I wonder what would have happened if Yamal was an England player.
Adidas must farm engagement nah.

Yamal is more Dimaria/Mahrez than Messi. The picture circulating around with him and Messi as a child is what Adidas is trying to farm engagement with.

The real question is what would've happened if a 16 year old English player went to the Euros, scored a good goal Vs France, assisted a couple including one in the final and eventually winning their first trophy since 1966. If a 16 year old, now 17 was part of this team as a regular, he'll be immortalised forever in England.

It won't be so for ESP because they're far richer than ENG in the trophy cabinet!

Go and Watch Euro 2004 if you doubt me.
But could not lead England to win the Euro like Yamal

That the Difference!

Say the name of an England player of 16yrs old, past and present that is as good like Yamal
16 year old Rooney was fire. If you watched him in 004, you won't be saying this lol.

If he wasn't injured, May be, just may be England would've defeated Portugal then go on to beat Greece in the final. Rooney was that good at 16.

Too many ifs on 16 year old Rooney but he was that good and edges yamal at 16 in my opinion. But the fact that yamal actually won the whole thing is something to write home about. He's very good too.

Football is a team sports so anything can happen.

[/i] 🚨🟡⚫️ West Ham have approached Al Ittihad to ask about N'Golo Kanté as top target, as Will_Unwin reported.

Direct talks took place between clubs and with player's camp.

Al Ittihad current position: no intention to sell Kanté, considered as key player and top professional. [i]


I saw this man in EURO, I now began to query those who approve his sale.

lunin to Chelsea circling around, probably rumours make I wait for fab.
🚨BREAKING! Real Madrid have not received any approach from Chelsea for Andrij Lunin so far.

The only topic discussed is about Kepa who’s giving total priority to Real Madrid… in case Lunin
( Fabrizio Romano)

hence why you wait for fab.

Rooney was over 18yr at Euro 2004. He was probably as good as Yamal as a 16yr old, but the evidence is scanty as Everton didn't really give him minutes until he was nearly 17.

I kind of mixed up my write up. If Dembele wasn't sold, the story of Yamal would've been same in terms of his minutes. He wasn't going to play with Dembele in the team.

Yes, you're very correct!

Petrovic is rated, forget news outlet. If anything it is Sanchez that will be sold because he is full of errors.

You're very correct. The way he burst into the scenes, I always thought he was 16 going to 17 in 2004, just like yamal 16 going to 17 in 2024. I didn't recall he was already 18. The image of his early performance at Everton is still living in my head. But as a 16 year old, he was as good as yamal. That's the point I was trying to make.

There are enough what if we can apply to football

What if Beckham and Ferguson did not fall out he might not have bought Ronaldo and he would have ended up in Portugal like Quaresma Simao and other wingers

What if Robert Enke didn'tcommitsuicide, Rene Adler injured at the 2010 world cup Neuer might never get a chance to start for the national team and have a career like TerStergen. A great club goalkeeper but not for NT

What if Messi parents didn't bring him to Spain from Argentina.. he might just be another small sized dribbler like Ortega

Blah Blah.

Foden won't take Penalties with Haaland in the team. Same would be the case had Haaland been at Chelsea.
Airhead.
We all know Foden's legs are not straight for PK and he won't play ahead of Palmer at Chelsea too.

Eruditor, the amputated debtor.

grin grin grin

What if Ronaldo won euro 2004? Won back to back UCL in 2008 and 2009, What if France didn't beat Portugal and they go on to defeat Italy in 2006 final, the goat debate would've been over before it started.

if Ballack wasn't suspended may be Germany would've won the world cup in 2006. If Zidane didn't get that red, Canvaro wouldn't have a ballodor to his name.

Too many what if, but honestly...

For Yamal, Dembele leaving and Barca being broke was really key...
