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

[cs02132]

Salah is too good still to go to Saudi. Liverpool just need to pay up for 2-3 more years then he can bounce. They’re nuts if they let him leave for free

Agreed. Liverpool should extend him. I understand the reluctance to pay a striker that is over 30, but he’s still producing and worst case we’re bound to get a huge transfer fee from his Saudi suitors.

Dissension...

Lot of smoke that the French contingent have turned against him

World soccer shop, subside, soccer pro and soccer dot com all have their respective Black Friday and cyber Monday sales going on right now.

Of course, going to the manufacturers site such as Adidas or Nike are available as well with their sales

Barcola for Rashford swap sounds fair

I know it’s the unpopular take on here, but City’s form since Rodri went down really does show why he won BdO

This is the typical Luis Enrique experience. Confrontational, ego maniac who’s living off of one good season at Barca.

I thought Kimpembe retired years ago

Is that the unpopular take though? There's some disagreement on who should've won Ballon d'Or but I think it's pretty unanimously accepted that Rodri hard carries that team and is at bare minimum worthy of being a top 3 contender.
Literally every time he's out, the performances drop massively from their normal standard. The extremely dominant winning streaks come to a sudden end.
Losing De Bruyne for a fairly long time wasn't even much of a big deal and the team continued playing well without him. Obviously missing a big contribution in creativity but the system did its job and they continued winning for the most part.


Very heavy exaggeration here but take Rodri out and suddenly you'd think the whole starting 11 was swapped out for some sunday league bums. It's never been this bad though.

Now they're on a losing streak having to watch Spurs batter them 4-0 and sing 'sacked in the morning.'
We didn't even have Romero or Micky VdV so it's not like we weren't also missing key players.

What the hell am I looking at
Abercrombie & Fitch? The store back in my highschool days where you couldn't walk in without overdosing on cologne?

What happened? How did we get to a Spurs shirt of all things?

Edit: Just looked and it's only €35? That's pretty cheap if it's somewhat decent. I could've sworn A&F used to be obscenely expensive for garbage fast fashion back in the day. Like Hollister.

Edit 2: Just copped and this brand isn't even recognizable from back in the day anymore. The obnoxious logos are mostly gone, the extremely preppy style, ...
Actually quite amazing how they turned this brand around and now its stock is soaring.


Also there's an option for Barca and Man City as well but they're super obnoxious for some reason while the Spurs t shirt is pretty tame

A&F switched up they whole bag. Went from suburban surfer wear to vintage craze /streetwear but really kinda menswear/urban outfitters alternative.
