Activate Another Lever and Still Lose to a Madrid Remontada - The Small Teams Thread

Palmer is joint PL top scorer with Haaland now. Most strikers care about PL golden boot.

Yea. I want Bellingham to win Pichichi as well.

 

I think it's more likely that Vinicius and/or Lewa making a late season run at the Pichichi. A hattrick or a couple of braces and they'll be right behind.

Never really saw Bellingham winning it until he had an enormous lead and that's gone now.

You answered your own question, but maybe you kane't see it with your PL blinders on.

 

All of that is fine but we have seen main penalty kick takers allow someone else to take a penalty.

 

Depends on the striker tbh. Someone like Benz might not calculate such stuff, but no teammate is asking Ronaldo for the penalty if he's in a tight golden boot race even if he has scored a hat-trick. We have also seen Robben and Ribery fight for a free-kick as well.

 

If you know there is a designated penalty taker and you still try to take it away from them, you are putting personal goals above the team. You can ask politely but if it’s a no, it’s a no.

I didn’t like it when Xabi took the ball away from Cristiano.

 

Because they have Southgate.

 

What did he say? It's copyrighted.

 

Luckily I don’t think he’ll continue after the Euros so going then isn’t going to cause much problems to the young talent.

 

We also have Mainoo, who looks like a very talented player, gives Southgate the option to play a balanced double pivot with him and Rice and Jude sitting ahead of them and behind Kane.

The defence and goalkeeper on the other hand look very weak in comparison. Especially the keeper position.

 

They are England

they’ll lose somehow

 

England will break their spell one day.

 

but not today

 

They are one of those teams that give up, unlike us.

 

they are the opposite of us. They are always in doubt

 

Their fan base and media sucks donkey balls though.

 

Tell me one that doesn't. Colombia? Croatia? Those two come to mind.

 

And narratives used to claim it was the best didn't hold up. English pundits said la La Liga was a 2 horse race whereas anyone can win the EPL, now go back and look at how many times English teams dominated epl competition for extended periods of time.

 

In Copa America
