Neymar is going to break Peles goal record for Brazil… but will he be considered an all time great for Brazil?

If Zico and Socrates (no world win) are then why cannot Neymar? And Neymar did what no other superstar did and that was win the gold medal for Brasil at home after decades of failure to do so.

Tricky reds.

Tricking you into thinking their decent

3-0 against Croatia

Belgium

We might really be done. All those years and we've never adressed our problems : bad defense, low energy, bad passes, etc. Today was an absolute embarassment. Been relying for too long on offensive exploits and never really developped a solid team. We've been thouroughly outhustled AND outplayed in our three last defeats against France, Italy and now the Netherlands

Off-season ass tournament frogeaters in shambles.

Belgium was always an unbalanced team but now they're straight up washed. It's officially over.

Alderweireld and Vertonghen are done Mingolet

Witsel had a resurgence after he came back from China but he looks finished. Meunier has been underwhelming for Dortmund as well.

De Brunyne is always exhausted coming off of City's seasons and doesn't look too bothered for international play.

Hazard


Carrasco the most overrated player since Denilson.

Émerson almost got caught up in his hometown. He was leaving a club and somebody tried to rob him at gun point. The only thing that saved Emerson was that an off duty police officer was trying to get an autograph, and when the officer saw the guy trying to rob Emerson he was able to shoot him. Emerson is lucky that he was able escape unscathed.

I'm thinking this group's last chance to win anything was the past League of Nations edition. Losing against France at the WC, ok. Underperform at the Euro, shyt happens. But to lose the rematch against France after leading 2-0 with like half an hour to go just confirmed how shaky we are and stressed the difference between a good team and a Champion. And now we're older and flabbier

They refuse to play in Atlanta and I don’t get it

Atlanta United play on turf, so that should be a no go. But no reason they shouldn't play in LA or North Jersey.

The way he single handedly carried Brazil when he was only 18-19 was wild. It just makes it even sadder the way his career turned out post Barcelona

But nobody should be surprised, it's a normal career progression for a Brazilian star player

So Canadians being friendly is really a myth.

Pogba has put on weight and slowed down.

Saying that watch him tear it up at his new team.
