Hopefully
Juppp
They will actl say "Saka better than messi"
Maybe even worse
pls bro what else can they say? 😭
I see a 2-1 late winner by Bayern
Wouldn't be surprised if the same happened to arsenal
last years jordan looked better.... but maybe this one will look better in game
psg have the best kits
This one a bit basic though
Still looks fine enough
8/10
last years wing design on the sleeves where clean
yeah they have very nice kits
What’s the point of a forth kit
Other then to sell lol
Bet PSG will be the first club to make a fith kit
Because people like their jordan kit 🤔
Never liked Jordan clothing
Tonight Barça plays against Chelsea
At Stamford Bridge
a pretty difficult stadium for Barça
LET'S GO !
Tonight all eyes will be on the main event regardless
Ajax vs benfica right? The bottom 2 in the ucl
Exactly
we got ts tho
It’s hard football for us
Same birthday as alonso
damn
Happy birthday to both
om vs newcastle any predictions ?
very underrated matchup
#kuwait #mauritania #الكويت #موريتانيا #كاس_العرب #arab_cup #fifa_arab_cup
Arab Cup Qualifiers let's go
🇰🇼 🇲🇷
HT
Kuwait 2-0 Mauritania
New Daily Question:
1 vs newcastle
3 vs usg
3 vs liverpool
3 vs brugge
Done
Barça XI vs Chelsea:
GK- Joan Garcia
LB- Balde
LCB- Gerard GOAT Maldini
RCB- Cubarsi
RB- Kounde
CDM- FDJ
CDM- Eric Garcia
CAM- Fermin
LW- Raphinha
RW- Lamine Yamal
ST- Lewandowski
chelsea line up is a lil too unpredictable bcz of their squad depth
and theyre not rlly missing any players
Err it's not unpredictable
They could genuinely loose to
USG
lol
Or Brugge
We never know
With them
Ohhh yaaa i need to make my team too
Wait Dumfries and Osimhen won't play? 
LB Cucurella all day
Koundé is really overrated as a RB
he's really bad this season, and he wasn't even that great last season. He was good but the comparisons with Hakimi or Carvajal's previous season made absolutely no sense. It's absolutely not the same level.
I think Malo Gusto or Reece James are better
AHH BRO I MISREAD IT
it's Barça's XI
I thought you were saying who was having the best team 😭 😭 😭
mb
😭😭
I just read the first 4 at first
and then I looked at the rest and understood it
No sane person would put Balde over Cucurella man
Barcelona vs Chelsea combined XI
GK : Joan Garcia
LB : Cucurella
CB : Cubarsi
CB : Araujo
RB : Kounde
CDM : FDJ
CDM : Casado
CAM : Fermin
LW : Raphinha
RW : Yamal
ST : Lewangoalski
Wow
CB I would take Chaloba and Fofana
and james for rb

I think the entire defense should be Chelsea's in a combined XI
Caicedo is better than every barca midfielder bar pedri
James better than kounde as well
So you think. Casado is better than Caicedo
yeah thats why I said caicedo instead of casado
If palmer was playing I would say him over fermin as well
true
I'd say Chalobah over Araujo, Caicedo over FDJ
even Malo Gusto is better than Koundé
better win or else my acca is fucked
Caicedo over casado imo
of couse
And yeah chalobah over araujo
Yeah that's better
in the French national team, Malo Gusto is way better than Koundé
FDJ would be chelsea's best player, forget midfielders
If everyone is fit-
Garcia
James Cubarsi Colwill Cucu
Caicedo Pedri
Yamal Palmer Rapha
Lewan
I'm still thinking about last season kounde😭💔
Koundé is just trash since a few months ago 😭
Jules Kounde was France's best player in the last Euros campaign btw, what the fuck is a malo gusto
he was good but that was 1,5 years ago
caicedo over fdj
I just haven't watched much of barca ig, Caicedo has been class whenever I watched him play. Tho yeah Caicedo over Casaso makes way more sense
the only player Chelsea can have in the XI when everyone is fit is Cole Palmer and perhaps Reece
nobody else
Deschamps changed his tactics for this Euro tournament.
Koundé spent most of his time as a pure defensive player while Theo Hernandez was more offensive
Yeah caicedo best itw level for me as a 6
@blissful pond stop overhyping your players this much 😭 😭 😭
Casado is our worst midfielder so yeah
easiest decision ever
i rate everyone as much as he should be rated
it's not my fault we have so many all timers in our squad these last 2-3 years
you just ignore all of his mistakes and say he's good 😭 😭
you make up excuses for him
even I don't overhype Alvarez this much
Alvarez got a better free kick ratio than Beckham
actually
Alvarez might be the greatest player ever set plays
he's :
- a really good penalty taker
- an awesome corner taker
- an unreal free kick taker
Barcelona's elites:
joan
pau
lamine
pedri
fdj
Rapha
lewa
alejandro
Chelsea's elites:
(reece?)
Cole
he's good at penalties and world class at corners and free kicks
I don't think we've ever seen that before
I don't know Beckham's statistics on penalties
he was a good corner taker but idk if he was as good as Alvarez
caicedo is on the brink of elite
he is absolutely ELITE
Alejandro is not elite
Pau neither
Rapha injured
Lewa is not what he used to be
Rashford should be mentioned
caicedo is amongst the very best for his position
can’t break lines vs sunderland
Does everything so well
are you ready to call Caicedo better than any of these: kimmich, pedri, fdj, neves
he's top 6 best midfielders itw for me
Fair take
😭😭😭
not yet icl
ok
he's better than FDJ.
Kimmich, Neves, Pedri, Fabian and Vitinha are probably better than him.
for me he's 6th best midfielder itw
balde and pau are def elites
Baldé no
oh boy
Pau neither
you don't watch PSG games
fabian is underrated but putting him in elite convos is disrespectful
it kills me how even now, so many of our playes are so underrated
nothing disrespectful
both are
we need to win a UCL urgently because the disrepesct is too much
i rate fabian ruiz bro but he’s not near elite
yea
he’s one or two tiers below
“better than pedri in club and national level”
yes
😂 okay bro
Nah rs 😭
batneen alt i finally clocked your gimmick
winning a UCL won't make me say that Cubarsi is a good defender
he’s not an elite passer, he’s not an elite ball carrier
exactly what I was talking about
people don't take the time to analyze what he's doing
he has an excellent shot and is a good athlete, very underrated technicall
thankfuly Cubarsi isn't waiting for your co-sign to be an elite
but all the people on the elite list are elite on everything there
his shooting is not even his fifth best quality...
@vast compass Busquets was not a much better passer and wasn't a better ball carrier
yet he's the best CDM in football history
watched it vs arsenal in the ucl, watched it in the euros vs croatia
busquets was a way better passer and a much better ball carrier
he wasn't a better ball carrier
nor a better passer
if you name 1 thing that Fabian ruiz has over Frenkie de Jong i will allow you to sneak him in elite debates
there are many things 😭 😭
a better shot icl
hi
when we are freed from the CDM shifts the world will remember
this is lowkey taking me out because you only mentioned things that Frenkie is 100% better at
He sees everything that will happen 5 seconds in advance
holy glaze

Fabian Ruiz is one of the best players in the world
is this what life with Tchouameni and valverde does to a man
he is good alright
Valverde is meh
😭
B2B shifts will be generational
https://vxtwitter.com/i/status/1992949009103696196 when Bernal is fully fit, unleash this demon
people forget how good of a wonderkid donnarumma was at milan
@blissful pond @vast compass @dire stratus
People always tell me that about Fabian. They tell me I'm "exaggerating, there are much better players". Then I tell them "watch one of his games, looking at him and only him for like 20 minutes".
They always change their mind after that.
get off the alt Batneen
how did u find ts so fast
is this the peak of glazing?
u deadass found it in like 20 seconds
they posted it yesterday tbf
nobody takes this serious tbf
hes good and all but i feel this is a bit too much
sure he is a very influential player tho
Cristiano ronaldo will play in the first game of wc 26
For real ?
I don't know if that would be a good thing or not.
We saw that they struggled with him
Confirm?
I don't know what his source his tbf
what is your source ?
Doesn't the red card prevent it
Lemme find it
There you go
Why doesn't pop out???
@flat moth ???
Where is the embed
Same
Suspended suspension for an almost 41 year old
Bro what if he retires after world cup itself lmao
Manchild
Hes out from nt after the tournament
For sure
Same guy who claims everyone is against him btw
If he retires after the world cup he wont even serve it lmao
😭
Yeah
Btw you didn't answer my question
Oh
Oh now it did
Suspended suspension for w 41 year old genuinely feels hilarious
Unless he somehow is planning for euro 2028 still
Looks like the trump meeting worked
Disadvantage Portugal
😀✌️
I would love to see messi winning his last copa america
They got more win rate with ronaldo
Is bro planning to share the pitch with his son like lebron 
He was the worst forward on the pitch against us both times
Not believing the propaganda
Portugal are a bit unlucky they don't have they many good strikers
Imagine if messi wins
Finalisma 2026
Wc 26
Copa America 2028
He can probably do that easily for Al Nassr
Who are well known
Junior is 15 already I think
Then he end up winning the super balloon d'or
Will be 16 next year
Stuck with the narcissist up front
Still better option than ramos
I feel like it'll be a Romeo Beckham situation
Not that good but still gets forced into clubs
Ronaldo can easily do a lebron X bronny already if Al Nassr get Junior in
What about nt
Money talks
hope he doesnt fold under the pressure
LeBron is the only one
For NT it’s never happening unless Junior is actually a super talented player
Well what I mean is playing with his Son
i dont think that is the best for juniors career tho
He plays for u15 already
LeBron gonna play with his 2 sons in a few years
he should go to a top european academy
You never know
afaik bryce isnt that good
Though thats for #other-sports
Managers too scared to go against Ronaldo
I can’t lie, at his age he’s still their best option for the striker position
Ramos fooled everyone
Doesn't mayulu start over him in psg
for portugal disadvantage
Nah he's retiring
Reason we saw Dembele in the middle and Ramos on the bench
icl if im being fr, the points vs chelsea on sunday are more important than vs bayern tmrw
Cuz if /when we beat chelsea we will have bigger lead
his brother is shit
I think he will probably just retire & the suspended suspension will just turn out to be a scam
but even if wenlose to liverpool we’ll get top 8
Best to drop points against Bayern and make sure you increase the gap in the premier league
Pass it onto his son
🤣
yeah
Best case scenario we win both
Either way I’m pretty sure Bayern and Arsenal are already into the next phase
Certainly
Only real advantage of finishing top 8 in Ucl league phase is rest for 2 games
Who u play after bayern in ucl
yeh
carrot i think
Carrot?
nah its club brugge
You mean kairat
carrot > potato
brugge away is a comfy 2-0 win
also people who rank higher now get to play their knockoff 2nd round games at home, which is certainly an advantage
Is it confirmed)
People were saying that last year as well
Brugge inter kairat
Im not sure actually however I recall reading that that would be the case
I read that last year as well but it wasnt the case in the end
after chelsea our remaining 6 games calm
brentford, villa wolves everton beihton
and villa again
am i reading that right
No reason for Arsenal to not win it
not in what
The league
yeh
Nil all
The special one strikes first
🐐
Remontada benfica
Now we will win all ucl matches
😭
Need a break checking on football chat
Welcome
Its Ajax 🥀
are anderson and wharton better than lobotka?
carreras and neres will reminisce of their benfica days and fumble and we will win
Feeling confident for the game Ligue 1
Sad
Woltemade isn't starting 😠
They playing in france eh?
Yes.
And it changes everything.
The Vélodrome is extremely atmospheric, loud and electric.
Their ultras are so good.
Greenwood is in good form i hope he will perform well
He will.
Hope he scores
Paixao and Aubameyang will also perform well, but since the referees are specifically shit with Marseille.
rma boycotting ballon dor ceremony is the most childish thing in football history
In fairness to Madrid, it's a nonsense award
but look at rpahiha
haaland
Do you really think the biggest club itw cares ?
If anythin Ballon d’or loses more by not having Real Madrid then Real Madrid not having them
they cared enough to not coke
Coke ?
Come*
Rui Costa and Jose Mourinho masterclass in the CL 🗣️
Rip ajax
like Slovan Bratislava last year
We beat last place yay ! 
Ajax must really REALLY be in the mud to lose 2-0 at home against the worst benfica i ever seen
fr
Hell yea
Bruh what is juventus doing bro
our usual things
jogging around
passing back
jogging some more
passing sideways
Pep for whatever reason thinking to rotate & rest most of the main 11 for a match against a top 4 German side with top 8 far from confirmed lol
Weird choice of a game to rotate
Successful hate watch
The next two matches are Leeds & Fulham as well lmao
Crazy he sat donaruma
He rested the main 11 for leeds at home
Hilarious Gimmickman Pep is
statement a bit strong word as how heavily rotated the citeh lineup was, but a good well earned win certainly for sure for them
Ok
Im here
Scourge didn’t say hi to me
Feels bad man but anyway, what a day of nothing but champions league
yay
we can win a game of football
even against the might norwegians
truly, juve heritage
I missed the UCL matches today cause of exams rip
Wish I bet on Leverkusen they were +800
Hello Sonic good sir
Aupa Atleti
almost 20 mins later🥀
I had left the channel lol
off topic I see
Nah i don’t think I have gone to off topic whole day today
One week ago
🔥🔥
Unreal
Word
After seeing my club flop hard at Stamford Bridge, reading this makes me feel better
Forca Chape ❤️
Why's Nike cooking
Apparently one of the six players that survived the tragedy actually scored the winning goal that promoted them 🥲
dont quote me on that though, I just saw it on tik tok earlier lol
Barca lost too 
😏
Beauty
Not really surprise if you change 10 players

Lamine yamal talks before match results:

King of Instagram
He was good against psg
Yow
Good
Let him keep speaking
Dog that barks doesn’t bite
where is the bus?
Give my guy the Instagram dor
praying i dont get kicked out
Hmm
Hes just inviting pressure
He thinks he looks cool while doing it
But he must know
It affects his game negatively
He's not going anywhere with his big ego
And not only himself hes inviting pressure on the team. Last season he got away with it due to good performances but this was bound to happen
Guy acting like they would have no pressure if Yamal didn't post shit
😭
This guy Yamal gets hate for anything nowadays
There’s always pressure
@restive jetty you are free to critique his game here
But the “king of Instagram” “instagram dor” is pretty low quality
Please read the pins, & critique him in a more mature way #football-lounge message
But posting adds more
Rather let me rephrase myself
It adds “UNNECESSARY” pressure
Naw you don't need to mate, bullshit
Some post isn't gonna put pressure unlike people you take it in the wrong way, like calling him "arrogant"
Hating him with the most lame reason
this is like a 1970s kit or smth bro
Classic vibes
Psg kits are buns tbh, frankfurt got the best kits this season
From when they existed maybe
Frankfurt got best of everything
You know ball as always 🔥
@radiant aurora i hope he keeps talking on insta 🤭
i missed all of yesterdays games 💔
idc how much coffee i drink today but im not missing todays games 🤞
Benfica won
That’s the most important match
When does Chelsea get a shirt sponsor again
i saw that one
the earlier ones
they are just flexing how rich they are

and in a few years they can't comply with EPL ffp because of a lacking shirt sponsor
Awful game yesterday to watch
I think they are in talks with companies, bur are waiting for the perfectly right opportunity & partnership
So many mistakes
I read sometime ago they want a very consumer focused brand to partner with
🚨@JacobsBen gives a front of shirt sponsor update on Chelsea and what route the club want to go down. [@GoldbergCFC]
Then u saw the main event
I have a great sponsor that would fit chelsea nicely
Mourinho wants to bring Benzema to Benfica this winter….
My beautiful club being destroyed
Sounds like the most obvious fake news ever unless it comes from a Tier 1 Journo
Benzema leaving his saudi millions to come back to europe doesn’t really make sense
I hope it is
I do NOT want him
Doesnt make any sense for him to return to europe that to Portugal as well
Maybe some Lyon return would be believable, but what connection does he even have with Lisbon & Benfica
He is retired from France NT as well
So not like he needs europe intensity for World Cup
I don’t want my club to be a retirement home regardless
So whatever mourinho wants
Hopefully it’s not finished players
He should focus on the academy
it was a lighthearted comment but infact jersey sponsoring usually generates a huge amount of money which does help to comply with ffp
i mean going for a consumer focused brand could be interesting but in their stead i wouldn't care and take the money
Oh okay, yeah they do need to find a sponsor better for ffp application
We are in November & they still haven’t signed a deal so I assume they are rather set on signing with a Consumer focused brand only
Maybe eventually they will give in & just take the money if they cant get a consumer focused brand to pay them what they need

Is Napoli not there
Done now

It goes to penalties I think

Omg Nice is so cooked ☠️
4-0 Porto
Remember going to Porto a couple years back
Who is ndjantou
Never heard of the lad
Because you don't watch Ligue 1.
You don't follow.
Just like everyone else.
hmmm no subs made by monaco
In fairness you hadn't heard of a player who's played 300+ PL games, 30+ games for England and played in Ligue 1 the other day😭
ansu fati seemed to be good at the beggining now he is just a benchwarmer
Who is this.
Ross Barkley
Yes, that's what I said
Yet has played way more in Ligue 1 than Ndjantou who you were condescending about someone not knowing
I watched and learned football through YT shorts what did you expect.
unexpected
Hi
Hi
Kompany don't let me down
gonna be interesting to see what mikel cooks up to stop bayern front 3
wait no luiz diaz
But Karl is there tho
yea more chance for him then ig
i though these conversations weren't allowed in this chat
Best bayern player
Actually the best midfielder in the world and it isn’t even close
So underrated
Way less PR yeah
Deserves way more praise than he gets
Dont start these unnecessary nonsense debates just to troll in here
Or if you have an actual valuable discussion on that topic present it properly
Handled thanks for pointing out
Alr bet
HT !
That Vitinha strike was so nice
will there be any surprises for this year?
Seems like it's gonna be a semis full of english sides
Second half
Yeah
Cause Spanish sides stand no chance with the way they're playing
Serie A sides not called Atalanta, Juventus, or Napoli also stand a chance
Bayern are looking good
And PSG is PSG
Simeone gets a yellow card
Bruh November 26 2025 will be the date to remember where ucl football peaked
That's in my bingo card
Sack slot
Gimmick men were doubting that Arsenal are the best team in Europe
Vitinha hat trick
I am dead
Had both vitinha and mbappe in my fantasy league
Bank
Same but I forgot to change captains before the match day and bad to go in with Yamal captain 😔
I would’ve made mbappe captain
My captain was mbappe
Lucky
Give bremen an extra million
We talking about Werder Bremen?
yes bro
Why
marvin ducksch is saving my team bro 🥹
Lmao
So far huh
And Liverpool still up there

Respectfully, this crazy
They didn't add us in that list as well
Shame
That 3-0 was a fluke
36yr Perisic doing numbers on Liverpool is hilarious
Huh?
1:04 am, gonna sleep after a loss smh
Gn gng
Night
you guys heard about the shef united asking shef wednesday for a merger?
Huh?
owners of sheffield united have asked sheffield wednesday to merge teams
will not happen tjo
Can imagine
hah when was the last time a football team merger even happened
Lwk no idea
Prob back in the early 2000s
speaking of, if you had to merge with one team, who would you merge with?
Good question
A very small team that has Adidas as a sponsor
But is completely dominated from us
Meaning bvb stays bvb
||(I just despise puma)||
I like them more than nike
Tbf Nike cooked up a lot of good stuff for us too
Nike was like the Adidas for us back then
Aside from a few kits that were just outright trash
I forgot we had Telekom as a sponsor
Front sponsor was funny
But the long sleeve version was crazy
Our first ever kit sponsors were adidas iirc 🤔
Most of the clubs first sponsor in the Bundesliga was Adidas iirc
I mean kinda expected when your national team is sponsored by Adidas too
Plus the brand being from Germany
Soo
Yh, dortmund first one was adidas too
It was a good kit too
I have it engraved in my mind
When you go out, and feel the gust of wind through your hands and hair, you'll look up and see what? The sky.
😭
only puma kit i like is ac milans 125 anniversary kit
Anniversary kits just hit different
Inter ain’t the same after that humiliating final
They've got a new manager now. I'd say give more time to Chivu
arsenal might end up winning the ucl 💀
but usual mbappe masterclass against teams outside top 5 leagues
lfc hatewatch successful 
Chances to go that deep in UCL,
Ordered by chances to win the whole tournament
I do not believe

Obviously these will fluctuate a lot between now & the end of the season lol
But these are the estimated probabilities from Opta as of now
yeah ok
but I just don't see arsenal winning ucl
sorry
These don’t factor stuff like history or “bottling”
I know
that's also the case for f1 simulators
Arsenal have the strong defence in europe & are most efficient statistically thats why they are first rn
true defence is solid
what I will say though
Everyone used to laugh & say Chelsea are never winning it till 2012
Same for City till 2023
Same for PSG till 2025
I didn't laugh at psg, I just didn't want them to
I didn't think it would be 5-0 tho
Well thats you personally
But most people between 2012 & 2025 mocked psg a lot for not getting over the line
Same for city between 2008 & 2023
& same for Chelsea before 2012
One day eventually arsenal will probably win as well 🤷
true
That can be this season, the next or 10 years later
So no need to really write off a team totally based on the past trophy count
they have been very solid this year
Chivu is doing well
Something about a club winning their first CL that changes things
it really takes them to next level
PSG after Lucho season is seen with brand new eyes
Idk arsenal already are one of the best clubs in the world
This isnt like PSG where their win came out of nowhere cuz no one thought they were gonna win the UCL after mbappe left
arsenal are seen as a historic english club that bottles all the time
that hasnt won a premier league in decades
They bottled once in the last 20 years 😭
no they bottled plenty of times with wenger too
also in UCL
there was one particular arsenal team that was fantastic, and they got knocked out by Guardiola Barca
they got to semis i think
and then there is the 2006 final
its been many finals and leagues lost ...
king of FA cup though
Losing a league =/= bottling a league
Their probability to win premier league is even more high
Oh no they're definitely winning the league
is bottling only when you have the lead and lose it?
Nearly 80% already
I'm struggling to think of one to be fair
Im not english native speaker
Yeah
No club is close to them in england
so some subtleties get lost on me sometimes
When you have the lead for an extended period of time and then suddenly lose it then thats what id consider bottling yes
Bottling is having a significant advantage where you really shouldn't lose it
ah yes, then my bad ur correct
Yeah more or less
Its fine
Arsenal lead 1-0 in a CL final but I wouldn't say that was bottling seeing as they played for like an hour with 10 men, a pretty big disadvantage
No wait, i think in Leicester season 15/16 they had the lead for a while
only one i can think o
of
the rest, they were just very close seconds
Nah
Leicester was top for almost whole of the second half
Arsenal in fact were third
It was a spurs & Leicester race
It was spurs that went tumbling that season
After Leicester won Spurs totally seem to gave up & finished third & arsenal got second
Only title bottle I can think of from Arsenal was 22/23
They were top for a while mid season then screwed it up to Leicester and ended up 3rd in a 2 horse race
But most of the season it was a spurs vs Leicester race
what an exciting season
i remember seeing leicester just bagging those 1-0 games
vardy scoring in and out
Im still praying on arsenal to somehow bottle the title id hate it if they actually won it
and the legend growing ever closer
i wonder why Leicester couldnt keep their league and UCL success to establish stability
unless we take it ofc
must have been quite some money coming in
i guess they arent big enough for it to mantain over time
Leicester lost just 3 games all seasons
2 to arsenal
1 to Liverpool
23 wins
12 draws
3 losses
makes sense tbh
Yeah almost got relegated lol
They lost kante and went to shit
UCL and league competition for a team with that little depth
Yeah
its a miracle they didnt relegate
They went till ucl quarters
They got to the quarters
Tbf
they did and suffered in the league for it
People were hoping they win ucl & get relegated at the same tile before their quarter final with atleti
look at Athletic Bilbao now at UCL and la liga
they dont seem to know what to pick
or villarreal
Because it would have been mad hilarious
third and solid in la liga, terrible in UCL
some teams cant handle both
only the big clubs can
Yeah you need depth to play so many intense games
Only the very big clubs have that much depth
Still somehow won europa lol
Last season from spurs was like a horror movie yet they still became a European winner
I think they beat United all 4 times that season as well
Which is why I thought we did so well last season.
Top 6 and CL QFs super impressive for us
u are a Villa fan correct?
its very impressive
Emery is a world class manager imo, but excels at semi big clubs with potential rather than top shelf jobs
what he did with Villarreal is nothing short of excellent
2 seasons in a row going deep in Europe AND fighting high in the league.
We saw with Newcastle last CL campaign, and MU/Spurs last season how difficult it can be to fight on both fronts
Hello fellas
I have a question
why is everybody saying that Di Maria is overrated lately ?
thats a general thing some RM and United fans throw out randomly
not really new
he did win a title with rosario central just now, so maybe that triggered some old pain for them :]
I'm a Real Madrid and Newell's fan 😭
Rosario Central is our rival
i do think he's a very good player historically speaking
even with his short and ineffective stint with us (juve)
it also keeps reminding me how weird the argentinian league structure is to me XD
Fermín is injured
hes not
what are your guys' genuine thoughts on Ruben Amorim
Haven’t seen anyone saying thay
Never go to football chat, they be saying anything
Someone said that in football chat?
Atleast don't take them seriously
Yeah
LeBron asked if anyone thinks Di Maria is overrated
classic football chat
Well due to my position of Director here I can’t say my honest thoughts on that
No comments I guess🤣

We don't judge 
Yup 🤷
Because people like to be "different" despite all of them being sheep
hi
New Daily Question:
It was created just now, nobody support it
yeah its very weird
i mean, its both sensible and not
title goes to whoever has the most points makes sense
but less so when you hold two knockout tournies as well
That doesn't make sense either. The Argentine league is divided into two groups that don't play against each other. It's like giving the title to the team that gets the most points in the Champions League group stage
yeah, that's true
wasn't aware that zone A/B never meet each other
thats really weird then
No
nope
but i will be watching the roma game
and even the porto one
is yours?
Yeah
Arguably the Most iconic football pic ever taken
My boyfriend wants to get a print for the spare room
Makes sense
U 2 are serie A fans too
Plus nostalgic serie A is such a vibe
Would look great
Neither are as iconic imo
If anything this one is more then those 2
the hand of god?
whenever i see the brasilian old man, im instantly there in the 7-1 game
I am talking photos
Not moments
The moment is more iconic sure
But the Mate x Costa pic is legendary
i mean i would also frame that and have it in my room
its fire
in that sense the pic itself is much cooler
plus since serie a is not as good anymore, it makes it almost a relic
a look into a very recent past thats not there anymore
yeah this one i remember seeing everywhere as a kid
one of the most recognisable pics i think
Serie A will always have weight because of it’s rich history
Prem dominates football now
But Serie A was special
yeah definitely
my dad says during the 90s the serie a was unquestionably the best
late 80s too
u had milan, inter and juve as world class , but also sampdoria, parma, lasio, fiore were all high level
i got to see mid 00s serie a ,thats the earliest ive watched
the calciopoli scandal, young slatan seasons moving around
the mourinho treble at inter, etc
oh and that legendary milan final against liverpool
1986-2006 Serie A was probably the peak of football
In the 11 UEFA Cup finals between 89 and 99, Italy had 14 teams reach the final and won 8 of them including 4 all Italian finals.
Crazy record.
Juventus probably had my father shed tears in those years
Until 97
maradona played in the best era football has ever seen
This is my favourite ever photo taken in football
I fucking hate Scottish football now 😭
Sadly nomination period has ended
How did it work?
I can explain that in #off-topic
Sure
The French Liverpool
Marseille is Portuguese 🎋
Fire kit

2007/08 away

I am still not over with the fact that this Dutch team couldn’t win the World Cup
They won Euros at least
