You 8-2 See One Team Score 9 Times- The Other Teams Thread

What a terrible swap deal that was. [emoji23]

Lionel Messi 2
Everyone else 0

That's a shocking stat in the Euros. No direct FK goal so far.

 

As if the Copa wasn’t fixed for a Brazil v Argentina final

 

hopefully colombia can stop that

 

I hope they do! Be cool to see Messi miss another final.

 

Barcelona have offered to release Miralem Pjanic on a free transfer just a year after buying him for 60ME.
They'll also let Umtiti leave for free.

 

Im assuming while paying his wages

 

Actually the offer was leave now for free and Pjanic responded by pointing at the remaining 45 million in wages left on his existing contract.

That’s is Lucas. He’s just got a bald head now.

 

Now they have Griezmann on a new video mocking Asian languages saying "ching chong" and a bunch of other random noises put together. It just gets worse for him and the French squad.

 

How ignorant and childish can you be? Any discipline coming to them for this?

Do fans want the World Cup every two years? 😳 pic.twitter.com/YQWgsDCqla

No. Less is more.

 

World Cup every 4 years is perfect. Copa America had Brazil sending B team the year in 2004. R9, Dinho, Kaka' etc chose not to participate as they wanted rest. Brazil still won with Adriano emerging as the superstar. Same happened in 2007. Kaka didn't participate though he was about to win BDR that season for winning CL with Milan. Think Dinho didn't play either. Robinho was Brazil's star that tournament.

That's when the federation decided to have Copa America every four years until they had back to back Copa America's in 2015 and 16. Brazil don't send B teams anymore because it's not the Golden era of them making 3 WC finals in a row. Their performance in WC since 2002 has been underwhelming to say the least Argentina obviously hasn't won Copa for a long time so Messi played in every Copa he was available for. Having WC every two years could devalue the competition as it's traditionally held every four years like the Olympics. Less is more like The Biscuitman said.

 

Who are these fans that want it every two years?

 

Euro 2021 has been pretty good. Maybe Wenger is salty because France went out while being the World Champions. I felt 2018 World Cup was the weakest I have seen (started watching from 1998 WC). At least 2002 had the magic of R9, Rivaldo and Dinho in a team unlike France with Giroud playing Heskey role. All top teams except France were in a transition stage.
