The "injury" is just an excuse tactic for when he goes MIA in the game.

Offensively Marcelo is great but as a FB you want your leftback to defend 1st. I'm still not sold on Filipe Luis only because he didn't do well at Chelsea and always looks like a shell of his Atletico self while with the Brazil NT. I'm starting to think he is only good in Simeone's system but...

He'd look crazy saying he'd take Griezman over (insert teammate here). We'd kill one of our players for daring to suggest the same. Cerezo also said the only BBC he knows is the tv station :xavi:.

AM is better collectively but Real have the better individual players. No one but Filipe Luis would make that Madrid team if it were based on individual players. Filipe Luis bombed at Chelsea and looks like a much more mediocre player when playing for Brazil also but Marcelo is pretty bad so...

I think Del Bosque just picks who he knows. Doubt he watches other teams because Javi M would be there instead of Marc.

Not surprised. Icardi is probably not going either.

Probably crying because he didn't win a CL lol...jk.

He has terrible knees and is always injured. We may have seen the best of him.

Icardi still can't get in because of the Wanda situation but guys like Lavezzi are there. And then people wonder why Argentina continues to fail.

Its sickening to me actually. I remember when Benzema was a massive prospect at Lyon. I even wanted us to buy him. I can only imagine the type of player he would have turned out to be had Crissy not been in the pic. You can see the fear in his face when he is in front of goal deciding whether to...

Argentina are always favorites and choke in the end. I doubt Europeans will care about this since its a purely commercial tournament. My coworker( French) asked me if the winner gets a cookie :xavi:. I almost punched him.

Yea I won't complain about him winning it. He has actually been better than I thought. Its just a sin that Lucho has't won it once or twice.....or 10 times in the past 2 season.

To be fair, Porto's defense has been terrible this year with the departures of key players. Still not a good stat to have.

Knowing Higuain, Aguero, and the rest of the choke squad, Argies will probably lose the final. I have a sick feeling Brazil will win it or at least get to the final and extend Dunga's reign of mediocrity. After the last international break there were rumBrazilian press that the players have no...

I hate that Real may win it but lets be real, CL is the biggest trophy in European club football. Just like Copa Libradores is massive in South America. Even Pique himself said so last month before Atleti eliminated us. Plus I listed to Nacho's comments. Its a lot more passive than the press...

To be fair, Pique has been nonstop this year. I love it though :p

I believe in luck and karma and all that other crap. I just can't see Real leaving Milan as losers with how their year has gone. Atletico were probably the best team in the competition (not the best tactics though) while Real steamrolled Europa League quality teams. I think it will be a lot...

I'm interested to see their midfield and especially Renato Sanches.

De Gea, Koke, Nolitio, Saul, and Carvajal won't start. You guys are giving VDB too much credit. Pedro, Cesc, and Iker will be in that XI and Spain will not win. They have good players but without good improvising from VDB, they will lose.

I'm surprised you have Spain going that far. They look way to static and I can see Poland knocking them off.
