Ever since I heard that Jermaine Jones story about Morris I can't respect him ever.

Kid had a contract from Hertha Berlin ready to sign after leaving Stanford but he chose to stay close to home in Seattle because his girlfriend just got him a dog. :stopitslime:

England doesn't really lack any personal. The spirit, however, is a different convo

Midfield. They can't hold possession. Need a creative player and a DM.. Declan Rice :patrice:


Goalie too. Pickford is walking fukkery. Not sure of any alternatives tho

Defence if they're playing Stones and Walker :scusthov:

Ronaldo dropping yet another disaster class while his team mates Garry him to another cup win could never be my goat.

-France don't have any glaring weaknesses in their First XI. Only position worth questioning is the no. 9 role considering Giroud's lack of game time domestically, even still, there's are enough attackers in Mbappe, Lacazette, Martial etc that Descamphs could call on.
the first XI might not have weakness, but they suuuuure do have that one weakness on the bench.

Do mean at striker? I still don't think they have an issue off the bench. Very likely that Giroud will start come 2020 barring injury. Both Martial and Lacazette can play as a backup, although there'd be a shift in tactical approach. Heck, even Yedder is an option to strike.

But in a sense you are right, this is probably the one position where they aren't as deeply stacked. Outside of those 3-4 players, the quality of French strikers really drops (Plea, Dembele, Haller etc).

If I made a decision this dumb I would hope that my family would fight me. Deadass I would fight one of my friends if they turned down a higher career path because of a dog.

You never seen this video? It was right after they lost to Trinidad


I'm going to have to watch this again, but from what I remember he was speaking straight facts

It was funny when things went wrong it was always his fault :russ:

Or whenever Bradley played bad it was his fault :russ:

He had some bad moments, but he was a great player for the US and balled at the WC when Mikey went MIA. He wasn't scared of the moment like these soft ass US players.
