The Football Thread 2021/22: England thrown to Hungary lions

[Tomous]

Joke.

[Jenuall]

Bullshit

[ITSMILNER]

It’s fixed, Messi was certainly not the best player in the world this year

[DML]

Nearly as suspicious as Qatars World Cup bid.

[tomvek]

How on earth did Messi win the Ballon d'Or??

[Preezy]

LEO IMA LET YOU HAVE YOUR MOMENT BUT LEWANDOWSKI HAD ONE OF THE BEST YEARS OF ALL TIME

[Psychic]

Well, I thought it was fair enough.

If messi has million number of fans i am one of them . if messi has ten fans i am one of them. if messi have only one fan and that is me . if messi has no fans, that means i am no more on the earth . if world against the messi, i am against the world. i love #messi till my last breath.. .. Die Hard fan of messi . Hit Like If you Think messi Best player & Smart In the world

Ronaldo+ asensio+ mbappe + demebele +villa + iniesta + xavi + casillas + ramos + benzema + ozil + pique + puyol + fabregas + modric + marcelo + arbeloa + kaka + xavi alonso + callejon + valdes + sanchez = messi

Oof

[Drumstick]

Is there any basis for that Chelsea story? I don't recall it being a thing.

It wasn't publicised at the time.

[Preezy]

"No PLs in your career without AF" - well yeah, players tend to only win league titles under league title-winning managers

[Buffalo]

Sounds well gotten to.

[poshrule_uk]

Didn't Rio secretly meet Chelsea around the time Sven did? Probably 2006?

[Return_of_the_STAR]

I do hate it when they start spouting about other ex pros passing judgment on current players when they didn't win whatever they are talking about in their own careers. If that was the case none of them should be employed during the world cup or euros as pundits.

Yeah, Rio's point is nonsense and his response to Carragher's reply was basically It WaS jUsT a JoKe

Hope everyone is excited for Qatar 2022!

[Preezy]

Yeesh

Are there Muslim players in the league that haven't taken part in the Rainbow Laces campaign or things of that ilk? Trying to think of any headlines about it and nothing springs to mind. You'd think if players like Salah or Pogba were abstaining there'd be uproar.

That clip does really demonstrate how long there is still to go with this stuff, I think there are some parts of the world where it just won't ever gain traction, the religious beliefs are just too entrenched in society and law to ever change. Maybe that's me being pessimistic, I dunno.

Ferdinand's response to that of "just wanting a nibble" - he's a grown man FFS

Still, the guy can barely string a coherent sentence together and seems incredibly dumb by all accounts, so not sure we should expect much more from him.

As for the Ballon d'Or, it's been a joke for a while now - time people stopped paying attention to it.

[Benzin]

I mean there's always a reaction when players don't wear a poppy so you'd imagine that any refusing to partake in such a campaign would get equal treatment right?


Right?
