Real no see their period atall ...

Griffon:
Estevao Jackson Gittens.

That’ll cook!

lol you are optimistic that they will hit the ground running and bench neto and madueke, I hope so too

Brilliant counter from Madrid. Hilal the better team so far but Madrid strike first

Penalty Al Hilal. Very clumsy defending from Acensio

Neves makes no mistake. Back on level terms. Well deserved

Al Hilal have been the better side, no 🧢

I suspect Madrid just wanna coast through the group stage, at least, with pre season vibes

Omo dem dey expose Madrid from wing. Brilliant chance created via 1-2 but not put just wide

This is the best game of this tourno so far. It is also the only game showcasing sufficient quality to meet up with the World Cup hype of the tourno.

Could be a tactical instruction from Alonso because I don't understand why Trent is leaving the whole right wing and tucking in too close to Asecio. That Hilal captain is having a field day. Doubt he'll see this much space against another opposition in this tournament.

Sometimes, I forget that so many good players are in Saudi now.

If you dey follow Ronaldo and Al Nassr you go know say this Al hilal na devilish team. Very wicked team wey come add Inzaghi join.

Griffon:
We played our best football and enjoyed our most successes circa 2007-2016.

I’ll pick it anyday anytime.

At least we are on the same page this time around.

they are going toe to toe with Madrid like it's nothing.

Are Madrid still playing with 3 at the back? Looks like Alonso has changed the formation.

I'm just seeing different patterns at this CWC
Double wall from Monterrey against Inter

Who go score go still score sha

You have the effontery and temerity to overlook 2004/2005/2006 when joe cole, makelele, terry, carvalho, lampard, drogba were on rampage in Europe and England. What kind of pundit are you? So shortsighted

Lob through ball go destroy this setup. Reminds me of that Bruno + Martial goal vs City.

Griffon:
His shooting is his biggest weakness, bar that, he’s a very decent forward esp off the ball.

You rarely find strikers who occupy the defenders. An effective occupying of the defenders drags them out of position which ultimately creates passing lanes and spaces for the likes of Palmer, Madueke and Neto to exploit and score.

Jackson does this effectively, the only reason you’re not seeing us scoring so high is because those ninjas NJ creates spaces for are either profligate or play with hindsights. This is the singular reason why myself and the likes of nateevs and Ibime believe NJ isn’t entirely the problem upfront rather his supporting cast.

Weeks ago we saw Dembele playing as a false 9 for PSG. He only had one job to do - drag the defenders out of position, while Doue and Kvara carries out the damage. If na some Einsteins for here, they’ll be clamoring for Ronaldo de Lima to lead the line, forgetting that football has gone past the stage when traditional no9 is everything.

Jackson in either of Barca, City, Madrid, PSG, Arsenal etc is great asset. If you know you know.

The boy will cook in a team with a good attacking band.

Maresca should try moving him to the left

swiz123:
European teams are ridiculing the quality of their football. This is an embarrassing display by city.

If not for this club World Cup, I would have thought most European teams will be putting 7 or more past these local teams.

The South American teams have been more impressive


European teams have been sub par

Maybe it's fatigue

has gusto ever been this bad as trent was?

The South Americans are playing in their natural habitat.

90th minute penalty for Madrid. Valverde to take...


Bono saves!

Bono na winch for PK .

Pk save ...

Lol that miss would cost Madrid about £700k

FIFA are seriously implementing this 8-second rule against goalkeepers, because this is the 2nd match in this CWC where the ref has awarded a corner for goalkeepers’ time-wasting..
