Hopefully this is Klinsmann's last stand. He can't be allowed to take another squad into the next WC. Although firing him now leaves his replacement with nearly no time to curate, develop a squad composition of his liking.

    Thought the ball didn't go completely out but really hard to tell that one. Either way, that goalkeeping :lol: That pretty much sums up this Dunga team, a circus.

    It's amazing how International level football has gone down the drain. You look at the Brazilian squad and you know there are great players there (I'm talking about the pool, not just the players at this year's Copa America), with pretty much a top player for every position yet they can't come up with a good working team. And this goes for most of the big teams out there...

    Same could be said about Argentina. So many good players, pretty underachieving and underperforming team. It's really lost it's magic. The only relevant football left is club level and not even that is that good anymore with only a handful of teams dominating. Oh well...

    There's far too much money in football today. It's the root of both the decaying level of international football, and the imbalance between the haves and have-nots in club football.

    The vast majority of players just aren't willing to put that much on the line for country any longer. It's not worth it, when they're getting 8 figure contracts for their clubs. Sure, the charm of winning WC, Euros, Copa is still there, but nowhere near to the same extent it was in the past.
