More like under used and bad circumstances. Clearly not Messi, Cesc, Pique generation, but not utter shit. The Masia is still great, but when the main team is performing bad and the direction is signing stars instead of trusting youngsters, it doesn't look great. The goal is not to provide the 1st team with 11 capable players but at least 1-2 per year, and they could do that easily with in Barcelona with more order. | ||

With this squad they are still top 3 teams in the world and guess what, they are ahead of Real Madrid in La Liga. | ||

Not only that, but Barça had to play 2 crappy teams, while RM tied against Valencia. It was a home game so they kinda should've won, but still, Valencia is a top 3 contender. | ||

Valencia did well, don't get me wrong, but it was all about Benzema can't score from deadly positions like 5 times a game :D i'd say Valencia would compete top4 spot with Sevilla, Villareal and RSO | ||

Its painfully clear that arsenal really needs a good quality DM. No idea why AW is so stubborn about it. Even Barcelona at their peak had Busquets. Of course intelligent DM like Busquets are hard to come by, so sign a good old fashion one instead of pretends like xhaka. | ||

People say he is lazy etc. I suppose that's who he is, and that's what you paid for when you buy him. Arsenal should be building the team around him. Again they need a good DM or 2, players that can control the midfield and free ozil. Then of course now with lacazette, chances created becomes goals, so stop playing welbeck.

Define "fine" because, while my post might be a little too "extreme" it was blow way out of proportions, i meant that i dont see Barcelona winning any titles this year, MAYBE Copa del Rey... If Real Madrid keeps their level, they should win the league and Copa del Rey no problems, while in Europe you have even bigger problems, with PSG also getting in the mix That's what i meant | ||

The problem is goals, Sweden is far ahead in goals scored and has to play Luxembourg at home still. We'd have to beat them 5-0 or something probably. Coincidentally with goals being the problem, why are we playing Vincent Janssen -_- | ||

Not doing exact math, but if so happens, and belarus keeps the last place in the group, it seems like netherlands beating belarus and then beating sweden would 100% assure them of second place, even if it's just a 1-0 victory both games. If luxembourg keeps the last place in the group then netherlands would prolly have to beat sweden like 4-0 or more. Where did you read that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification#Tiebreakers Doesn't mention it. And usually Wiki is rather accurate on these things for the major tourneys. | ||
