HALA MADRID! ✨

[Jorge @_Jorgege]

¿Por qué aquí no llamó el VAR para sancionar al Paraguayo? ¿Por qué no le retiraron la amarilla a Olise?

Zverev looks settled early into the game

[Desmond @KroosRol]

Missing Alcaraz 😓

This world cup has made many Haaland fans especially girls and women.

Pedri is more of a Xavi esque than Iniesta 🧏🏻‍♂️

[Ororo😎 @McFlybowy]

This Bellingham vs Pedri debate reminds me so much of the Lampard vs Iniesta debate.

You’re comparing two completely different interpretations of what a world-class midfielder should be.

Bellingham, like Lampard, is a midfielder who wins you games through actions everyone can see. Goals, decisive moments, late runs into the box, intensity, leadership, ball recoveries, driving runs through midfield, he imposes himself on matches. Even when he isn’t dictating the tempo, you feel his presence because he’s constantly affecting both boxes.

Pedri, like Iniesta, wins games in a more subtle way. He controls the speed of the match, always offers an angle, escapes pressure with one touch, finds spaces others don’t see, and makes the entire team function better. His influence isn’t always reflected in goals or assists, but if you watch the game closely, you’ll realize almost every good attack starts or flows through him.

That’s why these debates can’t end. Some people value the midfielder who decides games with goals, physical dominance, and match-winning moments. Others value the one who controls every minute of the game with intelligence, technique, and composure.

Football needs both profiles. One gives you control, the other gives you decisive moments. One orchestrates the game, the other changes it in an instant.

The biggest mistake is judging one by the standards of the other. You don’t criticize Pedri because he doesn’t score like Bellingham, just as you wouldn’t criticize Bellingham because he doesn’t play exactly like Pedri. They’re trying to achieve different things on the pitch.

It’s the same reason Lampard and Iniesta were debated for years. Different profiles, different strengths, both world class. The answer usually says more about the type of midfielder you appreciate than which player is objectively better.

🫂 Erling Haaland: “Real Madrid and England are lucky to have Jude Bellingham, and everyone want Jude Bellingham on their team”.

“He's one of the BEST players in the world”.

Mbappe is an evil coloniser while Enzo Fernandez is a saint 🥺

[🗿 ex football fan @vjrxotwod]

Yamal and Pedri should worship the ground that magicalxavi dude walks on ngl. People used to rt his nothing burger comps without fully watching it and assumed they’re both the best in their positions

[Troll Football Media @TrollFootball2]

Argentines when they see the only countries supporting them

[Desmond @KroosRol]

Haha AFA and FIFA finally exposed

[OptaJean @OptaJean]

104 - Lamine Yamal dans cette Coupe du Monde :

4.4% de conversion de ses tirs en but (1/23) 🫣
45.7% de dribbles réussis (21/46) 🪄
47.4% de duels gagnés (36/76) 🥊
104 ballons perdus, plus haut total de la compétition 🏅

Peur ? 🧐

- Fabian Ruiz plays for PSG
- Mikel Merino plays for Arsenal
- Oyarzabal plays for Real Sociedad
- Cucurella plays for Real Madrid

Barca fans will tell you their players carried Spain at the World Cup, yet the players carrying Spain don’t even play for Barcelona.

[Romain Molina @Romain_Molina]

Je vous prépare une très grosse enquête sur la mafia du football argentin demain matin 🇦🇷

Probablement l'un des plus gros scandales couverts par la FIFA ces dernières années d'ailleurs

[Desmond @KroosRol]

Merino again
