    17 - Marc Casadó

    MOTM. Needs more players around him who understand his pass & move vision and will play those runs with him. Olmo, Gavi. Best pivot player Barca has had since Busquets and Xavi. Always supplying the extra man for the triangle. Quickly shifts play towards open space rather than jam the ball into...

    João Cancelo

    He was very good. Intelligent player, technical, and a tricky dribbler for someone his height. Did exactly what Xavi asked of him, tbh.

    La Liga Round 1: Valencia - Barca 1-2

    Casado needs more players around him who understand his pass/move vision. Olmo and Gavi with Casado could be quite dynamic.

    La Liga Round 1: Valencia - Barca 1-2

    That pitch is soooo slow. Barca needs to adapt and put more pace on their passes.

    Ugh, that sucks. Exciting talent. Hopefully jut a slight detour.

    2024/25 Preseason

    We'll see. Most of these youngsters won't see game time once the season starts. You've already got more players ahead of him and he's unlikely to make the bench. But I'd prefer him to Romeu as a sub.

    2024/25 Preseason

    I'm liking Casado. Smart player, good positioning, fine ball control, excellent team awareness. First time I've seen him play. Nice to see more ball playing and less kick it up the wings play.

    His aggression pays off again.

    No question that Chivas defense was terrible.

    16 - Fermín López

    He's got aggression, the desire to attack, and good enough skills to back it up. That kind of opportunism wins you games.

    Do you play football? At any level

    I'm American, no one except east coast white prep school kids and Latino or African descent kids played football when I was growing up. That's changed in the past couple of decades, of course. I started playing football when I was 42 and fell in love with it. Was always a good athlete (lettered...

    Thanks for calling out the "Aryans Uber Alles" Nazis in this forum, John.

    There is no such thing as a "tranny and pedo" movement. You might want to look at who the pedophiles actually are. 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 7 boys are sexually abused by age 18. Kinda points the finger at het men being the majority of child abusers. As far as "satanic" (a Christian concept), it...

    Bigots love to say that when they are called out. I don't argue with bigots.

    Thiago Translantara

    Wrong. They know who they are, same as you do. It's no more funny to say "haha, he's cis" "haha he's het" than "haha he's trans" "haha he's gay" It's their bodies, it's their lives. Their gender or sexual identity are no more my business than yours is. It's a football forum. That some people...

    Why would that be "funny?" It baffles me that some people are so insecure in their own sexual identities that they feel the need to berate , make fun off, bully, and even assault and kill others for theirs.

    Very smart player. Maybe he can be the one to teach FdJ how to play football.

    Copa América 2024

    Attractive football from Canada. Too bad they lack finishing.

    Euro 2024

    Spain was way too loose in the last 10 minutes, lots of needless turnovers. Unnecessary long balls and cross-field balls. Corner into the box instead of a short corner. Players playing individual keepball (and losing) instead of an easy lay-off to a teammate. I'm find with working towards a good...
