don't know why you need to shoe-horn cavani in as an every-game starter. he'll probably rotate up front with greenwood/martial/rashford.

edit: yes i agree though martial should get sold... he's just way too inconsistent.

Let's say best 11. I would have thought Cavani would start, unless you want to have Rashford centrally? I don't think Greenwood is first choice number 9 yet.

There is more than enough matches for everyone, if they sell Martial or send a player out on loan.

this is so fucking pathetic holy shit. what the fuck goes through your head to write shit like that on a public forum? literal oxygen thieves


How is this comment any better then the English reaction. Actually it's a lot worse sense you had time to think about it.
And what is the problem, find it funny my self with people crying over a football match (and laugh about it myself so now hate me) , and what if you don't take a child reaction serious. It's not an immortal sin, but people that make it one and take it up to this level are the real problem. Get your act together and talk about serious problem.

how is my comment even comparable to those tweets? are you retarded?
presumably grown men writing shit like that about a little girl whos upset because her country lost a football match is not the same as me calling these men a surplus to society.
its one thing to harmlessly gloat and completely different to call a child who has every right to be upset a slut or little cunt. if you think those tweets are funny then you need to see a doctor. this is coming from someone who very much enjoys dark humour and absolutely abhors pc culture

as for uniteds line up i think its going to be

cavani/greenwood
rashford fernandes sancho
pogba new player
shaw maguire new player wan bissaka

depending on who the new midfielder is itll be pogba and him in a 2 man midfield or bring have the new player as a dm in a 3.
diallo shoretire and hannibal probably added to first team as subs. martial probably sold

Well, this thread became a rollercoaster pretty quick.

I refrain from commenting on that english fan twitter because I chose to believe everyone here does condemn stuff like that.

I am very surprised there are covid outbreaks in a stadium with 40k+ people with no masks and no distancing. Who would have thought

IF Mbappe really was sulking because of the Giroud comment then the penalty loss could have dramatic changes for the future of the French squad because now he will be more humble and hopefully the other players will also forgive him sometime.

Football world could be very afraid of the French next year

I’m not sure I really buy it, at least when some of the evidence of disharmony is players shouting and criticising each other on the field. Which happens absolutely every game.

The Mbappe stuff in isolation does seem to have some legs and for the good of his career Rabiot really needs to get his mother to stop such public outbursts, this isn’t the first time either.

Interesting to hear Ousmane Dembele’s departure as some hammer blow to morale. I’ve never heard of him being actively disliked by any means, but a quite isolated bloke socially who plays his video games and isn’t Mr Sociable in general.

So I dunno it feels like the French do have a history of infighting ruining campaigns but it’s being used as an explanation because of that history as much as anything.

In the aftermath of the game, Veronique Rabiot, mother of midfielder Adrien, reportedly told Mbappe's father to 'reframe his son and make him less arrogant'.

She is also said to have asked Paul Pogba's family how he could have lost possession in midfield before the Swiss team countered and found the back of the net.

Mooooooooooooooooooooooooom, Pogba was very very naughty! And Mbappe said some nono words!

Well, I wasn't expecting the French national team to lighten my mood and yet I am laughing :D
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

And PSG wants Ronaldo, or Pogba as well. When does the financial fair play rule come into play?

If they can’t afford it via those rules I guess?

They do have a lot of eye-catching players on insane salaries but their wider squad, not so much. And I think we’ve seen it cost them at the business end of the Champions League

Whereas say Man City have a full stacked squad with no superstars to quite that degree.

Typical english fans...
They prolly have only football in their life, in a country without a decent social welfare, the foot is like the games during the roman empire, a good way to divert their frustration.

What ? Are you serious i hope to god you are not.


Of course I am, that's what sport is to begin with, the phenomen is pretty obvious in England, it makes people pretty ugly, add to this a bit of stupid chauvinism and you got something violent but really entertaining and diverting.
You're a big english football fan so you don't want to see it that's all but the "banters" between football fans really show it is way more than just a "game" but a way to redirect ppl agressivity.

So our social welfare system and football fans booing national anthems and a few social media posts are all linked as one? 60 million people summed up by less than 100,000 people at most.....

Ah yes, lets link social media posst and generalize a mass population, oh how i love the internet these days.....

OTOH c'mon, English fans are not exactly known to be nice. They are a menace everywhere they go and they forced the government to pass some fotball laws... and it's not like football attracts highly intelligent connoisseur of Plato either.

Ok and on this logic everyone in Czech Republic is racist for not taking the knee and being supportive of a player who was aggressively racist in an Europa league match vs Rangers?

The thing about superstars is that they generate income, it's like Barca needs to sign Messi to insane contract because they will loss more in earnings without him. So it's not like it's all cost when you sign a player.

Yep, exactly right. Whenever I go to a mall in Texas, I see at least two dozen different people wearing Messi jerseys, oftentimes more if it's a busier time. Every other football jersey I see is either for Liga MX or the extremely rare Real Madrid. Messi is the sport's biggest star and I wouldn't be surprised if he brought Barcelona well over €500m since Messi signed that mammoth contract in 2017

Maybe he's the ego to rule over all the other egos.

I could definitely see this working over a span of 3 years if Ramos was a bit younger. Now it feels like they're constantly running on a tight schedule to success though, not much permanence to be had with a leader that's likely to retire in 2 years.

Then again, who knows. They want the UCL and in knockout system there's always a chance that Ramos will score you the game winner.
