“Brazil could win the World Cup with their B team” was a common take 12 months ago.
As in UEFA club tournaments? I believe Scotland was one of them, as Rangers’ European run pushed them up to two CL spots which they’d never had before.
Just had a random thought - who took Russia’s continental qualification spots?

Have Match Threadder’s thread been wonky lately for anyone else
They’ve formed some sort of psychic connection in that summer where they went to United and Chelsea, after each was supposed to go to the other club. Never cross streams.

Marcelo Morelo Martins is still the main man for Bolivia

When will CONMEBOL finally move on man? It is the year of our lord 2023

For those who think Bellingham is overrated, what exactly are his weaknesses? The only glaring one that I can think of is he’s not really a controller like a Kroos or Xavi, but that’s probably due to the position that Ancelotti is playing him this season. If Madrid sign a world-class striker next season, and Bellingham goes back to his usual midfield position, we’ll probably see him focus more on controlling the game. Maybe you can argue his technique/eye test is overrated, but technique doesn’t really matter if you’re producing results on the pitch
Encouraging performance, but fucks sake man that’s a game we should be winning. Lorenzo set us up well but not great in game management. We needed to slow that down after people started gassing and we already had a lead
Nope, 30 degrees on October is unbearable.
Colombia is a bigger underachiever than Mexico
Eh, “presumably from” is doing a lot of heavy lifting the
Did remind me of a spectacular dumb post I saw in a different sub celebrating the Spanish WWC win over England because the (very American) poster didn’t want to see a nation of colonisers win 😂🤷♂️
Please a match thread we’ve already scored.

Spot on. You’re not reading too much into it at all, it’s just something that a lot of people don’t have the language for. Especially the part about his masculinity. The pearl clutching about the sarong in particular was pathetic. As for the supposed “distraction” of it all it seemed more like people tried their hardest to let themselves be distracted into caring about anything but his quality as a player. And you’re so spot on, I think most people wouldn’t admit it but the fact that he engaged with traditionally “feminine” interests with the modeling and fashion in not just society at that time but football in particular caused most people the most grief. And they’re pathetic for it. It’s also something I really respect Beckham for, just like how I respect Dennis Rodman for it (engaging with “femininity” and expression through fashion, makeup, hair etc). I’m truly upset thinking about how all these backwards people banded together to project their own insecurities and misery onto these men who went against stupid gendered conventions
