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

[LA Diggler]

Great 2nd half even better draw

 

[rolaholic]

City getting no easy draws in this competition , first Chelsea now Liverpool next



With Antony likely being rested for Tite and Sancho still injured, how he gets the start on Sunday. Been the most dangerous forward in the team since he started getting minutes a few weeks back.

Speaking of Argentines



Would be big after it looked like he'd miss out

 

[Coupé It]

there's some beef between santos and rafa. he announced his international retirement a month ago

Yea I know.

A SMART manager would figure out a way to squash it.

 

[Coupé It]

Are english fans really saying sancho is a flop?
Just feel like he really hasn't that much time yet to prove himself. I think the talent is obviously there. But hasn't found a way to break into the Man U squad yet.

Yea Sancho needs more time.

I say give him another 7 years like Jesse Lingard.

“Wahhhh don’t talk about Speed!!!! This is a Football thread!! Wahhhhh!!!”

While the rest of the football world is literally talking about Speed

 

[ajiiiplatinum]

this team looks nice

 

[fluid hips]

Watching law and order and they really did a fictional version of the cristiano rape allegation

"Luis Suarez | Free Agent"

 

[El Argentino]

Garnacho needs to be Slot No. 26 on the list for los albicelestes. Sub him on 3 times in garbage time and lock him down

 

[pums]

Can someone fill me in on the GK situation for the 3 lions?

 

[MetalMario]

Need that burnley amazon series now

 

[fluid hips]

Son gotta chill before he pops a vain in his head

 

[Coupé It]

"Luis Suarez | Free Agent"

I thought he played for Nacional. That confused me too.

Wonder who Uruguay start up top.

Very interesting team.

 

[El Argentino]

Suarez went to National on a 6month contract. Upon winning the league, contract ended. He’s currently w/o a club

 

[Bosa]

Fifa doc on netflix pretty wild.

 

[haicheo]

I don’t understand the tabloids bewilderement about Ramos being left off the WC squad. Buddy could have scored a goal a game and kept a clean sheet in every game and Luis Enrique would have still found a reason to leave him out.

[rolaholic]

Surprised Botman didn't make it, been really good for Newcastle

Surprised at no Thiago or Ramos tbh. Watch them not even play Nico Williams though, stopped him from playing for Ghana with his brother by capping him for the first time a few weeks back

Also thought Balde would make it

[rolaholic]

Yea that's wild, 100% would've made the squad at Ajax

 

[flyeed]

I think he’s still in disbelief of what happened against City. He made a similar comment when he was asked why it’s so hard to win the CL and he replied because Real Madrid are in it

 

[whtascene]

Eric Garcia got selected by Spain but not Ramos.

 

[tomdiginson]

Yea that's wild, 100% would've made the squad at Ajax

This is why it's not always good to rush to join big clubs as a youngster. They make you the scapegoat for the managers ineptitude and you will be the first on the chopping block. Jurgen is one of the few managers I see that allows his you g players to play and get a feel for the game.
