Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Things are working out well for Ten Hag so far, the Ronaldo problem is gone, and he is just managing his boys. Still a long way to go, United looks shaky at times but that's football, hopefully he gets the support he needs to make things good. @Wiseone how are you liking some Casemiro in midfield va...

Re: Mbappe Is a hell of a Clutch Player

To me, he is the best player in world football..Miles ahead of Cron and Messi I agree 100%. Mbappe is above CR7 and Messi. After what he did in 2018 and his years at PSG, specially last season after Messi and Neymar disappeared, Mbappe got me in his corner. Have you just started watching Mbappe? So...

Re: THANK YOU QATAR!

We have to keep drumming this into the haters heads that this is one of the best World Cups ever, with no alcohol and no LGTB stuff, just to make their faces turn blue.

It was a lovely event, very memorable.

Well done Qatar, i also almost fell for the negative propaganda

The beauty about football and why it unites us that we can all watch exactly the same match at the same time and still see things very differently :thumbs:

Re: Mbappe Is a hell of a Clutch Player

Are we talking about the same Mbappe that went missing against England, Morocco and for 80 mins of the final? The key guy in the final was Kolo Muani. Mbappe is good, but is easily shut out by a guy who is fast. Let's assess him when he is 30 and no longer a speedster. If you are implying that Kyle...

Re: [WC 2022 Final Match] ARGENTINA 2 (Messi, Di Maria) FRANCE 0

I remember some people here on CE mentioning that Deschamps is a poor manager carried by France's vast talent.
I didn't pay much attention to that statement then.

Re: [WC 2022 QF #4] ENGLAND 1(Kane) FRANCE 2 (Tchouameni, Giroud) FT France through to the semis

Walker did well against Mbappe. The latter was nowhere near the supernhuman of earlier rounds. Don’t think the game needed Saka and Foden, should’ve ditched the latter and used Rashford for the directness. Or if playing Foden, gone with a 3 and found room for Trent Ogbunigwe-Arnold. Effing blue coa...

Re: Morocco celebrates after defeating Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal 1-0 in the 2022 FIFA World Cup (video)

I dont think you know what it means to be a leader; and frankly, the more I hear Nigerians speak about leadership, I realize why we have some of the worst leaders (ehmm i mean rulers) in the history of the world. Leadership is the most selfless act of service in the world. Like a good father/mother...

Re: Morocco celebrates after defeating Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal 1-0 in the 2022 FIFA World Cup (video)

What i am suggesting there is that it's been clear especially in the last game that Ronaldo is now a peripheral figure in the Portugal team.

Re: Morocco celebrates after defeating Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal 1-0 in the 2022 FIFA World Cup (video)

I understand that a man has the right to be sad. However, as a captain, Ronaldo is such a terrible leader. Forgetting what he did at United. Your team lost, a lot of the young players are sad and you walk off the pitch so you can go and cry in the dressing room. Nothing wrong in a man going to cry ...

Re: [WC 2022 QF #2] NETHERLANDS 2(3) (Weghorst X 2) ARGENTINA 2(4) (Molina, Messi) PKs ARG advance to the semi-finals!

Argentina should have had several players sent off including Messi :curse: I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. I hate to think that FIFA and the refs have a bias towards wanting a Final with Messi, may Croatia prevail in that case. Whats annoying is that VAR is there and sometimes a ref...

My friend, I totally disagree with you on the attractiveness claim. We cannot play more attacking because our forwards are bad. I mean they REALLY are bad: Petkovic, Livaja, and Budimir should never make a NT. Kramaric is ok, Orsic has speed but for some reason ignored by Dalic till throwing him in...

That's the most basic Dutch team I have ever seen. Wtf. They make old English team look like Brazil. Wtf happened to them?
