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

[DripNick]

Where are all the Marseille fans DripNick ?

No way the fans got booted for racism.

They probably got booted for being crazy tho. They’re a rowdy bunch.

Marseille a real Football club and city
They might be some of the least racist french people, their fans stay wilding tho

 

[Coupé It]

Arsenal fans. Who is Arsenal’s LB again?

Because Nuno Tavares is on Loan at Marseille ballin out finding his stride.

So he could very well come back and make Arsenal better next year.

Love Marseille and their people.

 

[DripNick]

Love Marseille and their people.

I always let em know too and I'm a Paris ***** through and through

 

[tomdiginson]

Excellent display of virtue signaling but they’re depriving the people of their national team

While Macaroni and Co watch matches from their office.

 

[Coupé It]

Yea sometimes you have to put the rivalry stuff aside and appreciate.

Marseille is dope.

 

[DripNick]

Paris the most beautiful city in the world.
Marseille and it's surrounding area, the most beautiful in France

Zinchenko and Tierney. Nuno had about as up and down year you could have, but yeah something about Marseille and Arsenal players balling out

 

[Coupé It]

Hope the WC returns to Asia or Africa before they go back to Europe though

Portugal need a World Cup, we never had one. We’re too small. We can only get a WC thru a joint bid.

So how about this…

Portugal/Morocco/Algeria WC

 

[Coupé It]

Oh yea that’s right. Hmmm

You think Tavares is done at Arsenal?

 

[Bantz Lord T]

While Macaroni and Co watch matches from their office.

Not to mention the fact that the local club is owned by Qatar Sports Investments

 

[vtotheinay]

sane's close control and first touch when he's in form is unreal

Portugal/Morocco/Algeria WC

If FIFA lets a country the size of Qatar host, there should be no way Portugal shouldn’t get to host too. Not to mention there’s far more things to do, sights to see, and just an overall more liberal and fun environment.

We know why it won’t happen though.

You know Spain & Portugal will be locked in

Portugal can’t bribe FIFA like Qatar tho.

We don’t have that kind of oil money (yet).

I know, I’m just thinking out loud because I don’t want to be associated with Spain.

 

[noskey]

Oh yea that’s right. Hmmm

Nope, he's probably going to be converted into a winger, or LWB if Teta moves into a 3atb lineup (since Zinchenko and Tierney can play that role too). A Nuno resurgence might help Zinny move to midfield too where he's comfortable.

Exactly, that’s what I implied by my last sentence.

Having a WC in Qatar just seems like the least fun WC of all time. I’m not even talking about alcohol, it’s just that…imagine you want something to do/see before and after the games. You’ll literally be out of things to do within one day even if you’re staying in Doha

Meanwhile in Portugal you could be having the time of your life, going to games and thousands of street parties during Festas, traveling to the different scenic cities, villages, and islands…

Brazil and Germany seemed like the most fun recent World Cups

It’s insane how rich they are.

They’re building numerous hundred million dollar stadiums to host 1-2 games. And that’s it. It’s over.

These stadiums will never be used again and they’re are all within a 100 mile radius from each other.

This whole thing is crazy man

Sign me up expeditiously
Picture me mean mugging y'all like some Churrasco, then dipping to Morocco for some recruiting *Wizard voice*

You guys have a shot with that joint Iberian bid with Spain...and Ukraine

Like Coupé It said we don’t want it to be a joint event with Spain. We don’t want visitors from all over the world experiencing cold @&$ Spanish “hospitality” and thinking Portuguese are the same

Portugal to Morocco is like a 1 hour flight. It’d be super easy.

Can’t drive, but still.

Exactly. I don’t want to be associated with these weirdos.

Only Spanish people I’d be cool with are Basques, Galicians, and some Catalans (they’re hit or miss).

The rest? No Thanks. I’m good.
