Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Scriptures Prophesied the Messiah Plays 3-4-3

Give him the award man.

He won nothing though. It's Messi's to lose imo.

That is a truly terrible decision. The defender is trying to intercept a pass to a player that's in an offside.

It's the law I guess but it's an awful decision.

Dura lex sed lex

The interpretation boils down to player interference. And the law has examples like if he actively blocks the view, if he challenges for the ball etc. I think the referees just thought Mbappe was offside but he was not close enough to interfere with Garcia (I mean it how the rule means it) so when Garcia touched the ball, it nullified the offside call.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

French brothas feasting.

McTominay scored a last minute winner, Sancho ballin against Andorrian carpenters, Dalot assisting and Ronnie scoring. When you're free from the Ole tax.

what did Messi win tho? a copa that they’ve been spamming so he can finally win one? His barca team did nothing. Benz got Nations league, Madrid did better in both la liga and CL than messi?


If it wasn’t a popularity contest Lewa should win it but we know media love Messi and will give it to him.

Lewy should have won last year but this year, he had messer stats and didnt win any major trophies.

Messi won the Copa while being player of the tourney. Yeah they spammed it but it is what it is. Copa is a far more recognized tourney than the Nations League come on breh.

In 2021, Messi and Benz have roughly the same stats so it will go down to the silverware that matters. And in Euro/WC years : Euro/WC > Copa/CL >>>>>>>>> National titles > National cups >>>> Nations Leagues

 

[DapMeUp!]

It's such a strange rule. Garcia doesn't even play the ball if Mbappe isn't there is runs to the keeper.

They brought up the Kane goal when Lovren tries to clear the ball and it ends up dropping to Kane who was offside.
An equally stupid decision because in both cases if the player is not offside neither player attempts to play the ball.

Needs to be changed because the players is obviously influencing play by being in the offside position.
Ironically they are giving the offside player the advantage

Didn’t we stomp y’all twice this year? No titles, no championships, no wins?

 

[Roberto Firmino]

Good win to CAR but we really should never have lost in Lagos.

We’ll qualify from this round but next round is really where things get interesting. Burkina, Algeria, Mali, Ghana, Egypt, Senegal, Cameroon, CIV, Morocco could all be on the cards.

I swear, AFCON WC Qualifiers are the toughest.

The last time they used this format for 2014 they created 2 pots based on FIFA rankings and teams in the same pot couldn't face each other. Top 5 highest ranked vs bottom 5.

If they do it the same way we can avoid Algeria and Senegal in the final round...if we make it that far

Yea this is my understanding that it will be like 014 and have seeding for the group winners playoff. AFCON still to come of course but the 5 seeded teams are set in stone imo assuming @I.AM.PIFF's people don't flop which is us, Senegal, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.
