I'm a muppet with legs.

@verydankmemes69 @melvin_ux @NealGardner_ Consistenly better than Portugese teams not called Benfica, Sporting, Porto or Braga 🤷‍♂️

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@NealGardner_ Only and ONLY if we also get Salinas. I cannot deal with Martin LB shifts again if Cancelo/Espart were to get injured 😭

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@verydankmemes69 @melvin_ux @NealGardner_ The Pro League is better than the Portugese league. Portugal has better/more "big" clubs but then has a massive drop off in quality when looking at the rest of the league whilst most Pro League clubs are pretty consistently around the same level.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@MeKallen @NealGardner_ Balde was the 2nd best LB in the world 2 seasons ago. Average last season, but you shouldn't sell him for 1 off season. Also Martin is awful at LB and the main reason we lost to Inter. Great at LCB last season, but whenever he played LB his and the team's performance dropped off.

@NealGardner_ Neal I've had and still have massive respect for you for openly talking about your refusal to promote gambling in the past. But promoting generative AI is arguably as bad if not worse. I hope this is a one time "accident" and that you don't start promoting AI slop all the time.

@blancosvision @FootySammers @NealGardner_ "Spain > Belgium" isn't an answer to my question, and washed how? Belgium went from group and R16 exits in b2b tournaments to a quarterfinal in an extended World Cup barely losing to reigning Euros champions. Unless you mean Belgium ≠ top 10 nation, which is just plain wrong.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@FootySammers @NealGardner_ How exactly are Belgium overrated?

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@NealGardner_ Spain dominated possession, but let's not act like they had loads of big chances. Was 2-1 flattering because Belgium were lucky to score? Sure. But not because Spain should've won 3/4-0. Spain scored twice from 2.08 xG. It should've been 2-0, it ended 2-1.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@NealGardner_ Tielemans got injured during the warm-up. He's been replaced with Vanaken.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@NealGardner_ This tweet is misleading. Whilst, yes, Bounou has faced 9 penalties at the World Cup and only 2 of them have been scored. He didn't save the other 7. He saved 4 of them whilst the other 3 were just missed outright. Still an insane stat nonetheless.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@NealGardner_ Only negative is he's played one VERY bad back pass in each of the games he's played this world cup. Which is strange because aside from his 1 very bad back pass a game he basically plays perfectly.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@NealGardner_ @iasonasel Delete please 🥺

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@fiago7 Corruption, simple as that.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@hangmanroy @HaliGoat0 @maqwelll Corruption

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@replyoffice @NealGardner_ Them and Argentina. Spain I'm not 100% convinced I could see them getting surprisingly knocked out by Austria.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@NealGardner_ Nathan Ngoy? Aside from his unfortunate red card against Iran and 1 weak back pass against Egypt he's played a perfect tournament.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@NealGardner_ Now that penalty miss really hurts cause he could've gotten 2 world cup hattricks in a row.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@NealGardner_ The "OG international bottlers" are The Netherlands not Belgium.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@NealGardner_ What about Malang Sarr as a cheap alternative? Out of contract this summer, just got done playing his best ever season at Lens who finished 2nd in Ligue 1. Just a thought.

[Muppet3000 @Muppet3000]

@NealGardner_ Not necessarily my number 2 but I wouldn't mind Tresoldi
