Doesn't that work-out to roughly the same on a per capita basis?

Blanco starting for Spain U21s

 

Is Miguel on the squad?, a bit surprised not to see him

 

Blanco is the only one with the squad this window.

Speaking of Miguel, with Nacho injured and Militao in doubt to play this weekend given his long travel, Alaba will likely be playing at CB vs Celta.

Let’s hope Miguel is earning the start over Marcelo

 

How big is Italy compared to the Netherlands in size and population?
Don't get me wrong, I love Italian food and my pasta carbonara is epic.
But the diversity of the Dutch-Indo cuisine, a cross pollonation of about 350 years, is far bigger than that of the Italian cuisine. That's not surprising, given that the total length of Indonesia is twice the length of the Mediterranean Sea and the width is triple that of the Med. That's reflected in the diversity of the Dutch-Indo cuisine.

 

Much as i love him i'm really hoping we've seen the last of Marcelo as a starter and if both Ferland and Miguel are fit at some point, well thanks for the fantastic memories from a fantastic player but, time to move forward with getting younger stronger and faster, with quality of course.

 

When people find out which clubs are playing and not playing this weekend, they will want La Liga on that list too....

 

Also I am note sure # of Michelin star restaurants is a great indicator of food quality in a country. I think a better indicator is to what extent can you just walk into a random place and still expect the food to be good. I think this is what separates Italy (and Spain, Portugal) from almost every other country in the world.

If you walk into a random place in Holland, there is a good chance the food either won't taste great or will be quite unhealthy (or both). OTOH, chances are they will have good beer so ... evens out.

Benz set to start in a 2 striker formation. Good to see in the event he plays with Haaland and Mbappe in the future

 

Man, I'd be surprised if the Dutch 'cuisine' is anywhere near the top 50 in the world. Let's not be silly here. Anyway, whatever really, haha. Back to football I guess. Sorry mods.

 

That Benzema-Griezmann connection 🔥

Benzema assists Griezmann. Karim has been so good in his link up play tonight

Genius from Benzema leading up to Griezmann's second goal. Won't appear on Karim's stat sheet though

 

Depay hat trick. This man is on some ridiculous form at the moment

 

It pisses me off that Benzema continually sets up Griezmann with superstar service and that little shit can't as much as look at him or give him a "thanks" afterward.

 

Meanwhile, since going up by 2 goals against Latvia in late March, Turkey is pretty much at the level of an Andorra or, if we are being generous, Malta. They blew that 2-goal lead, lost all 3 games at the Euros easily, blew a home match against Montenegro and now lose by 5 goals to Holland.

 

France looking better without Mbappe?

 

Bale starts for Wales vs Estonia

Hazard on the bench for Belgium against Belarus. Courtois already left for Madrid

 

Ansu Fati will miss the matches against Bayern, Granada, Cádiz, Levante, Benfica and Atlético de Madrid. His come back is expected some time in October.

Another month for Fati to return.

It's an unfortunate story. This kid got injured back in last November and has undergone 4 operations. It will be nearly a full calendar year before he returns.

Unfortunately for Barca fans, they have been hyping this kid as the next Messi and this injury surely will have been a traumatic one. They took out his meniscus, which is known for reducing the length of the careers of professional athletes. Let's see what state he returns in physically and mentally.

 

4 surgeries?

damn, feel bad for the kid

 

On a human level that's tough, good luck to him, as a Farca player, well.......

 

He had multiple relapses I believe.

Crap luck for this kid. He looked fantastic when he broke through.
