Agreed 👍 Think France might have a stronger squad but aye, there’s no outstanding side in the competition…

You didn’t say that though , you said they didn’t receive large transfer fees

it’s their modus operandi as a club…buy in & develop young talent then sell it for millions 👍

€84 mill Sancho €64 mill Pulisic Wherever he goes it’ll be well over €100 mill

How many clubs on the planet can afford such a talent?

ITV x 2 mins behind on the stream… Saturday afternoon vibes here

Mbappe yeah ok going to be an all time great….are anyone going to properly attack this French defence before the semi finals?

Did some rotten bastard off here send you all them?

You’re suggesting he’s a bit of cunt?

Who was on the comms/summarising? I’ve listened to most of the early games, Rob Green and Pat Nevin are excellent, Matt Upson is pretty good, Nedum Onuha is canny too. Is it all in sync?

A star was nearly born…

Think Charles Barkley has been on the Pabst blue riband

Yanks should’ve been two up before they scored

This half has been mint Yedlin with the pre assist

Me & the current Mrs PL once had lunch with Nathan Ake and his missus . Well, they were at the next table to us in Zizi’s when he was at Bournemouth. It was a Saturday during the season but an international weekend. I told him, “Nate, mate, if you want to be involved with Oranje you’ll have to join a higher profile club than AFCB…” Glad to see he took my advice….

Bit of a theme for you today “If you don’t like it go home” as someone famously said . Yesterday

That’s spot on like. It’s bollocks to suggest that there’s been some sort of unbroken thread from the sides who won 3 out of 5 58-70

Yeah, and that was a break from all the complaints in 74 & 78 Every time Hugh Mcilvaney wrote about Brazil at a World Cup he mentioned it. 82 was the last flowering of it what you could describe as the traditional Brazilian way but you also have to remember that Mario Zagallo coached the 1970 WC winners, held up as the all time peak of footballing beauty (heavily influenced by it being the first World Cup widely screened in colour on TV) but he also coached the brilliantly effective winners in 1998…

Learn Basque with Athletic Club on a Saturday morning you say? @Diego21 “The butcher of Bilbao”

There have been journalists writing articles about Brazilian coaches not employing traditional Brazilian football tactics and employing a more European type since 1974 A lot of the current players including that fuckin wanker Neymar endorsed Bolsonaro. The coach Tite is a known leftist. If this lot fail it’ll be partly down to that particular schism Oh and I know it’s late on a Friday night @Dr Gloom but Kevin de Bruyne is Belgian
