OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Spain wins 2024 Euro Cup and Argentina wins the Copa America

[Bantz Lord T]

Why? Just keep this one.

It was cool to start new threads before when new people were still coming to NT.

But NT peaked a while ago. We all know each other now

I have no issues keeping this one going. Makes my life easier.

The drought in Brazilian coaching talent is real. Been saying this for a while.

Next Brazilian manager after Carlo will be Portuguese. I have not a doubt.

Which is something I thought I’d never see.

I wish I could bet on it. Is there a place that takes bets like that? I’d put down serious money.

We'll just need to summarize the predictions on page 1 so that we can all laugh at each other's ****** predictions in 10 months.

I'll start those - Arsenal win the double between the PL and FA Cup. Get knocked out of the UCL by Bayern in the round of 16.

Yikes. These guys are probably going to crush us

I understand the money is hard to turn down, but it feels like going to PSG ends up with players never getting the recognition they deserve for having solid careers. Marquinhos for example has been excellent for a decade at this point, yet no one ever brings him up as one of the top defenders of this generation

It's why Mbappe needs to get the hell out of there asap while he's yet to hit his prime

He'd be a B'Dor favorite if he just had the season he had for club and country playing in Spain or England. He's never gonna get that sort of recognition staying in France and he's already been there for 9 seasons.

P$G is a much sweeter deal for older established players than young hungry talents with a lot of potential imo

The money is very hard to turn down. It’s hard to say no to that kind of money. A player that’s entering their prime, on the sporting level, going to PSG seems like a bad idea. Aside from the CL matches and the odd one off league match, it’s not a challenge. You’re not really pushing yourself. I guess some players don’t mind that. It is what it is. Marquinhos has been consistent as **** but you are right, despite being so great over the last decade because he plays on Ligue 1, he’s not really talked about.

Alexis Sanchez is yet another great player whose career was tragically claimed by Manchester United

if they were to win something in europe, he would be talked about a lot more. they all would

 

[vtotheinay]

wow they're even taking top mls players now

 

[jape]

hot take

 

[sonoftony]

Him alone? Or would he be part of an investment group?

All this just to see Levy probably say….

It looks like it's just him buying it outright. But the news doesn't make any sense because Arsenal is his favorite club

“I got a good life, man, pounds and pence
'Nough dollars make sense, while you ride the bench”

According to rap genius, the pounds and pence is a foreshadow to jay-z’s future interest in premiere league football. And the making sense an allusion to this exact post 30 years into the future stating profitable endeavors are sensible despite it conflicting with his fanhood.

All the “______ is my favorite team” means nothing in business.

Jay used to be Knicks fan too.

Leagues cup is some ******** when I found all the Mexican teams have to play away

Fun fact: George Steinbrenner bought the Yankees after his failed bid to buy his favorite team, the Cleveland Indians.

Was out to dinner (Roy chois “best friend”) and ran into these two. Giroud was class, looked at the first picture my son tried and was like nah we can do better lol

 

[fluid hips]

Won't be surprised if the USWNT lose.

Got moms with kids vs young girls. Mismatch

 

[noskey]

Leagues cup is some bull**** when I found all the Mexican teams have to play away

Apparently that was LigaMX's decision. The MLS was open to traveling south. Hopefully next year we get away games.
