“There’s nobody like Messi and I don’t think that there ever will be somebody like Messi. [He's] a generational talent, it’s like [Diego] Maradona and then Messi has just had that crown but there’s other players… Jude Bellingham, you know. [Christian] Pulisic is coming up,” said Lloyd.

I mean we have fucking Lianne Sanderson talks like a fucking chav and looks like a fat version of Antony, fucking Eni Aluko annoys me too (ironic how these 2 played for Juve women) no wonder Joey Barton called her out to such a degree that she ran off to Morocco for a few weeks fearing for her life just as she ran out of Turin claiming that shop owners looked at her weirdly there for its a racist place, then suddenly you got so many other former england women players who talk such shit with 0 insight, you begin to question whether they even played the game.

I know this is a whole new level but in fairness they talk as much nonsense as their male counterparts. Putting up with exspurts like Keane and Neville was bad, now it's some random woman who can kick a ball.

I mean lets take 20cm for example, thats hardly a measurement which would be deemed as a major advantage. I just find it amazing how every sport I watch where technology is used seemingly works, but with football, nothing works.

these systems have a learning curve for everyone involved, including the federations, regulatory bodies, teams/players and of course those who pay for the whole competitions (so us, spectators). patience is needed

that said, var in italy is a grotesque joke, the protocols are inconsistent and not transparent enough, and there's the semi automated offside that we discussed. i don't think we can get rid of var so the best we can do is to sit out until it's properly used. not too many people like the current state of var, so changes are expected to happen

btw 20 cm is a lot. it's almost a complete human head or a foot. 21st century technology can do better. or if it cannot then just admit it and use it considering the margin of error

they'll never remove the technology in place, too much has already been invested in it, but take VAR for example, Italy has had it for 7 years now and its still just as problematic as it was day 1, and I can't see it improving any time soon still.

Football has changed forever to a degree I really can't stand it at times, maybe I have football to thank to increase my interests in other sports which I would never have considered watching years ago.

Micah Richards bottom left looks like a dead ringer for Eni Aluko

I hate VAR and women's commentators so much.

Football isnt the same anymore.

You guys are lucky that Tuz is an alpha male platform, otherwise we’d probably have the women right’s and “me too” movements going berserk.

 

[AFL_ITALIA]

Yeah, women are pretty scary.

Both yellow cards are for diving

Yildiz reaches out to shake ronaldos hand and he just got ignored.

Ronaldo probably thought he was just some kid in a Turkey kit who jumped the fence for another selfie.

God that is frighteningly pathetic. I mean, it sets back women announcers at least 20 years.

The only American announcer I honestly ever respected was the color commentary from Brandi Chastain years ago. She deconstructed player moves and game tactics off the ball that few men were ever good at. So naturally the U.S. fired her instead to replace her with clown material.

Cambiaso on the wing

I thought allegri was a retard for that idea... makes you wonder why spalletti doesn't use proper wingers

 

[Badass J Elkann]

sommer is such a overrated keeper

 

[maxi]

As bad as Locatelli has been this season, I would take him over Cristante any day. Not sure why this useless player is still getting picked.

 

[swag]

Am I the only one who thinks Julian Nagelsmann looks like an extra on “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”?

Hungarian UFC team came out tonight.

Spalletti picked some really random players like el shwaary and folorunsho, it was like spalletti wasted his selections on such shit or players he's never going to play.

 

[MrMonkey]

Underwhelming for me to say the least, but Fagioli for Cristante I could easily turn to liking. From at least a Juve standpoint what we have.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

At this point if things stay this way, the 2nd place in group B plays Germany…povera Italia

 

[s4tch]

damn.... get better soon varga

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Damn. He got fucked up

 

[JuveJay]

Guy was unconscious when he hit thr ground. Best of luck to him.

Looked like a pen for Scotland then. Wow, looked worse on the replay. Bizarre.
