Massive difference between the two teams tonight. Itay were pretty shit, but not taking anything away from Argentina who do look like a real team currently. That hasn't always been the case. 1654116934 Football often goes in cycles. Italy were a very good team for 2-3 years, now they aren't...

Perhaps a very very long fluke? :boh:

Italy looked/played like the best team in the Euros so would hardly call it a fluke. Also worth noticing that Verratti, Chiesa, Insigne, Berardi, Immobile and Spinazzola are missing from the group that won that tournament. This is a very different team with even less firepower up front than...

Jorginho, Immobile and Berardi won't be, the rest might be.

liar!

Will be included in The Pogmentary part II: Rejuvenated

Get ready for the Pogmentary

In what kind of role does Weston play for the USMNT?

I think the point is that you can sit deep, lose the possession stat, lose the shooting stat and barely press and still win these games. There seems to be this weird belief around here among certain populace that you can only win by playing a certain way. Also when we win a game playing like...

I'm not claiming that they don't have crazy quality in mid and up top to change games. It's actually pretty amazing how clinical they were during this CL campaign. As you pointed out they're not some defensively super solid team either even though they do sit deep for majority of their games...

They did though. Real played dino soccer against PSG, Chelsea and City as well.

Imo Destiny sounds more like a name for a porn actress/stripper.

Esposito is another interesting one. Has pretty much always started in midfield for the U21 over some better known names and now even got included in the senior squad.

He was called up to the NT training camp that took place a few days ago. That training camp was almost exclusively for young players with the likes of Miretti, Rovella and Fagioli being there among others. These recent call ups however are for the Argentina game with most of the non-injured...

Why didn't you dig up old posts and ask this question last year? Also I never said Vrioni can't improve, I have no clue how good or bad he is or was. I simply pointed out the inconsistencies in your reasoning.

Correct? One plays for Juventus in Serie A while the other plays for Tirol in some third rate league. There are levels in football.

Tebas having a massive meltdown is definitely the most entertaining part of this transfer saga. Also kudos to Mbappe for staying in Paris and making an absolute fortune.

Will definitely be interesting to see where we play him. I don't think he's the box-to-box Pogba anymore that he was during his first stint here. Not sure this ageing and somewhat physically declined Pogba has the legs for that kind of role anymore. Seems more of a playmaker these days, but...

His quality shouldn't be in question, he's been a top class mid since he broke through to first team football. The injuries however are worrying. Hopefully by some miracle he's able to stay relatively fit for the next 3-5 years.
