Even NUGA games is more competitive.

The extent we go to defend our favorites.

• Ligue 1 is now almost level with EPL. The people that rated it 6th don’t know ball.
• EPL is now overhyped.
• England losing is on the players, not Southgate, but Chelsea winning is on Tuchel’s taktikz, and Poch is a bottler.
• Ronaldo can now be dropped for Bruno.
• Only the nation with the best League is permitted to win an international tournament, else their league is sh!t.

All these talk simply because someone’s favorite hasn’t scored a goal.

Our GOAT no go shame us.
Bros na so we dey see am.

Even me from my agbalumo tree no say is not like dat.

The Southgate own dey fear me.
Like the 3 Lions started coaching themselves and he was not present at the stadium.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by hoopLA:
And when Greece won the Euros in 2004 against all odds, it must've meant that Greece was the hotbed of football talent from 2000-2004, and Zagarakis,Giankopolous,Charisteas and co were better than anything France,Czech Republic and Portugal produced.
Same for 1992 when Denmark,who didn't even qualify for the tourney,won it all.
Denmark must've had the better talent across Europe over a two-week,5 match span and their league was brimming with superior players over leagues like Italy back then.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by hoopLA:
Illimitable:
Why did they decide to sit back? Remember, these English players are all world class, playing for some of the top clubs in the PL.

The England back 4 at the Euros was Man City(RB) Man City(CB), Man Utd(CB), Man Utd(LB) - all these players played in the final of UEFA competitions at club level few weeks before the Euros.

So why did England sit back against part-time farmers from Italian league? Scoring a goal early should have gingered Southgate and his boys to go out and get more. Shaw scored within the first 2 mins in the final - why didn’t that easy goal inspire the team to get more goals? grin

England didn’t try getting more because they knew they would be dismembered by the Italian side. They knew the goal was just a fluke and they would lose emphatically if they got out of their shell to get more goals.

England manager knew the Italians(Serie A dudes aka Farmers ) were technically superior.




This is a ridiculous point. cool

Every player in each position in that English team were the best English players in their respective positions- likewise Italy.

Lukaku, Ronaldo, Zlatan, Dybala, Lautaro Martinez, etc also played in Serie A last season and they didn’t represent Italy at the Euros.

Therefore, the Serie A players that represented Italy at the Euros weren’t also the best players in their positions in Serie A.



That’s the only metric one can use. The best league should be producing the best national team especially when there’s now a mandatory quota for home grown players.

However, England with their most prestigious league hasn’t been able to win any trophy at the national team level in more than 50 years. Maybe, just maybe the league isn’t as strong as reported by the hyperbolic British media.




English league is the richest and its a natural reaction for players to follow the money. Wan Bissaka earns £90,000 a week and cannot trap the ball with a single touch.

The average European player is looking at him and ringing his agent to get him to the PL as soon as possible. The easiest places to make money on the planet always have the largest draw of people. This is why Lagos is hyper-populated in Nigeria. It’s where the money is.
Bro this isn't really necessary.

Who was responsible for the tactics deployed that night?

Wasn't it Southgate?

So how then are you blaming players chosen by the same Southgate for sitting back?

Going by your logic,we should also imply that Coquelin and the other PL reject who played for Villareal in Midfield in the Europa League final are world class as well.

And judging from your impeccable logic,we could also infer as well that Spain became an elite nation in 2008 after failing to win anything from 1968, since national team success and league rankings go hand in hand.
Ditto for Pirtugal who should've be the European version of the Cape Verdian League since they had't won anything at senior level till 2016,but is somehow ranked above the French League with 2 world cups and 2 Euros.

Somehow, you concluded that the best national team should be Italy over a seven game stretch in one month in a competition that was last held 5 years ago,despite Italy not even qualifying for the last World cup.

Lol

Ole score goals Sha oh.. shocked shocked shocked


Ronaldo would definitely be number 2 before he leaves

He needs 22 goals in 2 seasons.

5 tapins
5 outside box shots.
5 headers.
2 free kicks.
5 penaltys.


See Rashford and martial just hang for 55 since
Bro, Ole was a marksman.

I don't think he ever played up to 20 90 minute games for us.


It's what is saving him. His rep as a club legend.

As a coach he's a village idiot.

Zlatan dropped from 38 goals in Ligue 1 to 17 goals in EPL next season. Discuss

Using not more than 250 words explain how Lacazette dropped from 28 goals in Ligue 1 to 14 goals the next season in EPL.

Using diagrams and audiovisual illustration, explain how Mbappe is averaging practically a goal a game in Ligue 1 despite playing only just above half of the matches as CF?

Without asking Ifa, Orunmila, or Delphic oracle can you explain how Falcao averaged 0.6 goals per game in Ligue 1 but 0.14 goals per game in EPL?

a) With the help of google can you tell us how many Ligue 1 teams have ever won the Champions League?
b) Calculate the ratio of this to the number of EPL teams that have won the
Champions League.
c) Finally using all mighty formula can you tell us the degree of blame to be apportioned to Ligue 1 defenders for the result of b above.
Omo see second degree differential calculus homework.

Fred is an idiot slowpoke.

I don't know how a supposed pivot can't read games, cant trap or pass the ball properly, and is ALWAYS reactionary, on the backfoot.

The worst is when he tries to slide tackle.

Even my four year old twin girls will at least cause confusion with the opposing player.

It's not down to his footballing abilities...If we start listing players that the French Ligue 1 has produced we won't stop anytime soon.

If was that easy, Falcao, Ibra, Benzema, Cavani, Mbappe, Neymar and co would have been scoring 40 - 50 goals every season while they were/are there...
So how come a top French prospect,touted and hyped to heaven prior, can't get into what has been basically an average side for the last two seasons and has been on loan,like our own Tuanzebe.

Saliba is the French Tuanzebe.

One said that Amaka is a younger Ancelloti, he said Ancelloti has no pattern. Lol. Ancelloti that introduced the famous diamond formation where he will pack the midfield and use marauding FBs to supply a dangerous 18 yard stiker who is good on the air, he doesn't like his CBs venturing forward.
In Ac milan he used Gattuso, Seedorf, Pirlo and Ambrosini,
initially he used Gattuso, Seddorf, Rui costa and Pirlo. At Juve he used Conte, Davids, Deschamps and Zidane.
At Everton it was dacoure, Sigurdsson, Allan and James.
At Chelsea it was Ballack, Lampard, Essien and Mikel he plays Belleti in Midfield too.
Look at the strikers that flourished under him, Inzaghi botha at Juve and Ac milan, Drogba, Calvert Lewin.


Before they said he is the next Sir Alex Ferguson, now na Ancelloti very soon he will degrade to the next Alan Pardew

There is no need to throw stones. It was just funny that some people's reflex reaction to the praise of any other manager is to attack the manager just because they want to defend Amaka.

Imagine comparing Amaka to Marcelo Bielsa? Even if Leeds get relegated and Amaka wins a title shoe get size. I watch Amaka's team and it looks like they are passing a stone and not a football. The opponents get the ball and the stone miraculously turns into a football again.
grin grin grin

Boss,me I get catapult for pocket.

Certain monikers here need serious general mob action for spewing LAWMA grade trash.

Where was Ole when Bielsa began coaching in Spain?
Where was Ole when Bielsa brought Munain & Herrera to drill us right here at Old Trafford in 2012? The Norweigian Ogunbote had not even began relegating Cardiff by then,but somehow,Bielsa is now his mate because they are both in the PL and Amaka has won the Norweigian league.

Then because he beats brain farting Pep, he is the next best thing to Dangote spaghetti.

Honest to Jah Mighty, but some people in here are in the idiotic order.

Even Arteta still dey give am palpitation sef.
