I don’t recognise tournaments with 3rd place qualifiers as legitimate competitions.

Don’t sully any WC threads with that tournament.

Bit harsh on 1986.

The like is purely for your grammatical edit. On the subject concerned, I refer you to my previous post.

This book is really good:

Wish there was an equivalent from an African author however.

That looks great. There’s a documentary on Netflix covering the French side from a similar angle as well which is meant to be excellent. Have had it on my watchlist for ages now, need to get round to it.

BBC highlights just gibbing off the entire first half of Germany-South Korea. Like it👍

I’d watch that

I read this and think it mad to suggest Löw oversee a transition period where older players are moved on and younger ones take their places. The guy didn’t pick Sané even

“From a neutral’s point of view it is also exciting that there will definitely be a new world champion.”

Sorry to break it to you Brazil, Uruguay, France, England, Spain…

Guys a thought just occurred to me which helped me feel quite a bit more relaxed. What i or any of you think about whether England should ‘try’ to end up on one side of the draw has literally no bearing on what will actually happen.

Really took the weight off my shoulders that.

I for one welcome our new Swedish Champions.

Word :+1:

but he did take Brandt (22), Sule (22), Kimmich (23), Werner (22) all of whom had been proven more consistent at international level than Sané…

I appreciate Sané has had a great season, but I honestly don’t think he would changed a damn thing.

sorry, should add, obviously Sané should continue to have opportunities going forward, especially after this campaign, if he keeps playing well at club level and in place of older players, but the problem of having such a deep squad and not having a consistent plan with them was a big factor here which Sané probably would have only made things worse

this is for me as much as anyone else, but I think we should definitely moderate the ‘banter’ in these threads to make them enjoyable for everyone.
