It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

Dunno. I don’t even see how he would have got in the starting line up, himself and Mbappe favour the same position and he’s not winning that one. Was always going to be, at most, a dangerous sub.

It’s the loss of the midfield that’s worrying for me. It’s going to be a huge test of where the two young fellas at Madrid are at right now.

It’s really interesting because I think the sky is the limit with Camivanga and Tchouaméni but they’re so young and inexperienced. Probably won’t matter to much in the group beyond the game against the Danish but in a tight knockout game against a top team the lack of nous in midfield could definitely be exposed.

I can’t believe there are clowns out there than think this USMNT can make it out of the group and go far. Someone people saying Pulisic will be top scorer. It’s all underneath US-centric social media accounts. They’ll be lucky to get 3rd in the group. It could be people trolling or they’re just delusional.

Idk, they have a bunch of talented young players that could be a surprise. First game against Wales I probably the most important one for them. Iv they can at least draw that they have a chance of advancing

The best they could do is RO16 and then lose that next match. Draw with Wales, Lose vs. England, Win vs. Iran. I think they’ll lose both the first two. I’m in the minority, maybe, where I don’t think they’re very good. Not 16th best team according to FIFA rankings

I guess making it out of the group should be considered a success. If they make it ouft second it's probably the Netherlands waiting . That could be a hard one
 
I did my own boycott of the opening ceremony and game ....

Not political, just fell asleep after a big Sunday lunch

Power to the people
 
So, England, Wales, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland , whose captains were set to wear a onelove armband, have backed down from it because FIFA announced that referees would have to book captains with a yellow card if they wear the armband
