[feral smelt]

Ronaldo as said that he won’t be a manager either if i recall

[sterile forge]

Mourinho V.2.0

[flat moth]

Don’t think he has that tactical knowledge & leadership of Mou

One thing to play one to coach others

[mystic karma]

Here it is the biggest cr7 hater in the world

[sterile forge]

Also excuses

[flat moth]

Gundogan is a player from the current crop that I think will be a very good coach

[naive frigate]

yes i hate him

but not because of footballing reasons

[ionic mortar]

he got to learn things obviously, and i think he'll have to lower his ego to understand his players better but other than that i believe he wouldn't be bad of a coach

[feral smelt]

One good thing ronaldo would have as a coach is the will to squeeze the best out of his players

He would never accept anything less then excellence from them.

[sterile forge]

He fina own a club or become a movie star..

Daym

He also have his YouTube channel

[ionic mortar]

it'd be funny using a player entirely wrong and be mad at them 😭

but that's part of the learning process obv

[flat moth]

Great & intelligent 8 as a player

Has played under Klopp, Tuchel, Pep, Flick, Joachim Low, Nagelsmann

Good leadership as well

[feral smelt]

Doesn’t mean anything
Look at Pirlo for example

[flat moth]

Didn’t say its a guarantee

But I think he has the right skillset

& education

To be one if he works hard & figures it out

[ionic mortar]

Now that I'm thinking it he was not half bad as a captain

he could really be one

[flat moth]

At city he was a pretty good captain
Dk about Germany

At Barcelona also he spoke up pretty well & held the team accountable when they were struggling in his season there

[ionic mortar]

In Germany he did his best, that 2022 squad had problems, many actually

[flat moth]

Lacked a quality nine & a good defence

Their xG stats were insane for 3 games

Only argentina, france & brazil had more xG than Germany in Qatar

& they all played more games

Germany’s attack underperformed massively
& their defence fucked up as well

Just the risks of flick ball

When it succeeds it feels like a masterpiece
But its failure is also equally catastrophic

[ionic mortar]

Flick has control over his players (at least when they are around him)

This is like half his job already

having a good locker room is a big thing

2010 France was stacked but got sent home by South Africa because of the locker room mess

[flat moth]

🥀

6 goals from 10.1 xG
Conceding 5 from 3.4

[flat moth]

Yeah I really like how he profiles his forwards as well

[stark oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/antoine-griezmann-griezmann-grizzy-grizi-grizou-gif-9876559274727958900

[flat moth]

Very few better than him in that aspect, he is pretty good & honest at realising what the best traits & profile for his forwards is

[flat moth]

What is your favourite Griezmann moment ever
Him winning world cup?

[stark oriole]

Like in his career?

[flat moth]

Yh

[ionic mortar]

True, especially having to deal with much younger players and still doing his best to keep them together

[flat moth]

Yeah wonder how long he keeps managing

He is pretty old already

[karmic cairn]

Hello scourgie

[flat moth]

Around 60, has grandkids😭

Dont think he will go for very long

[ionic mortar]

I don't see him have no troubles tho

[flat moth]

Good Day

Linked it to something else

[flat moth]

Legendary Gaffer

[karmic cairn]

Hmmm

[flat moth]

Fair enough, deffo the biggest achievement of his career

For the 2022-23 season of his is very underrated imo

[karmic cairn]

Sad that he wasn’t able to win a league title

Cursed

[flat moth]

Was doing everything in attack for Atleti
& was so so important in that france side which went to the world cup final & carried their creative load

[flat moth]

He has a world cup so its all fine & good, though yeah could have had so much more

[karmic cairn]

I kinda feel arsenal have a chance to win the league this season

[midnight peak]

Wish he won the 2020/21 la liga 🥀

[flat moth]

Kinda?
Mate they are the best team by a mile lol

[karmic cairn]

City are dealing with identity crisis and pool forgot how to play ball

[flat moth]

Has been pretty clear for the last 6-7 weeks

Arsenal are the best team in England comfortably

Their only weak spot is gyokeres imo

Rest that team is very very very good

[karmic cairn]

Yeah kinda because season is lose and teams can loose momentum easily

[flat moth]

They are winning the premier league probably with 3/4 games left

[midnight peak]

Bad time to be a spurs fan

[civic glacier]

They will end up choking in the end as always

Never trust in Arsenal

[flat moth]

Maybe a fa cup & carabao as well

Ucl gyokeres being toothless in big knockout games will bite them heavily for me

But the league title should be their’s there is negligible competition in England for them currently

[karmic cairn]

Yo how you been

Kinda

I’ve had faith in Arsenal plenty of times just to see another team win the premier league and it always back fires , won’t be trusting them again this season either

[flat moth]

Eh I mean they bottled in 2023 only tbf

[stark oriole]

Under appreciated, it’s like he was 25 years old all over again

[flat moth]

2024 they werent in the lead over city to begin with come business time

2025 Liverpool were way above

[flat moth]

Yeah absolutely insane season
He was moving mad, especially after that disaster of a 21-22 season for him

He stepped up so hard

[civic glacier]

I’ve been good , you ?

[flat moth]

Was doing everything for atleti in offence
& was the main creator of France

Interesting tactical work from him at the club

Yeppp

[dire stratus]

well.....

[formal fiber]

Its over now

Best they can do is probably set up a barca vs real legends match with them in the lineups as soon as they retire

[wild marsh]

well? what?

[dire stratus]

🤷‍♂️

hes carrying

[radiant aurora]

Fortunately I can see neither going in to management

[wild marsh]

He's been carrying since Ney left Barca

[dire stratus]

except in psg

[flat moth]

They pretty rich to care about management & don’t really have that coach sort of vibes eithet

[wild marsh]

His role was different in PSG. Did you even see him play? He was literally dropping to midfiled to collect balls from the defense

[flat moth]

Good leadership maybe, but not really the sort of players who got that coach sort of iq to conduct others as well

[dire stratus]

ik but there wasnt really too much space for his natural role and he had to adapt

[wild marsh]

Ya managers at the time didn't use him effectively. For Messi to be a monster that he is, you don't put him in a system, you create it around him but Ig the egos at PSG were too huge to accept that

[eager lance]

Messi is not the type to want to get into the public's scrutiny as a manager after he retires

[wild marsh]

True, unc just wants to enjoy his life

[dire stratus]

fair point

[radiant aurora]

He'll go wherever the money takes him

[eager lance]

If that was the case, he would've gone to Arab instead of US

[feral smelt]

Not really
Have you seen how much money he made by the MLS + sponsors there ?

He made more money then all saudi players bar Ronaldo

[formal fiber]

Me neither, they will just come for one or two such legend match events or attend el clasico matches

[wild marsh]

Not true

He would've earned more if he went to Al Hilal

[feral smelt]

Totally not the point i was making

[wild marsh]

Would've went to Al Hilal if that was the case

[dire stratus]

he would make more than everyone in the league wherever he goes

[radiant aurora]

Could've gone to NOB and paid his respect to retire there. But went MLS 🕊️

[dire stratus]

isnt di maria there now ?

[eager lance]

And he would've made double or even triple the amount in saudi.

[wild marsh]

He clearly stated that he didn't want competition and wanted to enjoy time with his family, what place else like Miami?

[dire stratus]

yea that is true tho he could even go unnoticed in public in the us if he was lucky

that would be impossible anywhere else

[radiant aurora]

Have you been to Miami?

[eager lance]

He has lots of friends there. His wife probably also preferred to live there rather than saudi.

[wild marsh]

No, Ik very much about it. And don't say gang and other shit, I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect the very rich

[feral smelt]

U forgot the sponsors and shares he gets from apple and adidas

Let’s all not pretend ourselves he doesn’t follow the bag like 90% of other players

Not every player is class like Di Maria

[eager lance]

He would get those sponsors regardless where he goes. His name in itself is a brand.

I don't think he's the one who follows the bag. More like he gets tons of bags chucked at him, and he has the option of choosing what he likes.

[flat moth]

He takes money from there mls related sales as well

Not just a personal deal

His Miami contract just pays less up front, it has a lot of bonuses & incentives like this

[eager lance]

Yea and he would get the same from Saudi.

[wild marsh]

Same + more up front

[eager lance]

Look at how much Saudi have invested all around the world. They basically have an unlimited well of liquid gold.

[flat moth]

Nah, saudi just offer you a lump sum upfront tax free with no extra public incentives

As part of that lump sum contract you are liable to do PR work for their country as well

They aren’t making players business partners

[feral smelt]

He also has the same bonus as Beckham where he can own his own franchise in the mls once he retired aka making his own club

[eager lance]

PR work is the same wherever you go. You think Miami didn't milk every drop of Messi's presence there. Difference is the people in US care less about football than the Saudi.

[wild marsh]

Tbf Messi never said he wouldn't play for money. He rarely gives statements he can't follow

And yes I'm taking a shot at some other player

[heavy fjord]

Hi

[flat moth]

Yeah he has a bonus like that but not exactly same iirc,

He has an option to become a part owner in Miami itself I think instead of getting his own personal team

So similar enough but not like for like Becks

[eager lance]

Prob a shareholder or something

My main point at the beginning was, I don't think Messi will go to coaching, cause he's had enough of publicity. Owning a club is different than coaching.

[wild marsh]

Just think about it, US is a better place for him, way more than enough money, bro is less likely to get recognised, better rights than in Saudi.

[radiant aurora]

Ronaldo will play forever until he has more money than Flamini

[strange prairie]

Messi doesn't come across to me like a coaching personality

[wild marsh]

Way less competition asw

Doesn't have to prove himself

[feral smelt]

Likewise

[eager lance]

Better lifestyle for him. Like I said his and his wife's friends are mostly residing there.

[wild marsh]

Definitely has the tactics

[radiant aurora]

We won't know that until he coaches

[tall laurel]

Even if he tries to coach, it's very likely that he will not succeed in becoming a succesful manager

[eager lance]

Football IQ on the pitch doesn't always equate to great coaching style

[wild marsh]

Yea Ik, That's why I only said tactics

There's way more than that to coaching

[tall laurel]

The only position I see him occupying after retiring is in the presidency of a club

Most likely Inter Miami

[wild marsh]

Few seasons under pep could change it tho, But I don't see him working under someone

[radiant aurora]

I don't know which current players I feel would make good coaches

[tall laurel]

I have a feeling that Thiago Silva might make it

[wild marsh]

So much typing for 1 line bruv

[tall laurel]

I was gonna reply to something else and then I changed my mind so I started replying to your message, thats why it took so long haha

[strange prairie]

Why not?

[strange prairie]

You also have to be able to teach them

[flat moth]

Yeah he himself has said it already

That he doesn’t see himself as a coach

If he works in football it will be as a boardroom member of some club

(His own words)

[wild marsh]

Yea that's what I said later

[strange prairie]

Did overlook that

[strange prairie]

I think that's a smart decision because people would expect a lot from him if he was a coach

[flat moth]

He will end up thierry or maradona if he tries to coach

[strange prairie]

Maybe even worse

[flat moth]

These players are very intelligent & talented, but that makes it incredibly difficult for them to coach players as well

Like that Thierry Henry clip where he was once asking his players to move & dribble like they are world class like him ☠️

[radiant aurora]

It's why Keane struggled somewhat. He doesn't have the patience for players who can't do what he did

[flat moth]

Yeah

[flat moth]

Yeah

[tall laurel]

I don’t see him becoming a successful manager because his game relies on instinctive genius, and instinct is incredibly hard to teach or translate to normal players

[strange prairie]

Yeah very likely

You can't teach talent

[tall laurel]

yeah

[shrewd fractal]

didnt ronaldo like semi coach portugal once or was that ronaldo fanboy hype

when he got injured and sent ooff

[radiant aurora]

No lol

[spiral oak]

yeah that's called screaming at his teammates

he does that on the bench or on the pitch

both actually

[flat moth]

😭

I am crying

He was just shouting & motivating them to do well & hold on the lead after Eder scored in the Euro 2016 final

[raw lark]

I was on the pitch

I didn’t hear him

[wild marsh]

Doesn't talk shit

Excellent Midfielder

[radiant aurora]

😐

[wild marsh]

One of the chillest guy

[wild marsh]

How do you not like him?

Is it because you're a madrid fan or smth

[radiant aurora]

I can't stand either club

[wild marsh]

Which club do you support

[radiant aurora]

Viking. But I currently live in the UK and watch Villa

[tame jolt]

wow
First time seeing a busquets hater

[past fern]

New Daily Question:

#daily-question message

[flat moth]

He was hated a lot when he was younger

Back in early 2010’s & mid 2010’s

His hate only fizzled out later in his career

Otherwise Busquets was a very hated player when he was younger

[wild marsh]

thats what I was saying

[flat moth]

You guys were probably young to know or not socials back when he was hated

Busquets rep was very bad was when he was younger

[lusty bay]

disliking isn't the same as hating

[radiant aurora]

Yeah. Good player. But petulant, diver, cheat. He was very unlikable

Motta incident a prime example

[lusty bay]

i heard this before

he had a bad rep due to diving

[flat moth]

He reduced it as he got older
But yeah he was pretty scummy when he was younger

Thats why new gen/younger fans see him as a saint

But plenty of others who were following the sport during his scummy phase still dislike him

[flat moth]

Yeah he was one of the most hated players itw till the mid 2010’s

[lusty bay]

didn't young neymar have a rep for an ego

[flat moth]

Neymar had a bad rep for ego & diving for his whole career

Peaked during 2018 wc & psg times

Santos & Barca Neymar in comparison got way less hate in comparison to 2018 when whole world was memeing about him

[radiant aurora]

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

[rough igloo]

wait

shit

[shrewd fractal]

holy shit 5 pings 😭

[flat moth]

Basically that Neymar was trolled/disliked more after he moved to psg than he was at Santos & Barcelona

[worldly orchid]

I watched PSG games in 22/23

he was horrible 😭

[flat moth]

Whats that got to do with Busi

[worldly orchid]

he was playing quite good but

weren't we taling about Neymar ?

[flat moth]

Just at the end after Pavel mentioned

Main topic was Busquets

[worldly orchid]

Neymar in 22/23 was constantly simulating, doing useless fouls and talking with refs

[worldly orchid]

the best CDM of all time

[flat moth]

Yh he has done that his whole career

[worldly orchid]

from 2014 to 2019, Busquets was a better player than Iniesta

[flat moth]

Yh but he was a diver & a bit scummy when he was younger

That was the topic

[worldly orchid]

well actually

imo

from 2013 to 2019, Busquets was better than Iniesta in Barça

[flat moth]

Damn

[worldly orchid]

do you agree ?

[flat moth]

Not for 2013-15
After that you have a point

2015-2018 busquets was kind of more consistent

Than iniesta

[worldly orchid]

he was unreal

the biggest football IQ I have ever witnessed

[flat moth]

I would say till 2015 iniesta was definitely better
But after 2015 sure you can make a case for busquets on consistency

As iniesta had started to decline & dropped down in consistency

[worldly orchid]

@flat moth do you think that Zubimendi can replace Rodri ?

[flat moth]

I don’t think he will be as good as peak rodri, but zubi will certainly be a great replacement nonetheless for Rodri in the Spanish setup yesh

[worldly orchid]

do you think that Zubimendi - Pedri - Fabian may be the best midfield in the WC ?

[flat moth]

Probably I can’t think of much better ones

Maybe rodri starts still in 2026

If he can be fit

Otherwise yeah better to start Zubi

I am actually liking the new England midfield dynamic as well

Involving Anderson

[feral smelt]

There were 2 different types of hate

During the wc where he spent a total of 15 min on the ground made him fun to troll and meme

Even brasil were making fun of him and booing him.

When he left for PSG it was mostly the sport washing aspect of if.
Leaving a top team to join an oil team.
Which his later move to saudi didn’t help.

[worldly orchid]

last time, Pedri got injured and they started Dani Olmo who was even better than him

but I don't think Pedri will be on the bench

and you can't bench Fabian either

[flat moth]

Portugal have Neves & Vitinha but Martinez has some silly penchant of playing Neves rb at times

[worldly orchid]

and you need a defensive midfielder or a regista for the chemistry

[worldly orchid]

Luis Enrique does that too

[flat moth]

Yeah he deffo over did the drama & diving in 2018

[radiant aurora]

This wasn't in response to you. Looks like the message I responded to was deleted.

[lost dawn]

Don’t forget my man Bruno

Without him they lost 2-0, with him they won 9-1

Levels

[flat moth]

Psg have 0 depth for Hakimi tho

Portugal at least have a few half decent full backs

[flat moth]

Oh okay

[feral smelt]

We have cancelo, semedo, araujo, dalot. All can play RB
And Martinez uses one of our best CMs there.

Trust me. Even portuguese commentators have no clue what he does sometimes.

[lost dawn]

As long as Martinez stays managing Portugal they won’t be winning anything serious

[flat moth]

I see bruno more as a very heavy creative force who constantly generates chaos & threat through his creativity in the final third instead of someone who offers control & midfield dominance(not saying he is bad or anything he is great - just a different style of play)

[flat moth]

Yh it feels crazy Portugal should get a more serious manager asap

For Euro 2028

[lost dawn]

I’ve always thought mourinho would be perfect

For international football

[cold furnace]

Ladies and gentleman its matchday
The kings of england vs everton

[granite notch]

https://tenor.com/view/jonah-hill-no-chill-out-bro-nah-fam-gif-16233135

[feral smelt]

Martinez was saved by the fact Portugal won the nations league

[lost dawn]

You need him closer to goal to get the best out of him. Even as a more advanced midfielder he works because of the risk taking he likes to do

That’s why when we play him deep at United we all lose our shit whenever he takes a risky pass and ends up booting the ball out of play from deep

Hopefully today we see him where he should be

[worldly orchid]

ranking top 5 best midfields in the world cup :

1. Spain : Fabian, Zubimendi, Pedri
2. Argentina : Enzo Fernandez, Rodrigo de Paul, Leandro Paredes, Thiago Almada
3. Portugal : Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes, João Neves/Palhinha
4. France : Tchouaméni, Manu Koné, Michael Olise
5. Germany : idk

[lost dawn]

Ain’t no way my man didn’t put Kimmich

[worldly orchid]

Kimmich is the only one I'm sure is gonna start

[flat moth]

Yeah, thats just his mindset. Always taking risks to generate scoring opportunities. He isn’t really a player who will offer you control in midfield, but an absolutely world class threat generator & creator.

[lost dawn]

Germany should just be Bayern Munich let’s be fr

[worldly orchid]

Goretzka 💀

no

[flat moth]

Very few creators better than him in Premier League history actually, he plays in the banter era of United so probably will never get a lot of respect

[flat moth]

He plays rb for them as well

[worldly orchid]

yes

[flat moth]

As they dont have any good rb’s

[sterile forge]

Aight

Thx

[flat moth]

So they just kimmich there

[worldly orchid]

I used to play RB when I was young

[flat moth]

Nice mate

[worldly orchid]

If I knew, I would have insisted

and takenthe german nationality

I would have played in a world cup

[flat moth]

I never played as a full back as I wasn’t fast

Mostly as a cm or a dm

[worldly orchid]

it's not always about being fast
if you know when to accelerate and when to slow down it's ok

I'm not that fast either, I just have a lot of stamina

[flat moth]

Yeah ik that ik, just didn’t understand that well when I was younger

[worldly orchid]

that helps a lot

[worldly orchid]

I was OK as a CB but my teammates didn't trust me unfortunately because I didn't have a lot of qualities.
I liked playin RB because even if you can't dribble, you often have a midfielder or a winger to do combinations with you

I can't dribble

[flat moth]

Yeah fair enough

[dire stratus]

damn i too play rb a lot

but my fav position is rm or lw. but yea my dribbling is avg

[formal fiber]

Wasn't fast either, played as a cb or cdm most of the times. Was good at bodying others 😭

And can make precise passes from time to time but NEVER expext me to dribble

[flat moth]

is this guy trusted

[flat moth]

Mario Cortegana a tier 1 reliable source for Madrid news yeah

[granite notch]

vini should come to fener

[flat moth]

🔥💛🖤🇧🇷

[flat moth]

I played cb as well when I was new to playing as I was poor on the ball initially

Moved to midfield eventually

& played most of my life there

[granite notch]

we like brazillians

[flat moth]

Alex

🐐

[granite notch]

our biggest club legend and top goalscorer is a brazillian

[granite notch]

yessir 🔥

[flat moth]

Goated baller

[granite notch]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

[radiant aurora]

Feels like Vini just hasn't had any output lately

[mellow cedar]

whos he gonna join then

[flat moth]

Still a developing story mate

[tame jolt]

saudi maybe?

If he even leaves

[devout spear]

Al nassr need lw

Believable shi

[flat moth]

Premier league or saudi are most likely

PSG & Bayern I dont think they go for him

Serie A cant afford

If he prefers Europe probably England

Otherwise yeah he can grab his billion dollars in Saudi

[dire stratus]

he should go to city

it would be interesting

but they have doku too

[flat moth]

Well for now I guess he will hope florentino sacks Xabi & chooses him

If that doesn’t happen

Then his agent will start talking to clubs

[dire stratus]

there is less chance

florentino loves vini but thats just too much

unless xabi messes up

[flat moth]

Season is long lets see what happens by May

[dire stratus]

hmm yea

there is still 1.5 years left in his contract too

[flat moth]

I think if they sack Xabi Vinicius stays
Otherwise his agent will start talking to PIF & Premier league

[dire stratus]

hmm yea

he has time till 2027 or so

[cyan egret]

He does everything which pep doesn't like lmao

😭

[dire stratus]

exactly

[flat moth]

Yh icl if he is getting pissed at Xabi, pep will make him lose his mind

[worldly orchid]

we should definitely not sack Xabi Alonso

we are progressing with him

when you have a new coach, there's usually a momentum (often the beginning) where you win a lot of games, then it stops and you start losing some games

it's part of the process

we weren't gonna win 9 games in a row for the whole season

[cyan egret]

Real madrid, we're paying refs

🔥

[worldly orchid]

yes

having more difficult times is part of the process, it's needed and we need to overcome this

by finding some new solutions

[devout spear]

Arsenal is best

[dire stratus]

damn dint expect this chat to be this silent 😔

[dire stratus]

which is to to pay the refs ? 😭

dw xabi and mbappe will save u

[cyan egret]

Nothing has changed since the last exclusive channel

But it's off topic nvm

[dire stratus]

hmm ig a lounge can be quiet

[dusty totem]

I am watching Ligue 2 to see Savanier play.

[red urchin]

how's usl dunkerque doing

followed them quite a bit for my boy skytta

he's doing insanely well at kaiserslautern rn hope some ambitious clubs have him on their radar

[dusty totem]

They are 9th.

They have an undefeated streak of 5 games going on.

3 wins and 2 draws.

Lwk if he gets fired, he should join us

[midnight peak]

What the hell why 😭

[cyan egret]

Bad performance i guess and some players not getting gametime

[flat moth]

Vinicius doesn’t like him & is refusing to sign a new deal unless Xabi gets sacked or he gets a ronaldo level contract

[cyan egret]

Also alonso experiments

It's just who he is, but madrid management doesn't like it at all

[flat moth]

Nah it’s mainly the beef definitely

[cyan egret]

Either way, get him sacked

[midnight peak]

He has been doing fine imo

[cyan egret]

And let him join frankfurt

[midnight peak]

I would rather have vini leave

[cyan egret]

I don't think he's getting sacked either way

But i want him to

🦅

[tight ruin]

But madrid fans are so ungrateful, they literally sit at top of the league 😭😭

[cyan egret]

Big expectations

Their fans asking for Haaland lmfao

[tight ruin]

The bigger the expectations, the bigger the flops

[midnight peak]

Treble season or he is the worst manager they have seen 🥀

[cyan egret]

I'm crying, here I am hoping for the club to be be active in the window at least

[tight ruin]

😭😭😭

[cyan egret]

Frankfurt and Dortmund keeping that big bag forever

Never gonna spend shit

[tight ruin]

yeah we have no hope

[midnight peak]

I just want a win from spurs 💔

[cyan egret]

You won 4-1

[midnight peak]

Wrong london club

[cyan egret]

You had an arsenal pfp with son

Fym wrong club

[midnight peak]

Hey i lost a bet

😭

[cyan egret]

Arsenal fan in disguise 🥸

Sadly your goat is washed and went to mericaaaa

[midnight peak]

15 GA in 12 games fym washed

[cyan egret]

Almost as many g/a as his league 24/25 season

Like one less g/a

[midnight peak]

Umm i cant argue w that

But he is lit doing it in 12 games

[cyan egret]

Don't tell me you watch MLS nowadays

💀

[midnight peak]

I barely do gng

[cyan egret]

Good

[flat moth]

See them in 2034 👋

[cyan egret]

City isn't good enough currently, he should join frankfurt

👍

[flat moth]

Frankfurt got unlimited aura

[cyan egret]

Grass is green

[umbral scaffold]

What if he just retires after that or go to a weaker league😭

[midnight peak]

He wont retire

Most likely the second option

[umbral scaffold]

Nvm he will be 34

So not that old for a striker i believe

[flat moth]

He will be around 34 only

[celest marsh]

Why are you repping joao cancelo

[flat moth]

He can continue till his late 30’s comfortably

As long as injuries dont ravage him

[flat moth]

Felt like it
I like him

Especially his 21-22 season

[celest marsh]

Such a waste that hes at saudi now

[flat moth]

https://youtu.be/s3p0f6nMMRw?si=pg6zKVZ1kG07yj5p

🕊️

[flat moth]

Yh should have stayed in Europe but i guess the money was alluring

[celest marsh]

Hes coming back to Europe apparently

[flat moth]

Hope he does

[umbral scaffold]

Goated player ( so versatile i forgot his original position😭)

[flat moth]

Gabri Veiga & Laporte returned

[flat moth]

RB naturally
Can play LB as well

Played a bit on wings as well

[umbral scaffold]

Wasn't he sometimes AMF/DMF or i'm tripping

[cyan egret]

I'm not hating but, guy was buns

🤔

[umbral scaffold]

Even winger

[flat moth]

But 90% of the time a fullback only

[flat moth]

Amazing going forward

[celest marsh]

Hes not the best defensively

[flat moth]

Defensively he was pretty weak

[celest marsh]

However offensively hes great

[flat moth]

But if accommodated for created magic

[cyan egret]

So he's like pedro Porro

[flat moth]

Pedro Porro’s better version yeah

[cyan egret]

Aii

[flat moth]

Cancelo was arguably the best full back in the world in 2022 alongside trent

[umbral scaffold]

He was better than Trent for me icl

[flat moth]

Entered the fifa best team over him, not that it means much as these awards are pr & trophy based

But I take it

[umbral scaffold]

The thing is that they are both pretty weak in defense

[umbral scaffold]

But Trent is on another level in terms of weakness

[flat moth]

Nah cancelo was pretty awful defensively as well

At his best Trent was definitely better cant be too biased😭

But cancelo was amazing as well offensively, best itw level in 21-22

[umbral scaffold]

So hard to tell which one was the worst for me😭

[flat moth]

I think both were about same level of bad as defenders

[umbral scaffold]

Trent and Cancello were both getting cooked left and right

[flat moth]

But trent was a better creator & passer

Cancelo better dribbler

[cyan egret]

Brown is better than both

[flat moth]

Frankfurt’s Ballon Dor winner

[cyan egret]

Scourge never had a bad take yeo

[umbral scaffold]

Frankfurt can go for the ucl

[cyan egret]

😭?

[flat moth]

https://tenor.com/view/taça-gif-25716768

[cyan egret]

We can go for quarter finals at best

[umbral scaffold]

Final beating the best team in the world 6-0 and Burkdart ballon d'or🔥

[cyan egret]

Kevin Trapp😢

The defence got worse after him

[umbral scaffold]

Old psg GK ?

Or another one

[flat moth]

Yeah

He was kinda mod at PSG tho

[cyan egret]

Ye he was there

[flat moth]

Legend at frankfurt

Was mid at psg

Still won 2 ligue 1’s

Tho with PSG not that hard

Won Europa with Frankfurt later which was bigger

[cyan egret]

Fuck rangers 🔥

[flat moth]

Aaron Ramsey penalty miss😭

[cyan egret]

Guy was subbed two mins before pen, only for him to miss it 💀

[flat moth]

Yh hilarious

& it lost them the final

[cyan egret]

Got a red for friendly fire

[mystic karma]

Phahaahaha whaat

What did he do

[lost dawn]

Shoved him in the face

Red for violent conduct

[umbral scaffold]

Slapped his teamate in the face i believe

[mystic karma]

Whaaat

[mystic karma]

How did that even come to do this

[mystic karma]

This is so unprofessional

And to think about hes the one who should take the blame

[cyan egret]

Both of them should be benched for the next few games

[ripe ginkgo]

yes bench the suspended player

didnt rabiot get sold because of this

[cyan egret]

Ye after the dressing room fight

[mystic karma]

I cant belive this united is not taking advantage of this game

[indigo knoll]

I hope they fail ong

[cyan egret]

You can get him if it happens

But it's unlikely as far as I can see

[indigo knoll]

I don't think Alonso would be good for us

Idk

[cyan egret]

True tbh

Either way he's not getting sacked

[red urchin]

Yeah no way

I think he’ll force vini out though

[cyan egret]

Ye most likely, he will either go to pl or saudi

[indigo knoll]

Pl would skin him alive

One dive and the whole stadium boos him

[red urchin]

What stadium they dont have any fans

Literal libraries

[cyan egret]

That's the only place where he can get his wages lmao

[indigo knoll]

The library comes alive when someone dives

[cyan egret]

Other than saudi

[indigo knoll]

True

[red urchin]

Ehhh

Still don’t rate prem fan culture

way too touristy

[cyan egret]

I think it's mainly for the big 6

But yes

[night schooner]

downexz you at the game tomorrow?

[indigo knoll]

Gotta look

Either way

The house is sold out

😭

[night schooner]

F

[indigo knoll]

Crazy thing is

[night schooner]

bought mine good time ago

[indigo knoll]

💔

[night schooner]

Gonna be a fun game I hope

lots to play for, for both teams

[radiant aurora]

Just the nature of what happens when money and PR are involved. Same with Barca, Madrid

[red urchin]

Unfortunately

Just hoping it doesnt spread to other leagues

[dusty totem]

Haramball worked.

Football lost.

How do you lose against Everton at home

But i prefer everton

After very boring game

[worldly orchid]

HAHAHHAHAAH

Can someone explain what happened in the United match today?

Missed it due to work

[cyan egret]

United had 14 chances and 80 minutes against a 10 men down everton, yet they lost

[dark badger]

Missed it due to school

[hasty fog]

So Pickford masterclass or United attack just piss poor?

[cyan egret]

Pickford saved two crazy shots tbf

Genuinely class performances, united did fumble tho either way

[hasty fog]

Fair fair

Damn idk which match to watch in the ucl

[formal fiber]

Ofc Juve Bodo for nice view of snowfall too

[edgy magnet]

Nah the timing of the juve match is the same timing for the barca vs chelsea so i can’t watch it but the view of the snowfall in ucl night is a banger

[lusty bay]

im watching chelsea vs barcelona

[edgy magnet]

Same

[lusty bay]

unless maresca does his homework again we're cooked

[edgy magnet]

I have a feeling this match will be a generational one

[lusty bay]

I feel more excited for UEL tho

[edgy magnet]

Yeah uel has been really good in the recent years

[formal fiber]

Will be beautiful for us, freezing cold for the players 😭

[edgy magnet]

Yeah this might be bodo’s advantage for winning the match against juve

[formal fiber]

Won't be shocked if we lose

-10 with snowfall is really bad

[shrewd fractal]

its about to be a 6-7 goal banger

honestly no idea whos gonna win

cus elsea shows up to the most random ass games

[pine herald]

chelsea ❌ cole palmer ✅

[cyan egret]

That pfp and the way you typed

[dire stratus]

merseyside is blue

[cold furnace]

Shh they js beat our club

we cant say that

even wif 10 men

[dire stratus]

well what can i say

even in hard times its good to smile at the positives

not bad

amorin knew this would happen. he talked about how we would completely lose momentum after the international break.😭

[formal fiber]

Kinda reminded me of arsenal utd match where united made the most attacks but couldn't find that final goal

[dire stratus]

fr

zirkzee dint play that bad

he exceeded my expectations

[hoary wren]

Surely Everton should be 10th?

Oh wait

Nvm goals scored

[radiant aurora]

Goals scored

[austere steeple]

Hello

[rough igloo]

yo

[vapid gale]

Tbh can't solely blame Amorim. He's doing his best.

[cyan egret]

By being stubborn, he's no different than slot when it comes to being stubborn

[rough igloo]

how tf did utd lose 😭😭

[cyan egret]

Such a shame people still rate amorim

[rough igloo]

shits wild

[vapid gale]

I don't think he's a good manager, but the players aren't that great either.

[vapid gale]

Slot has a much better team

[cyan egret]

Ye their squad isn't great but they can definitely perform better

[vapid gale]

Even Klopp could've won the league last season. It was his team.

[cyan egret]

Ye because slot is very similar to klopp

😭

That's exactly why Liverpool got him, him being similar to klopp was the reason how he adapted with the squad that fast

[vapid gale]

Not really that similar. Klopp is a much better manager too.

[cyan egret]

Klopp being better isn't the point

They are similar 😭

[vapid gale]

and they aren't that similar either in terms of tactics

[cyan egret]

?

Did you watch Liverpool last season...?

[slender otter]

U r always online dang

[vapid gale]

It's inaccurate to claim Klopp and Slot have the exact same tactics.

[cyan egret]

No, i just got on after waking up

Lmao

[vapid gale]

Also, yes I did watch Liverpool last season.

[cyan egret]

"similar" has nothing to do with "exact" tactics

[slender otter]

I'm at bus alr

[cyan egret]

They are in fact similar

[vapid gale]

Not really

That's exactly why Liverpool appointed him

Slot is a one system manager and stubborn as far as I can see

Unlike klopp

Don't know why managers like him and amorim are too stubborn, you definitely need to bring a change if you are losing 5 back to back games

Again, what's your prediction for Arsenal vs Bayern?

[cyan egret]

2-1 for bayern, only if they score first

[serene dragon]

I believe this too

[cyan egret]

Realistically I can see a 2-2 draw

[serene dragon]

Or a draw since Arsenal is excellent defensively

Yeah

[cyan egret]

or 2-1 win, which can go for either team

I guess whoever scores first will get the edge

[serene dragon]

Yeah

But i won't lie, whatever happens, please do not make Arsenal win this shit

The noise pollution would be generational

[cyan egret]

It's at their home tbf

Won't be a surprise if they do win

[serene dragon]

Oh yh i forgot damn

[lusty bay]

Barca 3-1 Chelsea

[serene dragon]

I'm still hoping for at least a draw

[vapid gale]

Bayern is winning
