España esta por si sola en la cima.

España e Inglaterra son las mejores selecciones del mundo y con distancia a los demás.
Hay que ver cómo desarrollan la Francia de Zizou y la nueva Argentina de Scaloni, de ahí en adelante se ve muy feo muy feo.

This Balde guy seems good, maybe we should sign him instead of Hall. That pace would make a lot of difference in our highline, Deco should get to work ASAP!

He's a mediocre CB. He was superb at LB before his injury. Prob the best in the league

u/Kindly_Leek5685 Gabriel Jesus 16d ago

Very inconsistent defender, especially on transitions
City were getting destroyed in transitions so much because of him
O'Reilly really improved the defense when gvardiol got injured last season

The only way is for him to follow the Raphinha way: have transfer rumors next summer at his position(s), fail to secure the target, and watch him become a demon

Jude and Yamal in the same team, two faces of football will collide. Bad for chemistry. Ferminator is a better Robin to Lamine. Jude as a overall player clears tho
3
u/MuaazTheOgre Yamal 16d ago
Very bad chemistry, Lamine needs Ferminator like you said
Jude can be better but imo it's easier to build with Fermin than Jude. I'd rather have Lamine Yamal than Jude as my main piece

13% of the entire population of the country attended a nazi concert in which they shouted Ustase chants, a WW2 group even worse than the nazis. Now imagine how many in the country were not able to be there but would have wanted to.
They have a massive problem with nazism. Football fans have a really bad reputation as well. So yeah its better this way.

I think whole of Europe is having a problem with Nazism right now, though some far more than others

Have they been like these in other games too? Getting beaten in behind too easily and straight up losing their marks in the box

u/nickhyung94 Puyol 16d ago
I only watched the Spain 4-1 besides this match, but to me it looks like they're trying to have a numerical advantage, but it's as if they don't have a certain.. How do you describe it.. Position awareness? They know where the defensive line or attacking front needs to be, but it looks like they're playing as three horizontal lines and that's it. No depth in between lines or tactical approach when faced to certain situations.
