Take the emotion out of it, Tottenham should be taking any deal over 80.
We're talking about Dan Levy here though :lol:

Fully expecting that Kane skipping training to force a move is only gonna harden his stubborness and unwillingness to sell

80?!

Yea they're really desperate not to run it back with Timo as the main man it seems :lol:

No way is Inter gonna sell him, already got Lautaro rumors floating out there. They'll sell a few others before they sell those 2 imo
Surprised there isn't a bidding war for Lautaro.
 
Lautaro still needs to prove himself further before he gets a big transfer price tag.
 
Fan split is like 80/20 in favor of Mexico. Stadium is gorgeous though

Was able to go. Stadium is fantastic. Inside, it was more like 90/10 MX to USA fans (which is outrageous, but still somewhat expected)

Are the Mexicans still screaming puto? :lol:

Only caught it 2-3x. They came over the PA / video screens w/ a discriminatory language announcement midway through 2nd half.

Any city with a visible Mexican population is going to turn it into Estadio Azteca.

It's one of my absolute biggest gripes. I understand the USA wanting to play home games out west, but adverse crowds like this are insane. Name any other country in the world where this happens regularly.
 
Kane nice but that price tag for a super injury prone player like dembele for barca(dembele takes the cake) i wouldnt risk all that mula. He is injured every single season i feel like and they want the bag and some chips

It’d be closer to 50/50 on the east coast, but it still wouldn’t feel like a home game.

Really? I thought they were pretty respectable. Maybe when measured against the rest of us in the North/Central America, they look talented. :lol:

The standard for Mexico simply can not be Canada and El Salvador. No disrespect to those countries.

Mexico is top 10 in the world in population, and close to being top 10 in GDP.

With Mexico's footballing history and culture, there's just no valid excuse for failing to produce talent equal to other Latin American countries with 1/3 of the resources. And I don't even think Mexico is trending in the right direction.

Ironically I blame the relative robustness of the Mexican league far more than the field in CONCACAF. They gotta produce more players who are capable of playing for the best teams in the world. I get the allure of retaining talent domestically but that model has worked for no country ever on this side of the world.

Only three Mexican players logged Champions League minutes in 2020/21. The same three players in 2019/20. For comparison, the U.S. had nine last season.
