daily-question

[sharp cedar]

Surely would be interesting

[ocean fog]

It depends on the league, the players and the product fans are getting. Personally for EPL, hell no but idc if there is an all star game in some other league, if its watchable and players actually care about it, I am all in

also almost every football league isnt a closed league like we have in major US leagues so idk how would they impliment it honestly

[regal juniper]

a 35 and older vs u21 would be fun

[fallow rampart]

No way

[wispy onyx]

I think it'd be exciting

But weird 😭

Chemistry wouldn't be there so may not be that good

[heady ermine]

Ofc bruh then we can see who's the real star in Them

[hollow sapphire]

Weird but could be interesting. Wondeer how an Indian Super League Team would fare against the UCL TOTS

Question 72

Pafos, a club from Cyprus, and Kairat, a club from Kazakhstan, have qualified for the UEFA Champions League this season. How do you feel about such underdog clubs fighting against all odds and qualifying for the biggest club competition in the world?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[proud frost]

uhh

idk

[barren spade]

happy for smaller teams to pull of such performances👏🏻

[edgy jasper]

I like guys

[raw nimbus]

Both beautiful stories

[cunning hamlet]

Safe to say the 9-2 record has a real chance of getting broken this season!

[devout latch]

It's an amazing thing to see them do well but im sure they won't qualify even for the knock outs

[pliant knot]

Happy for pafos I've been there fantastic place

[light mantle]

Really nice to see smaller teams to qualify

[near cosmos]

THIS IS MY TEAM

PAFOS

[fair tangle]

isnt kazakhstan bordering russia and near china, how on earth are they in europe

[gaunt prawn]

i hope pafos gets drawn with arsenal, david luiz starts against arsenal, and then loses like 10-0 because he realized how shit he is at defending and gets 2019-2021 arsenal lockdown PTSD

[fair tangle]

but i love to see it

[near cosmos]

take this back

[gaunt prawn]

i think its time you took geography classes

[deep field]

they would beat chelsea and arsenal

[fair tangle]

but look where they are

they border china dude

[peak beacon]

bomboclat

[gaunt prawn]

theyre a euroasian country likes russia and turkey

[fair tangle]

then why doesnt russia play?

[near cosmos]

Cuz of the war

[gaunt prawn]

theyr banned

[fair tangle]

holy i forgot they had an invasion going on

[jovial pagoda]

It’s something nice you know
This format really shows that small teams can qualify
And Pafos can deliver a bigger upset
So yeah it’s something nice

[gaunt prawn]

but yeah usually russia plays in european qualifiers

[ocean fog]

good for them

[bright umbra]

They're going to be absolutely battered in the group stage but fair play for them making it this far

[thick sparrow]

It's like meh

[astral kettle]

Really good

[viscid grail]

Big W very unexpected and very deserved

Kairat feels like a fever dream

[tawdry shadow]

We're happy for Pafos 🔥

For Kairat Nobody Cares

😂

[wraith fossil]

Both teams showed that everything is possible in football

[misty rapids]

Happy for them, well deserved and even if they don't make it out of the group they'll get to enjoy UCL money for the very first time

[tiny isle]

they got potential honestly, they might do great in the UCLS

[wispy onyx]

Great, but they won't get far

[dapper perch]

no comments!

[hoary raptor]

You know, European competition qualifiers is always unpredictable. Especially for Kairat, can't wait to see the longest away day in UCL history

I think there's a slight chance that Kairat will finish 24th

But who knows?

[spring drift]

I feel great, finally more diversity

[dry plinth]

Pure magic

Gg for them

We can finally have some unknown small clubs coming again

Bodo also qualify himself

[shut nest]

That's excellent news
New teams for the cl are always welcome

[harsh gust]

Watch psg getting them both in group stages 💀

[solid mesa]

Now I see why Joa Pedro wanted to join a UCL team

[solid mesa]

But my beloved Sherrif Tiraspol didn't so no one cares about some random team
You see if you wanted to get big reactions they should have gave Sherrif Tiraspol a smaller team like one these guys
But of course these corrupted people give us a team that shouldn't even be in the UCL phase draw

[tight obsidian]

its incredible because they're giving us fm saves

[odd citrus]

i am fucking fuming.

it is the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE not the tiny clubs no one knows league

they’ve got no place there

hope they all get record breaking batterings and go back to irrelevancy

[fallow rampart]

I love it every club deserves to make history

[fallow rampart]

I hope this is satire

[odd citrus]

would you want afghanistan stinking up the world cup

didn’t think so

same applies here

these small clubs taking up space that could be used for actual good teams

[jovial pagoda]

Qarabag now joined the club
It’s very nice tbh, seeing small teams having chances as I said
And Uefas new format helps

[solid mesa]

Tbh the other guys are quite right
Most of us who aren't from these countries are gonna forget them the same match they get knocked out tbh

[hollow sapphire]

We all like underdogs, lets just keep Gillingham away from Europe

[wild bear]

Low-key curious to see how well they'll perform in europe's biggest stage, wishing them the best of luck but if they come up against Madrid, no mercy. 🤝

[tame zodiac]

played against a celtic who passes backwards every second of the game - good win for them but i dont expect them to go through at all

[quasi flare]

Question 73

How did you feel about the league-stage format of the Champions League last year? Has it made the competition better or worse compared to the traditional group stage?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[proud frost]

more games more fun

-# not for the players

[wraith fossil]

Better 8 games from 8 different teams than 6 games from 3 different teams. It makes it more fun

[proud frost]

how many pings do u get a day

[raw nimbus]

Initially i hated the new format
But its fine after experiencing it last year

[hoary raptor]

It actually made the tournament more entertaining ngl

[misty rapids]

More games at the cost of players having less time to recover, but the format itself is very fun and much more chaotic than before, the play-offs toss-up was also a great added concept

[deep field]

more fun
but i liked the old one

[ocean fog]

i prefer it more because it makes the race to secure a top 8 place more fun

[fallow rampart]

It's very confusing but clearly it does work

[hoary raptor]

But I guess the old group stage is still okay

[wild bear]

Instead of 6 games we get 8, we get interesting round of 32 playoffs, so it makes it better

[hoary raptor]

I really miss the days where you can actually get relegated to the Europa League if you finish 3rd in the group

[devout latch]

I feel like making like a league table system is good because every goal matters and every win matters since before if you won 3 or 4 games you can lose or draw the rest which made it boring

[jovial pagoda]

It has made it better and more unpredictable

[proven prism]

better for the ‘qualifiers’ teams, since the new format we had 5 debutants

[ornate aurora]

That’s better in my opinion

[hollow remnant]

better but the only thing that should be changed is the round of 32 draw

[wind briar]

this new league-stage is such a cool idea I hope it stays

[hollow remnant]

teams ranked from 9th to 16th should be in the same pot and those from 17th to 24th in another

[peak beacon]

go back to the old format the players are tired as hell

[wind briar]

makes it fun to watch the table update over time

[wind briar]

yh this

[hollow remnant]

and teams from the same country can't play eachother

[thick sparrow]

More games but players will get tired

[tiny isle]

more competitiveness honestly

[tight obsidian]

Its ok but I prefer the groups

[solar hatch]

A lot better and a lot more fun too

[dry plinth]

I clearly prefer 8 games rather than the group stage that had only 6

[solid mesa]

Idk my team was in the Conference League so I didn't really pay attention

[cunning hamlet]

I still prefer the group stages

[unreal yoke]

whoever says group stages is a nostalgia merchant

[rare bluff]

i still prefer groups

not cuz nostalgia

[heady ermine]

Same

[vale flicker]

the top four of the league phase should get some advantage imo

like they should benefit from finishing there
liverpool finished first but they had to place psg in their first ro16

[rocky blaze]

I find this format very confusing but yes it's better and more competitive than the previous format.

[shut nest]

Imo
It's pretty good
Better than the classical group stage you can find in the wc
It's unique and makes even more big matches
I'd say they should not change it anymore and stick to this one

[worthy glen]

Only the qualifying round should be changed otherwise the new format makes it more entertaining

[ivory solar]

better

[tawdry merlin]

its tbh better than prev

[outer swift]

More games more time for me to be a lazy prick

[fallen ravine]

Great for us, bad for players, especially those who held records previously in the ucl that won’t hold them anymore since this format has more games

[quasi flare]

Question 80

What old stadium that no longer exists do you miss the most?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[ocean fog]

technically still exists but the old bernabeu

[proud frost]

i dunno

[frosty coral]

aura of old camp nou is unmatched

but the renovation was necessary for safety reasons

[ivory solar]

the Containers stadium of 2022 Qatar worldcup

[steady olive]

Meaning? I assumed that they wanted to add additional VIP seats and also some lower cost seating

I did not know that safety was one of the causes or THE cause for renovation of Camp Nou

[frosty coral]

The full renovated version will have a roof

a cover in case it rains during matches

[gray stratus]

Old Benfica stadium (+120.000/record 135.000)

[velvet light]

Ok it’s from the 90s before I was born, but Love street -St Mirren, away days were pretty good apparently

Question 81

Now that the transfer window is closed, what do you think is the weakest spot in your favourite team, and how should the team’s coach fix it?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[daring snow]

Right Back

[dry plinth]

I think I did not had any

[daring snow]

Sign Livramento for 140M £

[jovial pagoda]

Here, for me, there are no weaknesses for our level

[gaunt prawn]

we honestly dont need anything

[haughty star]

Barcelona defense, striker

[gaunt prawn]

we're good

[frosty coral]

Defense is problematic

[hollow remnant]

Right back

[frosty coral]

For Barça

[hollow remnant]

It isn't bad it's just not as good as the other spots in the team

[velvet light]

Striker or left back

[odd ridge]

midfield

[gray stratus]

Benfica - Midfield -> Barreiro

[peak beacon]

rw

[dawn hazel]

right back pls cant see nunes and lewis every week😭

[tight obsidian]

you know damn well the man in the picture wasnt the weakness in this side

midfield

[pale raptor]

Wirtz is ass

[final oracle]

Melbourne victory, we don't have a good striker (although our transfer window is still open)

[pale raptor]

Let’s replace him

I want Roger’s

[simple marten]

Centreback or leftback, we got Kerkez i think a bit too agressive in some situations on LB but after adapting shld be just fine, also Konate didn't started very well but if Slott gonna play Leoni more often i think it should be perfect

[wraith fossil]

Tbf it used to be our defence but we signed some good defenders for my team level so in the future I will see the weakness of my club

[craggy falcon]

LW and get a touchline winger and play false 9

or get a big name pure 9 and keep Raphinha on inside forward role and Balde in game winger

get a back up lb cuz balde is made of glass

[jovial crest]

Midfield

[solid trout]

Bho

[dapper zenith]

CB, guehi's signing would've made it secure

[ivory solar]

Barca

cb
regularly play christensen, cubarsi, and eric garcia and hope for any injury to not happen, and wait for winter transfer marker to open

[hardy igloo]

I think no weak spot cus barcelona

[karmic kernel]

For Arsenal not really worried about much. For Red Bulls… a new RB or solid CB would have been nice….

[gaunt marlin]

cb and Allegri should utilize Odogu and De Winter

[viscid grail]

Centre forward, this club could do wonders if someone was capable of scoring up front.

All the defenders have scored before the strikers so far this season. 😭

[vague saddle]

Lcb position, really sucks how Juve didn't get another good defender

[wild bear]

Our attack doesn't really look that good, sure we have vini and an out of position mbappe but no one stable on the right wing

[hoary raptor]

Our defense (except for the fullbacks)

[merry lance]

Cb

[mortal halo]

Our Defense,anything is better than nothing(Kelly)

[sharp wren]

Cb(Tah) and cm (Goretzka)
Would’ve get guehi

[shut nest]

CB for milan
Overrall defense is pretty ahh and especially center back who are not defending properly no pressing just nothing
Allegri should've signed more cbs and needs to play with 4 defenders
Not his 3-5-2 bullshit

[outer swift]

Striker gyokeres is not it so far

[astral kettle]

Defense

[ocean fog]

Tbh our defense just needs to be better on set pieces

[misty rapids]

CB, unless Ordonez decides to play once more we've def got a void in the defense that Spileers unfortunately can't fully fill, plus we could use the extra defensive depth

[solid mesa]

CB Chelsea
Or a new GK

[unreal wing]

right back lol how the hell do we trust trent at RB when all he is the onana of world RBs

[dusty current]

PSG: GK or strikers/wingers

[brisk aurora]

Would be Cdm but Amrabat joined so now its right back

[junior blaze]

Right back
Js sign someone young and good like Livramento

[primal pine]

I’m still not 100% on Robert Sanchez but I’d have to say goalkeeper

[sick mauve]

For a man united a new keeper and club America a striker or attacker and Real Madrid a new midfielder

[languid needle]

GK FOR PSG ???

Opinion rejected

[dusty current]

We lost donnaruma brother

So yes ima say GK

[still python]

dlp

[languid needle]

Chevalier team of the season in Ligue 1 saved 2 pens last week

much better

[dusty current]

I feel like he needs to prove himself before I can say he’s better

At least in my opinion

[languid needle]

He has already proven himself in the last 2 seasons

[gray island]

midfield as of now but goalkeeping is one aswell untill we watch lammens or bayindir play consistantly well set pieces and stuff

[cunning hamlet]

cam

BUY NOT SELLING 10 MIDFIELDERS MAYBE?!

[rare bluff]

the window in RPL isnt closed yet. and we need a striker

[azure hound]

Lw, BUY A LW

[gaunt marlin]

60% of Scudetto winners in the last 15 years have won playing a 3-5-2

[true otter]

Matty Cash playing right back.

Fix it by playing one of the other 3 players that can play right back there.

[fallow rampart]

center back bc we have no depth due to yeray awaiting punishment and egiluz being out... and if it wasnt for stingy al nassr that couldve been fixed by now

[shut nest]

Well the difference between old scudetto winners is that they actually had the players to use a 3-5-2 formation
And not milan. Especially since this one has nothing of milan no creativity no identity it's nothing close to milan's style of play and allegri should do another formation

A 4-2-3-1 is the best Formation for milan imo

[gaunt marlin]

we’d probably be more creative in a 4-2-3-1 but i’d be worried about our defense

a 3-5-2 is way more solid defensively

and defensive solidity should be our priority after these past couple of seasons

then when you have players like Leao and Pulisic in attack you will be creative

one thing that Allegri does is leave his players to express themselves on the pitch

[hidden hamlet]

LW by far, and even then we still have one of the best in league one

[ivory wigeon]

I think we did fine enough

[hollow sapphire]

For me (Real Madrid), its nothing prolly. I am happy with the team we have

[heady ermine]

Question 82

Do you enjoy the international breaks during the club season, or do you feel they disrupt the flow of football too much? If not, what would be your ideal solution?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[rare bluff]

enjoy

[frosty thunder]

[meager trout]

can't just invite all 193 countries to every world cup can they

[velvet light]

I’m Scottish

[gaunt prawn]

people who say international breaks are useless are just actually stupid

[dark wyvern]

i dont enjoy it all, but it is important for the major international competitions.

[gaunt prawn]

why does it fucking matter

[velvet light]

Do I need to say anything?

[gaunt prawn]

football is football

[gray stratus]

I prefer it to be in a school brake

instead of just random days

[dusty current]

Enjoyed heavily

[hoary raptor]

International breaks are actually.... kinda good

[heady bear]

depends entirely on what fixtures are being played, i get why a lot of people don't like them but realistically there's no feasible alternative to them

the "just play all the qualifiers in one window" thing people suggest is insane

[hushed dagger]

theyre really good

[raw nimbus]

I like them personally + they are really important for international competitions to have a fair list of participants as well

[languid needle]

Interesting but not 3 weeks after club season started 💀

Shouldve waited a bit longer

[hushed dagger]

its like this virtually every season

its always early mid september

then sometime in november

then a bit in march

[astral kettle]

I hate them

[stray oracle]

i hate them
i know its unavoidable and necessary but i dont like it

maybe keep it at a different time not right after the season starts

[languid needle]

Yeah but its bad

[frosty coral]

Wtf kind of suggestion is that 😭

[heady bear]

people are idiots

[flint smelt]

yes

[junior blaze]

I enjoy it

[karmic kernel]

Yeah I think they break the flow of a season but at the same time how are international matches going to be played if we can’t shove them in the schedule.

In reality it almost just mainly screws the bigger teams because their stars are getting called up and potentially injured. Not so much for smaller teams so I guess it’s a universal balance since most the time someone gets hurt

[dapper zenith]

enjoying it with a Malaysian W 2 days ago

[gray island]

no absolutely hate is feels like there at too many
england fc are kinda shit asw 2 managers and they stillplay boring football with good players

[solid mesa]

I'm stuck in both sides

[cunning hamlet]

pause

[solid mesa]

I meant to say both sides are good

[gaunt marlin]

sure i love seeing Albania and Kosovo play

my national teams

[thick sparrow]

Not much

[solemn swift]

enjoy it but it could de motivate players

[ivory solar]

I don't like it, it stops the normal ongoing football season and kills all the excitement and thrill.

My ideal solution is to make a mid season break in club football in January (when the winter transfer market is open,) and organize all international qualifiers and friendlies during that break.

it will also be ideal for non-European players who have to travel a lot for a 1-2 week international break every month

[dry plinth]

It's good honestly we need a break

11 insane months so all good to have a week break

[solemn summit]

Idk what to say
Sunt neutru

[lyric wedge]

loved them back when we didnt qualify

[heady ermine]

I enjoy it as long as i can watch messi play

Question 83

Would you rather your team play beautiful football and win fewer trophies, or play boring football and win more?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[gray tapir]

Yes

[frosty thunder]

Play beautiful football

[trail narwhal]

First option.

[frosty thunder]

For the first time in 30 years. And we didn't play beautiful football

[hollow remnant]

In recent years we did both and didn't win anything both times

[dawn obsidian]

Win trophies

[primal walrus]

give me trophies

raaaa

[hollow remnant]

So win trophies I'm tired of winning nothing every year

[gray stratus]

Play beautiful football and win fewer trophies

I am no glory hunter

[misty rapids]

I'd rather enjoy watching my team play week in week out and win a trophy here and there rather than just waiting for the trophies to arrive and find no actual joy in watching them

[primal walrus]

@gray tapir city neither winning trophies or playing beautiful football lmao

[obtuse wharf]

Under Inzaghi, we played some beautiful football.
But that won't be remembered as much as the lack of trophies will be.
History most of the time remembers success.

[wind briar]

beautiful football

[hollow remnant]

Teams that are used to win trophies will say more beautiful football, the others will say the trophies

[gray stratus]

[gray tapir]

yes as of now in 2017-18 we did both so that's what we need to start doing again 😭

[tropic sluice]

I mean idk gateshead play boring football already so im used to it being boring but beautiful football would be good but atm we need trophies for money and fans

[gray stratus]

Play beautiful football ofc
As a Citizen I crave for this we've won everything already let us be entertained
Pep's boring total football ahh

[spare apex]

[hollow remnant]

Good football is a bonus

[gray stratus]

But the rest of the trophies we are not winning too that easy

[hollow remnant]

Yeah but you still won things

While we didn't

[gray stratus]

Ok ok but I still would prefer beautiful football if I was from a portuguese club with no championships

[hollow remnant]

I have never seen my team win a trophy

[gray stratus]

What is your club?

[hollow remnant]

Olympique de Marseille

[gray stratus]

Oh never mind

[gray stratus]

But it is still a very good club

[hollow remnant]

Yes but we can't win shit

[gray stratus]

PSG is too strong

[shut nest]

Win few trophies and play beautiful football of course
It's all about the entertainment of watching, titles come along the way

[raw nimbus]

Beautiful answer

my team already plays beautiful football and wins trophies

[sour brook]

can you rlly win trophies without playing beautiful football?

[hollow remnant]

We won 2 world cups like this

Playing beautiful football is better

[hollow remnant]

Greece won the euros by parking the bus

[ivory solar]

Real Madrid 2022 UCL

won by that

2018 too

i'd rather boring football

[sour brook]

not sure whether international football is the best benchmark

[wild bear]

They should just play them at the end of the season but if they have a pre season series of some sort they could play it mid season but it just sucks having to wait for club football to be back

[flint smelt]

Boring football and win more 100%

[peak beacon]

we already play boring football and win f so play beautiful football and win more

[still python]

trophies

[ocean fog]

Beautiful football is that seriously a question

[tight obsidian]

more trophies

[narrow rain]

dependson how much fewer is, if its like a champions league or two and 2-3 premier leagues a decade or so, beautiful footbal

[languid needle]

Trophies i swear let us win a WC 😭

We played prime ball in 2018 and got kicked by France tha was awful

[thick sparrow]

Boring

[languid needle]

we can play whatever prime football we want we're still fighting for 2nd every year

we have more chance to win UEL than a domestic trophy at this point

[solemn swift]

play boring football

[balmy dew]

Beautiful, trophies are nice but what's been lost in recent years is the beauty of the game

[hoary raptor]

You know they always say quality over quantity, so for me winning a couple of trophies whilst playing beautiful football is a great thing

I don't care if we only win the prem or UCL, the only thing that matters is playing beautiful football with great tactics and a great coach as well

[dusty current]

Win

[ocean fog]

Trophies if I were a player, but I want to watch beautiful football as a follower

[odd citrus]

people saying beautiful football are stupid

who gives a toss if the football looks good when you’re losing

[astral kettle]

First option ig

[hushed dagger]

trophies

ive watched my club play well to bottle double crowns

[bleak oar]

play beautiful football and win trophies ❤️

Question 84

Which golden generation do you think underachieved more: Belgium 2014–22 or England 2002–10?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[daring snow]

England 2002-2010 without a doubt

[edgy jasper]

England for sure

So much talent wasted

[barren spade]

england

[daring snow]

Perfect sqaud but won nothing

[bleak python]

England

[haughty jacinth]

Chile 2014-2017. Did not qualify for the 2018 WC. Smh

[dry plinth]

Belgium was so epic

[frosty coral]

Belgium's golden generation best run was 3rd place in the World Cup. England's golden generation? Not even a semi-final finish in the World Cup.

[solid mesa]

Belgium

[proud frost]

[misty rapids]

England, but my country's golden gen not winning anything still brings tears to my eyes 💔

[narrow rain]

england
belgiums golden gen imo loses out to englands golden gen in oure skill but was still beat

[frosty coral]

Unpopular opinion but Belguim deserved to win the 2018 WC. They played the best football overall. Shame they couldn't take their chances against France.

[misty rapids]

I will never forgive Umtiti

[bright umbra]

They didn't deserve to win it because they didn't win it

[outer swift]

England

[ocean fog]

England team the same age as me already how tf am I supposed to know

[peak beacon]

england

[ocean fog]

Belgium

[jovial crest]

England

[hoary raptor]

Belgium's golden generation had the most promising players, but by 2022 most of the players are already aging. They deserve to reach the World Cup final in 2018 over France

Imagine a World Cup final between the most underachieving golden generations in international football, Belgium vs Croatia

But if we're talking about the most underachieving golden generation, it has to be 2000s England

They even failed to qualify for the 2008 Euros

The 2000s was a painful decade for England fans, even though they've got the likes of Beckham and Gerrard

Euro 2000: Group stage
2002 World Cup: Quarterfinals
Euro 2004: Quarterfinals
2006 World Cup: Quarterfinals
Euro 2008: Did not qualify
2010 World Cup: Round of 16

Meanwhile, Belgium is just luckier

[rapid laurel]

Belgium

[hoary raptor]

2014 World Cup: Quarterfinals
Euro 2016: Quarterfinals
2018 World Cup: 3rd place
Euro 2020: Quarterfinals
2022 World Cup: Group stage

So yeah, in conclusion England was the more underachieving golden generation

Sorry for yapping too much

[next sigil]

Eng managers in that period were the late Sven, McClaren and Capello - didn't help.However,they did underachieve.

[frosty coral]

yep glad someone agrees with me on their world cup run in 2018

[next sigil]

The line ups for France and Belgium were v good.It's interesting to see the subs and how few of them became regulars in subsequent years.

[hoary raptor]

What if Belgium played against Croatia in the 2018 WC final?

[next sigil]

I think logic suggets Belgium would win but given that Croatia team and their mentality it would be difficult to call.Purely based on a hunch I would say Croatia.You?

[hoary raptor]

Pretty sure Belgium's the better team

[karmic kernel]

England 2002-10 for sure.

[frosty coral]

Belgium would've won. They had greater quality.

[shut nest]

belgium had incredible players ngl...

[karmic kernel]

Yeah but they still did well despite falling short

3rd place in 2018 is not terrible for Belgium. That england squad who had so many players we consider legends and hero's today failed to advance past the QF in 02' and 06' and R16 in 10'

06' got to be disappointing enough considering they lost on penalties to Portugal

Also don't forget they failed to qualify for 08' Euros

[rare bluff]

[junior blaze]

[gray stratus]

[dusty current]

England

[thick sparrow]

Belgium imo

[heady bear]

hot take but people overstate how much belgium's golden generation underachieved. the only time they went into a tournament with one of the top 4 strongest squads in the tournament was in 2018 when they reached the semis, about as far as you'd expect them to get

other than euro 2016 and maybe the 2022 world cup when you look at who they got knocked out by they always got as far as could be expected of them

i'm hesitant to include 2022 in that because whilst they did get grouped they were also in the same group as two semi-finalists so they were clearly up against some really good opposition

[gray tapir]

Belgium, England's Golden Generation is right now, whether you like it or not, we've made back-to-back euros finals, our u21s have won back-to-back euro finals, and our U17s won the World Cup, so I don't even think England's golden generation was from 2002-2010.

[heady bear]

countries can have more than one golden generation

[fallen ravine]

England but belgium was also undoubtedly amazing, both incredible

[tidal lily]

Belgium knocked out of Euro 2016 by wales and 2022 wc by Morocco
Shoudve won Euro 2016

Englands golden generation got knocked out by similar or better ranked teams so not exactly a failure excepted euro 2008

Though they missed kompany in Euro 2016

Bottled in nations league too

A 4-1 lead vs Switzerland

[languid needle]

This question is too traumatizing i aint reading replies no more 💀

[shadow lily]

Seaman, Ferdinand, Campbell, Neville, A. Cole, Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard, Beckham, Owen and others... How's that not golden generation?

Most of these are icons in ea

Good team in paper
But did not perform
Wc 2002 lost to Brazil (which is fair ig cuz Brazil was in prime)
Euro 2004 and wc 2006 lost to Portugal
Euro 2008 was most disappointing they didn't even qualified over Croatia and Russia???

Biggest L in history

[primal walrus]

Crotia, Russia - Just mog England (brutal)

[lyric wedge]

England

[heady bear]

Euro 2004 was a weird one because we got fucked over by the ref, Sol Campbell's goal should not have been ruled out

Van Basten (he could have had a nice competition with Ronaldo and Messi tbh)

[solid mesa]

Pelé

R9 or Thierry Henry

Reece James

[craggy falcon]

Gavi

[honest scroll]

Tchouameni and Chiquinho

[north crag]

fofana

[dawn obsidian]

Murillo

[peak beacon]

foden

[gaunt prawn]

[north spear]

Ben White

[peak beacon]

wait no everyone glazes foden

[merry lance]

Weak bait

[wild bear]

Rodrygo

[rough fog]

Nice 1

[gaunt prawn]

fairly decent career so far hes only 27

[honest scroll]

Zubimendi😎

[hoary raptor]

@merry lance is Reece James underrated?

[vague saddle]

McKennie

Provides versatility

[velvet light]

not Yengi
But tbh I wanna say Nilsen, he may be shit at times but he can be decent as well

[vague saddle]

Does good job of a backup

[north spear]

Prolly one of the better answers

[merry lance]

Gusto might be more underrated currently for us

[peak beacon]

oscar bobb

[outer swift]

Ben white

[vague saddle]

But they still don't like him 🫠

[honest scroll]

Rodrygo seems like more overrated to me now than underrated

[merry lance]

He was bad last season to be fair

People calling him underrated for wtv reason

[honest scroll]

I say overrated cause people say sell Vini and put Rodrygo LW

[wild bear]

HELL YES

[oblique dock]

Robert Sanchez has to be underrated tbf

[honest scroll]

Donnaruma

[frosty thunder]

????

[vague saddle]

Donnaruma is so bad for Italy

[astral kettle]

Pavlovic

[hoary raptor]

Maybe someone else like Tosin, Badiashile or even Liam Delap?

[vague saddle]

They should start playing DiGregorio instead

[haughty star]

Barcelona none

[merry lance]

Word, especially delap, he basically helps us to create chances like jackson, except delap decision making on the pitch and finishing is better than jackson

[haughty star]

Ain’t nobody underrated here, but some could be overrated

No names

#6

[vague saddle]

Araujo

[frosty coral]

Ugh

[frosty thunder]

Hes bad tho isnt he?

[haughty star]

Not been his best year, I hope he can turn things around

[vague saddle]

During Koeman era he was good

[hoary raptor]

At least we loaned Jackson to Bayern

[frosty thunder]

fair enough

[vague saddle]

Even a bit during Xavi

[haughty star]

That was half a decade ago lmao

[frosty thunder]

yea definitely tbf

[haughty star]

That’s mad to say actually

Half a decade ago

[vague saddle]

Wait what 😭

[muted blaze]

As a Madridista it is Aurélien Tchouaméni

[haughty star]

Indeed

5 years ago

[vague saddle]

I mean he was decent for Xavi too

[frosty thunder]

Valverde could be up there too

[dapper zenith]

to an extent curtis jones

[frosty coral]

I'm gonna say Frenkie de Jong. Maybe it's just @craggy falcon but I've seen people slander him too much.

[haughty star]

Agreed

[vague saddle]

Valverde ain't underrated

Perfectly rated

Everyone rates him

[haughty star]

Everybody knows Valverde is hella rated

[north spear]

Brahim Diaz

[frosty thunder]

Yes

[muted blaze]

Yes But he is appreciated but Aurélien Tchouaméni

[wind briar]

for me it’s gotta be Ben White, he’s not mentioned enough when talking about solid Arsenal players currently

[frosty coral]

I'm gonna say Christensen too
