Vamos Albania!

The difference is other CFs might be able to run and press whilst Ronaldo at this point is just like a midtable or EL level poacher.

Ronaldo is just totally finished, he shouldn't even be in the squad let alone the first 11 if we are being honest, just there for his name. And that's normal. He is nearly 40 years old. It's time to retire.

Spain are certainly a much better side with the direct threat of Nico and Yamal on the wings. Very strong side this year.

Italy Spain is a tossup, Italy were actually very good against Albania but couldn't finish, they look sharp. Personally hoping for a Spain W so they already qualify.

I don't think either of them are people to look up to, to be honest, although, Messi is better than Ronaldo character-wise simply for the fact of not being a rapist. Messi is very arrogant and egotistical, he just keeps it more behind the scenes and gives a humble guy image to the public. It's...

Watching the game I didn't have the idea Croatia are really any better than Albania to be honest, they have technically strong players but they seem physically quite weak, especially in the midfield. Unfortunately Albania missed a major chance to win this game and actually get points from Italy...

Manaj's hold up play has been fantastic today.

Good first half, we are playing with far more fight and actually pressing in our half, also Broja being benched has helped the team, he was terrible against Italy. Shame that we only have 1 goal with 3 clear chances, hopefully we don't regret it, as it will be very difficult to qualify if we...

We are not that bad, I assure you.

We could sell Faye, but as you say, there are better ways to do it. In general, a player's value is greatly increased by first team appearances, especially with big clubs, a few good performances with Barca first team and the player gains more attention and more value. There were a lot of easy...

Albania first (home country) then England. But Albania were doomed from the start with such a draw so it'll have to be England after the group stage. It is said every tournament but England have a great chance to win this one. No side seems particularly strong.

Hey. Nice to see you back as well (last I was here you were banned for some reason I wasn't aware of).

This is what I mean about selling high and buying low. They sold Ronaldo, but we'd never ever sell Messi at any point, for example, just because of the sentiment, even if it was clear he was on the decline (very normal for a player of 34 or 35 years old). Too much emotion and sentimentality in...

It doesn't mean we can't still compete. We can still compete, but with long term objectives in mind. The fans and the club should accept that we're on a worse footing for now and it is more difficult to win immediately. That doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to try and win the league each year...

The main problem with our transfer strategy is that we buy high and sell low. We buy players at the worst times, at the peak of their prices or in older age, and when they're hyped with a very high price tag from their club, but we rarely get in early or buy players who's stock is not so high...

The problem is that fan opinion and the direction of the club is more connected than you think, in fact, the fans are the ones causing us to have such a strategy. Fan pressure and socio voting is what's causing us to repeatedly have presidents who are desperate for short term success because...

In a phrase : it's like trying to fly before you can even walk. Or trying to win an F1 Grand Prix with a Ford Fiesta. We don't have the foundations to consistently challenge at the top yet, and instead of taking some time out to work on them for the future, we're desperately trying any short...

Madrid don't play particularly poor football either, though, they just tend to sit back and not challenge for the ball mostly against other top teams. They are definitely capable of keeping the ball and playing positional football, they just don't specialise in any particular type of football...
