OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Euro Cup and Copa America starting soon

[Coupé It]

Tried everything. Peacock is supposed to have it but, naturally, can't find it anywhere in that trash app.

Guess I'm sticking with illegal streams despite paying for all of these ****ing services

NBC Sports app? iPad only tho I think

Ah that's why. Who has an iPad these days? it's fine tho. The streams flowing from the east are clear and reliable.

Anyways re: the game itself. Entertaining and glad to see the 3 Gabi's getting to play together for the national team

Chippy is an understatement for how physical things have been. Guimares is probably going to get sent off since he doesn't have refs protecting him here.

This game needs finesse
It use to be finesse
Thanks to prem league players it’s been kick, body check, kick
, sprint, shoot and repeat

DiMaria needs to come in

 

[Coupé It]

This game feels racially charged

Argentina went the Bolosnaro route today.

Sad day

But I feel like they did it because that country is truly a mess.

Inflation is crazy in Argentina. 100-150%.

Unfortunately not enough people learn from history and it takes max pain before they learn to not elect fascists. Except it will still be the libs fault when their inflation spirals into worse and worse territory.

 

[MetalMario]

Of all the opportunities its the one where Joelinton is trying to keep his shoulder from being Salah'd

Has anyone ever had any expectations for Rodrygo? I like him as a player but so many other guys catch slander in here week-in-week-out and he gets to be pretty paltry in the production categories for a guy some try to make seem like he is a sure fire 100m forward?

 

[fluid hips]

Rodrygo is more of a supporting character. Not the main character

Still seems like he doesnt get any consistency playing any one position. I'll give him his flowers because when he's on his, day he can change a game.

If you see what 100m gets you in todays market, Rodrygo is probably worth that. And RM paid half of that for him. RM fanbase overall were obviously not pleased with his recent goalless run. But the thought was that he just needed one goal to get himself going and to stick by the 22 year old. Fwiw in his most recent La Liga match he had 2 goals, 2 assists, and a 10/10 who scored rating.

One of the issues with his development has been his consistently changing positions. He started really as a LW then was forced to re-train himself into a RW because Vini was better. He also was tried a bit as a 10 and a 9 last season (he is def not a 9) and now is learning a new role as being part of a striker partnership. Whether learning all these different positions will pay off in the long run only time will tell. He also doesn’t really have elite creativity or pace, and is not very strong or have a wide frame to make up for his shorter stature (like an Endrick) so he probably doesn’t have the highest ceiling.

Overall I think he can hang at the top level clubs, but he needs some continuity with a position and is probably best when playing a more secondary role to a superior player, and he does have the intelligence and technical ability to play off the best.

Edit: I also don’t think he’s a 10 like Brazil are trying to make him. Imo he’s at his best when he’s able to face the goal and run at defenders. And on the counterattack.

Respectfully, neither of you have a clue about Argentine politics.

I’ll just leave it at that.
