Interesting. Honestly, I get it. If I was the senior player who’d given his all for the team over the past years, I’d be grumpy if the younger star player got it. I wouldn’t consider leaving the NT as a result, but I’d be irked
Yes and no. He isn't considering leaving, but he's hurt.
Logic would have been him, but Mbappe is the true leader and he's on phase with much of the group (Tchou, Kolo, Saliba, etc...).
Griez will be 33 next EC and 35 next WC.

Him leaking to be hurt is exactly why it shouldn't be him.

Please. Put or or shut up.

Acting like I have a tin foil hat on when you are posting about Balogun being in Orlando
I posted something a reporter tweeted. All the reporters have said Haaland is injured. You're making it up that he isn't, despite the team's doctors clearing him to go and Norway's doctors sending him home. I guess the conspiracy is just really deep.

And what am I supposed to put up? You've rejected all evidence of his injury based on your conspiracy and your sole argument is that he'll play the next EPL match, which is (1) conjecture and (2) ignorant of the fact that people get better.

So why don't you put up or shut up? Because all you've offered during this wretched Liverpool season is complaints, conspiracies, and insecurities.

If you play the game before the break, and the game after the break I’m not going to think they are actually injured, and you shouldn’t either. It’s not conjecture and I don’t think it’s coincidental

All the USMNT influencers/talking heads saying Balogun faked an injury to get out of England camp so it’s real silly to post that Balogun in is Orlando, which you did, and then point the finger at others being conspiracy theorists.

Liverpool hasn’t been good and I haven’t been delusional about it. Not saying any lies though. Yeah I’ve complained. There’s a lot to complain about. That’s soccer

Just to be clear, you think it's impossible to have an injury that gets better with two weeks of rest? It's absolutely conjecture.

Ahhh, I see the problem. It's that you don't know how to read. I posted a tweet where someone said that he heard rumors that Balogun might be joining the USMNT in Orlando. Not that he was. Not that he faked an injury (although, he played the game before the break so I assume you agree he's faking it?). I guess a lack of reading comprehension would be a necessary pre-requisite to becoming so conspiratorial.

You haven't been delusional about Liverpool, just about the league, what's been posted here, refereeing, Arsenal, etc. You might not be outright lying but your implications have been full of conspiracies and bullshit. Anything to get you through the season, I guess.

How is perpetuating that Balogun is going to USA camp (after getting an “injury” not conspiracy? You don’t have a leg to stand on here.

Defend the refs if you think they have been good, or shut up.

If you think I’ve lied about something, tell me what you think I’ve lied about

I'm not perpetuating it. I'm simply reposting rumors. Good lord this is some of the densest stuff I've read in a while.

Yes, the two sides in the debate are (1) the refs have been good; or (2) the refs have been bad because they're from manchester and are therefore out to get Liverpool/the other team.

Your literacy, I guess, given that I specifically said you aren't outright lying. Stop being dishonest and if you can't handle that, then stop posting.

Reposting it is literally perpetuating it.

All I am saying is that if you think I am wrong about the ref, defend the ref and say that they made the right call. If you agree the ref is bad then I don’t see what the problem is

Always drama in this sub forum, always the same posters :laugh: - You'd think it would get old at some point.

Anywho, here is Denmarks roster for the two games against Finland and Kazakhstan.

Lot's of new players - As this time Hjulmand is keeping his word about not taking players, who are not playing consistently for their club team.

Got a few injuries: Thomas Delaney, Yussuf Poulsen, Kasper Dolberg, Christian Eriksen.

Looking forward to see Jelert, Højlund, Hjulmand. I wish our gaffer would give the chance to Rønnow and not Schmeichel.


I have absolutely ZERO expectations for this team, after that horror show at the WC.

On another note - To celebrate a 100years of Hummel - They have made a new shirt for the NT which is a huge throwback to the 1992 Euro win.

Older posters might know the guy above especially people who followed BuLi in the late 80s to mid 90s - Had his career cut short by a horrible injury - Also quite injury prone - But an absolute beast on his day.

It is him, 100%. He was my favorite player in the 92 EURO. Idolized him as an 11 year. Then I saw Moreno Toricelli and idolized him.
I had weird football idols.
The main thing I remember about Toricelli was his long flowing hair as he galloped down the flank.

At the moment the Azzurri seem to be instituting the oriundi principle again. Retegui called up and apparently they have tabs on several other Argentine players not yet called up.

I feel bad for Yugoslavia but that was an amazing run by Denmark

Imagine going from not qualified on the pitch to go and win the whole thing lol

I mean yeah, I too feel bad for Yugo.
But then again, Denmark were thoroughly f***ed in the ass for the 94 qual - Guess that was the payment.

But people are overestimating the insanity of it - Denmark were one point off Yugo in the group, and actually beat them
in Belgrade - They did what Denmark always did back then, and gave up pts to a “park the bus team” - Think it was Latvia that time around.

@Duchene2MacKinnon is Messi playing tonight? Should I stay up? Haha
He'll be stat padding like mad. Now that a certain 7 bagged two more goals against the might of Lichtenstein. Apparently Panama are sending a weakened team. No Papu or Pezzella due to injuries.

Media, Balerdi and Amione are pushing behind Perez as CBs. Licha and Romero will be the first choice pairing once Otamendi retires. To be fair to Otamendi he's still playing at a high level.

Martinez might just get the deck chair out for this one. Emi that is.
