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

Miami beats NYCFC 5-1 to advance to the MLS Cup final. Somehow Mascherano managed to do this, lol

 

Much like Diego who occasionally pulled great results (all WC games before QF) (vs Uruguay & France) . When you have Messi plus few other experience players & decent ones, not impossible. Its not like their opponents are teams like City , PSG and Bayern lol

Never forget, Batista won Olympics gold . If they win all the way, then Masche is closing to Batista;s level

 

You mean Messi did it...... Masche was just a passenger. Lopez had a decent game with not much quality ball in the Libertadores final.

Plenty of rolling around, simulation and the Argentine referee had a good game but got one and one very crucial decision wrong. Should have sent Pulgar off which would have changed the game.

Lopez won almost every header but there were no crosses onto his bonce in the area crucially barring one. Some nice passes to Roque and pressing from him too.

Rossi had a solid game when tested which was rare. Loves to punch crosses which I don't like.

 

I give credit to Mascherano for at least stopping to play Suarez and Ustari when they were both clearly past it.

 

Posts a video with him just celebrating and no video of the goal...

You're losing your touch, buddy. Father Time catches up to all of us.

 

@Burr

Dude, did you boy go to Turkey? Wtf is that!?

Do you think Mexico's players feel more pressure playing at home or in the United States? 🇲🇽👀@landondonovan and @stuholden share their thoughts 👇 pic.twitter.com/MVvJN8aHDq

No he tried the implants and they didn't work for him. That's worse, it's a hairpiece, lol

I don't understand it. He's been balding most of his career and I think he'd look good with it all buzzed or shaved, he's got the head shape for it. Mid life crisis I guess.

 

Nancy is a pretty decent coach, that said I think even I could coach Celtic to a Scottish title, so hopefully just a resume padding move for him that gets him an even better job after.

 

Madrid continue to lose and Mastantuono has not played since returning from injury. I guess their media can't blame him for their lack of form.

Chile got a pretty tough group

 

“Argentina tiene TRES MUNDIALES, NOSOTROS TENEMOS DOS y nos otorgaron dos más, pero yo NO los cuento”.

Suarez is saying the quiet part out loud...

 

They're still coping from the fact that they've won 2 WC before Argentina wins any. Now Argentina had won more both WC and CA. Argentina also has won 2 Olympics, which means 5 stars based on UFA calculation.

 

Madrid just have entitled people playing for their club. Jude and Vinicius are garbage people, not no mention overrated footballers. I feel bad for Xabi and now what happens to Masta if Xabi is fired.

 

Wilfried Nancy was arguably the best coach in MLS…
How bad are MLS coaches? https://t.co/zP2YuhlPkE

Maybe that's why Masche managed to look good in the end lol

It was really stupid to bring in a guy like that in the middle of the season though

 

Wilfried Nancy was arguably the best coach in MLS and he couldn’t last more than 1 month in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 with Celtic 🫠 https://t.co/a3EOi5bzZN

nigeria vs morocco semi final caf

 

Morocco could possibly have a back to back deep run at WC like Croatia in 2018 & 2022.
