so please don't take my Solskjaer away...

What a season I've experienced as a fan. For the 1st time I've been to several Utd games in the same season : Sociedad & Barça (my best game live ever) in Spain + Villa (my 1st time ever at Old Trafford) 🤩

+ I had the chance to record a podcast with @SheltieDevil about Cantona

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

From early on before the World Cup, I said Brazil wouldn't do much and would get knocked out early. Shadow of the team they used to be. Not much flair anymore, average players.

Plus I feel Ancelotti is past it, his last stint at Real was quite bad and left them in a rough shape.

[Scott Saunders @__scottsaunders]

Shame to see Brazil with such little swagger and flair isn’t it. Can’t say I’m surprised they’re going out here - which is something that feels wrong to say…because it’s Brazil.

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

@MichaelTP_ Yes this is very true.

I just feel in this case what he said and how he reacted was quite childish.

I don't care much for Mbappé as he never played for my club unlike CR but he reacts differently to this kind of things. He says things without looking touchy and attacking.

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

What a child... Imagine being 41 years old, having won all the money and titles he has won, being as successful as he is, being one of the most famous person in the world, and in the end having such a frail ego and behaving like this... 🤦‍♂️

I expected Norway to eliminate Brazil but tbh I didn't expect them to dominate so much ! Nyland was unbelievable & he had much to do so all wasn't rosy but their collective cohesion, defensive solidity, attacking intent & overall quality/maturity were incredible + a great Haaland

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

The goalkeeping in this World Cup has been so good and enjoyable, really world class. Just in the last few days, fantastic showings from the GKs of Congo, Cabo Verde, Morocco, Paraguay, Norway...

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

@MichaelTP_ My point is why would CR care about what one random guy thinks about him. He should be above that. He's one of the most successful person in human history. Why does he care ? Just ignore him. But this would require a maturity that he doesn't have. He needs people to love him.

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

@MichaelTP_ Well my narcissism isn't defined by what people think about me but by what I am & what I have achieved in life, so I don't need to defend myself against what someone else thinks about me as I don't care, it doesn't affect me.
This comes from being confident, self assured & calm.

[We’ll Never Die 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪 @glazerscashcow]

Every summer without fail you have people losing h their shit about transfers.

United could confirm 3 or 4 signings over the next month and they’ll all be in the door with plenty of time to spare.

Our 1st game is on the weekend of the 22nd of August!!

I have a lot of faith in the new mgt team. Calm needed 🇾🇪🇾🇪🇾🇪

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

@Rahul_Ramdas Surely not true. If true, maybe with the Ugarte injury and this summer inflated prices, the club feels it's better to use these 40M on other more important deals ?

@Cantona_Collars I always hated him and his football and never wanted him as our manager.

My theory is that he thought he'd be the chosen one to replace SAF, that was his dream and not being picked broke him and started his downfall into toxicity and being past it, he never recovered from that.

[Cantona Collars AKA Larry @Cantona_Collars]

Thankfully the quality and character of the better footballing team shone through in the end.

Paraguay = anti-football

All credit to them for being defensively brilliant BUT they played like thugs, scumbags & cheats 🚮

[Kieren @AlexFerghassan]

Good fucking riddance to Paraguay and their #23, the absolute rat. Not here to play football, just to fight and injure players. Referee also needs to be sent home with them.

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

Absolutely shameful game from that Uzbek referee. Letting Paraguay cheat and foul and kick and provoke all game but gives away cards for french players as soon as there is a contact. If it was vs Messi's Argentina, Paraguay would've had 2-3 red cards. Incompetence or corruption.

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

@Cantona_Collars No but it illustrates that there were links from when he was in Germany

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

New Zealand-France
Canada-Morocco
Argentina-Scotland
Paraguay-France

Well that's a very productive day spent in front of the telly... 😅

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

@chrismchittock @Altgthr @redgrose7 I feel it has already been found, it's winger, left if we want him to cross with his left foot or right if we want him to come inside and shoot from his left foot.

[ericantona @_ericantona_]

So far in this WC only hosts Mexico and favorites France have a perfect run of 4 wins in 4 games. France conceding 2 goals, Mexico conceding none.

Is Mexico's home run at the Azteca deceptive given the opponents they face there or can they shock a disappointing dull England ?
