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

[Bantz Lord T]

It's Pulisic cause he looks ready for Leeds, Southampton type situation, Sancho got time.

Pulisic is only 24, he's also got time

 

[Belgium]

Back to the point tho…..

Who’s the bigger bust?

Sancho or Pulisic?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Pulisic, that’s not even a debate. Sancho has at least shown what he can do at Dortmund, and that’s way better than what Pulisic has shown anywhere.

 

[Coupé It]

Sancho has 48 games to score 15 goals and catch Pulisic. Basically an average of 1 goal every 3 games.

So I’LL WAIT…

Answer - TBD

 

[アミーゴ]

Fellas fellas...keep the fighting in the World Cup thread

That's what it's there for

Bro I didn’t even STEP FOOT in there

Thanks for making it

The way I see it, Pulisic is sort of an American invention. Folks here expect great things from him, but I don't sense that he has those expectations overseas.

Sancho, on the other hand, was gassed up by the British media machine so he is a true bust in every sense of the word.

Too soon to judge

Sancho fails to live up to his hype here in the PL. It isn't over for him

For Pulisic, Chelsea bought him for 57 mill pound. A bit overspent

Pulisic is up and down plus three manager changes weren't helpful either

Giroud and Pulisic were the huge keys for the club during the pandemic period. Secured a spot in top 4 in the summer time that led us to win the CL next year
He did his thing to help the club during the 2021 CL run. His goal against RM in the semifinal was huge for us

It generally works where you enter for a specific country and you get extra points if you have ties to them/are a citizen.

For instance my boy went to Brazil and S Africa with Algeria since he was born there. He then went to every match and then followed whomever knocked them out all the way to the final.

I’m sure US will be hard to get tickets to via lottery - may be better off doing the above

Yup!
My buddy that entered the lottery for our tickets chose the first 4 Germany matches. We’re all Mexican and I didn’t even ask why he chose Germany but he got them. He did buy an extra ticket for a Mexico game tho

Man, Pulisic did more in this World Cup than your dusty a** country .

Price tags alone should shift the answer to Sancho.

I don't think anyone expected Pulisic to be a world beater.

He cost 15m more than him when he was much more productive at the same club and 2 years younger

Such a valid point.

Pulisic came up big during that run.

Then he won the CL.

This swayed me.

And yet hasn't produced at all in the present day.

Meanwhile Pulisic was a solid rotational winger on a team that made it to the Champions League final, won it and played quality ball during the restart.

Sancho was expected to be a high level player. Pulisic was thought of being a marketing decision.

The answer is Sancho at the moment.

 

[Coupé It]

Yup you guys swayed me.

Pulisic > Sancho

Easy.

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Makes no sense but ok

It’s been pretty tame in there for the most part. There have been a few discussions that have gone off topic and got a little spicy but nothing crazy.

 

[noskey]

Makes no sense but ok

I mean we need a midfielder but this choice of target is weird. Especially for the price.


But if we get Felix, Mudryk and SMS this January? We'll win the ******* league

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Sancho by far. Plastic is good when he's not injured. Sancho is fit and doing foolishness. Plastic also showed he can ball in multiple leagues. Sancho has yet to show that's he's ready for the prem consistently.

 

[flyeed]

So you’re telling me all it took for Brits to act civilized was to adopt some of another culture as opposed to imposing theirs elsewhere

 

[Coupé It]

Sounds like it will be damn near impossible to get tickets if you register as an American, Mexican, or Canadian.

Sounds great to me.

 

[アミーゴ]

Sounds great to me.

Us***

Is that autocorrect or are you really calling Pulisic “Plastic”?

I've been hyper critical of Pulisic at times in the last 2 years but he really did have a good tournament.

Pulisic, that’s not even a debate. Sancho has at least shown what he can do at Dortmund, and that’s way better than what Pulisic has shown anywhere.

The way I see it, Pulisic is sort of an American invention. Folks here expect great things from him, but I don't sense that he has those expectations overseas.

Be honest, how much of either player did yall really watch at Dortmund?



Pulisic was one of the most exciting players in the entire Bundesliga for two full seasons at 17 and 18yo. No American invention.






As good as Pulisic was, Sancho came in and looked even more talented at times, and had ridiculous production.

In hindsight I do think their roles in multiple different Dortmund systems under different coaches were almost tailor made for them to produce and to excel as teenagers, but there was no gas, it wasn't invented or curated, it wasn't nationalistic hype. Both showed top talent at that age and any teenager who does the same things in a top 5 league tomorrow is getting the same optimistic outlook on their future potential.

Autocorrect. Once I realized after the first time, I chuckled and left it.
