Very unlikable character I disagree I do not think he is a cunt I think he gets a lot of shit becuase he is the clear best player on the planet (would take him all day over Håland) look at the egos he has to deal with Neymar, who is poison, and Pessi, who is a focal point for attention, good or bad Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,170 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 France looks unstoppable, IF they play like that they really have no true weaknesses (CB perhaps, but it is not like they are rubbish there, shame that Presnel Kimpembe (especially) and Lucas Hernández are both injured, Fofana, post injury, is not at their level atm) Their fullbacks are fine. Madness that they have had so many injuries and just can plug in player after player, no other nation on the planet, not even Brasil, can do that Rabiot took the Kante role, and was a MONSTER, so disruptive they are polar opposites physically (especially height) but Rabiot put a hell of shift in Mbappe is the best player on the planet, no one else is close, not even Håland atm Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,170 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Bellingham is the second best player at the WC, after Mbappe magnificent MFer, probably the best non AMF MFer on the planet BUT England have ONE massive issue a huge one SLABHEAD he was horrific again, especially in the first half he is SO SLOW and absolute shit on passing in a back 4 France will roast the cunt alive madness that Southgate is going with him other than the CB pairing, England were great Mount needs to watch the game Henderson had and play like that Henderson played EXACTLY how we all expect Mount to play I swear to dog I would start every single one of these over Slabhead (this is not just players on the 26 man squad) I think Magauire is utter dogshit other than a threat on set pieces, which HAS to be a huge reason Southgate plays him, slabby doesn't even carry the ball forward anymore, really so, over slabby: John Stones (of course) Fikayo Tomori Ben White Marc Guéhi Eric Dier James Tarkowski Adam Webster Trevoh Chalobah Max Kilman Conor Coady Lewis Dunk Dan Burn and if in a back 3 Kyle Walker (and use Trippier as the RWB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, Jude or Enzo ends up here - whoever Madrid does not pick up. Bellingham is miles ahead of Enzo not even close IMHO Bellingham and Gvardiol at Real Madrid is the stuff of nightmares they instantly have the best MF then on the planet (Bells, Tchou, Valverde, Camavinga), even better than Barcelona IMHO, especially defensively and athletically, where the chasm is massive 4 good to great CBs (and maybe even add Milan Škriniar (on a free if he doesn't renew) in the mix, as Alaba is soon 31 (6 months), and Rudiger 30 (less than 3 months), Škriniar is only 27 atm, 28 in February, so 2 to 3 years younger and the type of CB who is not utterly pace dependent unlike Alaba and Rudiger) they will go gunning to pull back Hakimi and Theo for their fullbacks (and if not Theo, then up the game for Alphonso Davies (likely they are the only team who can pull him from Bayern) or maybe Nuno Mendes) If they fail on Hakimi (doubtful) then new contract or not, they will come for Reece someday and, all their chatting shit aside, they WILL make moves for Mbappe and probably Håland down the road (within 2 to 3 years max) Thank fuck Rafael Leão is not a RWer and is not left footed, same for Vini Jr (Vini Jr doesn't potentially cause an issue with Mbappe IF RM use Mbappe as a CF, and I can see Vini Jr on the RW (If Mbappe is at LW) before Rafael Leão, who is massively a one sided player) and Rodrygo (2 years younger than Mbappe) is also close to becoming a WC RWer himself, despite being a right-footed player. plus Cuntois is still only 30yo, and will remain the best keeper on the planet for at least 4 more years or so terrifying potential team I have NO idea why they are risking it all on this fucking Super League obsession, especially as next season their new billion plus stadium complex finally opens 100% Edited December 5, 2022 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not even the second best English player for me (Kane and Foden are well ahead of him). He's definitely promising, but he's still young and that's risky at this level. Wouldn't surprise me if he had another no show (like against USA) against stronger opposition and because he's now known. Speaking of which, England faced pretty shitty opposition thus far (Iran, USA, wales, and senegal that's the bottom of the barrel right there), so it's hard to compare performances esp in midfield when teams face completely different levels of opposition. Aside from Maguire, I think that despite Bellingham, the midfield is also a weakness. While I've been holding a very unpopular opinion around here that Henderson was underrated, I also think he is not at the level of what france and other contenders have at their disposal. Rice, for me, is the midfielder version of maguire: slow and pendantic on the ball (he will get slower as he ages -- CB might suit him better long term). Regarding France, they are better everywhere. It's more even in attack, but Mbappe is the best player in the world atm, and he's extremely hard to contain. Still, England has teeth, so it's certainly doable. They've been putting themselves in this position (to contend), and that's to be commended. The rest is up to the players, their will, strategy, prep, and lady luck. Just to be perfectly clear, I think France is the best team in this world cup and the one to beat. While strong, Brazil is more hype than actual quality on the pitch. While they have a lot of quality sitting on the bench, they also have glaring weaknesses in their starting XI (FB for sure but also AM, and CBs).

LOL oki m8, you roll with that 😜 now, I will completely agree on their fullback situ (I stressed that before the WC even started) they are fucked atm, just fucked: Alex Telles out for the rest of the WC Alex Sandro out for at least the next game Danilo carrying a knock, but supposedly can play leaving only 40yo-in-5-months Dani Alves (who should NEVER have made the team) as their ONLY truly healthy fullback Tite was crazy for not rolling with 2 of the following LB Caio Henrique LB Renan Lodi LB Douglas Santos LB Guilherme Arana RB Vanderson RB Emerson Royal RB Dodô RB Matheuzinho and NOT pick (at least, as Danilo was a suspect pick as well, crazy he did not roll with Vanderson for one of the 2 RBs) Dani Alves 39yo RB Éverton Ribeiro almost 34yo CMF robsblubot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will never come close to it, that’s a fact. I said the same after they won in 2018 look at just the winger pool they have to choose from (players who would or could play winger in the French scheme) and Leroy Sané could have chosen them too (as could many others, who now play for other nations due to no chance to make the final French squad, see at bottom) Kylian Mbappé Christopher Nkunku Antoine Griezmann Kingsley Coman Ousmane Dembélé Moussa Diaby Allan Saint-Maximin Martin Terrier Marcus Thuram Randal Kolo Muani Nabil Fekir Thomas Lemar Jonathan Bamba Sofiane Diop Rayan Cherki Jonathan Ikoné Alassane Plea Anthony Martial Michael Olise pnes who were eligible for France at one time Leroy Sané Wilfried Zaha Riyad Mahrez Bryan Mbeumo Saïd Benrahma Nicolas Pépé Ismaïla Sarr Kamaldeen Sulemana Jérémie Boga Maxwel Cornet Hamed Junior Traorè Johnnyeye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here the issue though: only 2 cbs play and Thiago and Marquinhos are just so similar and both aren’t that strong in the air (don’t have the height for it either), which does make Brazil vulnerable in set pieces esp. Marquinhos having to cover LB may fix that eh, but he’s vulnerable to pace. yeah the fb situation was baffling and o a lot of ppl. Alves is really a joke one of those manager things. The CAM is really paqueta and that’s it. Hardly a world beater. No KDB type in the selection. Neymar can roam there but Rodrygo is more of an attacker and also too young.
