Win or lose this is DD last year running the France team.

Let Brazil get Pep….


We all know who is managing France next. The champion of champions.

Brazil almost did it again in '98 but that's when France had their coming out party on the world stage when the WC was at home

Brazil got rocked in that final

 

[Coupé It]

France and Zizou always rock Brazil.

I don’t disagree but how often does France actually live up to their potential? With the players they have, you’d expect them to go on a run like Spain did from 2008-2012…

zizzou is the answer to this problem

Al-Khelaifi didn’t bribe his way onto UEFA to make things more difficult for his club and by extension City. Can’t really expect UEFA to do anything to seriously curb the oil clubs’ shady business.

wow that's actually nice and surprising news. unfortunately was traveling yesterday and only got to watch the 2nd half of the match in an airport terminal with ****** wifi. luckily, it looks like i missed out on one of the worst performances by us in the CL in years. hopefully we get it together next week at home, but a CL title doesn't look likely for us this year. something is off with the squad right now. thinking all the contract limbo with so many starters is part of it

How do his players feel after hearing that their coach has given up on them? Piss poor leadership shown here by Tuchel. They’re only down 2 goals on aggregate. Liverpool went down 0-3 on aggregate to Barcelona in 2019 and turned it around in the 2nd leg…

I agree with these thoughts. I wouldn't be able to handle a coach that sugarcoats the media then say something different in the dressing room. He's honest and I gotta respect that.

Also... Germans don't joke around

 

[MetalMario]

Ima need the business capital of Germany to put in work against Barca right now

 

[cs02132]

Partey out for a few weeks minimum
Might be a wrap on CL

 

[8pm at msg]

Tuchel trying to get the guys going. They clearly need it.

 

[MetalMario]

and west ham down a man (Cresswell) going into halftime

side note i remember Mou saying that being a NT coach is an old man's game and he'll consider it eventually. obviously when he's "old" and he said this i think during his RM tenure

 

[sonoftony]

Yo West Ham

With 10 men too

 

[Belgium]

Emery doesn't play around in Europe

These are the matches Barca need a kessie. Ref, who was terrible today, letting everything go and the midfield trio of busquets, pedri, and gavi weigh a combined total of 285 lbs. straight getting bodied in the middle. Not starting frenkie, Barca's strongest midfielder, was not a good decision but rotations are needed.

Frankfurt really dried their field today too. And old tactic that was always used against Barca in xavi's playing days.
