We're up against Spain and Holland. I don't think we'll win. See Welbeck too

Tbh I wouldn't play for an African country either, they don't deserve those players, they are often corrupt, won't pay their players and have no chance of winning anything significant.

STFU :wanyama:

Nothing I said was false.

These African federations don't deserve those players, I haven't even mentioned issues with safety like player busses being shot up.

Get rid of the corruption, use the surplus to actually build infrastructure and Africa will have a World Cup winner.

Football wise the only thing African nations are missing are playmakers/#10's

Enrique Cerezo does not think Antoine Griezmann will leave Atletico Madrid for Manchester United during the close-season.

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo is confident Antoine Griezmann will stay put regardless of the France international's comments that there is a "six out of 10" chance he will join Manchester United.

Griezmann has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent months and his latest remarks have only further fuelled speculation a transfer is on the horizon.

Nevertheless, Cerezo is adamant Griezmann has not expressed a desire to leave and he does not expect any clubs to match the 26-year-old's €100million buyout clause.

"His recent comments do not surprise me. He gets asked the same question all the time," Cerezo told RMC.




"I think he is getting a little annoyed at having to answer the same question again and again when everyone knows his situation. The situation is that Antoine is an Atletico player and still has a contract for three or four more years.

"He has never told me that he wants to leave.


"There has not been any approach from Manchester United.

"At the moment, no team has offered us to pay his release clause. And I do not think anyone will meet his clause."

Griezmann has a contract with Atletico until June 2021.

Barcelona are deteriorating, they leak so many goals,they only surviving by outscoring teams

nikkas said the same thing in 2014. Then they won the treble the following season

They beef up their midfield and it won't matter how many goals they leak. That front 3 is still deadly even in an off year

Then the midfield was powerful Xavi n Iniesta.

Barca had to outscore PSG, they failed to outscore Juve, Barca just leaking too many goals. Same as last game of the season they conceded 2 goals & outscored them by 4 goals. Some games you cant do that, you meet a team that can soak up pressure.

If Barca do t buy the right players, Barca is finished

 

[Sukairain]

Remember what he did to Barca with Inter?

That was a great game

 

[Bboystyle]

Outscoring teams. No shyt, that's how you win games.

Barca are better than every single English team.

Messi is garbage against chelsea

I remember 2012, Messi, the so called greatest player of all time, couldn't get past 30 minutes of Salomon Kalou at right back and near 90 minutes of Bosingwa at centre back
