OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

[Bantz Lord T]

Mbappe to Barca makes the most sense

Barcelona doesn’t have enough levers left for this kind of move

THEY DONT HAVE MONEY MANNN

But yea, I agree that would make La Liga WAY more intriguing if Mbappe went there - it just won’t happen.

Maybe Leão to Barça tho. His contract is cheap. We’ll see.

on a historical level they wouldn’t be the right ones to do that because their foundations are with having an Academy in training future generations of their team all while being at a extremely high-level of play

They abandoned their foundations a long time ago

 

[Belgium]

United is gonna need these counters
They keep handing the ball straight to Everton, especially Casemiro

 

[Belgium]

What a dumb penalty giveaway

 

[Sinner]

Penchester United!

Interesting that Bruno didn't take the 2nd one?

 

[100027]

Everton’s ability to build up well and fail to get shots on goal is amazing. No wonder they’re so set piece dependent.

 

[Sinner]

A relatively comfortable win, but it wasn't pretty as usual.
Oh well... take what you can get.

 

[Belgium]

KANE scores
1-0 vs Mainz, almost a second goal for Kane just now
Edit: That second goal
Freekick taken quickly. Commentatotrs were like huh? There's a goal?

Kind of crazy the EPL have Arsenal playing today when the CL is Tuesday.

Porto were allowed to play yesterday.

A brace for Kane to end the first half Great goal too, left the defenders bamboozled.

La Liga regularly schedules RM vs Barca or Atleti smack in the middle of CL quarterfinals or semis. So it’ll look like midweek CL match -> weekend Clasico/Derby -> Midweek return leg.

I guess the rationale is to use the CL to promote big La Liga matches. But it’s always bizarre to me, should be scheduling to be against relegation type sides during those periods to maximize the chances of your teams advancing and promoting your brand.

Yea.

The EPL is different. Their on their high horses all the time thinking they’re bigger than the Champions League when they’re not.
