Overrated and lolzillian, also uruguay is a really good team

Uruguay is tough man. They are gritty as fuck.

Douglas Luiz is already not my favorite player.

he gonna be hated more than LocaLoca lol

why would you say this?

Some people here say McKennie is the reason we don’t win anything anymore. But perhaps it’s because we keep beating our meat to all these Lolzillians.

 

[Mark]

to unjinx him. I think he got the BD approval.

See I normally would agree with you but I really don’t think this is a bad generation at all. They just suck together as a unit.

It's a young group sure, but compared to older generations they are just not that good imo. Vini is your best player, how does he stack up against the likes of neymar, Ronaldinho, or Rivaldo? Brazil might be better tactically/defensively, but when did you ever imagine someone like paqueta playing the number 10 slot for la selecao?

The 2014 Brazil team when they were relying on Fred upfront was far worse than this current crop. Fuck even the midfield back then was worse, ramires, Oscar, Luiz Gustavo

Lots of countries don’t have one world class player.

I would argue Netherlands doesn’t have a single world class player.

Ref didn’t shake Pulisic’s hand

True.

But the Netherlands do have a lot of players who play for big clubs. Maybe they're not world class, but they're definitely good and experienced.

Not a single American would get in that team.

Colombia vs Uruguay match worth watching. And I want to see either of them beat Argentine (if Canada didn't) in the final.

Colombia were one of my pre tournament favourites

i watched this game, no one was passing. They were just trying to dribble or were getting fouled and diving as soon as they felt contact. Goes for both team. Terrible display

Can’t disagree. But I guess I’m starting to accept the fact Brazil will never be the same, whatever style they had got lost in this new press press press run run run football.

This is beyond just Brazil though. Watch that Bielsa video, now that’s a guy who truly understands the sport and he’s absolutely right. We’ll be seeing less and less individually skilled players and more of this boring tactical shit we’ve been watching in both tournaments.

It’s like the sport has been allegrified. sad times.

Or maybe it’s the case that Allegri was ahead of his time and everyone is catching up to him.

Maybe the copa america have worse games than euro, but their "fans" are miles ahead:

Spoiler: copa" fans"

If you have a team with players that are in shape, are strong and fast and not afraid to get physical, you can make things tough for any opponent.
