It is mostly his decision now... They are saying he is quitting but he already quit before and then came back A new generation is needed though. Many of the current team will not continue. Sampaoli leech is saying he doesn't want to leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the next 2 games will probably not deliver compared to earlier. Commercial it won’t be allowed to happen. They’ll be in the squad for shirt and ticket sales.

Nosaj Thing Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Cavani is a fucking beast. I hope he doesn't miss the next match. Farewell, Argentina. Put your shit together for the next WC. It's never too late. P.S.: Can't believe Mbappé is 19 years old. That kid will become a legend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 If you look at how C. Ronaldo plays he creates play (pulling back to an attacking midfield position, taking the ball and instigating passes) before moving into the box for the end ball. He is always alert, either pulling back and passing or pushing forward to receive the end product. He is rather two players for the price of one - three in fact as he occasionally goes to the wing. Nobody is going to convince me otherwise than that Messi simply ''couldn't be arsed''; he basically spends endless periods walking - yes, walking - around in the midfield area.

Just one thing on Ronaldo vs. Messi. Messi was the better player for 5 years ago when they were both in their prime, but he's not the better player now. Ronaldo for all his criticisms actually managed to win a major tournament with his rubbish team mates at international level. Also showed that he could do it in different leagues. I wouldn't be shocked if in 2 years Ronaldo is still one of the top scores in the champions league playing for Madrid or a different team in his mid 30's and Messi's retired.

I saw him walking today and I said to myself "oh no, he's walking again " It's like an OCD kind of thing he does when he gets nervous or something. Also, he was not playing in his usual position, so I think it is Sampaoli's fault as well. He's incompetent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned that recently and I honestly thought I was dreaming or getting mixed up - some vague memory of the past that I have tried to obliterate - that is how bad it was, the ''square plugs round holes with a few triangles shoved in for good measure'' of the wee wee generation.

DieselDaisy Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Chap making the point that this will be the last summer of world football for a very long time as Qatar is some shambles in November. I don't consider football a ''summer sport'' (that is the time for cricket and tennis) but I see his point pertaining to this glorious entertainment. Enjoy it while you can.

Ace Nova Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Spain has clearly been the stronger team. Seems like 90% of the time they are playing on Russia's side....and every once in a while, Russia gets a break, takes it shortly past midfield...only to have Spain quickly take it back. Russia's only chance is if they either get a very lucky break away or it goes to free kicks, imo Edited July 1, 2018 by Kasanova King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
