Football (Soccer)

Games that were entertaining to watch are an exception rather than the rule in the last years. I guess I'm still spoilt by the SAF era. I don't think Rashford, a homegrown English player, should leave by the way. He has masses of talent but Mourinho should start using him more.

i'm all for homegrown english players. i remember when united used to fill most all of the players in the english squad. however, rashford needs to improve. when i see him play, especially that last game against watford. he could've scored way more or set some one else up IF he didn't take an extra touch or hesitated in receiving a ball.

Bailly has been brilliant and kinda reminds me of vidic. but unfortunately he's injury prone. everytime he plays, i always feel like he's going to get injured either by making a tackle or tripping over himself. but he's first choice CB for me no doubt.

Mourinho is notorious for not developing young players, what he did to Hazard during his time at Chelsea is an example of that.

Rashford is a good young player but starting out of position, off the bench every week, whilst being openly criticised by your manager isn't exactly the recipe for good development.

That's all from me, I'll go back to watching the mighty Hatters in beautiful League One

I hate Madrid

I hate Ramos.. he is one of the most unfair player in soccer. foul against Salah, elbow drop against Karius… Swallows and theatrical Player no fair Sportsmen in my Eyes...

Damn United are making transfer moves already.  Two quick signings with Fred and young LB Diogo Dalot.  I like the move of beefing up the defense but we still need a top notch CB or two.

[louisbosco]

yeah heard we gonna win da lot next year as well.. 

[manufc10]

Anybody remember when we had Gerard Pique?  Yeah…we let that one get away didn't we....

[louisbosco]

yeah he wasn't blossoming back then. the same with pogba. the same with most south american players that come to united. in that sense, i wonder how fred will be…

They were both still young (Pogba and Pique) when they left so yeah, they hadn't matured yet but no doubt they would have with time under Sir Alex. It is weird how south American players never seem to click well at United…made me think the same thing about Fred that you are.

[louisbosco]

i mean there's probably only one. Antonio valencia. but he was still a failed winger that become a right back. key word:failed..

What have Spain done  ???

[Seul]

I almost fell out of my chair laughing. I hope they win against Portugal though…

[Dion]

Looks like the Spanish Football Federation chairman is a huge Barca fan ::).

Found this on reddit recently. How hopeful are our English forum friends for this WC?  I’m thinking they could easily surprise our Belgian team on the 28th…
