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

[jking0821]

The Gabby Jesus snippet's make sense. The coach is supposed to coach. If you don't like the way he coaches and he won't cater to your game then leave. I think that is fair on both sides

With not Italy and USMNT being garbage i am just going to root for storylines at the WC at this point. Would love to see Messi or Ronaldo get to the final. Would love another underdog story like Croatia in 2018. Would also not mind if a big team imploded. That would be entertaining to watch Germany or France bomb out early or something

Pulistic nor Ziyech will be able to fill Leao's shoes. They might as well sign both.

 

[Coupé It]

It’s just funny that they think Milan are this stupid.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Chelsea really wrapped up Nkunku?

 

[DripNick]

Mbappe needs to release this fool.

Expeditiously

 

[lovehateself]

Friend went to el salvador vs peru game in dc. He posted on story of them fighting in stands… with belts

i remember they made me check in my belt when i was in CDMX @ the Azteca

I think Boehly and his group are taking advantage of the good business relationship those clubs have lately

It's confirmed Milan and Juventus are trying to get Pulisic. I don't know why. WILD

Chelsea really wrapped up Nkunku?

Sheesh, what the heck is going on. I think his release clause isn't available until next summer

Cannot wait for Chelsea to hire a DoF and technical director. Too much leaks in the last five months

Expeditiously

Politics aside, Mbappe won't win anything without Neymar though. He needs him and Messi.

Yea, see….

This is bull****

 

[tomdiginson]

Mbappe has become too egotistical. We know his abilities and see that he is a brilliant footballer, but his ego has ballooned. He needs to concentrate on staying fit and not allowing his ego to overtake him on the pitch.

 

[Coupé It]

He is fit, he’s always fit.

It’s Neymar who has been the disappointment at PSG.

False. He has missed crucial matches in the champions league, picking up injuries. In the champions league final during the lockdown, it was Neymar who looked like the outnumbered lion still pressing forward against the better-coached Bayern. Mbappe showed that he was a magician and disappeared.

 

[jape]

He lacks humility.
He could be even better if he wanted to. having unlimited supply from Neymar and Messi who are more than willing to let him shine but he wants to be the only one shining.

If Neymar and Messi disregarded him like he does them he'd be crying on the sidelines.
He hasn't done enough to be acting like this towards two players who have a greater legacy than him.

nothing like a world cup stage to either humble someone or ballon the ego even more

They're trying everything to bring in RB front office people in, wouldn't be surprised if it was partly in view of getting access to their scouting/talent.

They weren't able to get Freund so they're reportedly trying to get Vivell who works under him

 

[jape]

Love Chelsea's ambition. It's the only way.

Mbappe was actually hurt then. They didn’t even think he’d play the final.

You’re comparing the professionalism of Mbappe to Neymar right now? During the last 4-5 years at PSG.

Neymar who would all of sudden get “hurt” in February just so he can go to Carnivale in Brazil.

France is flushed with talent, so that alone has helped them overcome the inept management by Deschamps. However, the injuries have battered them down this year. Depending on the final roster for the WC, they may either get embarrassed or get their head right just in time.

 

[rolaholic]

Damn, they have the depth but he was looking to be a good backup DM option

 

[jape]

the only team stopping France is France.
Talent wise it's not even close.

 

[Coupé It]

Mbappe took control because while Neymar had it at PSG…

Neymar was…

1) Terrible role model

2) A terrible professional.

Everyone knows that PSG is a soap opera. Players getting personal jets, random time off etc. Mbappe has been out and about when injured too, but he's a Frenchman playing for PSG and they want to keep him happy. Do you think his business will easily get leaked?

He was taking over regardless. He's the top Frenchman footballer playing for Frances's top team. It doesn't matter if Neymar was beloved by the fans and feeding the homeless and screaming remember Joan of Arc. Mbappe was getting the keys to PSG regardless.
