Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

There's some story about a Zambian doctor being beaten to death by Nigerian fans. I hope it's not true

Funny how 'prime' Salah stays choking in the biggest games of his life.

No doubt he'll score against Norwich soon and we'll be reminded he has a better goal scoring record than actual legends like Drogba.

"Prime" Salah has already scored more goals than Drogba in his career and he's only 29. And we're not gonna pretend like he hasn't scored in big matches or against big clubs either.

The agenda is coming.

This fuss over slab head getting booed at Wembley

It’s happened to much better English players over the years

"'Gareth picks and chooses when to support players': Roy Keane SLAMS Southgate for defending Harry Maguire from England boos - and compares it to how Raheem Sterling was 'bombed out' by him

• Roy Keane has criticised Gareth Southgate for defending Harry Maguire
• Keane said Southgate had 'made it a bigger story than it is' with his response
• Maguire was booed by a section of England fans during 3-0 win over Ivory Coast
• Keane claims Southgate 'picks and chooses' when to support his players

But Keane, who was in the ITV studio for Tuesday's match, criticised Southgate for his response, claiming the England boss had 'made it a bigger story than it is'.

Every player gets booed. There is going to be idiots at football matches - England have a lot of idiots,' Keane said on ITV.

'Gareth could have easily said tonight "it is no big deal". He actually played well tonight, just focus on that.'

Former United captain Keane also highlighted previous instances where Southgate had opted not to defend his players, including when he dropped Raheem Sterling from the squad after his infamous bust-up with Liverpool defender Joe Gomez in 2019.

'He is almost picking and choosing when to support his players,' () Keane added. 'Sterling had a bust-up two or three years ago and was bombed out of the squad, he's left other players out.

The agenda is coming.

He's rattled. Salah already lapped his goat

He's literally the go to man for crucial penalties. From sending Egypt through to the last world cup to the CL final.


More match winning goals in the Premier league than Drogba and he's not even done yet

do you know what the temperature will be like in Qatar by November?

if it's superhot, it could work in some of these teams favor

Its mild by Qatar standards, around 20 degrees Celsius at night when they will host most games.

Do you think Hudson-Odoi joins yall now? Would you accept it?

Funny thing about Lasergate is that Egyptian football media in Egypt isnt tripping like that.

They're angriest about the team's performance and Queiroz's tactics.

I think it's because they know they started it first. I watched the first match, egyptian was boing the Senegalese anthem + used Laser on Mendy, Bouna Sarr, and Mane. They was even insulting Mane. And im not even talking about the time they wast when they on the ground + diving and trying to bully the 4th referee.
