The All Purpose Other Teams Thread - Pt. III (R)

Oh come on, it’s a lousy Benfica.. they couldn’t even win the league or the Portuguese cup. It’s not exactly a standout squad either. I mean Otamendi is still a starter, along with a bunch of random mediocre europeans. They have Angelito, I’ll give you that, but he’ll already have his mind on Central and not getting injured before his big return to Rosario.

I actually think Boca has a chance against them. Not only will they have the “home” advantage, but the players themselves will want it way more than the Portuguese. If Merentiel is inspired, I can see Boca possibly pulling that one off.

As for Auckland, they’re semipro! I legit think there may be some better players at the local AYSO lol

 

@Burr I’m reading that Boca’s CB pairing for their opening CWC match will be Figal-Rojo

ok… now I can see why you were worried

Man, both of our teams suck this year, it’s a shame. Wish this tournament happened back in 2018 when both River and Boca had squads that were stacked. Even our subs back then would kill our current starters

 

Lol Chimy Avila is leaving Betis and is now saying how he is a Rosario Central fanatic and would love to join them… how convenient, right when Angelito joins.

Haven’t kept track of Chimy, but looks like Central may be the team to watch this upcoming season. Di Maria, Campaz, and Avila together could be something very interesting

 

He had already been denied entry into the US a few years back when he played for Independiente. He has two cases against him: one for aggravated robbery, and the other for being an accessory to murder (his brother is accused of homicide).

To be fair, not like he’s much better than the other guys anyway..

 

Well….

 

Man, just watched the Inter Miami - Al Ahly highlights and it was Ustari vs the world… Inter Miami effing sucks lol

Ustari’s still got it, though. I always liked him since his Independiente and U-20 NT days… if it wasn’t for him, Inter Miami would have suffered an embarrassing defeat in their CWC debut

There’s also a play where Busquets and Suarez were acting like douchbags to the ref, laughing in his face and practically telling him to ******** off. Like I get it, you guys are modern day “legends”, but it was disgusting how condescending and disrespectful they were acting. Don’t really watch Inter Miami games, so for those of you who do, do they always behave like this in the MLS too? Acting like they are above the game and belittling others?

 

Also, how retarded is that Al Ahly player in that final counterattack in the 97th minute? Lol (8:35 in the above clip)

It was practically 4 on 2… he had a million different options to pass and just kept dribbling til they stopped him. Couldn’t believe what I saw

 

At least @Burr is going to be able to celebrate some goals in Nashville!

I think even Soldano or Orsini would net a hattrick against these guys
