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

[ronaldo nazario]

Brazil’s fullback list is a joke.

Bro, there has to be better options in Brazil on the street than Alex Sandro, Danilo, and Alves.

My boy wants Tite gone already.

There really aren't though and unless Brazil close out their group early I doubt Alves touches the pitch.

Na bro. There has to be a LB or RB in Brazil somewhere.

I’m not buying this.

Somewhere in Séria A or B they’re there.

 

[rolaholic]

They have young talent there but they're too unproven to be looked at seriously for WC selection at least in Tite's eyes seemingly.

Some of their best prospects or younger guys like Vanderson and Caio Henrique either don't have any caps for the senior squad

 

[Verde Shuttles]

My guess is Danilo on the left, Militao at RB or 3-4-3
Vini Richarlison & Pick your forward
Neymar, Bruno, Casemiro, Paqueta
Marquinos, Silva, Militao

 

[cs02132]

That Brazil call up is different
Especially as an attacking player

[Coupé It]

That’s what my boy said. They’re always focused on “old” Brazilians who play in Europe. When there is talent “at home”. It should be “a mix”.

So Vini about to play LWB? Yikes

Yea been sounding like Tite sees Militao as a RB so that he can field Silva and Marquinhos down the middle.

Dont think Paqueta's gonna be a starter. Fred has played much more for them than him under Tite but I think it'll be Casemiro - Guimares with Neymar at the 10

Bruh

Harry has NEVER LOOKED BETTER THAN HE DOES HERE

Argentina does the same thing if we’re being honest

It’s a tough balancing act because there are always young stars to choose from domestically but you don’t know how they’ll respond to the pressure of being against the world’s best. Especially if you’re asking them to defend the most elite attackers on the planet. How many prospects flop when they go to a European club? Huge risk to make that gamble at the world cup…

That’s why managers default to the proven veterans more often than not

 

[rolaholic]

Thing that sucks is that the young guys at those positions of need also play in Europe , just for less high profile clubs initially compared to the vets at big clubs who always get called up.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Sandro, Lodi, Danilo have all stalled, every country has an iffy position group

Even France's midfield will feature Rabiot and a lot of big tournament inexperience

 

[rolaholic]

Lodi played himself, he would've been called up if he was still at Atleti imo.

He's only 24 too

Benz will be in the house with his B'Dor trophy during the Lyon - Nice match on Friday

 

[Coupé It]

Flo heard €150 million and said….

“Dortmund son locos”

 

[rolaholic]

Sounds like they're in the race but I still expect a full court press by Flo next summer for him.

Marca and other RM adjacent papers have gone really big on him being their no.1 target next summer

 

[Coupé It]

Not for €150 they won’t.

 

[noskey]

150? PSG it is.

150? PSG it is.

Yea right.

Let the Englanders pay that absurd 99 percent tax.

Only 1 team in England can afford that and they probably will buy Jude just because they can. **** Newcastle man

 

[layziegunts]

Is there any Brazil player reaction video where they didn't make it? #firmino?

City and United could afford it tho. (United have to do some financial maneuvering). Liverpool who knows what happens.

Doubt Jude will want to play for Newcastle.

You're overanalyzing my joke Just a commentary on how City has competition in the spending dept now.
United cannot be allowed to pair Casemiro with Bellingham.

I would imagine it going something like this
