up?”

When you start getting heads turned like Llorente from AM to Saudi, you know there's going to be long term problems.

When Ronaldo went, I thought it was a quaint money grab (it was). But this now appears to be a seismic shift in world club football's polarity. It almost feels like there is now going to be a vacuum in Europe to be filled by a lot more up-and-comers and youth products--which could be a either a very good thing or a very bad thing for the quality of football overall. There's way more of these "ballers but not quite elite world beaters" taking that Saudi ca$h than I could have ever anticipated. And as a fan, it seems a letdown where hIsToRy and cUlTuRe really don't mean anything at all.

I was thinking that down the line the Saudis are going to somehow get themselves into the Champions League.

And you can say “Why would a country in the Middle East be allowed in.”

They let The Israeli’s in. They’re not Europe.


So yes. Adding to your “seismic shift”point. I don’t even think they’re close to doing what they’ve set out to achieve.

[vtotheinay]

so excited for this kid to develop. he's really good at his age

Who got the Fantasy PL links? mastamind89 ?

I got my team but it didn’t transfer to da footy NT league

 

[Verde Shuttles]

That would be something

 

[rolaholic]

Yea they're building a decent squad, Fred might go there too.

Speaking of them



Goddamn

A front line of

Kolo-Muani - Ramos - Dembele
Neymar
​

Could have potential...

So Asensio would've moved just to be a back up again though

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Just set the Mbappe price and they can do it instead of playing games
