    How is that not a penalty lmao? This Spanish ref is a joker.. Denied a clear goal over line and a clear penalty. He’s still mad about nations league 2025.. Clown

    Neto and Conceicao are interesting players in this system I would rather have them running in behind than Felix/Leao. The midfield is going to control the game you wan't players that cause havoc. It's not exactly Kvara/Doue but it's a similar profile combination.

    Apparently Nano Mendes and Roben Neves injured? Possibly out for World Cup? According to Nigeria..

    Lol gonna be another euro 2024 stink fest. Loss to weakest team in group. Possibly 2 wins or a win, draw and a loss. They looked god awful these two friendlies. I now have changed my mind. Out in RO32 or RO16 likely.

    That’s was a tough CR7 watch. Should have had 1/2 goals. Let’s hope just hope a bit of rust. He knows he can do better. Cancelo brings such a dynamic to our play. He’s always trying to make something happen. Has a tendency to go all out Speedy Gonzalez. Felix also looked good. Very worried about Nuno. What’s happening to him. In and out of PSG and looks very sad.

    Nigeria are no pushovers. They came to play and win and be competitive. Must hurt him that they are not in the WC. Game should have ended at least 3-1.

    You're still on this delusional anti-Bruno nonsense even after this season huh.

    It's isn't 'rust'. He's finished. How can people not grasp this.

    I dunno man, they didn't even make the World Cup. Not exactly top tier but it's a friendly.

    Hot take: Felix should start at CF. At least he can run.

    It's really funny how you call other people overly negative.

    Inacio.... Wow, you can't get beat like that. If he was the size of Chico, you could understand but bro, that was so weak.
    CR7 didnt look sharpe today, needs to anticipate more, no more legs to beat opponents.

    I don't think he should start either, but imagine if Ramos played the way Ronaldo did today. The Ronaldo Defence Force would be tearing him to pieces.

    They were glorified training sessions. None of the other contenders looked that good in their friendlies either.

    I like the fire in his eyes today but still acts like a kid. Why kick the ball for the yellow?

    I am aware.. Spain drew with Iraq.. The concerning thing right now is our attack and Inacio..

    Wasting a spot on Semedo instead of taking someone like Palhinha is also going to cost the team at some point. Utterly stupid decision.

    Like I said a while back, start Felix at CF and sub Veiga on instead of InASSio.. What a limpao he is. Never felt confident with him at CB.. He is slow as a snail and lacks any basic instinct / aggression. No thanks. Call Pepe back, I'd rather have my avo at CB than Egg nasty oh.. And my avo has been dead for 15 years..

    It's logical. Dembele is not a proper CF but if you can press you can be extremely useful. We have seen with Mbbape at Madrid and what happened with PSG that even if you are of a younger age if you offer no defensive work rate from the front you hurt your team immensely.

    I was hoping Leao would be able to transition to CF for Milan this season. That would have been a perfect solution but he's just not of the profile/work rate.

    We’re still doing the Ronaldo has to play way longer than everyone so his subs get shit minutes so we can say they don’t take advantage of their opportunities move eh. Classic. Gotta make sure no one does better than him.

    Inacio is ass, has been all season. So is Veiga though.
