I mean, can Barca, Real, or any big football club really, talk about integrity? I love how some fans think they have moral high ground because of "history". History's not a free pass for clubs to act like thugs or cunts, which is basically what any big team's management is doing. They only care...

True about Ronaldo. I was going to say that 2014 was during the FIFA-Ballon d'Or era, so kinda irrelevant now, but I just checked and even with the "old formula" he would have won the trophy that year. That being said, he also established the new record for most UCL goals in one season, in...

That's what disgusted me the most with Perez interview (and with those 12 clubs attitude overall). Trying to blame everyone else for their dire situation, from COVID to FIFA to players... No one forced them to spend dumb amount of money on Hazard, Maguire, Coutinho etc. No one forced them to...

Yeah, historically they always gave it to French players, so many of them got the Ballon d'Or, especially recently! Ask Rib?ry and Griezmann about it. I swear, you're a nice dude but sometimes you say the weirdest things. Ballon d'Or isn't given by a "French Organization". Basically, it's given...

That's a really tough question. Will players think the prestige of the upcoming SuperLeague is greater than anything else in football? Not sure, but since Mbappe already won the WC, he might decide to focus on winning a prestigious club trophy rather than a second world cup. It's been said that...

Some dude on twitter posted a list of France NT without the Super League players: Maignan, Mandanda, Areola Dubois, Clauss, Kounde, Kamara, Fofana, Kimpembe, Digne, Truffert Aouar, Veretout, Nzonzi, Caqueret, Tchouameni, Camavinga Mbappe, Gouiri, Ben Yedder, Diaby, Fekir, Thuram Of course...

Imagine not realising what that whole thing will mean in terms of TV revenues for the smaller team. It might not "kill" the interest of Serie A, but it might kill quite a few teams who didn't plan on suddenly losing most of their revenues AND having to deal with star players wanting out.

Hasn't it been established that the La Decision thing was Pique's idea, to promote one of his side jobs? As for the "same table" comment, yes, it was dumb. It was made at a time where he had a pretty amazing season though, and a lot of footballers have said and done dumber things. It's not...

He also was key on Messi's second goal with that beautiful one touch pass for Alba. I don't think anybody is saying he's repaid his transfer in full and is now Barca's most important player. But the hate he gets here sometimes is really baffling. Just look at that dude's post from before the...

As Laplacian said, his real level is not "worst player in Zenit". He was bossing Ligue 1 in a utter trash Bordeaux side. He might not have been good enough for Barca, but he's way better than what he's showing in Russia. His injuries didn't help, neither did the racist incident i' his first...

Obviously not. Like, not in a million years. And I'm one of the people who really believed in Dembele but even back then Mbappe was already ahead.

He also qualified them against Atalanta last year (he completely changed the game when he got subbed in). Not that it's a massive achievement in itself, considering the fact that it was only Atalanta, but it still was worth mentioning. Overall I agree that he hasn't completely changed PSG for...

Someone took that personnaly. I do know that France and Romania have the same number of CL trophies. I think any french football fan knows that actually, since it's a recuring them here: our clubs have as many CL's as nations like Scotland, Romania and Serbia. Everybody knows our club football...

Or else what? You'll call me out on that? Please do. It's the point of a forum. To talk about stuff.

Oh that was a discussion? "Griezmann robbed Ukraine because he scored a nice goal from outside the box 10 seconds after a 20cm offside wasn't seen by the ref"? That's the discussion you were trying to get me on? Thanks, I'll pass, and I'm pretty sure anyone with half a mind would too. I also...

Have you seen me teasing Barcelona and pretending it's a trash team anywhere on this board? No? Ok. Then maybe stfu?

Dude, you're romanian, how do you muster the confidence to try and tease me about my NT? There are more talented players coming from my hometown in the parisian suburbs than their have been in your whole country's history :lol: Though I'll admit I did love Hagi back in the days.

Add to that the fact that more competition on the player = higher wages required. If you're the only team in position to sign him this year, instead of one of 10 teams paying the clause next year, you won't have to outbid everyone on his salary. On a 5 years contract, that could make a pretty...

If it was the only embarrassing part of whatever malvolio's posting, it would be bearable. Sadly, it's not. Dude's over there nitpicking goals by players he hate just so he can shit over them all over again. So damn sad.

He did improve, but he stood out more when he was younger cause, well, he was younger so what he did was even more impressive. I agree his progression hasn't been impressive so far, but he is getting better still. A lot of people trashing him and praising Haaland seem to forget that Haaland...
