World Cup: National Team threads

[Mr Plow]

50/60M I'm guessing.

That's insane money for a defensive midfielder but if you get €45m for Bakayoko then I don't know why you'd expect anything less than €50/60m for Fabinho.

Monaco rejected 50+ last summer.

Was that from PSG?

 

[Deficient Mode]

50M for a top defensive midfielder is not insane at all in this day and age. I'll be disappointed if BVB don't get at least that much for Weigl this summer.

 

[Evilo]

Was that from PSG?

At least PSG yes.

 

[Power Man]

Portuguese FA has confirmed on Twitter they'll be playing friendlies vs Tunisia and Algeria. Morocco is in their group

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Neymar set to miss next 5 games... good timing his sisters birthday is coming up. So, need for any excuses.

Dybala might miss the next argentine friendlies... his spot for the WC is in doubt too. f*** the AFA.

1/ There's no timetable for his return yet.
2/ You can act like a dumped girlfriend all you want, but his injury wasn't an excuse.

I read different either way he's out for the most important game for PSG this year.

I meant no need for any excuses.

 

[Evilo]

Really?
Emery just denied it. Said they'll know right before the game.

Why would he want to miss the Real game exactly? He did sprain his ankle.

You're getting confused and that's my doing trying to post while in class. I meant its a good timing that he got hurt just prior to his sisters bday... so, there's no need to make any excuse this time.

Yup, I've read he was out for 5/6 games... if Emery denied clearly the article is wrong. Not the first time. I hope he makes it obviously. Need PSG at full strength to knock out Madrid.

The way RM is playing today...not necessarily.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He clearly did his ankle on purpose last sunday.

 

[YNWA14]

I can't claim to know anything about their relationship but those pictures make them look very...close. Her birthday is probably very important to him.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Icardi and Dybala both set to miss the next set of friendlies... yeah, more pipita missing sitters in the final.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I didn't say that. I posted a tweet.

 

[Cassano]

Jesus look at the second and fourth pic. That's not normal man.

 

[Evilo]

I didn't say that. I posted a tweet.

Which implies what exactly?
That he makes sure to miss the game to celebrate his sister's birthday.
So yeah...

I found it interesting that it had happened four years in a row. There was no implication other than the fact was interesting.

 

[Evilo]

Sure.
Absolutely no intent at all in that tweet. And your post.

Lautaro called up to Argentina next friendlies. What stands out for me is how bad their GK are. Two backups and a guy that plays in Liga MX, not great.

Terrible Pavon gets a call when the likes Dybala/Paredes had to force their way on to the squad and not get much of a chance. Only reason is because they're home based.

Knew this was coming but its still shitty to see. I guess they would rather live in fantasy land than have a legit team. Unsurprisingly. As long as the money gets funnelled everything is A ok.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Torreira to get called up for the first time.

 

[Live in the Now]

Finally. Tabarez played Valverde and Vecino in the last qualifiers so I assume Torreira goes behind them. Those first two midfielders were pretty good getting the ball forward.
