    “Brazil could win the World Cup with their B team” was a common take 12 months ago.

    Can’t do anything but laugh about the Tonali news. If it ends up being true, what a heist honestly!

    Don’t get me wrong Cruyff did brilliant things for Barcelona, even if he only won 1 La Liga title, but it rubs me the wrong way when people say it is one of greatest teams of all time, when it wasn’t even best during its era - Milan under Sacchi and Capello was.

    The same goes for most points which actually matters much more.

    Why does it matter more when both teams won the league

    Encouraging performance, but fucks sake man that’s a game we should be winning. Lorenzo set us up well but not great in game management. We needed to slow that down after people started gassing and we already had a lead

    I’m not bitter or anything but the way goalkeepers are protected is a joke. They get away with so much and get fouls called in their favour for absolutely everything.

    Eh, “presumably from” is doing a lot of heavy lifting the

    Did remind me of a spectacular dumb post I saw in a different sub celebrating the Spanish WWC win over England because the (very American) poster didn’t want to see a nation of colonisers win 😂🤷‍♂️

    I think I will die if Boca signs Messi even for a short loan. Probably bs but I don’t think my mind would comprehend it and I would just get a stroke.

    Sancet could half pass as a proper name in Basque or some other regional dialect of Spain, but Oihan?? That’s a high elf carpenter or something

    Lionel Messi is still the main man for Argentina

    Marcelo Morelo Martins is still the main man for Bolivia

    Alexis Sanchez and Arturo Vidal are still the main men for Chile

    James Rodriguez is still the main man for Colombia

    Enner Valencia is still the main man for Ecuador

    Paolo Guerrero still a vital figure for Peru

    Salomon Rondon still a vital figure for Venezuela

    When will CONMEBOL finally move on man? It is the year of our lord 2023

    The future generations are in trouble

    For those who think Bellingham is overrated, what exactly are his weaknesses? The only glaring one that I can think of is he’s not really a controller like a Kroos or Xavi, but that’s probably due to the position that Ancelotti is playing him this season. If Madrid sign a world-class striker next season, and Bellingham goes back to his usual midfield position, we’ll probably see him focus more on controlling the game. Maybe you can argue his technique/eye test is overrated, but technique doesn’t really matter if you’re producing results on the pitch
