Opta pulled the plug, ended their deal with them
So they don't have the data they used to
😐
Fotmob should team up with opta
They can monopolize on it
Fifa blocked it
Opta signed a deal with them
FBref had too much good data so it was very helpful for gamblers
I think they already have opta data
Just slightly limited in comparison to fbref
I meant exclusively
Thats never happening unfortunately

Indeed really an unfortunate world we live in
🚨 BREAKING: Prestiani is considering filing a complaint against Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe with UEFA, FIFA and the Portuguese judiciary, requesting the initiation of criminal prosecution.

If yall want a tactical analysis i'm here to do it lads
Well today we are probably talking about one of the best teams on the oceanic continent at the moment, that is, Melbourne Victory. To better understand the game of the Australian giant and how they manage to move between the lines we need to understand their game off the ball, that is, in the pressing phase then Melbourne Victory plays in a 4-3-2-1, that is, a formation that could look like a tree of Christmas if it weren't for the third midfielder who turns into an attacking midfielder so it's more, if the opposing team has a three-man defence,of a 4231 method (also widely used by European coaches) to create an overload in the opponent's defense (being in a four-on-three situation and being most of the time that the normal midfielder becomes advanced a situation where the defense is very far from the goalkeeper unless they give up making the move it is very likely that they will lose the ball).
@round estuary
Wait let me screenshot I'll tag you and give you my opinions.
I couldn't find "on the ball" tactical recognizable patterns, i'm sorry
But there are various
New Daily Question:
Hello
Grimaldo is absurd.
overrated af defensive line
Seemed so good because Ter Stegen somehow had hit another’s prime randomly
italian football is down the drain
I just miss the days.
Will be a big loss for whole of serie a if none of the clubs reach ro16
Less ucl revenue for all of them this season then
Make it better by Italy not qualifying for wc
And less broadcasters will be interested in the league too as non league supporters won't be interested in watching it
So sad indeed
A 40 year old Modrić is legit dominating the Serie A.
Highly likely

Shot-stopping is not real tbh
Oblak was the greatest shot-stopper of all time and randomly had an extremely dogshit season that wiped out half of his career shot-stopping overperformance
Reverse De Gea
repping bodo if we bottle the lot
Atalanta & Juventus both need big remontadas tonight
2015-2021 Oblak was the great wall
2020*
No
2020/21 was his last great season
He fell off from 21/22 onwards
Yeah so 2021 is a bit iffy to include

You can't even say he just fell off
Welcome @heady knot. Please [read this](#football-lounge message)
Because 22/23 was good

Average tbf
Oblak in general after 2021 hasn’t had an insane shot stopping season
So it was really a fall off only
His performance has declined a lot unfortunately
If the rumours of Simeone and Griezmann leaving are true Atleti mighr end up in a bad state
Depending on who takes over
also never had a season even close to as bad as 21/22
so
21-22: insanely negative
22-23: slightly positive
23-24: negative
24-25: Insanely negative
25-26: hovering around 0
2015-2021 he was a net positive shot stopper every single season that too best in the world level
Simeone isn't a bad manager but he is unpredictable asf and uses the same tactics a lot
24/25 -4.2 is nowhere near 21/22 -10.9
griezmann is alright but il be surprised if simeone leaves 
You have to be REALLY bad to get to -11 almost
Still bad
Yeah he fell off hard in 21-22
I think it's time for him to leave
-4.2 is like the third worst keeper in any league any given season, -11 is one of the worst of all time
Right after a season where he was arguably there best player in a league title
Although it will be very weird seeing someone else coach Atleti
Yes he was awful
unless atleti have the PERFECT replacement he shouldnt leave
Yeah and he's never been anywhere close to as bad after, which just goes to show my initial point of shot-stopping being unreliable and very prone to variance
I would like to see managers like Tuchel or Klopp coach atleti
No such thing as a consistently overperforming shot-stopper
he is the main reason atleti are able to keep with with madrid and barca i would say
which is why you want to be in a position to optimise for goalies who are consistently good at every other aspect of being a goalie
It is prone to variance
But in general he is clearly past his peak as well as seen in 2021-2026 period in comparison to 2015-2021 period
idk none of them have coached a spanish side before
but klopp maybe could work
He rebuilt the team, a lot of people think that if he was to leave they would collapse but I disagree. They have managed to maintain quality for the last 15 years
Then again it really depends on who they put in charge
that as because of simeone
now even if they replacxe simeone it would take atleast a whole season to adapt and ''maybe'' reach simeone's level
also simeone being in he club for a long time brought in the players who fitted perfectly towards his system and now they would also have to adapt
i think they should not let him go unless simeone himself forces the exit
and very less proven managers out there with simeone's qualities and mentality
👏
what a run
they where very good in the europa league too last season
reached the semis and where finally beaten by spurs
will abolishment extra time and go straight to penalties in knockout competition ever happened ? and do you agree with this abolishment ?
you mean away goal rules ?
Oh this is some exclusive chat ?
Yes.
For tactics ??
im also confused away games being removed ?
They better not remove it. It's the UEFA Comeback league.

banter/troll free chat
what does this even mean
tf you mean remove away games 😭
everyone plays at home now 🙁
I don't fucking know how to explain that.
I understood what u meant
Yea it's only for knockouts now
Oh you mean like they got rid of reverse fixtures in the league stage
What do you guys think?
Whats the difference between #football-chat and #football-lounge
football chat is, well, more the insane part
Lots of dumb discussions etc...
Here it will be more civilized
This is a space for mature, calm, and high-quality football discussions, a place where debates stay respectful, insights matter more than noise, and everyone contributes to keeping the atmosphere enjoyable.
ai
nah description
i mean the tldr is that this is just a much better chat anyway 😭
The takes in football chat rn are actually amazing
so fb chat is full of dumb ragebaiters and lounge is more chill good takes
palmer gets in imo
and rj>trent
we might see gordon over rashford tbh
Or Gordon yes
wouldn't work for Kane
itll be rashford or gordon
Kane is very versatile, it'll work
unforts i think the chances of both reece and trent being available for any given wc game is quite low so it may not matter
No, he struggles a lot without runners flanking him
versatility is irrelevant
especially for england in euros+WCs his output from open play has been quite poor
Exactly, so let him drop back a bit and link up play like he has been doing very well at Bayern. Bellingham provides a very real goal threat, as can Palmer if you play him
walk with me
this is england's perfect setup but tuchel isnt woke enough
Not to mention the clear creative upgrade Rogers provides over Rashford imo
nah rogers is quite poor creatively on par with rashford
This is what I said yeah just with Foden
Better than playing Rashford wide and Kane 9 I'd say
agreed tbh even with palmer instead of foden
fr
not poor exactly
but not what you expect from an amf
tuchel is gonna make bellingham and rice go up to join the attack anwyas
he offers crazy workrate and good overall play tho
yeah ofc how is that relevant
id genuinely start current palmer over saka tbh
saka is good in 1v1s and does quite well for england
but palmer should be played more
came on as a sub and scored for us in the euros final
didn’t really mean much tho since we lost in the end
Why would you play Palmer on RW and ask Kane to create at the same time though
isnt that similar to bellingham playing up to
They're gonna occupy the same exact space in the end
genuinely woudlve won yall the euros
if southgate wasnt dumb enough to bench him
also tuchel might be chelsea biased lwk
oh
True but I think Rashford is a better player and adds more to the game, better x factor as well.
New Daily Question:
"better x factor"
Nothing wrong with that, assisted vs PSG at a crucial time, his FA Cup final goal, brace vs Newcastle, he's simply more proven than Gordon in big games and can decide the game better in moments.
Oh yh, the one that in England has 3 goals and 2 assists in 26 games
Exactly
I think they mean probably Tuchel bias or something, if we talk about performances Rashford is the clear cut choice to start for England.
Gotcha mate
"big games" and "x factor" is vibes-based and not analytical.
look at which teams each of them have played for so far and how many semis, finals and big games each of them have even had the chance to play in. Look at how many bad performances Rashford has put out in "big games". It's just not a serious mode of analysis
Rashford has 18 goals in a decade of playing for England I don't think this helps your case
what is this
away goal rules i think
Away goals are now no longer a thing bro
he want it to be back ?
if not i can't make sense what he meant
A Minecraft server.
No way it was a weird rule
It's still known very well Rashford is a good big game player and is more proven on those grounds than Gordon, he's been better this season it would be a shame if he doesn't play over Gordon.
The discord football Minecraft server
but why is there a football minecraft server nobody gonna play it
ideas > players
Huh?
im gonna speedrun beating the enderdragon on it
Who wants it to be back?
Don’t think UEFA or FIFA have any plans for it
Never heard of any rumours about it

Italy's definitely not getting the extra qualification spot this year
theres a mc server? holy shit
WAIT BENFICA WON?
ohnvm they didnt
Wait, who has the dragon egg?
Yes
if messi played at roma maybe he would have won more than 1 serie ass title and 2 coppa italia's
like look, totti was a great player and all but we cant be comparing him with messi
I dunno. too many what if. It's like if Messi joined man United how many epl or ballon dor could he have won
I think Messi will succeed at Serie A
Not so sure about EPL
As great as Messi is he need a decent supporting cast
laliga was better than epl back then so
hot take: even now he'd be one of the best players there
alongside modric
Have you seen his record against pl clubs in the UCL
I think he'd do just fine lol

Makes me feel so old
Mine was 1994. That baggio pk miss was really heart breaking
Actually even he didn't miss and Brazil score the next Italy is still out but at least he won't be blamed as scapegoat

1 big chance created
4/5 successful dribbles

Hope he joins Barça some day.

What was the song for that WC?
what a trio
Un'estate italiana
composed by the great giorgio moroder
man ts was at like 5 am
Didn't care much for that one. Lacked that celebrating vibes
it was also the first world cup song
the world cup 98 game had peak music
first time i remember people felt kinda ripped off by EA
as there was a fifa 98 game and in summer they released a full price game for the world cup
Crazy indeed
2010 & onwards world cups had advantage of internet being mainstream

no de jong for barca in the copa del rey, now let's see if people realize just how much they rely on him
You do know that if Simeone loses this game he's sacked yh ?
Atleti are never sacking simeone
especially mid season
If he ever leaves it will be at the end of the season himself or by a mutual agreement to move on
There is not really any good reasons to sack him anyway

ended 9-0
Or an incredibly bad loss
No chance
He is their best ever manager
They wont make him leave mid season
Whenever he leaves it will be an end of season departure coupled with a celebratory event at metropolitano only
Yeah after he became manager they started to win european trophies and league
And also qualifying for ucl
They won Europa league a year before he came as well
But yeah he made them a stable good team
Before him there were very irregular
He has made them finish top 4 every single season since 2012-13
Winning 2 league titles in the procedure
Two europa leagues, 2 uefa super cups, a copa del rey & a supercopa as well
Took them to two ucl finals as well, & makes them have UCL football every year
For a club with so mauvh instability before hand that is huge
Not to mention the constant spending arguments over the last 2-3 seasons are pretty silly as well
Their wage bill isn’t that huge at all
They spend relatively less on wages in comparison to Madrid & Barcelona so it very much evens out

what does that even mean

its gonna be a tough month for them

damn
finally gets a couple of goals and people say that 🥀
Fr
oh wait he scored a hattrick 😭
Yh, ik but BETTER THAN DI MARIA?
Are we deadass
@agile moss 
Nah nah, there are Barcelona fans who genuinely think that😭
ye they dont know what they where talking about then
i missed the second half
should have watched maybe
this is his first career hatrick no ?
Yess
ramadan yamal built diff
Aren't we all
yamal is definitely already better than di maria
there is nothing di maria has over him
actually, di maria was faster. that’s it though
Di maria isn't that fast man
Why is barca playing good
Why is this happening
I had my hopes up for a few days and then we bottled the league and now barca is back in form?
you can't "bottle" the league if it wasn't in your control in the first place
It was for a few days ig
And then came osasuna
there was never a point in this season or the last where madrid winning the league was likely
it has consistently been in barca's hands
It wasn't but there was a time after we bottled the first time that we were in the lead
to "bottle" means to give up a position in which you had a very good chance of winning something
there was never a time this season or in the last where madrid had a very good chance of winning the league
Actually there was a point where we were in a good lead
but we still never had a good chance of winning
madrid has simply been too inconsistent
the reasons we were ahead weren't because we played well
barca play better football, are more complete, and their losses are more one-off incidents or due to injuries
you rarely see them have a string of mediocre football and the same can't be said for madrid

New Daily Question:
what do you guys think about wearing jerseys that arent your clubs?
Nothing wrong with it
Im currently doing that lol
idk just feels like i an cheating when i do it 😂
If the jersey is fire know damn well im getting it
Only exception is rivals jersey i'd say
agreed
maybe also the same league
I mean if u for example support someone from italy but get venezia's jersey i wouldnt say its a bad thing
I said venezia cuz their jerseys are probably best itw
But buying ur rival's jersey is kinda contradictory
last time out bought a juve jersey
really really nice
really beautiful
oh shit somehow the price went up
Yeah u are a Liverpool fan i reckon
So buying a jersey that u really like just like that juve one doesnt matter
U are just a collector
stuff i refrain from buying are madrid, united, and everton
i love bournemouth pink kit
Yeah ue local rival,ur league rival and the biggest thieves in football
I can see it
See thats what i like the most,teams that arent that big nor are supported by many ppl
Having their kits makes collection unique
love them man
Totally fine
Unless they are a rival team of yours
Not a big deal otherwise
Yeah getting their kit is mandatory then

Not reading it
yer 'ard
Yh fairs
i feel thats fine as well
nobody cares
One day I forgot my Real Madrid shirt and sadly I borrowed a barcelona's kit.. that day I scored an own goal but still won the game
It's acceptable if it's pretty and it's not your rivals
If it's your rivals...
It's okay if it's not with your friends
otherwise yeah you're literally termed worse than Luis Figo
Minimalism is taking over football logos
I really miss the old Liverpool one 😭 Not saying the new one's bad
But the old one was so beautiful
At least not as bad as juventus logo imo
that one is iconic ngl
They changed it to this?
city's old one is also better than the new one imo
Now these are actual logos/crests
The current badge is basically their classic badge tho

I'm not wearing a spurs top
Tbf it's because the prem has a bunch of mini rivalries

All big 6 teams essentially have a beef & dislike for each other to some degree so that also comes under the branch of rival teams more or less

Its gonna end up in the same category as exclusive soon
You are the guys who can change that ;)

La liga - Rayo Vallecano in relegation battle
Serie a - Fiorentina in relegation battle
Bundesliga - Wolfsburg, werder bremen in relegation battle
Ligue 1 - Lens title contenders
Eredivisie - Downfall of gha and rise of nec
Liga Portugal - Porto dominating the league
Joopeeler pro league - STVV title contenders
Elekstrelea (or wtv u call the polish division) - Legia relegation battle
Superliga - Copenhagen currently in relegation round
Swiss pro league - Thun title contenders
Oh and brazilian league: flamengo boutta sack their manager 😭
And in rsa Orlando pirates is first

We already had some good ones in Scandinavia
Eliteserien - Viking first title in 34 years.
Danish Superliga - Aarhus leading the Championship round, no title since 1986.
Allsvenskan - Mjallby won their first ever title.
genuinely insane from flamengo
How and why
Literally
Small club mentality
Apperantly is because from losing the supercopa do Brasil and the Conmebol recopa final
But like
He’s literally won them a ton of trophies from the span of 2024 to 2025 which I don’t get it
Whos gonna replace him..
So far I don’t know who
Brazilian clubs are always very prone to sacking coaches quickly
Copenhagen in relegation round is bigger than arhus leading the champs round cuz midtjylland cld win the title in the title groups
🚨🗣️ 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: Ruud Gullit is RIPPING into the current game of football!
︀︀
︀︀"I have decided to STOP watching football. I don't enjoy our sport anymore. I watched Arsenal vs Chelsea, what an absolute GARBAGE match of football!"
︀︀
︀︀"I see players trying to create corner kicks, trying to create throw-ins, I see ball boys ready to give towels to the players. Football has become absolutely HORRIBLE. I hope that this is not the path we are heading at."
︀︀
︀︀"I am waiting for players who will take on defenders again, someone like Lamine Yamal. I am missing the joy! I just don't enjoy football anymore."
︀︀
︀︀"Everyone is executing tasks on the pitch. Where are the players dribbling? Where are the players with b*lls? WHY IS EVERYONE PASSING?! PASSING! PASSING! PASSING!"
He's correct.

100 days to go for the world cup #11-days-to-go message
You too
Nope
😭
London or Rome

lusail cancelled 
will prolly happen in wembley tho
neutral
or rome yea
Rome doesn't meet uefa standards itself so would they even conduct a well known friendly there 🤔
Probably Wembley or Bernabeu would be better
bernabeu wouldnt be neutral then
That's true totally forgot about that
Bernabeu 🤣🤣🤣
Wembley then
i don like wembley
Sorry bro
I just thought you won't like seeing messi or barca players lifting the trophy in ur stadium
In front of ur fans
messi back in his play ground
i don mind it
I can't bro
This made me predict my country our from round of 16
Even round of 32
its been 45 days bro 💔
u cant give up
atleast not yet
One day. One day, you're gonna wake up, eat your breakfast, brush your teeth, go about your business. And sooner or later you're gonna realize you haven't thought about it. None of it. And that's the moment you realize you can forget. When you know that's possible, it all gets easier @kind meadow
this day will come
dont worry
Dw I'm not watching this team anymore
I said it before if they don't win it I'm giving up on them
Just imagine they will play next international break without a manager 😭
💔
why they wanna sack walid
Wembley would be better imo

He's leaving yeah
😔💔
What happen man?
He said this "if I don't win afcon I'm gonna leave"
Its a high capacity & modern stadium
Make it happen in bernabeu
Last time you went there you came back sad
This time whatever happens you will be happy
I wasn’t sad
😐
I was munching food 💀
Almost all game long
Ik bro I was just laughing the fact that messi at bernabeu again
👏
Yamal scored in bernabeu in the October 2024 clasico as well
Yesh
But how about barca players lifting trophy in front of their fans and in their stadium
It will mostly be tourists
Instead of actual local people
Coming for that game
Real
My body was like cold and shaking the last few minutes of this game
How barça fans were feeling when guirassy hit the 3rd goal:
Congratulations atletico madrid on winning the Copa del Rey
After 13 years if they do it
But we didn't concede
Unlike you guys
That's the difference

Rodrygo's dead
Damn. ACL plus knee. That's his career done, I think
he plays for Real Madrid
there is zero doubt to the fact that he will recieve the best treatment in the world
He will heal, but it will never be 100%.
also who tf is real madrid fitness coach
got rehired and caused an acl immediately
tottenham finna sign this guy
Pretty sure we conceded AFTER the 3rd goal so my point stands
And even if that isn't correct
Majority of Barcelona fans I've seen here were doubting their lead would stay
Okay
I get you

what's the best place for an American to get an authentic England kit?
🚨 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡: FIFA will sell World Cup playoff tickets for as low as $17.
︀︀
︀︀· FIFA is implementing a "dynamic pricing" model where ticket costs fluctuate based on real-time demand, similar to airline or hotel bookings.
︀︀
︀︀· While this allows for low-cost entry to some matches, prices for high-demand fixtures are expected to rise significantly as availability decreases.
😭
they are getting desperate atp

9th highest revenue in the world & they are in a tight relegation battle
If Tottenham get relegated it will be the most embarrassing thing by a major European club in modern football history
There stadium looks the best in the prem imo
Its an amazing modern stadium yes
But that wont really save them from relegation
9th highest revenue in the world being so close to relegation is plain absurdity
So much money yet so poor squad building
No idea if the coaches are to even blame for it anymore
Tottenham's motto: To dare is to don't
62nd birthday for our idol
From Europa League winners to championship relegation fighting team
None will talk about west hame being in the top 20 and in a relegation battle yh ?
From conference league winners to Championship
West Ham’s situation is also embarrassing
But less than spurs
He still looks as young as ever I can't even lie
sixty twoth birthday
if spurs do get relgated
i wonder how many players they have to offload
for the wage caps
They should hire borderlas
Taz is insane

I wouldn't know but Kane's npg numbers are a lot less impressive than his g+a numbers
Damn imagine taking pens away from the main pen takers in the team
Ofc its gonna be less impressive
Exactly
Kane has like 15 pens this season
Whats the point of doing that
Comparing goalscoring
No
Bundesliga 25/26 npg p90:
Kane - 0.92 "Best season of all time"
Undav - 0.86 "Rando prem flop"
Dont even start comparing them 2 cuz kane is so clear
i mean you probably have to consider that dortmund has no other goal scorers other than guirassy ig
Can we stop npg thing
When u compare 2 players who are their team's main pen takers
ironic considering how haaland was the only one scoring for them at the start of the season
Kane is so good at pens he still hasnt missed a single one in BL
Yeah he had a crazy good start of the szn
Why?
Yeh Kane is great at pens
Cuz haaland is the main pen taker
In his team
he has 3 pens tho lol
You're irrational 👍🏼
He gets to take way fewer penalties as well
Nope im comparing 2 strikers and their goals
The amount of penalties kane has got this year is indeed absurdly high
Penalty scoring and goalscoring are different skills
Harry Penalty Kane
Not as bad as Mbappe tho
Just cuz bayern gets so many pens cuz of fouls inside the box doesnt make kane worse than haaland
Just cuz bayern gets so many pens cuz of fouls inside the box doesnt make kane better than haaland
Kane has much more to his game than haaland
Yeah like getting outscored by Guirassy and Schick 🔥
Don't even have to say anything else 😂
Put haaland in that spurs team and he will not even sniff 20 goals a season let alone anything else
Kane is literally the most complete striker of our gen
Its a shame that he gets compared to that norwegian bum
Who is 6 years younger and still cant outscore him
He broke UCL goalscoring records at RB Salzburg 😭😂
What ucl records
Lmaoo
1 Bundesliga goal = 0.6 PL goals
Cba honestly
Kane's record of fewest games to 20 CL goals
Kane doesn't have a single Bayern season with a better goalscoring rate than 20/21 Haaland btw
Haaland is definitely a better goalscorer than kane
Kane has more to his game though sure
Better link up play
This szn he will outscore haaland
Not even gonna run Haaland prop rn tbf he's been so shit in 2026
Depends on what u mean by that cuz kane is better finisher defo
No, Kane is an excellent finisher but Haaland has better numbers
He can finish from everywhere
We've seen some outside of the box finishes by kane that were truly amazing
I dont see haaland scoring goals like those
Haaland is more of a box player
a box player who gets caught offside far less often than complete kane 🤔
food for thought Mico
respect haaland
What does that even have to do with my statement
Lmao
I do respect him but i cant take serious ppl who try to compare him with kane
In the past ppl pushed haaland vs lewa debate also
Like let the dude get to his 30s
And lets see what actually happens
Sigh, how many times do I have to send this before you stop this "kane is a next level god" gimmick
Exclude penalties ☝️🤓
Cant even take u serious ngl
City fans are shameless af
Cool distraction kid I have to look outside the windows now
I remember back in the day spurs fans used to gas Kane to the galaxy, saying he is better than lewandowski because lewandowski is mainly a box player & bayern fan used to get offended
Now kane is there player & there opinions have flipped heavily
Just shows bow tribalistic football is
Lewa is better than kane as a pure st but kane is a better player overall
Simple as that
People 99% of the times will prefer the player who plays/played for there team in player debates
Lewa is actually the most clinical striker out of all strikers from this gen
Lewa kept flirting with real and barca every single year, Kane pushed and begged so hard to join Bayern and has vocally been very very happy there. It's understandable
My point was more so that in player debates people will always just back the guy who plays for them or played for them
Most of the time
Still I have noticed the farther from Bavaria they reside the more they say Kane over Lewa 😆
True
Most of ppl yeah
Too subjective
If kane leaves without winning a ucl their opinions will probably change again
I see it live with citeh
Its just the ppl who arent objective
Haaland Agüero (obviously Haaland better but they speak like the gap is of 100x)
Rodri Ferna
Bernardo David

🚨 BREAKING: FIFA will allow broadcasters to cut away to ads during cooling breaks at this year’s World Cup. @TheAthleticFC
NBA and NFL all over again
🥀
Money 🤑
Happens in other sports so i am used to it ngl
But still disappointing to see it get in football as well
are they getting relegated?
cooling breaks are only a few minutes long, if the ads aren't thirty seconds or less each, they'll be blocking actual gameplay
I am pretty sure they will be very short ads
