luisfigo that blue kit, what year is that btw?

was their first year with nike in 96/97. not sure if they even got a chance to wear it before the next season's kits came out.

here's the home version they wore

Shout out to Memphis. Form of his life right now. Get Fati and Aguero healthy and Barca are eating again

put respect on Braithwaite

“In his last season, there was a lot of tension. I think Mourinho wore us all down. Pep demands maximum control in everything. I was dating Shakira and everything changed with him. I was under a lot of pressure and I even thought about leaving in 2011/12. I suffered a lot in that last year with Pep.”

It’s interesting to get actual confirmation that Mou really did get to them with the psychological warfare. Definitely took that Real team to a higher level and planted the seeds for the CLs that followed.

Yea everyone involved from both clubs have spoken out on how draining that era was and just how intense and real the rivalry became. Apparently it even had some players questioning loyalties when on duty with La Roja.

Definitely was a big reason behind Pep deciding to take his first sabbatical before the Bayern job

Wayne Rooney was also overrated.

He might've burned out by 30 but prime Wazza was the goods and a key part in some of Fergies most successful periods during the 2nd half of his tenure.

His goal numbers would've been pretty wild if he wasn't the total team player that he was and even then, he finished as the all time scorer for club and country

Prime Rooney was far from overrated, there's a reason he was getting all the endorsements and being called 'White Pele' unironically for years

Still arguably the greatest teenager to play in the Prem

put respect on Braithwaite

He respected Memphis enough to move from the #9 to #12

Absolute facts...Anyone calling Rooney overrated is either trolling, didn't watch him play, or has a personal vendetta against him lol.

body language is looking so defeated

at least 50 is my guess. ive never counted. my buddy who doesnt watch soccer, cant tell you anything about kits but comes out with me to the pub to drink and hangout started to take random pictures of me in my kits because he even started to notice subtle differences between the kits and thinks i have a problem.

I went through something similar, I have the most Jamaica kits and apparel on Earth, so for a whole week during the quarantine last year I wore a different JFF jacket to the park for like 6 days in a row and this stupid chick on FB was like “yo why do you wear the same jacket over and over”. I was like “you dunce it’s a different jacket everytime”

Edit and I have this one too, but I was too fat during quarantine to wear it

This whole Ronaldo back at United is still so surreal. Dude is really back at Carrington. It’s still doesn’t seem real. He’s really in Northwest England again

As for Fred, look I’m not a fan either…l

But if you watched Juventus the last couple years - I don’t think Ronaldo is complaining. From Pjanic, to McKennie, Rabiot, Bentencur - United’s midfield is a def upgrade - Juve were dead.

Oh darn.

I know Georgina probably isn’t too please she’s living in England btw

She seems like the type that would complain about it

 

[Coupé It]

Laporta in the short 6 months he’s been President has sounded like a fool. This is ridiculous

Man she’s gonna hate it. She’s too high maintenance.

Irina would have been a soldier tho.

You know they're just saying that because they want to set up a bi-annual world cup & a bigger club world cup.

 

[Coupé It]

My solution to International breaks and games has been clear for years. Get rid of them during the club season. Then the club season would be 6-8 weeks shorter.

Use that open schedule to play international games April/May.

Not only does it make more sense - you’d see much better football. International football can be really dull due to short training and chemistry issues.

 

[rolaholic]

For international breaks I feel like it should be maybe twice a season max and with strictly competitive fixtures like qualifiers.

They can fit in the remaining ones for the calender year maybe directly after the season ends and give everyone time off before the run up up the new season.

Think it can still work during the season but much less frequently and without any meaningless friendlies.



Sheesh blood rival Sunday



Well damn
