Devil-Dick Willie Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Exclusivity, world audience and history make a trophy. That's why the world cup stands heads and shoulders above all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competitively wise international football isn't even in the same bracket as club so in that way most agree but World Cup as Dick said is the ultimate prestige of the game.

El Profesor Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 2010 Spain was actually an ultra defensive team that used to ball possession to defend. Terrible side to watch.

I was talking to people about that team a few weeks ago and how dominant they were, I disagreed, they played very poorly at that tournament, barely squeaking through the groups.

They played exactly like 1994 Brazil. Conservative, possession-based football. One of the dullest WC champions ever. Only 8 goals scored during the entire tournament.

Azeem Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Qatar national team project is commendable. They worked on the team for a decade. Gradually shifted from foreign naturalised players to decent local players. Won the Asian Cup in convincing fashion with this crop of players, of the few naturalised players now mostly are of close Afro-Arab heritage. Having some connection with the country.

Devil-Dick Willie Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 There seems to be a prevailing sentiment currently that Timo Werner was some sort of strike machine at RB. That he was a feared predator. He scored 1 in 3 chances on a good day at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Goes to show what he offers as a whole. He’s immense off the ball and always creates opportunities with his movement. He may not be on the end of chances but his goal involvement under Tuchel has been very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if he could put away the ones he should. Not saying imagine he had abilities like Zlatan and instincts like Gomez. Just imagine if he was average at putting the ball away. He'd be lethal. Instead he has a poor passing and finishing game, breaks up your attacks at times, and finishes almost nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is although I feel Football's Coming Home is a better song, it just makes you think of football heartbreak (both at a club and country level) so can lower your mood. Vindaloo meanwhile just reminds you of going out on the lash (to use a rather laddish turn of phrase) before football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 1 hour ago, shut up said: In the summer somebody posted on Twitter about them being overrated and they got cooked for it. An overrated team doesn't go full circle in winning the Euro, WC, and then the Euro again. As much as people slate Del Bosque, he implemented a system that was incredibly efficient.

Guest Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Spain 2008 -2012 were fantastic. Quite often certain teams peak at a certain time and other are in transition but that doesn't mean they arent great teams. There victorryniver italy in the euro 2012 final was one of the best performances I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeem Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Penalties should be taken by the players who are fouled. If they are too 'injured' than should be sidelined for 5-7 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted October 22, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted October 22, 2021 There are too many penalties in general nowadays. It's too big a reward for what often takes very little to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the logic in having the player fouled in the box (and possibly having an opportunity to score denied) being the same person to take the penalty. But also a rule like this would mean people who are shit at penalties just being hacked down in the box constantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I think there is a fundamental problem with penalties in that a lot of the penalty box isn't actually a super-dangerous position, attacking-wise. The corners of the box especially are pretty harmless areas. I'm not good enough at trigonometry to work it out, but the corners of the 18-yard box must be a good bit further than 18 yards away, because it's box-shaped. A semi-circular 18-yard area with the whole area being at most 18 yards away would probably be a more logical penalty area. But it would be too radical a change.
