I think Bernardo Silva is going to pleasantly surprise people. Some of his attacking numbers dropped but mainly because he played deeper last season. But his defense and passing is still at a very high level. Would not be surprised if we reflected on his signing as a success by the end of the season.
Lots of recency bias with him. I think people have the World Cup in mind without really factoring in that Portugal team was A) tanked by one of the worst international managers we’ve seen; B) they had Neves, Vitinha, Bruno in the XI already. Also see some unfair statements on him because of losing Rodri.. “the wrong midfielder from City”. Eh, I give him the benefit of the doubt.
Camavinga’s problem isn’t his lack of quality, he’s always been an incredible talent, the problem is his lack of professionalism and his consistent injuries, which when combined, he’ll struggle to be a starter. His quality is undeniable.
He actually might change lives next season.
You can make a case for Joao Pedro being the best ST in the league not named Erling Haaland.
The drop off from him to Delap is shocking.
Welbeck off the bench is gonna be a serious asset I reckon as he should keep the levels up.
Luis de la Fuente, king of Spain!
🏆 2015 Euro U-19
🏆 2019 Euro U-21
🏆 2023 Nations League
🏆 2024 Euro
🏆 2026 World Cup
He’s won it all his way, the Spanish way, with HIS guys.
Show this man the respect he’s earned!
Leandro Paredes should be banned from international football for life viciously assaulting Spanish players after the final whistle.
Indefensible thuggery and criminality.
Que tío más asqueroso. Está Rodri corriendo a celebrar que es campeón del mundo y le mete un guantazo por la puta cara
Este tío no puede volver a pisar España y espero que el Atletico de Madrid le mande a tomar por culo
Incredible that Argentina haven’t had a player sent off sooner in the tournament. Refusing to leave the pitch too 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Not great sportsmanship from Messi either, trying to get Cucurella sent off. Nice to see a strong referee, confidently making the right calls 👏
“Lamine vs Messi”
Nope. Yet again, Spain refuses to let the casual hype prove true.
Lamine Yamal capped off a somewhat mediocre World Cup with a forgettable final performance.
And yet, Spain wins their 2nd World Cup, off 2 bench players in the end!
Team > stars! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
