Madridistas All Over Copa And Euros Collide While Colombians Dominate - The Other Teams Thread

Ireland recruit a lot of English born players with Irish grandparents from English academies at 15-16 (before the are ready/selected for England Youth National teams) like they did with Grealish and Rice. I understand they think they are snakes but it’s a consequence of this practice and it’s very hard to turn down that opportunity especially for someone like Rice who’d just been released by Chelsea when Ireland came calling.

 

Immigration in the 80/90s, general globalization and the arms race of nationalized immigrants in the national game most likely due to France's success in 98/2000/2006.

 

You can't blame them; everyone wants to be part of a more successful team. Imagine Bale played for England.

 

Gareth Bale was eligible for England. Ah what could have been!

 

They still wouldn't win shit with him.

 

Sure, but risk Dani against Switzerland.

🔵🔴 Dani Olmo returns to Barcelona, as he’s not included in the squad for today’s game against Switzerland.

That Boehly/Clearlake meeting:

 

Apparently the reason they fell out was over valuation.

Boehly thought the club was worth around £3 billion so he made an offer of £150 billion to buy out Clearlake’s share.

Clearlake value the club at £3.5 billion so they want at least £500 billion from Boehly.

 

Why does Cahanoglu still take freekicks just outside the box? Arda is their best set piece taker

 

As there's no watchable football on right now, I decided to check Segunda División's standings and was happy to see Zaragoza at the top of the table. Could this be their comeback year? I certainly hope so.

 

Arda is a cut above. He is so damn good.

If Carlo gives him a proper chance he'll nail a starting position in no time

🇹🇷 Arda Güler vs Iceland:

• 90 minutes
• 1 assist
• 64/70 passes completed (91%)
• 4 key passes
• 1 big chance created
• 6/7 long balls
• 3 shots
• 4 duels won
• 3 dribbles completed

Iceland is like playing a Segunda side.

Also Carlonhas given Arda a "proper chance" and I believe will continue to do so. It's up to Arda to take those chances like last season.

 

Would only matter if this was his only impressive game. He had done this everytime he's been a starter whether against Iceland or Netherlands

Can't let this one slip through the cracks....

Jude / Arda
Tchou / Fede

That's the midfield.

 

Tchou over Cama?
