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

[flyeed]

A W for me tonight is Tchouameni using his physique to body the crap out of someone, and Hazard showing some promise at the false 9.

A W for me tonight is Tchouameni using his physique to body the crap out of someone, and Hazard showing some promise at the false 9.

Is that where he's been playing?

 

[Verde Shuttles]

Italy not wanting clubs to build new stadiums is part of the reason why serie a has fallen behind.

Is that where he's been playing?

Yes. Can’t be worse than Mayoral or Mariano.

Supposedly he requested to be moved to that position, which is wise with Vini’s explosion, Rodrygo potentially on the cusp of breaking out, and Valverde making himself undroppable and getting game time at RW.

The flip side is how many false 9’s have truly flourished in recent years? Someone who knows feel free to chime in. I’m hoping that even if he does manage to stay fit he doesn’t fall victim to the modern game’s obsoletion of the attacking mid mold at the top level (I know he’s a winger but his skillset/athleticism isn’t exactly one of a winger in 2022,) and his class makes him an exception.

This is weird.

 

[Coupé It]

United sure were “building something special a few years ago”…

 

[rolaholic]

Nah,gonna need to get Infantino and Cerefin on the line cause what is this financial sorcery

[noskey]

Got Zaha in my fantasy team. Hope he does that on a weekly basis

 

[Bosa]

Kounde finna be umtiti for barca

Twerking for Man City a year ago, twerking for Atleti this summer...what a time

Half expecting him to end his career at Benfica now

Been a rough few years for Griez though yikes. Used to be legit top 5 itw. If he's on the market I could see him winding up in Italy

 

[vtotheinay]

hoping this kid lives up to the hype. glad the deal is basically almost done

Let it sink in that Hazard still hasn't played in a Clasico since joining Madrid

I was a big fan of Chelsea Hazard, that man was a beast. His decline has been so drastic, it’s pretty crazy

 

[fluid hips]

Cats were looking at me crazy when I predicted what would happen with the Hazard move to Madrid

 

[noskey]

France pressing Netherlands too well Dominating. Against this shaky defense its a matter of time until the French take control. Need the midfield to get it together and string together more than 2 passes before panicking.

This France team not burying easy chances. F around and might end up losing

United sure were “building something special a few years ago”…

I need you to support a club that ppl actually care about. This obsession with United is gross

Their defense is too good. Miedema hasn't gotten a single chance and it doesn't look like she will. France just needs one, and its game.

van Domselaar has been AMAZING tho for being so young and inexperienced in this stage.

 

[noskey]

Ummm van De Donk is not the one to come off in a scrappy game. Brugts should be on for Palova if Parsons wants to stretch the game and use speed.

 

[AZwildcats]

That kit is the best one I’ve seen for this upcoming season
