    More developed than Brits as individuals and as a society? Not sure about that one. UK has always been more progressive (historically speaking) than those countries (Magna Carta, parliamentarianism, huge contribution to today's democracy, British Empire, English, there is a reason that we are...

    Champions League

    I am a diehard cholista "hasta la muerte" tonight. Don't like anything about the eternal bottlers in the CL (Juve) as a club and even less so with CR7 playing for them. Want to face Atlético in the final at the Wanda and win against them or knock them out in the quarterfinals or semifinals as...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    Yes, we agree. I mean if he is fully fit, he should obviously start. If not, there is no point risking him. Hamstring injuries can become very bothersome if not treated correctly and if not given the time to heal. Basically all of Dembélé's injuries so far (there have been 5 since he joined us)...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Mentioning overbooking of CB's as a possible problem is a sane observation. However with Murillo and Vermaelen being certain to leave this summer, Umtiti's immediate and long-term future being uncertain due to his knee problems, Piqué's relatively advanced age (32) and Todibo being a complete...

    7 - Philippe Coutinho - V1

    Looks like Chelsea and PSG will be some of the few realistic options out there if not the only ones that will be able to potentially pay €100 million or more for him. Can't see Man Utd go for him considering the fact that there are better and younger options out there. Can't imagine Liverpool...

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    By fully fit I obviously meant getting medical clearance to play. Should have been obvious. If that is the case there is no way that he should NOT start. If not, there is no point in even attempting to risk him by having him on the bench. We should be beating Lyon without him at home without...

    CL | 1/8 Finals: FC Barcelona - Lyon 5-1 agg.

    Sure, the point is though that there is nothing wrong with trying to limit your opponent from scoring in particular when going into the second leg completely tied and knowing that a draw (as long as not goalless which would be completely unrealistic) would make you exit the CL. You can and...

    Krzysztof Piatek

    He has been impressive but have in mind that AC Milan as a team have had the best period in freaking 6-7 years result wise in the same period that Piatek has been scoring his goals. People could argue that this is due to him alone but that is definitely not the case. Can't underestimate the job...

    Kylian Mbappé

    I don't disagree that RM (at least it looks like that) was closer to getting him than us back in 2017 (we could not have afforded both him and Dembélé that same summer) but disagree with users (not you) talking about him moving to RM (should he ever move from PSG) as a given. I don't believe...

    Kylian Mbappé

    You are probably well aware of the fact that we were equally interested in him back in 2017. Probably less due to Dembélé but interest was a given. Remember reading several articles last summer about this exact topic. Articles such as Dembélé being the wrong buy and that Mbappé should have been...

    Qatar FC

    Point taken and I forgot to mention that as well. However Denmark is anglophilic (although many like Spanish and Italian football from my experience) as well but since ages ago always had great technically gifted players. From the time of Simonsen, Arnesen, Lerby and such players not to mention...

    Qatar FC

    :lol: Heard Danes say the exact thing about you Norwegians.:lol: However yes, Danish is notoriously difficult to learn for foreigners. Some of the words are completely impossible for me to pronounce (almost) and I always had an ease of learning languages and have a great command of several...

    Qatar FC

    Well, without money none of the top dogs, including the top leagues, would go around. Money makes the world go around. The biggest problem in Norway (even if the state started bankrolling all clubs and the first division) is lack of a football culture comparable to the elite leagues of Europe...

    Qatar FC

    Yeah. I think that written Norwegian and Danish is almost identical. Spoken it is another thing from what I have seen. Still understandable given the closeness. Similar to how a Spaniard and Italian will understand each other without much problem mostly and likewise a Spaniard and Portuguese.

    You are preaching to the wrong guy here. My dislike of QSG and their model is well-known here. Just a funny observation. Nothing else. Wish Spain and Italy had as much black gold and oil but I guess the Spanish Colonial Empire and the Roman Empire is more than enough for the next many millennia...

    No shots taken just some facts thrown around. A bit funny though. You guys have the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world too due to that same black gold and gas, to make matters even worse. Bloody hell.:lol...

    Are you not Norwegian? Half of your country's current fortunes are due to the oil and gas while having a tiny population, man. Read not many years ago that Scandinavia was piss poor until 100 years ago (been the case for most of recorded history apparently). You guys have a GDP (nominal) per...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    A bargain if he proves to be worth the hype and potential. That's 10+ years of service potentially right there. A no brainer. That is if he fulfills his potential and becomes even half as good as many people believe he will. If you ask most Ajax fans they will tell you that de Ligt is a safer...
