Does Olise still love & respect Palace

[hexed python]

since hes shown the most emotion there im guessing yeah

https://tenor.com/view/michael-olise-michael-olise-kitchen-belllyian-kmlsmira-gif-7600921691277883992

genuinely had vro cooking and playing chess

ig hes still cooking tho

[true wadi]

Doing it for fun only not being a fan

[dusky crypt]

There is just too cool going from a minor team --> mid team --> super team.

Perfect career path

[hexed python]

🫩

[dusky crypt]

When a mid team get throphys its even cooler ❤️

[neat yacht]

nope, staying at a super team till retirement is the best career path

getting into la masia -> promoted to the senior team and staying as a starter for 15 seasons

[eager lance]

Utd basically financed the fee for Olise

[flat moth]

De Ligt😭

[eager lance]

And mazz

[flat moth]

Bro hasn’t improved at all since 2019

[dreamy ravine]

De ligt on his day was the best defender in the world, holy class

[marsh canyon]

He was good at Juventus and Ajax

[flat moth]

Overrated at juventus

There’s a reason they made a loss on him

[bronze dagger]

yo

wassup

[stuck gulch]

I do remember someone pointing out how many managers De Ligt has been through and maybe that being a reason it's hindered his development.

[bitter crypt]

Most people wanted this to be so

[granite notch]

No opposite

We are glad that aint AI

[bitter crypt]

Champions of Europe now relegable

[bitter crypt]

Yeah ik

But no more North London derby and St Totteringham's day

[flat moth]

Perhaps

[remote snow]

he was a fool to believe juve wanted him for real. they wanted him to mismanage their books.

it's always something with juve

and de ligt himself doesn't realize how he needs to play to be a top CB. i'd argue he has bad entourage.

[south helm]

De Ligt can be good for Man United

In my opinion
It's agresive and have good mobility

[stuck gulch]

He was decent for us (bayern) but we emphasized focus on other defenders at the time.

[stuck gulch]

Tbf the deal would have been appealing for most players in the world at the time, Juve was so dominant at the time and performing well in europe along with the fact that there were veteran defenders who could maybe help him. Didn't work out obviously.

[fervent herald]

If you showed me this 3 years ago I'd say your crazy

[bitter crypt]

Would've said the same yeah

[flat moth]

A club with such world class facilities & the 9th highest revenue in world football getting relegated will be so crazy

[charred wharf]

Lmaooo

[stuck gulch]

This is hilarious but you are probably gonna get warned 💀 🤣

[ocean zealot]

Okay that's absolutely hilarious but yeah let's not 😭

i thought it was fake but its real

[dusky crypt]

Never check a good stadium

[little hedge]

who has better chance to win tomorrow Barca or Atletico?

[torpid halo]

Simone Inzaghi vs Roberto Mancini in Asian Champions League

Mancini's Al Sadd won

[graceful marten]

is this real?

[glad delta]

So this seems remarkable

[granite notch]

atp the relegation fight is more fun than the actual title race

nr 5 is 34 points behind nr 1

holy fucking shit

[glad delta]

That does not bode well for all but four teams in LaLiga holy fun kind of ass

[civic glacier]

😭

7 man relegation battle

[sterile forge]

If barca attack more they might break atletico's defence, on the other hand, If atletico won't park the bus and score 1 more goal barcelona is done.

Still 50/50 for both sides for me

Also Bernal and Cubarsi won't play which is another problem at defence for Barcelona

[tacit dagger]

stealing gimmicks now you cheats?

[tacit dagger]

Bernal not playing shouldnt be a problem because De Jong is back

[stark oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/antoine-griezmann-griezmann-grizi-grizou-atletico-madrid-gif-496745564031952391

[tacit dagger]

As for Cubarsi hes easily replaceable with Araujo because both have 2 brain cells anyways

[sterile forge]

Pray that de jong won't cost yall the game.

Btw al sadd won their respective league today cuz their title contender rival lost today in the league match

Also the team that lost to al ahli today

[barren gull]

wait whys it only one leg

AFC not even hiding it atp

reminds me of the world cup qualifiers

we knew they favoured qatar/saudi but now we know they love saudi even more than qatar

wait there were 2 legs for the eastern side

Low-key bro I let the cleats get to me just recently. I got my first ever pair of cleats dude and I came to the Sunday league thinking I was prime Messi and started doing all sorts of crazy shit somehow getting past people, but at the very last minute, I kept taking heavy touches and tackling my own teammates. I don’t know what the hell I was doing

I don’t know what was going on I was just moving the ball around 😭😭😭

[lusty bay]

Hello

Hello

Foreign players policy changing lives

[keen drum]

what you mean?

[formal fiber]

Weren't they both born in America but have Bangladeshi roots?

[keen drum]

yea

[formal fiber]

So the policy of allowing foreign players with country roots to finally be implemented is huge for Bangaldesh. First Hamza and now the brothers

[keen drum]

yea true but iam still frustrated at BFF because they say they are gone sign more foreign players and they don't do any shit

[formal fiber]

Aiff is even more ass, they have implemented the policy but zero players to show for it

[keen drum]

@formal fiber i have two quastions if i become a bot developer or designer will i get any role for it? and what does design team do?

[fleet gust]

I'm honestly sad we didn't even attempt to go for Lookman in Jan

Would've been perfect to counter Semenyo's signing

[formal fiber]

No, there's no special role for bot developer
Designer as the name suggests does graphic designing for the server

[keen drum]

does graphic designer have special role?

[formal fiber]

No

[keen drum]

it would be a good idea if they had can you suggest it to the server owner or whoever that can make role?

Can't tell if it's a church or a steeple

I'd say steeple tbh

Might be the one on the High Street

Here's the older badges

I'd say Dunfermlines old one looks better than the current one

Tony Watt vs Barcelona 2012

The current one, with the white trim

What does touch ane - touch a mean?

They should, but its probably to do with manufacturer contract or something

[tranquil abyss]

Meh

[barren gull]

How is that a red

[tranquil abyss]

Mateus Cunha yesterday

[barren gull]

I swear that isn’t even a foul

[wide cloud]

Honestly it was a great match with very questionable refereeing at times
But Simeones tactics must've paid off because up until tbe 64th minute barcelona had full control of the midfield and after that Atleti regained it and absolutely dominated the game

[split sluice]

Honestly I’m gonna retire from watching UCL

[barren gull]

A touch on the arm doesn’t make u dive like that

[split sluice]

No like seriously

[barren gull]

[wide cloud]

yeah watching the UCL is more fun as a neutral

[barren gull]

This refereeing man

[tough parcel]

bro

i said

it

[wide cloud]

it was very questionable, it made no sense for that to be VAR checked but not the push on Olmo in Atleti's area, he was pushed with both hands lol

[barren gull]

Exactly

[vapid crypt]

Deserved win for Simeone‘s men

[hazy kite]

i can't say i watched either leg between atleti and barca but considering it's atleti i assume this still aged well

[barren gull]

That’s what I’m sayin

[wide cloud]

Atleti didnt even get a yellow card this entire match and they were bringing players down the entire time

[barren gull]

Always against us

[tranquil abyss]

Keep the main chat closed, please 😭

[barren gull]

Broad daylight man

You saw that right?

Tbh I feel like the right decision was made

[stark oriole]

Y QUE FUE

[tranquil abyss]

People are fucking desperate to start slandering each other

[charred wharf]

Atleti are making the final

[barren gull]

It was such a light touch. Compare that to Olmo being pushed by two hands in the box

[olive shell]

thank u atleti

[barren gull]

Either they both fouls or none

The double standards when it’s Barca is what hurts

Anyway, two of my least favourite teams in the semis

As much as I hate Arsenal I’d rather have them over Atleti

[wide cloud]

oh yeah the red card was a red card no doubt about that after i saw he was onside. But not checking Olmo's potential penalty? From my POV there was enough contact for that to be a pen i mean he got double handed pushed from the back

[raw lark]

He tried to make it iconic 😭

[wide cloud]

even i can tell you this refereeing was utter shit and i say this as a neutral thats leaning towards atleti due to the argentine players presence

[ocean folio]

Can't blame him
He was literally carrying them

[wide cloud]

and speaking of argentine players presence i can't WAIT for the world cup all my players are in form except for Dibu and Cuti Romero who got injured

[dusty totem]

This stupid team always gets red cards!

[ocean folio]

That red card was a light push
Can't believe that's a fucking red

[charred wharf]

Never a red tho

Imo

[dusty totem]

You can't see them play 11v11 against a big team! Never!

[ocean folio]

Barca fetish with red cards

[wide cloud]

its one of those things that would've never happened without the invention of VAR honestly, before VAR i bet that would've been a yellow at the worst

[charred wharf]

Still think barca wouldve lost either way

[raw lark]

True

[olive shell]

they said they can win the ucl with la masia players

[raw lark]

Well he tried his best

[olive shell]

😂😂😂

[dusty totem]

Red cards FC.

[raw lark]

Now he has to focus on the league

[barren gull]

Atleti are the Inter from last year. They’ll go so far but go trophyless

Sociedad for the win on Saturday

[tranquil abyss]

Hearts get a red card almost every week

[dusky ore]

I’ve seen enough, give Arne slot a 7 year contract extension

[raw lark]

5-0 soon…?

[tacit dagger]

Where are my fellow Bayern fans at?

[ocean folio]

I was hatewatching them but the referee must be on a payroll with these decisions

[wide cloud]

i agree, after the 64th minute Atleti regained control of the midfield and you could tell it was their game from then on. As a matter of fact Barcelona was only dangerous after Araujo went in believe it or not he was closer than all the forwards

"i lost a bet gang"

[ocean folio]

Yeah long story short
Lost a bet

[wide cloud]

fair on you for honoring it

[exotic nest]

aaah ok

[dusty totem]

#football-lounge being active because #football-chat died 🔥

[wide cloud]

honestly i'll be here until tomorrow because the chat is gonna get very agitated

[rustic yarrow]

hi people of football lounge

[wide cloud]

i want to say a statement but i am pretty sure its gonna get me banned or muted

[barren gull]

Nice I can have a convo here without the “Varcelona got eliminated 🤣 🤣 🤣 “ trolls

[dusty totem]

DMs 🔥

[rustic yarrow]

can't believe barcelona are out

[exotic nest]

btw barcelona is completely and i mean completely full of talk no action , they really created hype like brother chill and focus but they instead thought advertising sh*t and losing is great

[rustic yarrow]

i really wanted barça to win ucl

[barren gull]

Yo my DMs r open

[exotic nest]

no i want both barcelona and real madrid eliminated

[barren gull]

We put an insane fight tbf

At the metropolitano

[exotic nest]

nah , it was moderate

[barren gull]

W/o Bernal and Raph + very late de Jong cameo

• shit refereeing

[wide cloud]

done

[wide cloud]

done

[exotic nest]

same excuse everytime we could have beaten atletico without bruno fernandes

[idle flume]

Fake Madrid

[ocean folio]

The second half watch was low-key fun

[tight ruin]

quite a low bar you've got

[exotic nest]

Hala Potosi

[fluid fox]

At least didn’t lose like the small Real

[tight ruin]

with all this hype i expected barca to even try

[wide cloud]

Real Potosi should host a friendly versus Barcelona SC

[barren gull]

Almost winning at the Metropolitano?

[idle flume]

True

[fluid fox]

As a neutral I must say, PSG did not deserve that win today

[tight ruin]

"almost" but you didn't

[idle flume]

I am broken that psg won

[ocean folio]

Dani olmo with that weak ass shot
I thought a rocket was coming

[fluid fox]

They are lucky that Liverpool didn’t have quality in the pen area

[exotic nest]

Hala Potosi Visca Barca SC visca peru

[dusty totem]

WHAT!

[idle flume]

slot tactics were elite

[barren gull]

It sucks to lose cuz I think we should’ve got a pen but I’m proud of how we played. If the first leg wasn’t shit

[tight ruin]

beating atletico in ucl quarters isn't for everyone ✌️

[dusty totem]

PSG had EVERYTHING to win!

[idle flume]

PSG was getting dominated

nope

[wide cloud]

this is the second time Liverpool dominates PSG at home and loses

[idle flume]

Liverpool was pressing hard

Unlike first leg

[wide cloud]

very unfort

how did Mac Alister play?

[idle flume]

Average

[wide cloud]

Arne Slot you bald fraud get my boy some training

[marsh canyon]

Assna are knocking out Atleti

[wide cloud]

we need him on top form for the world cup

[marsh canyon]

Simeone was struggling to break down that shit Barca defence

[idle flume]

sporting is an imposter

[marsh canyon]

These guys are getting blitzed in the semis

[idle flume]

I think Atletico and Arsenal will go to pens and Atletico will win

[wide cloud]

he took control of the midfield after the 64th minute which gave him the win imo, barca couldn't recover from that

[marsh canyon]

Just quick sim the UCL

[wide cloud]

idk last time Arsenal stomped on Atleti

[marsh canyon]

Only match I wanna see is bayern vs psg

Just quick sim everything else

[idle flume]

?

[fluid fox]

Look at that second half

[fierce fiber]

No ball knowledge

[idle flume]

No I didn’t hear it

I thought u were cussing bec Barca lost

[fierce fiber]

Ok then why ? Me 😭

[barren gull]

Bayerns the only good team left

Plz bring it to Bavaria

[fierce fiber]

U cant voice chat no

[idle flume]

sporting will lose 4-0 tomorrow

Arsenal first 6+ goal win

[wide cloud]

"Lenglet is good, we just dont know what he's good for"

[dusty totem]

Ok maybe PSG got a little dominated but still.

Safonov did a great great great work.

[fluid fox]

A 0:2 does not represent the game

[fluid fox]

Marquinhos

[wide cloud]

Julián Álvarez the true face of atleti 🤑

[dusty totem]

Marquinhos as well.

[wide cloud]

Not Pacho?

[dusty totem]

Everyone did a great j*b at defending.

Especially Safonov.

He did many good saves.

[thin bear]

Safonov not being MOTM it's a crime

[dusty totem]

Well Dembele who scored a brace actually stole it.

Knowing that Safonov did many saves.

The media also played a role there.

Because of his BO.

[cinder knoll]

Wasn't there a badge for lounge channel

Great, I have still got it

[vapid crypt]

It's crazy when you realize that Barcelona will never win the Champions League again

[barren gull]

That’s for football chat. Thought football lounge is where we have more sensible convos instead of brain dead Barca haters popping up

[quaint musk]

I just checked the pins of this channel to see what the difference is

[vapid crypt]

Let's have a respectful and calm debate about why your club is garbage

[quaint musk]

Oh wrong ping

[barren gull]

I don’t see why it is garbage actually. Enlighten me please

[quaint musk]

Oops

[quaint musk]

It's just ragebait obviously

[barren gull]

Yh ik. Still I wanna hear

[sharp cradle]

Probably because you just lost

[barren gull]

I wanna know why an Inter fan is calling Barcelona garbage that’s all

[vapid crypt]

You haven't win the Champions League in over a decade and haven't even made it to a final in a long time plus you will never win it again. Let's remain respectful here and respectfully analyze how bad Barcelona really is

[charred wharf]

Barca need to stop playing that stupid high line thats for sure

[barren gull]

1. The ucl is an insane achievement, shouldn’t be a garbage team if u can’t win it. 2. Making the final still isn’t winning it. 3. I don’t see how. Yamal is getting better, the rest of the youngsters getting better, it’s only time

[barren gull]

At the end of the day. The red cards cost us more than the high line.

[sharp cradle]

BvB?

How could you betray maidstone like this

[charred wharf]

Look they gave me a bunch of roles to pick from

I picked the one closest to looking like Maidstone

Mainly down to the colour

[sharp cradle]

Smh

Fake fan

[charred wharf]

Mate do you even go to st Andrews

[sharp cradle]

Yes

[charred wharf]

Do you go away

[sharp cradle]

Uh

[quaint musk]

It's crazy to think that Barca played with 10 men in both games, how can you receive 2 red cards

[jolly quartz]

Vitinha is the best midfielder in Europe and it’s no where near close. He dominated that game.

[barren gull]

Man it’s such light contact too. The attackers make a meal of it. regardless, there was contact so it’s dogso and a red

[vapid crypt]

Honestly, I think not even qualifying for the final in over a decade is pretty poor. A team that's about to get relegated in the Prem managed to get there and you didn't?
Also, it doesn't matter how many great youngsters you apparently have. You can't even do basic defending which is kind of a pillar of football. Get good

[charred wharf]

Tbf is it that hard to dominate Liverpool rn

They couldn't even beat spurs at anfield

[jolly quartz]

True but I’ve seen this little man do it so many times this season too

[barren gull]

I’d say we are better than most times itw.

[sharp cradle]

Oh yeah I forgot youre an underground spurs fan smh

[charred wharf]

Do you want another example instead

[sharp cradle]

Yeah go on then

[charred wharf]

They lost to WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

[vapid crypt]

I wouldn't count Barcelona to the elite of football clubs

[barren gull]

I mean I would considering we r about to win LaLiga

[fervent herald]

Kimmich deserves a shout tbh

[barren gull]

A better season than 90 percent of clubs

[dusky crypt]

Finally my server will be quiet of annoying Barca kids

[vapid crypt]

You continuously fail kinda early on the big stage tho. Not elite imo

[sharp cradle]

Who are they

[charred wharf]

Exactly

[barren gull]

Ig that’s fair. We need more experience

[charred wharf]

Id say barca are an elite side

[barren gull]

“My server”

[sharp cradle]

Barca are cheeks

[charred wharf]

Theyre better than 99.99% of football clubs

[sharp cradle]

Not better than us

[fervent herald]

The 1% being Bayern and PSG

[charred wharf]

Mate even spurs would beat you

[granite notch]

lounge.

[sharp cradle]

We have and would beat barca

[barren gull]

Anyway goal now is centurions

[dusky crypt]

Barca aint better then Elfsborg

[sharp cradle]

Hang on g

[dusky crypt]

or River Plate

[barren gull]

The mighty Elfsborg

[charred wharf]

Anyway its probably bayern or psg who win the UCL from here

[sharp cradle]

@charred wharf explain this #owned

[fervent herald]

Atleti can win it, They got a good attack

[charred wharf]

Fairs i cant beat that

[cosmic fjord]

Psg are so good. Liverpool biased commentators were trying to hype liverpool and the meme field too much

[dusky crypt]

Roma win over Barca in quarterfinals ----> later we win over Roma ---> Elfsborg better

[sharp cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/obafemi-martins-arsenal-birmingham-birmingham-city-blues-gif-13844607423005861925

[charred wharf]

Maybe

But i wouldnt back them to beat either of the 2 teams i mentioned

[fervent herald]

Power of Anfield (even though we lost)

[cosmic fjord]

Tommorow sporting knocking out arsenal

[wide cloud]

Even the most diehard Spurs fan will tell you they were lucky that time
Barely passed the group stages and only did so on goal difference
Won against a very unimpressive Dortmund but still fair to then
Were very inferior to Man City and only passed on away goals
Lucas Moura had to go super saiyan in order to beat Ajax (one of the best games i ever watched as a neutral only)
And finally lost to Liverpool

[sharp cradle]

😭

[fervent herald]

No one expected them to beat Barca

And they did

[charred wharf]

They beat barca barely while benefiting from 2 red cards

[wide cloud]

Once atleti regained control of the midfield you could tell it was their game, Barcelona weren't doing anything to change that fact it seemed like to me

[cosmic fjord]

Thats how patetico play

[vapid crypt]

I have a question regarding the Argentinian league

[wide cloud]

Sup

[cosmic fjord]

It will be a drag even if the have a 5-0 first leg cushion

[vapid crypt]

Does Rosario Central deserve a title

[cosmic fjord]

Even spurs beat then

[wide cloud]

No

[dusky crypt]

Goals= 0

Just like last year

[vapid crypt]

I'm torn

[fervent herald]

21 shots with no goal is mad unlucky

[wide cloud]

The league hadn't even ended yet and they weren't even first, it made no sense

[dusky crypt]

If its the same two years in a row, it is not unlucky

Its about quality

[cosmic fjord]

Hows 21 shots with most nowhere near the goal unlucky lmao

[fervent herald]

Atleast we created chances

Unlike the 1st leg

0 shots on target

[dusky crypt]

True

[cosmic fjord]

Good 15 min spell in the beginning of the second half by liverpool. Then dembele hung up the phone

[wide cloud]

Subpar refereeing but still a great match for a neutral

[charred wharf]

Second half makes it look even worse

Given psg scored both goals during the second half

[vapid crypt]

Iirc they finished first during the regular part of the season... then there were the playoffs which hadn't started yet

[fervent herald]

We were sideways passing in the box instead of shooting first time

Ekitke a big miss

We needed him

[wide cloud]

Yeah they were awarded that on "good performance"

Which is why I now find the 2022 world cup win bittersweet, it ensure that Chiqui Tapia would remain as AFA president

Now due to bullshit decisions the league deteriorated in terms of quality

[south helm]

Liverpool play ok,but Arne Slot is not what Liverpool need right now

[lost horizon]

Never a normal day in Argentine football is there

[flat moth]

Tapia just a horrible administrator

[wide cloud]

nope

[lost horizon]

I’m still surprised how bad Gallardo did second time around

Man looks absolutely washed

[wide cloud]

broke my heart really

something must've happened in saudi arabia he was not the same coach when he came back

[lost horizon]

He looked depressed always

Like I get it you want the paycheck in Saudi Arabia

But they must’ve said something to him

Maybe it just shattered his confidence

[flat moth]

Crazy falloff

I genuinely thought gallardo would get picked by a European club

When he left them originally

But bro went to Saudi😭

& became so ass

[copper badger]

The first half show like the unlink between the new signing this szn
The second half show like why you need building new squad on this szn

I still think that Liverpool's new system 4 2 3 1 maybe a new direction for liverpool
not bcz wirtz coming but bcz Top rank club on almost all European football doing it
PSG, Barcelona, Madrid, Arsenal, City, Bayern
Even United's under Carrick previously adapt to it and it's work well make united alive again
The problem for slot not working at Liverpool maybe he not a good mentality booster like Klopp or other great manager have to be
Slot have to go but who gonna replace him ?
People said Alonso but you know Alonso lose to Slot 3 time under Leverkusen and Madrid do you really think he is a tactician ? and he failed to boost mentality on Madrid cost crashing with Vini and Perez too

[blissful fulcrum]

horrendous take

he was good off the ball today, nothing special in possession

[dire musk]

other than pedri whos really comparing

[blissful fulcrum]

vitinha was probably psg's best midfielder today, albeit against a completely dysfunctional midfield where gravenberch was trying to basically do everything on his own

vitinha gets credit for a lot of the things that joao neves does

[round estuary]

So Dembele just wakes up in the second half of the season?

[subtle plover]

Ousmane dembéle has forever promised to make up for his missed sitter vs Liverpool in 2019 thats why

[stark oriole]

HalfTime
Cruz Azul 1-0 LAFC
(1-3)

[barren gull]

Hot take: Ecuador will win the group over Germany

[bright plank]

Great result grizou, bring it home

[blissful fulcrum]

i think ecuador is a dark horse, but people are really underrating germany

[barren gull]

im not underrating them, i just think they're inconsistent. this isnt the Euros. they play rlly well 1 game and have no chemistry the next. Ecuador might be able to pull off a surprise win\

its the world cup, the european giants dont all play well like they should on paper

i think theyll lose in R32 too

[blissful fulcrum]

so you're just going off a whim?

[barren gull]

I feel that some big team is gonna be upset and it’ll be Germany cuz they very inconsistent and Ecuador have insane form rn

[blissful fulcrum]

i wouldn't attribute that inconsistency to random chance

they had clear issues in their 2018 and 2022 world cup squads

they had missing profiles, missing leaders, and problems off the pitch

[stark oriole]

Final
Cruz Azul 1-1 LAFC (1-4)
Cruz azul won’t be able to reach the double champion this season.

[round estuary]

Fair enough.

[south helm]

Well, Liverpool defense is afwall

[stark oriole]

Halftime
America 0-0 Nashville

[delicate flare]

East Bengal FC from Kolkata, India celebrating the Bengali New Year today

On the occasion of New Year, an unique century old ritual is followed by all football clubs in Bengal called the "Goalpost Puja (Worship)"

Generally its the captain or head coach who initiates the ritual

[quasi cliff]

u guys deserve it frfr much love

[tight ruin]

who's idea was it to add soccer to the server's name

[delicate flare]

India-Uganda friendly match called-off as Uganda Is Facing Both France and Brazil in June .

[rustic yarrow]

Calm down bro

[tropic path]

Alr

[tight ruin]

everyone being let in this chat atp

"one of the most active users on the server" and they are green roles

[indigo knoll]

😭

[shrewd fractal]

genuinely 😭 ive never seen this manyy people join at once

[tribal citrus]

yeh

[hazy wren]

07/03....

bro I miss him so much

[blissful fulcrum]

@tribal citrus alright so let’s discuss this

[tribal citrus]

okay

so what

u were saying

he had great first half but 2nd half was shit

he literally changed flank for 2nd half

[blissful fulcrum]

as i said, lamine actively drawing a large number of duels is important because it means he was being marked and they needed to put several defenders on him to stop him

[hazy wren]

who we talking bout

[tribal citrus]

yamal

[tribal citrus]

atletico overdid on this one

[blissful fulcrum]

and it’s not like he lost that many either; winning 56% of your duels in a highly physical match isn’t poor at all

[hazy wren]

I didn't watch the match lol it was 3 am

[tribal citrus]

its fine

[hazy wren]

but he's still a kid doing numbers so I would say he's pretty good

[tribal citrus]

in last 30 mins they were marking him with 1-2 players

[blissful fulcrum]

what is ferran good at? he has the right instincts as a box 9 and today his work rate was great

but once again, he can’t hold up the ball against good center backs, gets physically overwhelmed, and is a weakness in possession for barca

there is pretty much no world where ferran will have a better performance than lamine

[tribal citrus]

ferran did everything a striker would have done even after he wasnt getting much help from left

yamal was better in first half but he went low

but ferran had same good intensity whole game

flick made a blunder subbing him out

[blissful fulcrum]

ferran does not do everything a striker needs to do

there were several moments where he did not make the right runs

[marsh heron]

That first time finish into the top corner was amazing though

Too bad he was off

[blissful fulcrum]

yes, he can be clinical in the box; unfortunately basically everything else from him is incredibly poor

[tribal citrus]

lopez was overlapped him many times

[blissful fulcrum]

he is not physically strong enough to hold the ball up

fermín is a problem for barca too

[tribal citrus]

apart from it pedri didnt gave support either

whole left side was kinda doomed

[blissful fulcrum]

so anyways, my point is that this match definitely does not take away from lamine’s standing as a player

it only adds to it

[tribal citrus]

for me it was ferran who played best whole match i would said it for yamal but he dissapointed in 2nd half and he was clueless in last 30 mins

but overall he had great game

[blissful fulcrum]

yeah and once again i would disagree

ferran is simply not capable of outperforming lamine

so why did you give me backlash for saying lamine is still the best player in the world?

[tribal citrus]

he is, but i thought u meant he was best attacker yesterday thats where i disagree

[blissful fulcrum]

well if you think ferran torres was the best player on the pitch, that’s on you

either way, both the claim that lamine is the best player in the world and that he was the best player on the pitch yesterday are highly defensible

[tribal citrus]

barca needs a serious

rebuild

[blissful fulcrum]

so i don’t know why you acted like i was crazy and doubled down by trying to bring up the number of times that he lost possession

but hopefully we cleared this up

[tribal citrus]

the 2nd half disappointed rushed to me

[tribal citrus]

yeah

[blissful fulcrum]

the entire second half was a mess. and even if you want to argue that lamine wasn’t effective for some portions of the match, he still did more than everyone else in terms of creation

[tribal citrus]

he gets overloaded

[blissful fulcrum]

it’s really simple; barca needs a left center back and an elite box 9. and maybe a lamine backup if they can’t grow someone else

[tribal citrus]

whole team got depended on him

[tribal citrus]

a backup LW, 2 CBs yeah and striker

[tribal citrus]

roony is yamal's backup

or isnt he

[blissful fulcrum]

yes, roony is, not that great of a player though

[tribal citrus]

i dont think anyone can be yamal's perfect backup

[tribal citrus]

rapinha is 30 almost too

u gotta find his sucessor too

[flat moth]

Real life isnt fifa/fm 🥀

That a player turns useless at 30😭

[flat moth]

More or less this yeah

[south helm]

Is not a striker
Barca don't have a proper striker in his first team

[tribal citrus]

depends on physical of a player

injuries are started to get him

[flat moth]

Football Video games have fried people’s minds into thinking after 29/30 a player is destined to fall off

[tribal citrus]

i dont play football games bro

[flat moth]

Just 1 season, & it’s mainly a issue in his thigh

[blissful fulcrum]

raphinha will continue to be a good creator even as he ages, just need someone who is a competent presser who can rotate with him

[flat moth]

He still has 2-3 years more in him
After that his pressing will fall off though

[flat moth]

Yeah more or less

[tribal citrus]

yeah 2 years

still u gotta invest on someone for future

[flat moth]

I see his pressure reducing each passing year
But if barca get other players in the meanwhile who can run he can continue very well till his mid 30’s

[amber bough]

is this alive now

[fickle matrix]

Oh cool im a lounge member now

If im gonna be honest both atletico and barça payed the refs alot of money

[stuck gulch]

That referee is dogshit generally. He has done bayern and madrid before.

[fickle matrix]

This happened to both atletico and barça both resulting in yellow cards

Omg the atletico guy bleeding was so disgusting

Never watching those replays again

[radiant aurora]

Good save

[stuck gulch]

Yeah i couldn't beleive it when i saw it. Also weird vecause in other games he has called the lightest non existent touches.

[radiant aurora]

There's no way people believe that was a foul or anything, right?

[stuck gulch]

Definitely suspicious of him. Like he has his own gambling on certain calls going on.

[fickle matrix]

But the atletico player got hit with a literal UFC move

Elbow in the head so precisely it cuts it and starts bleeding out

[glass hazel]

Blatant red

[fickle matrix]

Both times

Kosovo clear favorites to enter the WC in irans place

Italy lost to bosnia in the qualifiers final like bro

I mean poland is a good option too

Idk about denmark

But kosovo got robbed like chelsea vs barça

[flat moth]

Is it even confirmed yet that iran are being replaced & the replacement can be a European team

[charred wharf]

Should be an asian team if iran gets replaced

[flat moth]

Yes

Doesn’t make sense giving the slot to a European team

[fickle matrix]

Doesnt make sense buying out micheal oliver to qualify but ok

[flat moth]

Buying out whom

😭

I don’t got any horse in this race fella
Idk what referee scandal you are talking about

[charred wharf]

Is this about Turkey vs kosovo

[flat moth]

Oh wait

He is on about turkey & kosovo

😭

[charred wharf]

I dont think that should matter if were talking about who goes in ahead over Iran 😭

[flat moth]

I am not Turkish nor Kosovar so i don’t really care genuinely

& the topic was iran

[charred wharf]

It should definitely be an Asian team

[flat moth]

Yeah lmao

[flat moth]

Yup

[charred wharf]

Idk which one

Whoevers highest in the fifa rankings or smth

[stuck gulch]

Would be interesting to see Kosovo in the wc but that would also come with its own controversy/shitty fans protesting.

[glass hazel]

I mean i hope its whoever wins the play offs tbh

[fickle matrix]

Yes

[fickle matrix]

Serbia is just mad about yugoslavia not existing anymore thats all

Anyways

Politics shouldnt be in a football server

[stuck gulch]

I really hope this wc is the biggest flop but not happening

[stuck gulch]

More of his fat ego needing to feel satisfied. No end

[patent copper]

but are you ready for Rashford and Saka to be labelled as "domestic terrorists" by the American Government?

[stuck gulch]

What?

[patent copper]

you know something like that is happening

[stuck gulch]

Oh

I thought you were saying I said that

Lmao

[oak oar]

I’d genuinely rather the World Cup be hosted in mexico

[stuck gulch]

They'll do thst with the middle eastern players

[stuck gulch]

I agree

[oak oar]

Even the mexican cartels are more respectful towards football than americans

The price hiking and behaviour I’m seeing from america is crazy

[stuck gulch]

Welcome to america this entire country is based on exploitation and greed.

[patent copper]

when USA crashes out in the Round of 16, either the Illegal Immigrants will get blamed for it, Transgender people will get blamed for it, or they'll somehow find a way of blaming both groups of people

[oak oar]

Lmao

I hope they get grouped

[stuck gulch]

They'll blame the Islamic people or players something

[oak oar]

Or get pummelled by a big nation in the knockouts

[stuck gulch]

Nobody in this city even cheers for the USA we all celebrated Venezuela winning the baseball tournament against us

[oak oar]

They’ll blame the Middle East

[patent copper]

the furthest they'll reach is the Round of 16

[eager wasp]

Hateful

[oak oar]

In my prediction bracket they’ll play argentina in the ro16

Messi please save football

[patent copper]

more Americans will be cheering for Messi than be disappointed that our National Team lost

[oak oar]

Hopefully turkey batters them 4-0 in the group stage

[analog tiger]

Madrid fans do you honestly think Bayern will lose in their own home?

[oak oar]

Don’t think anyone other than madrid fans think they’ll win

[patent copper]

but will we score a penalty?

[oak oar]

Maybe but you’ll concede 3 goals so it won’t make a difference

[analog tiger]

Bayern are the best team itw

Madrid obviously won’t win

[charred wharf]

I hope that nation is us

Just so we finally get a win against them in a world cup match 😭

[oak oar]

Goated pfp

[charred wharf]

Hes gonna lift it in the summer 🤩

[tough parcel]

i hate when people use age to determine which player is better

especially in the case of yamal

it’s either yamal is one of best itw and can be compared to the best itw regardless of age OR he’s a teenage sensation that can’t be compared to the best itw because of his age

[stuck gulch]

I mean why would age restrict anything when it comes to comparing overall level?

Oh wait I read it again

That second isn't the case has to be the first.

[twin trellis]

idt they believe in it either

[twin trellis]

genuinely speaking bias aside

hes the best winger itw by a huge margin

+the best playmaker

theres more hype cause hes 18 doing all this

but even if if he was 26 or 27

he would still be put on that pedestal

[flat moth]

I don’t think he is “the” best player in the world
But he is certainly one of the best

[flat moth]

Don’t think he is the best playmaker just yet

[fleet gust]

Who even is the best player today

[flat moth]

Top 3 though certainly

[fleet gust]

I feel like there is no unanimous player

For a while now

[flat moth]

Dribbler he is arguably the best

[marsh heron]

Olise for me

[oak oar]

Best player is between kane and yamal for me rn

[flat moth]

Scoring wise his technique is great
But he isn’t a volume scorer so not really amongst the very best itw in that regard

[flat moth]

There is none yeah

[oak oar]

First half of the season it was haaland and mbappe but they’ve both dropped off

[fleet gust]

That's the thing today

You can go about attributes

[flat moth]

Kane, Mbappe, Olise, Yamal, Dembele
(Maybe i am forgetting someone)

All have solid shouts but none who is very clear far ahead of the rest

[fleet gust]

But nobody is specifically the best at everything today

[oak oar]

Overall this season I’d give it to Kane

He’s been bagging from the start

And still is

[oak oar]

If this is right now mbappe isn’t there

He’s not been good recently

Last couple of months

[twin trellis]

id say hes more of a

one of a kind type of player

[oak oar]

Is there any player in the world who’s truly complete in their position?

[flat moth]

He absolutely is for this whole season

[oak oar]

At the top of their game

[oak oar]

Oh whole season?

[fleet gust]

I don't know

[oak oar]

Dembeles not there then

[flat moth]

He is, was just injured more this year
Whenever he plays he is amongst the very best

[flat moth]

Yeah, he will only get better

[oak oar]

Overall this season

1. Kane 2. Yamal 3. Mbappe 4. Olise 5. Haaland

Maybe a few of these swap around

But that’s the top 5

[twin trellis]

haaland?

[flat moth]

At his peak he will probably be the best by a comfortable margin
For now I would say he is top 5

[twin trellis]

he had an insane start to the season

[oak oar]

Best player in europe for half of the season

So yes he’s top 5

[flat moth]

At the start of the season i was feeling Haaland could surpass the treble year

Crazy fall off

[oak oar]

He likely will surpass the treble year

In g/a

Just shows how insane that first half was

[flat moth]

Yeah there isnt anyone like messi/ronaldo anymore

& i don’t think will be for a while,

[oak oar]

https://tenor.com/view/de-bruyne-gif-10664834227972035042

Ok maybe not anymore

[flat moth]

He is 21 short rn

[oak oar]

But a few years ago

[oak oar]

If you count club and country he’s pretty close

[fleet gust]

To put things into perspective

Dembele won the Balon d'or and nobody argued it

[flat moth]

Including nt goals doesn’t feel appropriate

[oak oar]

Why not

He took his nation to a world cup and said world cup is coming up soon

[flat moth]

For starters there are different level of international games each season

[oak oar]

Not like he statpadded friendlies

[flat moth]

During the treble season there were no world cup qualifiers

[oak oar]

Like a certain lionel messi in 22/23

[oak oar]

I mean ig so

[flat moth]

& Norway wasn’t qualified for the world cup so he didn’t play there

[oak oar]

Hes still on for 40 goals for club this season potentially

[flat moth]

International fixture quality & duration is variable season to season

[oak oar]

He’s on 33 rn

I can see him getting another 7 in the remaining 8 or 9 games

Maybe 50 goal contributions overall

[flat moth]

33 goals & 7 assists so far this season for city

52 goals & 9 assists during the treble year

He isnt getting close to it

[radiant aurora]

Says a lot about the overall lack of quality more than anything

[oak oar]

For club yeah at this point no

[fleet gust]

Exactly

[oak oar]

Him getting 50 g/a overall would be pretty lit

10 more in the remining 9 games or something like that

I believe Kane is on track to hit 50 goals

Yo he’s 1 away damn

49 goals and 5 assists for bayern this season

[fleet gust]

What's the last 50 goal season from a player

Did Erling achieve that?

[oak oar]

Yeah

Before that it was lewandowski
