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

[sonoftony]

Bruh what is this?!

 

[Sinner]

^ Looks like a bit for SNL.

 

[rolaholic]

I dunno about Rabiot starting

He's one of their OG's in midfield now

He started at the last Euros too and we see how that went down...

 

[rolaholic]

Didn't see the lineups here yet





Is Alaba hurt?

 

[Belgium]

Them still starting Lukaku over Openda is wild

I'm not sure you realize how well Lukaku generally does for Belgium, especially in the Group Stages. I don't think it's wild at all.
Has he been off his game for the national team lately? Sure, but we need to see if that was just a slump or if we really need to replace him.

 

[rolaholic]

Great chance for Mbappe there, they should be up

Their attack is looking up for it

Yea he was the top scorer in the qualifiers and has a terrific scoring record for the NT historically.

They should find a way to still have Openda out there but not at the expense of Rom. On a luckier day he'd have had at least a brace today

Ian just rambles on about nothing

Either way, I think that was a deserved victory for Slovakia. My fault for not putting enough respect on their name beforehand.
They did a fantastic job, especially in defense.
I'm not mad at the disallowed goal, it is what it is. It's unlucky but a fair decision in my view. Like the analysts said post-game, it was a fair decision and we'd all be outraged if it happened to us by Slovakia.

He's still hurt? Feel like he's been out since last year so I thought he would've been back by now especially for the NT.

Tchouameni also missed the CL Final with injury but he's on the bench for France today.

And people turned their noses up when I said they need to bring Ray Hudson. Enjoy Donovan/Darke/Lalas for the next 10 yrs.

Exactly.

They got a heart monitor for handball now?!

Americans:

 

[rolaholic]

Slightly selfish from Griez there cutting in to shoot at a crowd

Had Dembele on his right running forward to line up a pass that could've gotten to Mbappe on the other side of goal.

 

[fluid hips]

This pitch looks uneven

 

[fluid hips]

Kante got the old Adidas on

 

[vtotheinay]

if you go down holding your face and the replay shows you didn't even get touched there it should be an automatic yellow

 

[rolaholic]

Only fitting

 

[12:34]

Landon is so dry calling games

 

[sonoftony]

And people turned their noses up when I said they need to bring Ray Hudson. Enjoy Donovan/Darke/Lalas for the next 10 yrs.

Those three can't spit bars like Ray

 

[vtotheinay]

someone call gus johnson to get on these broadcasts

 

[Sinner]

Wotta chance.

 

[sonoftony]

I want to know why hasn't Telemundo or Univision picked up the Spanish language Euro rights. Nobody paying for another subscription service.
