    He's a FM regen of Rui Costa just without the organic development. Definite 10

    If you were playing FM, or if you were United with their current financial limitations?

    Yeah, fluid attack works. Rashford/Martial and Antony would love playing with him. Fernandes can be 8 and play with a 6.
    Specially against bunker sides.

    So far in this tournament he's looked better running at defenders IMO. To be fair, I don't really ever watch him, especially with Atletico. I just don't think he'd be worth what he'd cost.

    I still rate Felix a ton and I think some team is going to get him at a cut price this winter or in the summer. But here he would want to occupy the same space as Bruno which would just cause problems. Plus I don’t know if he’s clinical enough in front of goal.

    My guess is we are looking for a big, powerful CF. Someone like Gakpo or Sesko, maybe Osimhen or Vlahovic, is I would imagine the priority, but ten Hag does like his "10s" and Felix fits that profile.

    1. France
    2. Brazil
    3. Portugal
    4. Netherlands

    Then there were 8. Rankings are based on who I expect to triumph in the quarters.

    Intriguing matchups in all 4 games. France should prove too much for England and should edge it narrowly. All eyes will be on mbappé but I am thinking griezmann and giroud will be most telling in that game.

    The Dutch style of play should triumph over Argentina. That game will be almost too close to call but I am backing the Dutch.

    Brazil should run riot over Croatia and that should be the most clear-cut game of all. Tough but will be saying goodbye to modric .

    Portugal versus Morocco should be entertaining. I'm expecting this game to go back and forth with Portugal coming out on top. Loved how they look with Ronaldo starting on the bench. Same game plan and they should triumph.

    I actually don’t believe this and feel like it is piggybacking off his United departure. There is no way this guy would walk away from the possibility of winning the big one. I don’t buy it.

    Nah, i left after the rd of 16 game USA vs. Netherlands.

    The stadiums and the futbol were lovely. The different groups of supporters from all over were impressive. My favorite fans were the Saudi Arabia fans, followed by Morocco.

    My only negative was the fact that my accommodations were in a part of Doha where it was pretty boring. The best parts pf Doha are around Lusail and the man made island called the pearl.

    Im not a huge drinker, but i will never take alcohol for granted again.

    My reviews on the food are mixed. There was good food everywhere, but the best places were always overbooked.

    I went to 18 or 19 games. The first week was 2 games a day. Exhausting, but well worth it.

    Neymar has been subpar so far.

    EDIT: Antony has looked lively though.

    Brazils press looks so random and unorganized.

    Brozovic should have scored. Wonder if they will live to regret it

    And as I type this Brazil score so yeah they are going to regret that miss couple minutes ago.
