He didn’t win 1 La Liga title, he won 4 in a row and a Europa Cup 1.
Is it just a coincidence that Paqueta played for Milan, or is he also part of the expose that’s going on in Italy right now.
Lee Carsley winning the 2028 home Euros with a front line of Madueke-Delap-Philogene.
Phillips needs more game time. We aren’t blessed with loads of defensive midfielders which is why he’s there
Eh, “presumably from” is doing a lot of heavy lifting the
Did remind me of a spectacular dumb post I saw in a different sub celebrating the Spanish WWC win over England because the (very American) poster didn’t want to see a nation of colonisers win 😂🤷♂️
Lionel Messi is still the main man for Argentina
Marcelo Morelo Martins is still the main man for Bolivia

When will CONMEBOL finally move on man? It is the year of our lord 2023
The future generations are in trouble
Sancet could half pass as a proper name in Basque or some other regional dialect of Spain, but Oihan?? That’s a high elf carpenter or something
I think I will die if Boca signs Messi even for a short loan. Probably bs but I don’t think my mind would comprehend it and I would just get a stroke.
For those who think Bellingham is overrated, what exactly are his weaknesses? The only glaring one that I can think of is he’s not really a controller like a Kroos or Xavi, but that’s probably due to the position that Ancelotti is playing him this season. If Madrid sign a world-class striker next season, and Bellingham goes back to his usual midfield position, we’ll probably see him focus more on controlling the game. Maybe you can argue his technique/eye test is overrated, but technique doesn’t really matter if you’re producing results on the pitch
Please a match thread we’ve already scored.

Nope, 30 degrees on October is unbearable.
They’ve formed some sort of psychic connection in that summer where they went to United and Chelsea, after each was supposed to go to the other club. Never cross streams.
Spot on. You’re not reading too much into it at all, it’s just something that a lot of people don’t have the language for. Especially the part about his masculinity. The pearl clutching about the sarong in particular was pathetic. As for the supposed “distraction” of it all it seemed more like people tried their hardest to let themselves be distracted into caring about anything but his quality as a player. And you’re so spot on, I think most people wouldn’t admit it but the fact that he engaged with traditionally “feminine” interests with the modeling and fashion in not just society at that time but football in particular caused most people the most grief. And they’re pathetic for it. It’s also something I really respect Beckham for, just like how I respect Dennis Rodman for it (engaging with “femininity” and expression through fashion, makeup, hair etc). I’m truly upset thinking about how all these backwards people banded together to project their own insecurities and misery onto these men who went against stupid gendered conventions
Have Match Threadder’s thread been wonky lately for anyone else
