  1. Chavismo transformed venezuelans into the low class of south american. It´s a humanitarian disaster. Today, the United States, Brazil and many other nations have recognized Juan Guaidó as the legitimate president of Venezuela. Hopefully, this is beginning of the end for Maduro.
  2. Surprised by how fast Vinicius Jr. adapted to european football. He probably should be a starter at this point.
  3. Good stuff. Hope you enjoyed your visit. :)

    Looks a bit indeed. My mom´s family genealogical tree starts with a freed african slave that got married to a german man.

    Found an old family pic. I´m the boy.
  6. Rio Branco, Acre? That´s a really unusual destination for a foreigner. Acre is the most remote state of Brazil. Not much to do there and not very safe, be careful.
  7. I agree, Ancelotti and Napoli are not made for each other. Hot take, but I´m not sure if Carlo will finish the season employed. And Diego Laxalt will be a Milan player. Another creative and smart deal for Milan.
  8. Milan is in a very tough spot. They were almost thrown out the Europa League for breaking the FFP, so they can´t spend. But at the same time, they need to sign players to get back to the Champions League and increase revenues. Unlike Li Yonghong, Elliott Fund is loaded but they aware they can´t use their finacial might in the near-future. It´s an unfortunate situation for Milan, their only hope is if both Napoli falls down under Ancelotti (which I believe it´s very probable) and Roma take a step back.
  9. Milan´s signed Samu Castillejo from Villareal in a deal involving Carlos Bacca. 3 million euros loan + Bacca + 15 million euros obligatory buy clause next season. (This is Milan circumventing FFP). Seems to me a good deal to Milan. Getting rid of Bacca´s high salary and getting a player they need, a winger. Thoughts @SirBalon ?
  10. Unlucky break for Gomes. Obviously, injuries are never welcomed but this one in special is tough. I feel like he has to leave Barça in order to rebuild his career and now it´ll take more 6 months.
  11. Watched the game. It was worth staying up. Some impressions: - Arthur looked comfortable and had a very good debut. The same for Lenglet; - Semedo and Rafinha were very impressive. In my opinion, Barcelona should keep Rafinha. He looks much more confident, the Inter loan did him a lot of good; - Marlon was solid. Everton should take a look, a package for Mina, Digne and Marlon makes sense for them; _ Riqui Puig, he has a future. Kid looks really good; - Malcom played with the Barcelona B in the 2nd half, but he showed some flashes, I liked what I´ve seen; - The guy who´s impressed from Barça B was Ballou. Good player. I also liked Cucurella.
  12. Only 1h30min from Arthur´s debut with Barça. It´s happening, @SirBalon! Excited for my boy. Hopefully he impresses Barça fans tonight and I´m also hoping for a good debut by Malcom as well.
  13. @Teso dos Bichos has a point.
  14. The most perfect match I´ve ever seen a football team play was Barcelona in the 2010/11 Champions League final against United.
  15. 10 years ago, Pep Guardiola took over as Barcelona coach. It changed football. @SirBalon @The Rebel CRS this is amazing to watch:
  16. Pedro can´t be stopped right now. The 21-year old striker score 2 more goals today and is the top scorer of Campeonato Brasileiro with 9 goals. He´s been promissing but it took a while for him to adapt to professional football, but in 2018 he definitely hit a stride. 1st goal 2nd goal
  17. I think he is too good for brazilian football. Best Cruzeiro player. A really talented attacking midfielder and he also score his goals. I don´t think Cruzeiro will be able to keep him, I believe Arrascaeta is leaving in this transfer window to an european club. Monaco was said to be interested.
  18. Vinícius Jr. was oficially presented today. He was already training with the group. It´ll be interesting to see if he´ll make the team or if they´ll send him to Castilla. apparently, he is impressing in the training sessions.
  19. Great post, Antoñito. Do you think the success Barcelona had in the Iniesta, Xavi, Messi era is responsible for Florentino´s shift of philosophy? Despite the recent Champions League success I doubt he´s satisfied with Barcelona getting closer and closer at their record number of La Liga titles. Like you said, Lopetegui is known for his work with youngsters and they also spent a lot of money on Vinícius Jr. and Rodrygo. And it´ll also be interesting if Odegaard gets a look.
  20. Fábio Rochemback was impressive at Internacional and at the U-20 level. To be honest, it was a decent gamble. The real mistake was the Geovanni signing, he was never good enough to play for Barça. I´ll be following Arthur closely. Can´t wait for the friendlies.
  21. Most at Barça didn´t know Arthur and had no idea of what to expect of him and considering the last few signings from Brazil didn´t do very well, there was a lot of suspicion regarding Arthur, but in his first days of training he already impressed his teammates and coaches with his intelligent passing, positioning and how he holds the ball. This kid left his home when he was 14 to move to Grêmio, he is from a region of Brazil not known for developing good footballers and he had to move to Porto Alegre in order to improve. He is a fighter. I don´t know if he´ll thrive at Barça, but if he doesn´t, it won´t be due to lack of work. Love his attitude. Keep up the good work, Arthur. https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20180715/45908117869/arthur-barca-impresiona-entrenamientos.html So proud of my boy, @SirBalon and @The Rebel CRS.

    I´m thinking about cooking "kafta" tomorrow. Lebanese food, it´s delicious.
  24. He was very angry about not being part of the french squad and sent a letter to FFF asking to remove him from the reserve list.
