Expert17:

Eternally GOATED.

Ibime:
Pele finished his assist work in 14 games, what your GOAT is just achieving in 24 games

Pele still top assister in World Cup history

Pele is eternally GOATED.

Daley Blind was most culpable for the goal, although Ake and VVD chipped in with their 2 cents.

BlueRayDick:
Messi to win this World Cup Abeg

For where. Argentina are going home tonight.

Nihilist how far?

If this gets to penalties Croatia will likely win.

Oleku.

OhBritannia:
Exactly!! I have been reading comments from people about taking Neymar off and i just shake my head.

You don't sub off players like Neymar, Mane, mbappe, Salah, Halland, Messi off even if they are having a bad game because one moment of magic from them is all might be needed to seal the game.

This is how klop made Liverpool to lose the last UEFA champions league final with Madrid, Mane wasn't supposed to be subbed off and this Neymar's goal has proved my point.
A moment of magic is all he needed.

No what we were saying is that tactically Neymar was the weak point cos it was 2 Brazilians against 3 Croatians in midfield, however we all agreed that the coach wouldn’t do it cos it was Neymar.

raumdeuter:
I wanted to post this. It's moments of magic like this that Neymar provides

Yes. That 2 man midfield will struggle against most top teams but it is the price you have to pay for playing Neymar.

Double 1-2. Neymar is better by far.

That is is why you don’t take him off. A tactical conundrum when facing top teams.

Neymar!!!

raumdeuter:
E be like say na Antony the Brazilian coach wan bring in again instead of a midfielder

The existence of Neymar makes that midfield option difficult. If Neymar wasn’t Neymar the move would have been to take him of for someone like Bruno Guimaraes.

raumdeuter:
Neymar will normally play on the left but that is also Vinicius position. Vinicius was why Neymar moved to the 10 position. Both of them are undroppable

The ideal thing is to remove Vinicius or Neymar and bring an extra midfielder

You are right but as you said they are undroppable. Neymar is the person to be dropped actually. He can’t really play that LWF role like before anymore but if Tite takes him off and they lose he will be banned from ever going back to Brazil.

raumdeuter:
Brazil should have dropped one of Richarlison or Raphinha for an extra midfielder

Cos right now Brazil is literally playing 4-2-4 while Croatia is playing a 4-5-1

The problem systemically is Neymar.

It is 3 vs 2 in midfield, and the 3 of Croatia can go toe to toe against any 3 man midfield not to talk of a 2 man midfield.

If Brazil wants to take hold of midfield they have to bring in an extra midfielder. The problem is who to take off, either Richarlison (with Neymar playing false 9) or Raphina (with Richarlison moving right).

This pitch looks like it’s not in very good condition.

This thing was explained over several pages to Dayo 1 or 2 years ago and he refused to accept, so why are people still trying?

diggz:
But him hand dey fully inside.

Oh definitely. I am just saying he is not the main target. Someone wants to target another top dog but is using DBanj to achieve his aim. This explains his lavish lifestyle despite musical inactivity.

diggz:
Him go still escape prison. Smh

It is clearer now. The guy is just collateral damage. Someone high up is using DBanj to attack another person high up.

patrickmuf:
Good point. I want players who are not delivering to be shipped out. McFred will always have one or two good games that will have us as fans thinking if it's wrong for the club to offload them and before you they'd have stayed at Old Trafford for 10+ years...

Hannibal, Iqbal, Mainoo and Savage need minutes and with the first team. Seeing how EtH hardly rest his first choice midfield, those kids can do with 15-20 mins game time as substitutes rather than those who have failed to take their chances...

Definitely. However you start with the worst of the lot. If by January VDB can’t show quality he needs to be offloaded. The McFred situation will most likely will be discussed in the off-season by which time we would most likely have new owners.

ZUBY77:
Haba and we no.meet.

Hope you enjoyed it

I did bro. Yeah a shame. Most of the blacks on the ship seemed to be Brazilian, Americans and Brits.

patrickmuf:
Why is everyone here sounding like it's VDB that's stopping the youngsters from getting minutes? How many minutes gas VDB played?

McTom and Fred are not being mentioned, why?

Because they put in good performances from time to time. McFred are good 50 percent of the tube but bad the other 50 percent. The problem is you can never predict if it’s good McFred or bad McFred that will appear.

VDB on the other hand is bad almost 100 percent of the time. So any minutes he gets are wasted minutes.

Finally, these academy players are very inexperienced and might not be ready to play the long minutes that McFred play but they are definitely ready to play VDB’s measly minutes.

Any other questions?

Ibime:
See question you dey ask married man. Did he admit to partaking in anything other than dancing and drinking?

I am not accusing him of anything underhand. After all he might just have been mentoring the babes in toto on the vicissitudes of life, as a father figure in society.

patrickmuf:
How about Fred and McTom?

Mainoo’s ceiling is far higher than theirs but for now one of those 2 might have a role in the team. Which it is I am not sure.

We can’t just discount Fred’s ability to keep making the Brazil squad. He has his strong points and his weaknesses, however I don’t see any aspect of the game in which he is better than Mainoo apart from maybe stamina as a full grown man.

It is easier to compare McTom and Mainoo since I watched both for the academy and reserves. The difference is like night and day. Mainoo at 16 was dominating practically every midfielder he met in the academy and at 17 was dominating 21 yr old midfielders in the reserves. McTom was an average academy midfielder who got into the reserve team as an attacker after their striker Rashford was promoted to the senior team.

Mainoo is above average in every department, and apart from a possibly weak left foot he has no real weaknesses as a midfielder. It is like getting a Paul Pogba with a bit less technique but more work rate.

Omo I drank that shït for the first time this year in Warri. Dem bring Sapele Water inside keg I fear. That shit is like 90% pure ethanol

Like ayoo, da Bleep is this. Warri people have some really interesting customs sha. My guy rented a 7 bed duplex for the night to celebrate a business milestone, and filled it with like 30 babes, a DJ, a Hypeman, a live band in the living room, and then invited only 4 of his friends to join us. All of them came with mopol escort and stacks of cash to throw at the hoes.

Omo Deltans and Warri people do not carry last true true

That’s 5 babes to 1 man. Abi una share give MOPOL?

TrebleChamp:
Just don't know why Ten Hag doesn't trust him enough, i want to see him play...

I don’t think he trusts me him without the ball yet. Iqbal still has work today in terms of the defensive side of things and coping with physicality.

However he should be getting whatever minutes are available off the bench until the end of the season instead of someone like VDB. Going on loan might also be another pathway to getting minutes.

Oasis007:
DVD is an outdated media player. No one spends money on discs again, time to bin the guy ain't June next year, but next month.

At this stage he is just obstructing younger players. It is shameful that every time a youth player comes to play alongside him in midfield, the youth player outshines him.

Amoto94:
Welcome back from the Peninsula

Thanks chief.

diggz:
Bless Doc! We thank God for safe trip.

We thank God. I hate long trips.

Amoto94:
When you set yourself up for dragging you should accept the gaffe and own up not swearing that you never did. This is the hallmark of integrity

I see no lie here.

diggz:
Lawyers of Dbanj don start PR work for am.

Diggz here is the Pele clip regarding his record against European teams. He was as prolific if not more prolific against them. And what many ignorant indomie generation and tiktok generation who are too lazy to carry out adequate research do not know is that back then if you played outside Brazil (and most other countries) you could not play for the national team. This is why Pele's teammate in the 1958 World Cup Jose Altafini, played for Brazil in the 1958 tournament but after his move abroad to AC Milan he had to switch to Italy for the 1962 World Cup as an oriundi.

Furthermore, the Brazilian government actively blocked Pele from playing abroad in his prime by naming him a national treasure. Despite this he consistently rodded European teams whenever and wherever he met them. 11 World Cup goals in 11 World Cup matches against European teams is no joke, and most of those goals came in the knockout stages.

P.S If you look closely you will see Pele dealing with Franz Beckenbauer the same way Messi dealt with Boateng.
